More Explosions!

The scene near the end of the animation that everyone is including something for, I have also included another explosion on Ford Island.

To save another member of the group having to do the explosion with the planes, as he is the most behind out of all of us, I have blown up where the planes are stationed and the planes aswell.

I have had some trouble creating a Sphere Gizmo explosion to follow the PArray, so have created a Super Spray instead which follows the preset of fireworks. This makes it explode in a circular motion, similar to that of an explosion. The particles have had a material applied as a Face Map, with a layered Gradient so that each face has been given its own texture and is more circular. The render shows it much more circular and realistic of a fireball than the window above shows.

The Sphere Gizmo was not the only problem - at one point the scene would only play and render up till frame 27: when the explosion occurred. I later found out that the problem was with the PArray, but for some unknown reason 3DS Max fixed the problem itself for no reason, typically after I had already re-made the scene. But it all got rendered properly in the end, so that's the main thing!
