That looks really, really good Zeger.  I mean that.

I saw in your previous post that you are using AOI.  I thought about doing 
the same thing for modeling a large thunderhead.  Its very much faster like 
you said, and modeling something like a thunderhead with media is just a 
headache waiting to happen.  How did you place your AOI sphere (or whatever 
surfaces you are using to create the shape), by hand, some sort of macro?

Big improvement! How exactly do you use AOI to create that effect? What sort
of surface is the texture on?

   Almost AWESOME ROLEX quality... I only miss the explosion lighting 
the mountains, but that would need some magic.

   I second Skip and Slime requests for the explanation: it should be 
really interesting to read...

There is something wrong with the background - it is quite dark although 
it seems to be a sunny day.  The explosion now is quite bright (which 
probably is realistic but i lack the first hand experience here ;-))

So you would expect to see:

- the shadow of the explosion cast by the sun
- the light of the explosion cast on the surrounding.

Very good indeed.

But a 'bit' too small for a nuclear explosion ! normally, no more mountains
and no more earth..

agree

Very photo-like, I would only change a bit shape of the "top"

btw, So, I see that topic of Americans attacking Iraq is popular in p.b.i
recently ;)

:)
9500 spheres arranged in a mushroom-shape (with a lot of while-loops of
course :)) and seperated into a couple of categories: smoke, dust and 3
types of fire, all textured with a simple texture: something like:
(for the fire)

texture {
 pigment {
  aoi
  color_map {
   [0 rgb <1,.6,.4>*2 transmit 1]
   [.5 rgb <1,.6,.4>*2 transmit .75]
  }
  poly_wave .75
 }
 normal {bumps .5 scale .5 warp {turbulence .5 lambda 3}}
 finish {ambient .1 diffuse 1.5 brilliance 2}
}

Well, there are 9500 spheres, so clearly I didn't place them by hand :p
They're all randomly placed, within certain boundaries.  Each shape (the
head of the explosion, every shockwave and so on) is a collection of some
while-loops of 30 to 1000 spheres (according to the density of that part).
The next step is to make it animatable :)
