Small hypervoxel explosion and sparks in a hastily-modeled cartoonish city set.  Used sprites, not volumes.  There is no smoke here since I am still trying to figure out how to do it fast.

Spotlight was used to map the soft shadows for very fast rendering.  The point light in the explosion uses raytraced shadows, which are harsh, and turn out to be 6 times slower to render.  Distant Light didn't even allow baking, which is odd since a distant light is is computationally simpler than a spot light.
