This particular request was in answer to forum questions at Hivewire3D and got me to thinking about methods I had tried tackling in much earlier versions of the software. I decided to revisit it as it could be very useful in my projects, and set out to create some feasible semi-3D explosions using available tools in Poser 2012. These test only took about 15-20 minutes setup time each, and I am very happy with the results. From these I will create some presets that can be used in scenes where Postwork would require excessive time and effort for a one man production.
