how to create comet fire tail effect

[GravidEngine]

I doubt you'll get too many answers on this kind of question. There are so many ways to achieve a single end result in most any 3D software. I would guess that they used alot of fluids and multiple particle systems rendered on seperate layers and composited together with alot of adjustments and work done by the compositors.

What of Maya's dynamics do you understand and feel comfortable working with?

thank you all of your answers i will try it but it seens
use 3d particles system would get easy than us after effect

i would suggest using sprites. fluids will do the job too. thou its probably gonna be a heavy scene. particle clouds will work as well. thou its really gonna depend on the level of realism your going for.

unfortunetly, these are both written for max, but it may be possible to imitate in maya:
