I kinda...in a way...know how to make explosions that don't look terrible.

I end up with a some cloud....and I don't know how to make it dissapear in a cool way. So if you guys could help me..that'd be awesome.

(I've been through the tutorials and couldn't find anything)

Thanks.

Particles, or make it end with the whole frame covered.

I'm working on a new explosion, almost done. It's based on all the advice I got here.

We'll see.

Your explosion slows down and speeds up for some reason, it shouldn't start expanding really fast at the end like it does. Also, smoke trails shouldn't be curled like that, smoke is lighter than air so there is no reason for them to droop. Unless, there is an object leading the smoke trail, in which case, it wouldn't stop and hover like the one you've shown. If you're going to make trails like that, they should keep going till they hit the ground. It looks better if you vary them anyways.

Slow on the end. If it disappears then there has to be an acceleration, intead of making it go even fast.
