    Hi Parag, I think the easiest way to do something like this is to create the shockwave in After Effects, you’ll have more flexibility in getting the right look. Then render that out as a black and white matte and use it in C4D inside a material which you can stack on top of the ground material. I’ll see if I can knock together a project file and tutorial for you;)
