Doesn't an "exploding disk" seem incorrect - physically speaking? I'd
expect an exploding "shell of matter." The "shell" was probably
considered much harder to animate, and the disk was thought of to be
easier to grasp for the audience since it is 2-dimensional. Come to
think of it, what a coincidence that this exploding disk happened to
intersect their ship's plane?!? ;)

I was watching Star Trek VI "The Undiscovered Country" again last weekend.
If anyone has seen it, there is a part where the Kilgon moon explodes
sending out a "shock wave". The wave is a disc of fire and turbulence, not
a sphere. I was wondering if anyone knows a way to create something like
that in LW. I have tried creating a disc, asigning a fractal noise pattern
to it, then setting the transparency to 100% with the edge transparency
set to opaque and a high threshold value. Doesn't look very good.
If any one has any ideas, I would appreciate it... I'm a little bored after
completing my latest video project, and need a new challenge.
Also it was posted not too long ago about creating a nebula using a
displacement map... could someone please repost that.
Thanks in advance
