I made a cool effect a while ago, i hada number of plains with a star picture on them rotated at arndom angles on the same spot, then positioned them so they were half above nad half below the ground.

It looks like a massive explosion, then you move them down until they're out of sight.

I made several ghosted spheres appear at random positions, grow, then fade. Getting the spheres to appear grouped together, but still randomly gave the explosion a bubbly, non-simple look.

Can I ask you a Question?
What is it?
It's an interrogative form of sentence, used to test knowledge. But that's not important right now.

How far are you going to see the explosion?
Cos, in most cases, you could just fake it with a bright flash.

Actually, The way the mushroom cloud builds up is pretty basic maths. Hard to explain, but you know how they come up from the ground, move a bit together then lose their momentum when they reach the top... but not yet fall down so much... they just kinda level there... like the path of a single particles is an outer ring of a circle. Very hard to explain.

Do you have a math equation or problem I could use for it, because I'm only 12 and don't know how to do that kindof stuff

What program would be easy to make a mushroom cloud in? I already tried it with 3D canvas, but I'm not a talented modeler. I could use particles, I think I'll try that!
