Explosion test

I want to display some particle effects so what better way than making things explode!!!

I started with a uvsphere and gave it particle effects to leave a trail of 'dust', it followed a path, and then when it reached the top I added another sphere with an exploding particle effect and a flare and got it to explode on frame 100 until 140. I had to make sure not to render the object, and playing about with the colours was key. I love the way the sparks fade away like a real firework.
