Explosion free 3D model & sprite sheet

A one-shot burst. Nested fire shells, from a bright core to an outer flame, swell and collapse one after another, smoke puffs billow out and fade, and rock debris flies outward. The Burst clip plays once over eight frames at 48 pixels, centred in its cell.

Each shell and puff is scaled up from almost nothing with keys, and the objects are staggered in time so the burst builds and decays in layers. Glow materials with colour ramps give the fire its heat, and the Smoke and Dark stone materials cover the cloud and debris.

Explosions are feedback: a destroyed enemy, a bomb, a crate breaking, a spell landing. Play the clip once and remove the sprite on the last frame. It is a pickup-class asset, centred in its cell, so it drops neatly onto whatever just blew up.

Scale it up for a big blast or down for a small pop, and change the fire colours for magic or toxic effects. It pairs with the bomb in the pickups, and with the barrel and crate as things to break. The fire loop covers what keeps burning afterwards.

• Godot 4: godot/explosion-selout-48.tres is a SpriteFrames resource with 8 animations (Burst_South, Burst_Southeast … Burst_Southwest): drop it on an AnimatedSprite2D and play Burst_South.
• Aseprite: aseprite/explosion-selout-48.aseprite has a tag for each of those, 64 frames in all, to touch up by hand; its .json sits next to it.
• Unity, GameMaker and the rest: sprites/selout/explosion-48px-8-sides.png has 8 rows of 48×48 px cells, one per action and side, South (front) first. A 4-side sheet and the 32 and 64 px sizes are next to it.
• Posts and devlogs: the GIFs above, also in the zip’s gifs/ folder.
• 3D: the GLB opens in Blender, Godot, Unity and three.js. The .blend keeps its modifiers, named parts and materials.
