After creating an explosion effect, how do you get rid of the object that was blown up, e.g. one spaceship blows up another one...

if it's all under a single shader you could make it transparent, gradually or suddenly

sure, np.

by-the-way, other than disintegrating it to smitherines, i.e. breaking it into millions of pieces, are you also doing some smoking and light stuff like a photonic blast and stuff? It's something you could posibly add as post work in PD Pro

"other than disintegrating it to smitherines"

I think Ockham has an "exploder" in his Python freebies, which can do just that
