Welcome To ProDesignHost.com Photoshop Tutorials Area - Explosion Effect

3D Base Images
Author: Nathan Ng

Start a new document 800x600. Fill the background with black

Now use the eclipse shape tool and create a small round shape about 30x30px.

Then apply the following Gradient: Layer->Layer Style->Gradient overlay.
Gradient Overlay

Position this shape about half way down the image.

Now Duplicate this shape and position it horizontal to the original, and down by about 50px. will this area with these shapes. Also, resize several of them to be bigger than the other so you have a mixture of larger and smaller shapes.

Now use the ellipse shape tool again and create another circle like before, this time though, apply the following gradient colors instead (same settings as previous gradient).

Now repeat the 2nd step above to duplicate these blue shapes and resize to make big and small sizes. fill your image so it look similar to below.

Now, hide the background layer so its not visible. then go to Layer->Merge Visible. This will merge all the shapes together giving you 1 layer with all the shapes., now you can make the background visible again. Now duplicate that layer you just merged and fill the entire bottom part of the image with these shapes.

- Now go to Layer->Flatten Image
-
Then Image->Rotate Canvas->90CW
-
Then Filter->Stylize->Wind: Method: Wind Direction: From the Right
- Then Filter->Stylize->Wind: Method: Wind Direction: From the Left
- Press CTRL+F to reapply the filter.
- Then go to Image->Rotate Canvas->90CW

Now go to Filter->Distort->Polar Coordinate > Rectangular to Polar.

Now duplicate this layer, then go to Filter->Distort->Ocean Ripple:
Ripple Size : 13 - Ripple Magnitude: 9

Now set the layer blending mode to "Screen". and opacity to 80%.

Then duplicate this layer (the layer you just duplicated). and set the blending mode to "Dissolve", and opacity to 70%

Here is mine after adding some text

And After applying Image-> Adjustment ->Color Balance. to the explosion layer.
