I believe that the effect you see there is a particle system. Either in a 3D program or a combination of a 3D program and compositing program (like AfterEffects). I don't know if you need the same type of action - a body or object turning into smoke, but I did find a preset that might help you. The only caveat is that you have to have Trapcode Particular.

This would be a good starting point, depending on what you want to do you will probably have to mess around with the velocity and particle count etc.

Hope that this helps.

i think the smoke you point at, is created with Houdini, the best 3D program and has a powerfull particle system,
but with trapcode Particular you may create like that.
good luck...

yup theres actualy a tutorial inside the houdini package that explains how to achieve whispey smoke like that, if you have the apprentice edition i suggest you check it out (www.sidefx.com)

If I would need to duplicate this effect my money would be at 3ds max and after burn.
