Hey Vishy,
The explosions at the end of your test are pretty neat. The first couple tests that you did…if these are the smoke tests, then I think you should turn down your expansion and lower your time scale if you are keying it. It feels very explosive, yet has the intent of a smoke simulation.
If you wanted the second test on your video to be an explosion, then I would key the smoke “amount” on your object/simple source to 0, a few frames in. Nice work.
I did a small Maya fluids explosion scene and at the end some Maya fire on the Weyland-Yutani logo.
I would appreciate any critiques or comments you guys may have.
Thanks in advanced 
The 2 fires on the Hammer look the same did you put same fluid sim 2 times?Also did you made that awesome Hammer model its amaizing man gj ;>. I love that explosion cloud shape :>.
Maybe if you add a liiiiiitle more trail after the rocket it will look even better :>.
Edit:Guys I need a color advice for this .I was thinking maybe to make the particles bigger and make them glow or smth like that.Or maybe color keying?
Nice main fluid plume, but as mentioned the flame is a little out of scale and would be nice to see some fast ejector debris like glass and other smaller stuff shoot out. Apart from that looking great man.
@kdronez: Actually it’s one fluid container and two emitters, but I agree those flames are not too great. And no, I did not model the Hummer, that’s from a model catalog. I did everything else though
@Aikiman: Thanks for the tips. That’s very useful advice for my next scene
Did fume always have the get motion in low res sim > one click transfer to hi res sim workflow or is that new to 2.0?
I really hope maya gets something similar the next update. Maybe if we all ask Duncan real nicely…
The wavelet turbulence is new… but it’s always been very good about increasing resolution and keeping a very similar simulation.
I really like that retime thing.
But one thing that I really love most comparing it to Maya it’s the preview window.
That really is something.
Hi all well just a smth I’ve done xD.Hope you will like it :>.The best thing about making fire in maya is that you don need that much res for it :>.It depends on what you are trying to achive tho :>.

of course this cant compete with any fire here, but thought the motion was decent in this after messing with fire - ncloth spinning polygons as the emitter/collider

now to get the shader to work 
thanks to [DJX](http://forums.cgsociety.org/member.php?u=42242) for the ncloth scene to test on... ;)That trick to add turbulence and randomness to a fire sim is great! 
I think ill give it a try.
PS: Ive seen your other tests on fire, i think your sims are lacking more buoyancy, plus aditional swirl and some emission turbulence to get the fire to start to break up a little and have those nice chunks of flames separating from the main flame. But you’re on track, those tests are nice!
Cheers! Yes Ive got some work to do to get it fully realistic, but for just a few hours of ‘messing around’ I dig it.
And yea, using ncloth to emit from is great, as you can get some really nice fluid motion from the ncloth which is inherent in the emission…
