the tank textures look awesome!! 
interesting info on the explosion technique…as you say it’s not final… but it looks very promising for lots of eye candy…
best wishes for the new year…

Hi Dim! Very Nice words from you, I wish you as well a very happy and wonderfull new year!
Explotion looks very good, but it would be great to see the bridge breaking appart ( Half Challenge building it to destroyit at the end 
:buttrock: ) Of course it is just a suggestion 
Sky looks super, but I can’t crit until see some foreground
Dim, I wish you the best, and hope you have a beautifull end of year party with your friends and your Family! :wavey: See you soon mate! ( maybe next year? )

Yeah, it´s me, but really don´t remember the reason for looking like that, 3-4 years old picture, found it by accident on a cd-rom, and thought people should know who is commenting their work. Hope people still takes me seriously…:)(?)
About the latest submission, I think you need some more defined color borders(if you get what I mean). It´s a little blurry all over. I, myself, have found some explosion references on the net, to sort of learn the nature of an explosion. And even though they look very different from one another, they have some similarities too(too hard to explain it here, but you should try look some pictures up. If already done, then never mind.) Your picture has two stages of an explosion in one event. The middle of the explosion seems to look like being later than the trails, which shows that this has just gone off. hehehehe, I really hope you get my point, just not that good to english:)
Anyways, keep it up.

@ Virtuoso …thank u Michael…happy new year to u too and to your loved ones 
@ Kragh … about your avatar. Thanks for sharing…it’s a cool pic even if don’t remember…:). About both renders…(explosion and Battlefield…they are a bit blurry 'cuase they are simple Maya render in medium quality and with a defualt light…as far as the explosion goes…if i can’t achieve the final result only with 3d …compositing will close the case …hahahaha…i hope :argh:…:D…Happy New year man!
@ Lemog …my friend u wrote that in PERFECT Greek……yeah. Happy new year to u too my crazy Frenchy :bounce:
@ kotsos … Don’t worry friend i am still experimentig with camera angle and kind od View…but in any case i will use as much vehicles and characters and effects i can BUT always with keeping in mind not to make a fuzzy image…i want things to have the tension of Battle but also i want it not to be …too much for eye…
Happy new Year and …oti potheis na to patheis ! :bounce:
