interesting thing; i never saw a good explosion made with gs
I agree, there have been some exceptions though. The old version of Glider had some great explosion effects, you can still see a picture of it in the A6 manual. Most people seem to choose either very simple sprites or use a 3D sphere model instead, most of the time, this doesn't really look very nice indeed. In my opinion it should be anything but models, except you're making 'sprite'-models, like the muzzleflash of Snake67 or the effect that can currently been seen in the Preva thread. (and no I don't really like the 3D sphere model they used, I meant the other one.  )
High resolution animated sprites in combination with those 'sprite' models will look awesome when done right, off course it depends a bit one what kind of explosion you want,
Cheers
