The particle effect results

Well first up I sent a link to the wrong tutorial, FumeFx is an add on program so I had to use the Maya fluids tutorial instead, and what a fun time that was.

I'm in two minds about it. On the one hand the explosion does look really good as you can see...

however when you have done the explosion the Maya view port becomes completely unusable, so either I make the ship, add the modifier to bend the ship and then add the explosion after and hope it goes well as editing it afterwards will be damn near impossible or I give up on the nice looking explosion and go for something more reliable that won't break my new computer.

Hmmmm,..decisions decisions.
