There are so many types, mushroom, globes, stars, space shooter types, which is hard for you? I usually start big then gradually make them smaller it works best for me. If you have the final result first it is easy to make it smaller, then reverse the animation.

| Well this is for a verticle shooter, I suppose its like a very detailed globe...oh wow I just had an interesting idea. Make a basic ball shape and get that exploding good then adding the detail like smoke and stuff afterwards. |
