3DS Max Planetary Impact

I had a go on this great tutorial: http://max.cgcookie.com/2009/08/18/creating-an-exploding-planet/
This is the result of my 3D doodling. It's a bit basic in some elements, the lighting, the lack of camera shake, but it demonstrates the particle effect well using solid geometry. Just a quick "for fun" project as are most of my uploads here.

Who knew the Death Star was made of ceramic? :D

... Really, I thought that was pretty cool man!

Well, ceramic is sooo much cheaper than aluminium, so the Dark Lord had to economise...

Hey. Can you do the things flying off the planet on a black background? As in just the particles that are flying off. It would be great if you can. Thank you!
