The last desperate charge of the titanium handled Hibachis.
BBQ Grill model from Pixel Labs with Ulco's heather standing in for sage and Klas' grass.
not sure about the bbq one just in the middle, but i like the flames and smokes effects
otherwise you can join the club :o :

Is that a giant mosquito? also, did you put an image on a plane or card to make the explosion? Looks good, just curious.

I think that was the intended dinner of Turkey or Chicken - but hopefully, not the cook.
Badger : No, the explosion is not a plane or billboard.
The explosion is just three local clouds and a light. One of the clouds uses a mask shape I made for the density, This is the one that
is giving the streaks going off to the upper left.
Choronr : The "Chicken Dinner" is really a small separate population of the BBQ model located up in the air inside the cloud because they are populating a small invisible surface planet object centered on the explosion.
Those BBQ models inside the explosion have a power fractal randomly effecting their opacity function, so this causes them to appear not whole, but as various fragments of the body portion of the BBQ model, which is probably why they aren't readily identifiable except for the grill portions, whose opacity I left alone.
This whole image was mainly a texturing exercise, trying to get variation in reflectivity paint, chipped paint, corrosion, etc.
and also using a small power fractal as a mesh displacer giving the models some subtle (I hope) random dimpling.
Due to the low angle and amount of light I think some of the texture details are lost, but I decided on the early morning light anyway.
Thx (NOT!)..
Now it's near 5 o'clock in the mornin here in Germany and your picture makes me want to eat a ton of medium barbecued premium steaks right now! -.-
Like the fire and smoke effect but...not sure about the rest...what is Hibachi incident means? ???
It also 5 am here :o so I might grab a cup of coffee to see if that help to understand the incident
Thank you fleetwood for your explanation. What you've done here is a learning experience for us.
archonforest : sorry for my twisted sense of humor. I think one day during some tests, I accidentally ran my sense of humor through a warp and redirect.
fleetwood: after my 5am coffee I googled Hibachi and I got the picture. ;)
Otherwise I would not change your humor...twisted humor can be much better may times than the usual :D
