Explosions!!
Ok, how to make Explosions.
The Easiest way is to steal them! LOL! What? No, I’m serious! Go to Google or Yahoo and search the images for explosions; And you might get something like this; ![]() And I’m going to add it to this pic; ![]() First thing is bring up the Explosion picture and using the freehand tool, select the explosion; ![]() Right Click and Copy; ![]() |
Minimize the Explosion pic and open the helicopter crash pic, right click and “add as new Layer”;
![]() If the explosion is not the right size, you have to go back to the explosion picture and resize it, and then copy and paste until it is the right size! ![]() Move the explosion layer where you want it. Then using the layers option Pallet, drop the transparency down until you can see through the explosion. ![]() Using the eraser tool, erase the explosion where it overlaps the walls and parts of the chopper blades. It helps to expand the picture 3 or 4 times it’s normal size and adjust the eraser tools size. |
![]() Then, bring back the transparency level until it looks as natural as possible! (I forgot this step in my pic!!!) Then, using the Gaussian blur, blur the layer. ![]() And VIOLA! Explosion and Helicopter crash! The more time you work on these Techniques, and the more effort you apply, the more natural and professional your pic will look!! ![]() |
Realize, I threw this tutorial together. With more time and effort, the results can be much better. Like these two pics:
