    Thanks for the comments on my toonish dragon, Bunyip and Headwax.

    Andrew, sending positive vibes to your family.

    Enter the Dragon!

    Bruce Lee seems like an obvious subject.  Simple scene with Genesis 2 Lee 6 and one of the Carrara hairs from the from 5 times a lady product.  I used the 3D paint tool to create opacity maps to try to get the red markings.

    Here is an interesting article on the making of Enter the Dragon.  https://www.slashfilm.com/791736/bruce-lees-enter-the-dragon-wasnt-inspired-by-other-kung-fu-movies/

    me and me mates with some girls used to frequent the local drive-in ( gone now ) when we were in our teens to watch Bruce Lee movies... including Enter the Dragon

    during half time the lads would be jumping all over the cars doing their kung fu moves.... cars were pretty tough back then laugh

    great render to bring back some old forgotten memories winkyes

    ed3D - good modeling on the bomb.  Hard to say about fuse thickness with just the bomb as reference.  I think it depends on relation to other objects in the scene.  Is the bomb itself big or small relative to a human hand?  I'd say it looks great as is, but if you scale the bomb up the fuse might look too big next to another object.  Looking forward to the project.

    Thanx Kindly   _   yeah , agree with you're saying

    _   was'nt making the bomb for this Challeng , but could be in it somehow  _   made it just Because   ~   "See Attachment"

    And how to make an Carrara  "explosion"   of any kind  ??

    thanx ~

    ed3D sounds like a fun render you have in mind !!!

    _  while looking at web , saw an thing where they had a illustration of those bombs often seen in TV shows & Movies 

    and decided to make one with Blenders 2.79B _ not sure of thickness of fuse   Thanx 

    Making progress, will be interesting to see how this scene pans out !!!

    well , thanx

    Maybe not what you're looking for, but I use "Particle Illusion" which has a free standalone version (I use the not free plugin version in Vegas):

    Here is an example from an old 48 Hour Contest video "Be Mine" (explosion @ ~ 5:00):

    _ Alright then  ,  will  check-into  this _   Good Explostion  ,  Thanx ,

    Okay.  "The Night Watch" video above is all I have for Carrara animation, but I saw some discussion of "Puff, The Magic Dragon" and thought the attached history of the song might be of interest:

    Thanks for the comments on Bruce Lee.  I see good updates but I will have to return tomorrow to comment.  Here is standard concept.

    Refugee in the Desolation.

    Dwarf is from the old RuntimeDNA store.  I don't think it came to Daz in the merger.  Dragon is a Daz dragon, forktail.
