Realistic Explosions

[GalenAltaiir]

About a year ago, I created a topic asking for ideas to create in-game effects. Someone suggested realistic explosions, but I was too busy to really even give it a go. 

 

Now a year later, I come back with the prototype of the effect. I'm not sure if it'll ever be available for download, or complete. But I'll do my best if I really feel up for the job. 

For now, I just wanted to ask what people think of it, and if they have any further suggestions. As of now, there's only one effect, which I based on a nuclear explosion.

The effect is not a script. but an actual effect. It takes about.. 10ish seconds to get from picture 1 to 4.

 

So what do people think? 

 

Note: Yeah, I just realised I put this in Requests and Suggestions rather than WIP. Whoops

Um, to my mind, it doesn't really look that well, but that's just my opinion. I mean,. the mushroom-cloud is a good idea, but the the colors/ lights, they're just something else...

This mod has probably the best realistic explosions. This mod is pretty old and I don't know how no one ever posted anything about it back when you asked.

Yeah, I mean, this is literally the first thing that came out of it. I was more interested whether people like the idea. Colours and textures should (hopefully) look bit more convincing once I play around with it bit more

Yeah, it's pretty good. Although I'm making effects for makermod (which I forgot to mention). So rather than having this as an explosion from a gun or a grenade. You'd spawn it using makermod if it's installed on the server.
