It's a quick shot with standard poser light's and no big changes to found materials or special posing.

If you want to play with it, rename the file back to zip and unpack. It's the pz3. So all shader's are in there.

The starship is Thunderbird1. You can find it at vanishing point (www.vanishingpoint.biz/freestuff.asp) under thunderbirds. Also there is a poser 5 explosion ... no, no, not poser is exploding, it's a set for use in poser ... haven't tried that up to now.

Then there are 3 poser standard props torus. Sized and rotated to fit to the camera view.

The shaders are mostly from a package by ajax. Found it sometimes somewhere in freebies.
They are used as is with exception at the ships engine room. I added a spot node to displacement with a heavy amount to break up structure.

With a bit more time that spots could be changed to be more spiky and less dense. Than looking more like small explosions or outbreaks.

The shader of the inner ring is fire explosion. As I remember it was included in P5 so might be also in P6/7. Don't know cause I mix all materials not directly and specific belonging to a figure or prop in one separate runtime. It's easier to find and use them with all other parts.

Looking to the picture there could be one more torus covering all others with a shader mostly full transparent and having some small black/dark pieces/triangles. This would simulate broken part flying away.

The background is also only shader, no texture image. I think it came originally also from ajax but I've modified it some time ago. For my needs it was much more blue something like early morning or evening.

But for some minutes with trial and error not to bad I think ... :biggrin:
