Hello! I have been playing around with the particle system in Unity to learn it, and ended up making this explosion effect. Let me know what you think! 🙂 [**Web Player Demo**](http://www.davidstenfors.com/webplayer/Realistic%20Explosion.html) ![2290985--154102--Realistic explosion screenshot 1.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/unity/original/4X/d/1/d/d1d2af65ad5320d82d69ccdb00e3d74f7af11084.png) ![2290985--154103--Realistic explosion screenshot 2.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/unity/original/4X/0/2/8/0288276cf09bbe5f7af49e7b88bc739f10978f5a.png) ![2290985--154104--Realistic explosion screenshot 3.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/unity/original/4X/c/f/f/cffbc69a96c40e9619bf22036509c8224589de23.png) ![2290985--154105--Realistic explosion screenshot 5.png](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/unity/original/3X/a/4/a4f66f425ee5c442c7d92b9fbd3414853968faf7.png) ---

It does indeed look pretty good. I think the smoke is a bit too dark and it gives it a bit of a cartoony feel, but probably seeing it in a realistic environment will remove that effect. ---

Yeah i see what you mean :), haven’t tested it in a environment yet but hopefully it looks more realistic then. ---

It didn’t get accepted to the asset store, so if anyone is still interested you can download it here for free: [http://www.davidstenfors.com/downloads/explosion-effect](http://www.davidstenfors.com/downloads/explosion-effect) 😛 ---

What’s the reason for it to not being accepted? ---
