Great idea, nemirc! I thought about a "shockwave" early on, but scrapped the idea when I realized I'd have to also 'explode' the buildings in it's path to make it look proper. This can be done, of course, but the problem here is the buildings I'm using are pre-fab, and the polygons on them are rather unorthodox. I haven't figured out a way to make them crumble realistically when the shockwave hits them, without some seriously increased rendertimes (which I can't really afford at this point). I suppose this is one of the downfalls of using Poser props instead of modeling from scratch. :-(
