Spectacular Anime-Style 3D Explosion Set Up in Blender

Back in November, 3D Effects Artist Hiroshi Kanazawa blew our minds by showcasing the updated version of his anime-style 3D explosion generator, which then got the ability to create and customize animated explosions. A month later, the artist continues to refine the Blender-made setup, presenting an impressive new functionality recently added to the generator.

Adding to the realism, the new version of the Geometry Nodes-powered generator is now able to automatically create a crater at the epicenter of the explosion, making the blast's impact feel more imposing.
