Im sorry if this has been answered before, but im trying to create the effect from armageddon where in the begining as the astroid hits earth u can see the surface of the planet being engulfed in flames. Any idea how to do this in c4d? or is this post production.

Possibly this (http://www.creativecow.net/articles/simpson_mark/waterdrop/) tutorial may be of any help to simulate the waves of ruble and fire spreading out.

Meaby make multiple affected layers with alpha channels, might actually work very nicely as you can also let the buildings and tree's be affected by the same proximal wave...

Defenatly worth a try. :thumbsup:

there was a tutoral some time ago i think in 3dworld magazine. it seemed to involve using a combination of proximal, negative lights and and a loften set of circles that expanded out creating teh shockwave. though i'm sure you could do better with a little playing around.
