Hi, I am just programming a special effects module that uses OpenSceneGraph. What I need is an explosion or explosion effect that looks as good and realistic as possible. First thing I tried was the osgParticle::ExplosionEffect. Its ok, but I need something that looks like the explosion on the image that I have attached to this mail. Next thing I tried was the Delta3D Particle Editor. The result was much better, but still not enough. It is very difficult to add fragments to the explosion that fly away with a smoke trail behind. For example is it not possible to add an emitter to the fragment. I also tried the OSG Exporter for 3ds max. But the exporter only exports spray and snow particle systems, and in my opinion it is not possible to design good looking explosions with that two particle systems. Furthermore the two particle systems were not exported correctly, so I gave it up. Is there another possibility to create realistic explosion effects with OSG? Or did somebody have success in exporting an explosion from 3ds max to OSG? Any ideas?
