Description
One of the crits I got about my last picture, and one I totally agree with, was that the debris looks a little regular. I thought about this and short of modelling a ton of extra stuff, I couldn't think of a way around it. Then I thought I'd try and actually explode the ship itself. So I replicated the decking that I had modelled and then exploded that, changed the speed, gravity and size of chunks and ended up with this, which I hope is a little better.
The main image is just after thefirst of the small pictures. The other two are after it.
The good thing about this explosion method, is that it would animate more realistically. Also, I haven't done any postwork on this. The light from the explosion, the shadows in the cloud, everything really, is just straight from Carrara.
Maybe I'll try an animation next.
Thanks for your comments, advice and time.

Great modelling on the debris. I like this version a lot better :)

Sweet renders, the atmospherics look great in the lower middle render. It would be really interesting to see a animation of this. Superb work!!
draculaz
quite cool indeed! excellent work! :)
MimiSoleil
Sweet! Loud applause!
Svarg
This one is Much better. Good job!
garryts
That really is excellent... I'm also working on explosions in Carrara and it's driving me mad... You seem to have this conquered and have produced a really great, dynamic image. Well done!

I think this one captures the heat of the explosion better and generally looks more dynamic and realistic, it has great lighting and wonderful modelling, and of course would look awesome as an animation.
Ozylot
That is much much better. Well done. only nitpick I have now is to see some more fire. ;)
zhaanman
Ah man that is impressive very cool design and effect!
leoshades
Quite keen!
kanzler
Fantastic details!Fantastic work!
geirla
Wow! Excellent explosion and great sequence of shots. That looks very realistic to me. (And to Ozylot: - fire wouldn't burn for long in a vacuum, even if it looks cool).

The first one was excellent, this one is much better - except for the third-class passengers :)

Another outstanding piece. Great Sci-Fi work here.

The first one was great, but this is truly amazing!

Oh yes, excellent work in this explosion and very good clarity in the detail and color !!! Excellent my friend !! :)

Nicely done, Phil. Meticulous work, and great flotsam in the aftermath.

WOW!! Very very nicely done!!!! I can totally believe this image. ::applauding loudly::

Great stuff! I do miss something of a volume of the explosion itself (fire and smoke, maybe a volumetric cloud, or a couple of particle emitters?), but you are probably working on that?
teteille
very nice work and no smoke needed :-) congratulation

This is a very awesome explosion! Breaking up the model worked perfectly. Excellent!

The luminosity in this version is quite convincing. A combination of this image with some of the debris field from the first, along with some motion blur, might really raise this a notch or two higher. Great work nonetheless!
CrownPrince
HA!! I couldn't even do the first render... I think its great!!
Populus
Spectacular effects! Well done!!!
AwarenessLogic
Fantastic explosion! I'd be interested to see your animation. This is something I need to work on myself. So far I've been cheating by mixing C5 wih Particle Illusion.
chuckerii
Great lighting and colors!
Burpee
To my untrained eye this is totally believable. Fantastic idea of exploding the ship and with excellent result. Wish I could do half of this. Bravo!

I think the debris is really well done. I've never really heard a convincing arguement about how much "explosion" there should be in space, but this looks pretty good to me!
