Let's Blow Stuff Up!

Hello Class,

Fun with shatter effects and particle effects can make for a cool explosion tutorial. It can be found here:

Explode Stuff

If that links doesn't work or it tells you that you must "login" then paste this in your browser and it should work

What I particularly enjoyed about this tutorial is that it is quite easy to follow and it creates some neat effects that could be used in various different ways. Try for instance a missile hitting a wall that could blow a chunk out of the wall and then have the wall shatter with the explosion on it. Also this creates an almost two in one tutorial, because the second part where it shows you shaping the particles into words and then blowing them apart can be used for different movie style effects as well.
Enjoy!
