I'm writing a simple spaceshooter.

I have read a topic about explosions somewhere on this forum but i cant find it anymore I downloaden the explosiongenerator but the bmp is too small (16 frames) for me. I played the demo of Starwraith and loved the explosions. How do i create cool explosions.

I do not ask for snippets (would be the easiest way though ) but want to know where to get the media etc.

Thanx in advance!

I use 3dsmax to generate explosion myself as there is a very customiseable gadget built in (once you have figured out how to use it, in Max that is no easy task!).

However the best explosion effects I believe are those that combine a multitude of effects rather than just 1.

Anyway I wouldn't be too worried if you borrowed an explosion sequence from a Banshee game and there are a wide variety of sizes and animation lengths in our various games. Asteroids & Episode V: Battle for Hoth have fairly good explosion texture sequences that are easily ripped.
