I had to make a "fallen fireball effect" ,it is easy to fake the fire effect but i have no idea about the moving smoke, can you help me ?

well, this is just a wild guess for i never did it myself, but can't you simply attach a particle-emitter to that falling fireball and set the emitted particles to look like smoke ?!

after that you could animate the smoke by adding fields of turbulence, wind, whatever ... :shrug:

here's a tutorial on "How to create Real Smoke using Software Render" in MAYA 4. --> www.zoorender.com/

hope that helps a little
