  my attempt at an explosion (using media)

Finally, after attempting to figure out how media works, I've managed to
make an explosion I'm fairly happy with.  It's obviously rather basic still,
as I've just done it as a media test this afternoon...

I've also used media to create green "pulses" that I thought looked cool,
and added a faint sort of "shock wave" sphere on the outer edges of the
explosion.  Nathan Kopp's lens flare include (as a Moray plugin) was also
used.

Yes, I know there's not *actually* any object being blown-up ;)

Feel free to check it out at

It was created using Moray 3.1 only (ok, so maybe that's cheating a little -
with it having such a good material editor ;).  If you're interested, the
.mdl can be found at:

Feedback is most welcome :)
