Since I won’t be able to render all 150 frames in time, here a quick “Viewport Rendered Animation” as “Animated Gif”:

With four times the resolution for the “Smoke Domain” and more bones being pushed away, I get this result:

Frame 109 rendered:

Render Time: 21 Minutes 17.08 Seconds.

Still too much “Motion Blur”.

And as “Viewport Rendering”:

Totally explosive Ingmar! Nice work!

[Ingmar Franz]

Thanks, @blanchsb 😀! 

This will take days to render it out 😉.

[Shawn Blanch]

Geez. Good luck my friend!

[Ingmar Franz]

I only have my “Predator Helios 300” for this 😉😁!

[Karen Trevino]

Great job Ingmar!

[Ingmar Franz]

Thank you, Karen😀!

Just thinking about how to get a better “Terrain Shockwave” using a texture for controling the smoke or fire emitting particles:

This already older video from 2016 with the title “Blender 2.7* Particles From Textures (It’s Complicated)” helped me to set this up. The “Influence” of the texture has to be set to “Lifetime” in order to make it work with a “Movie Texture”. The only drawback is that you have to set the number of particles much higher than the number of particles that are displayed in the end. The “Wave Texture” was created by rendering a plane with “Wave Modifier” and “Emission Shader” in “Orthographic View” and using “View Distance” (“View Z Depth” would work, too) from the “Camera Data Node” in combination with a “Math Node” (set to “Subtract”) and an “Invert Node” as input for the “Emission Shader’s” “Color Input Socket”:

Another technique using “Shrinkwrapped Face Loops”, “Animated Shapekeys” and the “Push Transformation”:
