All that movement in the clouds... somehow looks incredibly beautiful and yet horrific all at the same time...

Three (overnight) test renders I did over the last few weeks:

http://vimeo.com/9389534 <= 1st test with particles, shader and rig for moving particles on mesh surface (thought this was too bright for too long)

http://vimeo.com/9389721 <= 2nd - modified timing of colour changes and added a ground level blast ring.

http://vimeo.com/9389769 <= 3rd - a more detailed blast ring and just started looking at overall colour of image - unfortunately I think the crown of the explosion is becoming too "smooth" - will add greater variation to particle sizes. Cloud shape needs to become more irregular over time.

If I find time I'll rebuild the rig to include the smoke column, cloud erosion effect and some vapour rings...
