Nuclear Blast with fluid effects? For me it really looks like fluid movement at least at the beginning. The rest is nice, but there seems to be a non-visible frontier at the left side. :rolleyes:
Maybe a nuclear blast in water, but... well... :beer:

That's really nice looking. I can't wait to start comething on fire:p

Lutz, it's supposed to look that way. The smoke IS colliding inside a box. See how the smoke curls over itself as it hits the walls? That's why they used fluid dynamics. Smoke really does that in air due to changes in air pressure. Fluids are just a type of dynamics, they aren't strictly for water. Any particle object can use them; smoke, fire, water, clouds, steam...
