Hi, does anyone ( approximately:) ) know what program was used to create explosion animations in soldat?

I want to create more realistic explosions, without that goofy fire ala barrel with gasoline, i want explosions to be more of smoke and dust not fire.But i dont know how to start.

Thanks ahead.

Edit: Oops.. should have read your post more carefully. I don't know the answer to your actual question :)

I've been wondering that too. I've been wanting to make a big atomic explosion but it's so tedious.. maybe Michal could answer your question?
