Need help - make smoke to form the yin-yang-symbol

[wonderpup]

I don't know dynamite- but if it works like hypervoxels the way I would approach this would be to model the symbol, animate the moves, then kill the polys and apply voxels to the point cloud- using an appropriate hypertexture to get the 'live'effect.

Thanks for tips!

Yeah, that's the deal with Dynamite - if I want it to look its best, I need to do a "fluid simulation" - the smoke is outstanding, and it moves really well - and isn't that slow to calculate. Check out http://www.cantarcan.com for more about Dynamite...


I need polygons to emit fluids with Dynamite - and I can't see how I really can control them the way I want.. One part has to be bright, and the other part has to be darker... How would you do it with HyperVoxels then? Maybe I need a more detailed breif about it after all.. :)

I would probably set up the morphs, save the objects out under a different names and then delete one side from one and the opposite side from the other then bring the two halves into layout and surface each seperately. There's probably a better way- I seem to remember seeing someone apply a single image to group of voxels, in which case you could do it with a texture. Its also possible to control particle emmission with grayscales, so maybe you could do it with density?
