Here's an example of the shockwave-like effect in my other post. It also gives me a chance to post a straight-up Max file! I remember learning it years ago from a tutorial I had seen on the web somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Oh, it just occured to me that I didn't make the cylinder in the file non-renderable. Don't forget that!
Same sort of thing...different approach. Shockwaves are cool!
File is in MAX 2009 format.
I used the ring wave so that i could could some movement when the particles emit..mostly on the trailing bit (the inside of the ring). If you want to see something fun....animate the ringwave rotating on its z axis while its growing....and jack up the particle count.
