The only things that don't work for me is that the explosion is too
spherical, it should be replaced with scattering media (or maybe a
combination of absorption and emission media if you dont want it to check
for light source visibility), and the rock peices close up have no shading
(could be fixed with a dim shadowless light off to the side somewhere, or
radiosity if you wanted to slow down the render a lot.)

Otherwise, it's sorta cool.

    It's not an explosion, it's a spinning ball of lava formed by continuing
impacts of asteroids. But at least you didn't immediately see the problem I
was thinking about.

I can see some strange black stripes in your picture, but maybe that's
simply due to jpeg compression...

    No, that seems to be from Chris's Galaxy include.

    Since I decided to fix the problem, I can say what it was. Several of
the silhouetted asteroids were identical. I only have three shapes and I
didn't rotate them randomly enough.

Oh, heh heh, actually, I *did* notice that, at one point, but didn't really
notice it *enough* to think any more of it.

    Well, here is the fixed version, minus the off angle that I intend to
fill with something interesting. I've decided that the black lines are not
Chris's fault after all, they seem to be the edges of my isosurface media
container. I think I will try changing that to a sphere. There was a reason
I didn't do that before, maybe I can overcome that now.

I know this is a little late (I'm trying to catch up on 3 years worth of awesome
pictures)

- but -

This is awesome!  I'm gonna use it as my desktop background for a while, I
think.  Although, I did like the angle of the first one better.

    The slightest bit of approval is all that is needed for me to do a 40
hour render, outright flattery should be saved for when you really want
something big.
