I thought it sounded like a catchy title (-: This challenge was inspired by AZChip's wonderful fireball tutorial. The obvious first target of my wrath should be the earth, of course. So, one sphere primitive, several particle generators, and two metaballs later, I blew up da earth. I think I may have made the render size too large, as I had to export it as a MOV (1.2mb). But high-bandwidth users should have no problem. So anyways, BOOOOM! Nebula Supernova Studios

Very cool! I really like the shockwave ring coming from the equator. (I don't know why such a thing would really happen, but the image keeps showing up and it's cool looking....) I'll have to see what I can come up with, now.... Never one to leave a challenge like this unanswered....
