Description this tutorial was a bugger to write, but by popular request, how to explode a planet in 9 steps. It's still fairly complicated, don't expect an easy ride. One layer mode requires ps7, however ps6 can be used on the most part.

Please appreciate the effort that went into this.

if this tutorial is found ANYWHERE other than [link] [link] or [link] then has been ripped, and i urge you to contact me about it [link] << there.

and don't forget to EXPERIMENT so that you can learn from this!!!

i hope that this tutorial can receive as much attention and coverage as the fire tutorial did it's good to share the knowledge, help me share.

This tutorial has been released for my newly released website over at [link]

Nice tutorial

I kind of went through the steps and made an exploding planet, but I made it more magma-like than you did.

I’ve smashed up a link to your page my picture
If you want to see and comment the result, I'll be very grateful.

But if you don’t have the time, that’s ok too.

Thank you for a great tutorial.

Oh, something you might like, for the rays part: [link] I found that a while ago, it makes some purely awesome rays of light. I'm sure it could be adapted to what you're doing with it, and it might look more accurately 3d
