@kitsune0video I rendered the fumefx pass with scanline and just one light in around 6 hours. The Background it's just a still image (rendered with Mental Ray´s very basic daylight system set up) which I relight with the normal pass. The motion blur, Depth of Field and glows & glare, heat haze distortion were added in post production. I'm using a jalopy Quadcore@ 2.4GHz, 1 GB Nvidia 240 and 4 GB RAM.

Its hard to set up fume fx? never tried but your test looks just perfect!

If it comes with presset to make easy the work... :P

@kitsune0video No presets unfortunately but the way it works seems to be very natural; I mean, You must emit some fuel in the time the temperature rises so it explodes, you can set up that in the simulation tab in the main float window. Since it's a gun powder explosion the smoke must to be thin. You set up that in the rendering tab in the main floater window.
