EmberGen 1.1: Explosive and Magic Shockwaves Tutorial²

In this tutorial we’ll be looking at how to make a couple of different shockwave effects with EmberGen’s particle emitter - if you’ve never used it before, jump in now - and find out how easy it can be to get awesome results with surprisingly little work! Stick around until the end where we’ll go over a couple of extras - animating light sources and adding an animated post effect, to give your animation additional sizzle.
