yet another explosion anim. Theyre getting better I think. The smoke shouldn't dissipate this quickly, but I needed the animation to be relatively short. I might change the smoke to be slower later on. EDIT: I changed the explosions' timing

So beautiful!

I have a hard enough time with still pixels. Animation is a whole other area. Thank you for sharing this exquisite piece, FrankieSmileShow.

TacoLoco (Level 1 Gangster) @ 3/10/2013 18:07

That has to be the coolest fading smoke i've seen...

vampireslug (Level 5 Detective) @ 3/25/2009 03:48

Has a very organic feel to it, very impressive. I really like the smaller secondary bursts, nice touch.

Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 12/9/2008 01:59

Wow, a lot of hours indeed... GJ!

KwIjL (Level 5 Captain) @ 4/26/2008 23:23

Bloo (Level 5 Lieutenant) @ 4/14/2008 03:36

Awesome explosion

Raku (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 4/10/2008 02:01

Great stuff

I like yours black smoke

Fool (Level 6 SWAT) @ 4/2/2008 03:41

That some impressive blast=)

FrankieSmileShow (Level 6 Manager) @ 3/29/2008 07:46

Thanks for the comments! The animation is 22 frames.

purpletree (Level 6 Manager) @ 3/28/2008 23:09

awesome animation again but how many frames...

JerryPie (Level 11 Big Foot) @ 3/28/2008 17:16

Gil is right on this one. The smoke just doesnt match the explosion size. I'm in the military, I see my fair share of explosions, and the smoke lacks its natural gracefulness. It's to rough and quick toward the end of the animation. It should be strong and powerful but billow upward slowly, not raise like a curtain on a stage. Great work though, this is awsome.

Metaru thinks it's too slow, you think it's too fast... both should cancel out :P

happy bacchus (Level 1 Thug) @ 3/28/2008 16:25

Great, but I think smoke dissipates too quickly... or maybe it's just me

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) @ 3/28/2008 14:39

I believe that the Smoke dissipates too slow...

SillyJonna (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 3/28/2008 11:23

Wow, this is an awesome animation!

MyOvenisEvil (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/28/2008 09:10

This looks really really good. What exactly is exploding?

Gil (Level 6 Major) @ 3/28/2008 08:46

You need to work on the smoke part a lot, but the flow is excellent. I think you're animating the smoke as if it were a small explosion, you need thick pillowy smoke balls instead. This feels more like grind stones being kicked up in the air...

mikl3 (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 3/28/2008 08:05

you are explosion-king!

Bengoshia (Level 3 Stalker) @ 3/28/2008 03:28

I like it, feels hairy though, if that makes any sense.

Larwick (Level 8 Tengu) @ 3/27/2008 13:56

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM.

Warwolt (Level 1 Thug) @ 3/27/2008 04:14

Indeed, awesome! Thsi is some REALLY complex animation.

purpletree (Level 6 Manager) @ 3/27/2008 00:52

GREAT EXPLOSION EFFECTS AWESOME!~ how many frames???

ceddo (Level 7 Ichikyu) @ 3/26/2008 09:35

I envy you. How long did this take to make?

AndyOaks (Level 1 Rookie) @ 3/26/2008 07:22

Amazing! Really well animated. Looks straight out of a Metal Slug game.

Varock Shade (Level 7 Underboss) @ 3/23/2008 06:45

You don't even have to look at the name to see at the preview that you made it... Very recognizeable style

Also a nice explosion, but somehow the animation doesn't seem smooth... Maybe not enough frames in the last (smoke) section?

felchqueen (Level 6 SWAT) @ 3/23/2008 02:51

Wonderful! I've been sat here for ages, just marvelling at its beauty.

Miumau0 (Level 6 Made) @ 3/22/2008 10:07

Good explosion. I like the animation and colours are perfect. fav'd

shmupstick (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 3/22/2008 08:33

Marvelous! Heaps better!

FrankieSmileShow (Level 6 Manager) @ 3/22/2008 06:44

Yeah I just gave all of the frames the same timing. Ill modify the whole timing right now and see if its better (Ill add a notice in the description when its done)
thanks for the comments!

(its changed now. Its a lot better like this, indeed)

shmupstick (Level 7 Sheriff) @ 3/22/2008 03:55

Really nice.
A bit slow to get the first white flash to be effective, though.

Emanu (Level 3 Chief) @ 3/22/2008 03:46

wow man, thats almost metal slug-class on this one. good work!

Zweckform (Level 1 Intern) @ 3/22/2008 02:29

Blasts me away :-) nice animation, though the smoke acts a bit strange imho, but i cannot tellyou why. Also its too fragmented it seems. Nice anyway.

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) @ 3/21/2008 21:12

explosion animations are very hard. congratz on a good anim

dragonxxjef (Level 1 Gangster) @ 3/21/2008 19:34

greenraven (Level 2 Hired Gun) @ 3/21/2008 18:59

Never a dull animation from you. Kudos.

skeddles (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 3/21/2008 18:21

Thats epic.

vedsten (Level 2 Flatfoot) @ 3/21/2008 18:14

Hot as always. Why is the explosion sliding right tho?

Acherhar (Level 5 Amethyst) @ 3/21/2008 18:04
