I was going to do something like that on my Website a year ago but I decided not to, because something like that would take forever to download and no-one would wait around for that . I did the Glowing metal with the EFFECTS/OUTER GLOW filter, for the Metal I used LIGHTING EFFECTS to give the metal a real metallic look, for the sparks I used a simple LENS FLARE; White for the spark when it first shows and then a Reddish FLARE as the spark is cooling off. I have some simple tutorials on my website they are very simple but after trying them out, you might figure out some new and interesting tricks with Photoshop. The best thing to get a realistic look, is to study real scenes like you described. Movies are great reference for that. Dwmdesigner
