Hi and Thanks all. Your support really helps me.
Today I share new RayXplosion tool. I add ability to define simulation geometry before simulation, fix bugs and make it more stable. Actually the same fixes as in new RayFire.
Here link to old video tutorial

Hi, Here new RayFire update. v.1.15
In this version I as always fixed bugs.
Removed old stupid constraint - now you can use any geometry object as gun, not just 2*2 plane, RayFire will shoot from pivot point in z axis direction.
Added Bake Transform checkbox for displace feature - this mean that now you can use displace feature on deformable objects.
Made all spinners in options (except holes and subdivide level spinner) interactive, now if you want change any parameters for any created stuff just change them in RayFire instead of delete created stuff, change parameters and create them again.
I added Information section with progress bar which will help you to understand what exact happening.
Also I placed RayFire at Scriptspot.com

maybe one of the greatest tool i ve seen so far.i have just one little problem:
when i hit on instant action, the button turn into āactiveā and nothing happen when i re click on it to make it inactive, my mouse is stuck into tracking mode.

Push right mouse button to abort instant action.
In v 1.15 I added information section, you can read this help there.

Cool. I already add instant action feature for deformable object, now you can create all chosen stuffs and custom objects on deformable objects. RayFire will automatically attach them to surface. Tell me if you need this feature before I share new update.

#134
thatĀ“s really kind from you
what i plan to do is a simple chase where a minigun tries to get a characterā¦so for what RayFire is able to do itĀ“s a real simple setup just a lot of demolition 
but iĀ“m really looking foreward to this feature! means you can now aim on literally everything that moves including animals and humans paintball-massacre

Hi, today I added displace support for instant action feature, now You can create displaces by hand and RayFire automatically subdivide closest faces and bind displaces to impact object. Also now RayFire remember all stuff created in last Instant Action session. This mean that now you can quickly delete them or change their proprties.
I try to share new update at this week (maybe even with video tutorial about all last features).

Hi, I test a little new update and it works fine.
As I said earlier in this update (v.1.16) I add instant action feature for deformable object, now you can create all chosen stuffs and custom objects on deformable objects. RayFire will automatically attach them to surface. I add displace support for instant action feature, now You can create displaces by hand and RayFire automatically subdivide closest faces and bind displaces to impact object. Also now RayFire remember all stuff created in last Instant Action session. This mean that now you can quickly delete them or change their properties.

the instant action function is off the hook!!!
the interactivity the tool provides in this taken further state is just awesome. you can test your shot with a fairly low amount of everything and if itĀ“s going into the desired direction just increase everythingā¦a REAL timesaver indeed!
i must admit RayFire has a quite huge funcionality now. too much for a single evening to get at least for me. maybe soemone will create tutorials with sound. i get most of the details maybe iĀ“ll do. this deserves a single tutorial DVD in connection with RayExplosion
a highly undervalued tool and artist!
mir you kick majour aĀ§Ā§

Amazing Tool RayExplosion!!
I have just 2 questions about it:
1-What is used from basic reactor functions to create the bomb?
2-What do the 2 columns in Bomb section (Animate, Strenght, Rotation)?
mir-vadim
#140
Hi, loran.
The Bomb is totally my simple algorithm, it just create animation for Throw objects moving them in all directions from Bomb object. You can see what it does if check off ācreate animationā checkbox. RayXplosion takes all objects, find average distance from bomb object and move all objects at this distance, strenght spinner just multiply this distance. First animation spinner define how many frames they will move at this distance after explosion and second spinner define when reactor start create animation (4 and 2 means that object will move 4 frames after explosion and reactor start create animation after 2 frames after explosion - in the middle), rotation spinner just rotate object a little, it makes explosion more realistic.
Hope my explanation helps you.
