Exists some system to create explosions animated in Vue 5? Thanks!!!!!!!!

No, i don't think so. No particle system in Vue. So you need a workaround or you have to combine the scene with explosions from other programs.

Cinema 4D?

For example yes. But speaking in general you normally have to do the compositing with postwork. Render the "background" in Vue and the effect in Cinema, ParticleIllusion or whatever and combine that then in postwork. Or do a sequence of models in Cinema (particle system for example) and then exchange in Vue the model for each frame. I did things like that a long time ago to get effects that the original program was not capable of. A "growing" logo for example where i generated 250 models for a 10 sec animation and exchanged the model after each rendered frame. Is a little time consuming, yes but possible.

Carrara has a particle system. I thought you had that Estruch?

Boy that isn't all Carrara5 Pro has! An early review from an 3D software agnostic site even rated Carrara's surface distribution as superior to Vue's. Hopefully I'll be able to dump V5I in the near future!
Sorry, but I purchased both products...can't help it!

Not have Carrara, but yes Cinema 4D.

Why not just fo it the way many explosion effects are done. A flat panel with an animated explosion texture from the like of artbeats.com mapped onto it.

There is a free fireball from BountyfulKnight here in freestuff. You can download that and see wether you can animate that. Simply scale it, maybe animate the material.

http://www.animationsforvideo.com/html/hotcakes_vol5.htm If you have a video editing program, you can take any of these animations and make them an alpha-plane in view (it says "multiple file formats" so that might be new - when I bought the CD they were only TARGA files). As for the object actually "exploding" and breaking apart into many piece and being flung outward... Yeah, you would need a more complicated program than Vue (like C4D, which sounds like you already have). You would also want a dedicated compositing program (like Adobe After Effects, Autodesk Combustion, Apple Shake or Motion, etc.) to add debris, clouds, lighting effects - things to sell the illusion aside from a ball of fire and an object coming apart. Hope that helps- -Lew ;-)
