Thanks Paolo. I am still terrified though ;-)
I am adding a spherical shock wave to complete the impact.
For the fog over the water I used a df3 file made with Gilles Tran's
MakeCloud.

This is really the final image. Added a spherical shock wave.

I have some problem with that shock wave: It don't difract light.
A shell with an ior of about 1.1 to 1.17 would be more convincing.

This gets me into problems :-(
For the example I switched off the solid ejecta. I also tuned down the
fog over the water.
For the shock wave I used an ior of 1.01. Obviously, now its media
interacts with the other media inside, especially the dust ejecta
container. Higher ior makes it worse.

It looks like a solid, full, shell. Make the shock wave shell as a
difference of 2 spheres.
To bad we can't have variable ior, as in this case, it should go from 1
(in the air in front of the wave), raise in an S shape to maybe around
1.1, then drop slightly under 1 before returning to 1.
You may also try playing giving the area inside the sinside an ior
slightly less than 1, like 0.98 to 0.995...

I did too but that was not better, rather worse.

Yes, that would be cool.

Yes, I tried too. It corrected somewhat the inner media but did not
change the chock wave appearance.
I shall still make a couple of experiments.

The best I can get at this stage (no good) using a differenced sphere
for the shock wave. Diffractions looks ok at the border but I cannot get
the transparency of the sphere right. The cloud layer is also
differenced (a tiny bit larger sphere) to ensure that no clouds are
present inside the shock wave.
Code snippet:
difference {
sphere {0, 1
hollow
texture {pigment {rgbt <1,1,1,1>} }
interior {
ior 1.1
media {
intervals 1
samples 10, 1000
scattering {1, 0.000025
extinction 1
}
}
}
}
sphere {0, 0.98
hollow
texture {pigment {rgbt <1,1,1,1>} }
interior {
ior 1.0
}
}
scale MediaScale * 1.52
translate <CamLoc.x, CamLoc.y, 5000> + <2800, 0, 0>
}

Trying to get at the problem. I here switched off the sphere
representing the sky and the atmospheric media. Also corrected the shock
wave container as follows:
//start code
difference {
sphere {0, 1.00 hollow}
sphere {0, 0.98 hollow}
material {
texture {pigment {rgbt <1,1,1,1>} }
interior {
ior 1.1 //shock waved air
media {
intervals 1
samples 10, 1000
scattering {1, 0.0001
extinction 1
}
}
}
}
scale MediaScale * 1.52
translate <CamLoc.x, CamLoc.y, 5000> + <2800, 0, 0>
}
//end code
While one can see /inside/ the shock wave, it is not possible to see the
stars through the opposite end of the sphere... why?

OK. Got the transparency solved. Just a stupid max_trace_level issue :-(
Next problem is to get rid of this sphere edge seen in cross section...

max_trace_level maybe?
