hi guys, i need Help making an explosion that emits debris or smoke plumes coming from the explosion using POPS,similar to the video below. can someone give me pointers, i'm ok at creating an explosion and shading it, but i've never used Paticles before to drive that debris or smoke plumes that fly out of the explosion. The file below is my first attempt at trying to create the smoke plumes ejecting from an explosion like the video below. can someone please give me pointers. Thanks

anyone?
