Anyone know of a good explosion plugin for Truespace? I dont really want to spend the money to get vcTNT.

I need it for some reaslistic exlosions and smoke for my 3D movie. Its just a short intro to a 3D animated internet series im planning on doing.

thanks!

Nothing beats google!

I think what you need is something called Pyrocluster...

Here's a direct link:

Since I haven't got Truespace, I can't verify exactly what the download is, but according to the webpage, that's some sort of update pack that installs the Pyrocluster explosion plugin.

Fingers crossed it does install it, coz I saw some websites selling the plugin for as much as $700... 8O

There were other plugins available, (Not necessarily explosion-based) so if you want to checkout the page it was on, here you go:

Hope that helps.

thanks - i dont really have 700$... thats fine though. ill figure something out. I already figured out a way to make realistic bubbles from a torpedo or a propellor, but a scene with a good amount of subs was over 3 million vertices...

thanks for the links!
