Heh, thanks, I'm excited to be getting such a great response out of everyone
=)

The explosions are spheres with media inside them. There are multiple media
inside the sphere. Each media has a highly turbulent spherical density.
These spherical medias start at the center of the main sphere, move outwards
in a random direction, and then turn into smoke before fading out. then they
start again at the center. they all do this one after another.

the fire is just emission <1,.7,.3> or so, and the smoke is absorption 1.5
or so.
