Hi, im noob in special effect, the only thing I do before its modeling and texturing.

I see the plugin afterburn, its make great realist explosion, but i cant afford it.

I want know, if is possible to do realist explosion into 3dmax itself ? If yes, do you have a tutorial for this?

Thanks and sorry for my bad english ;)

edit: I have 3dmax 4

Before volumetric tools like Afterburn came around (1997-98) we used opacity mapped spheres. While it's not the same, you can get away with volumetric-like effects by using noisey spheres with opacity falloff (Falloff map) and some procedural noise to breakup the uniformity.
