Well post your stuff, what's not good?

[danielce23]

well, i havent made a full render to post it (sorry), but i promess to make one tomorrow, but the problem is that my objet is moving, so it makes the smoke or fire moves different.
im really open to any option, not neccesary fumefx, im thinkin usina pflow and afterburn?? i dont know what the best way to do that effect,.,,

sorry, im kinda new in this, thanks!

Not much anybody can do to help you - if you show reference and a starting position, that would be more useful.

Tip:Whatever you have is good enough to get you started.We will know what you want to show through your drafts...and when I say drafts I mean screenshots,scene files.....so dont be shy and say that its not good...or its bad....post your stuff and ask questions.....atleast tell us what kind of approach you have thought of for that particular shot...

Hope this helps.

yes exactly! that is kinda what im looking for. i have to make like a 10 sec scene, so i need it to be a constant flame, like no turbulence at all. can you tell me please how can i do that?

i will post tomorrow an example of what i got anyway. i cant do it today because im in my house and my file are in myjob's computer. he

thank you very much jigu!!

I have attached the file. check the attachment. :)

[danielce23]

ok first of all, thank you, you are being very helpfull,

i tried to do it the way you told me and i had 2 problems.

1) i have like a black stain and i cant remove it, i tried by decreasing the amount of particles, and it dissapeared,,,, but with very few particles it doesnt looks nice... (see first image)

2) i need that the tail of the meteor looks smoother? (i dont know really whats the word).. or less turbulence.. i put a reference image so you can see what i need. (second image)

thank you very much!
regards!

Make sure in PFlow property motionblur is turned on. and set the motionblur amount to 8.0 or more.

Also in my scene, Asteroid object is Non renderable and I created one plane linked to asteroid which is used for "Speed by surface" for particles (i.e. to drive particles motionblur perpendicular to asteroid...)

I hope that helps.

I wouldn't use FumeFX for that effect. I'd use PFlow - one stream for the wide, less opaque cone, and one for the inner one.

ok i made the meteor looks pretty good, but when i made a video, it looked very weird, with a lot of movement, or motion. how can i fix that, could it be the motion blur?? or is a particle thing..? i hope i was clear. also with the motion blur the rendering process was very slow. i posted already a reference of what i need. i need exactly that effect.
Thank you people for helping me!
i couldnt post the video because it was a very big file!!! sorry...

Thanks again and regards!

[danielce23]

ok here is the video i made, but it looks very weird, perhaps increasing the particles and reducing the size of the particles?? how can i fix it?? i need it to be more.., constant and like is moving really fast!
please help me!

Regards and thank you all

[danielce23]

oops! sorry i couldnt post the video but i let you here some images of how the video looks... it suddenly changes to the second image and i need it to be like the third image all the time! but at the same time that looks like is moving really fast.. maybe increasing the particles?
please let me know if i explain myself..

regards
