So change 0.5 seconds. Click. Okay, and double click here. Let's go to find five. Plag ins, annual explosions. Let's see. Next, and next. A label is good, slit the level and drop to fire composition. Move it to center. So set from the start from there, scale down the size, set to center So I think go to second three, press T for the P t, M zero. Go back to final con, press control plus k, and right here final. Okay. So drop the fire composition to final con and create another new solid. Write the name part. Enter and go to effects, go to trap partic and wait for the result. So theories are particular select and go to me change to lights. And next, go to second five, Stopwatch particles, press page down for one frame change to zero. Now, change mor size to zero, press tab, zero, zero, zero, and zero. Okay, change light intensity to none and go to go to particles and go to sphere, change to a spray. Now go to spray control, select fire, and change time sampling to start a bird stretch. Look, guys, first, turn off the particles. I need more particle. Not too much a little bit down the size and change the size of the particles. Change to. And now go back to rotation. Make rotation between these particles, M rotation. So change blend to add. Let's select the screen. Now go back to life second, Cange to into two, change to one. Okay. Let's change again. Add lighting. The lighting is not bad. Looks good. Select the particles, press F four, and change to Olay, let's select again to normal. And change second, 0.5 So 0.7. Good. Let's render. Turn off the sound and tram com, start from second three, and end of second sex and play again. Okay, guys. So select your particular and go to rendering Muhion blur. Turn on the Muhion blur. Next, let's import the other footage of explosive. By going to project, double click. We go to desktop, and there we have explosion and their charge, import select explosive. Move there. So let's select And I This track solid, copy the position and select explosion footage. Press turn on the treaty switch, next, go to material options, exit light, turn off turn off exit light.
