Hi, just thought I'd post a max file of a laser system I made recently. What happens is a laser goes through a sphere, eating away at it. It's not really a tutorial, just letting you see how I went about making it. Now I have a quick rendered anim, but no where to upload it (2.3mb). So here's a max file:
http://frodo.hiof.no/~deetee/pfupload/index.php?act=dl&file=c2NvcnAwMDdfbGFzZXIxX21heC5tYXg=

Note: the current state of the max file will take quite a while to render as the ball has many segments with a meshsmooth at 2 iter's at render time.
BTW. If you want to render it, please render through the video post as it has a glow there.

Feel free to ask any questions about it.

Just thought I'd post 2 pictures from the anim:

check files scorp007_laser(*).jpg 1 and 2. The first is without afterburn, just showing the erosion of the sphere in more detail, the second with smoke.

Here's a new and improved max file:

There are many improvements over the first one, but can't remember specifics, so just take a look and render via video post. This one is also much more optimized.

I haven't had a chance to look at how you did it in max, but judging by the jpg's i saw, this looks really cool. I'll be able to use this for a few things back at home that I've been working on. Thanks for posting this up m8!
