Not bad at all :thumbsup:



I am still getting to grips with Pyrocluster.I always learn quicker with a written manual as opposed to a pdf :)

Sorry about the delay in getting back. The settings were quite simple in the end. I had three settings checked: Gradients, Diffuse and Transparency. Here are each's settings:

Gradients:

colour left: 185,236,255
colour right: 255,240,206

opacity left (at 25%): 0,0,0
opacity right (at 100%):10,10,10

Diffuse was white at full brightness, using the Orean-Nayer model with illumination at -50%

Transparency was set at 1, with internal reflection checked and solid object unchecked.

My particle system was a set of 3 spheres at three different sizes, although I can't remember if the picture I posted was using just one sphere. The emmitter had settings of this:

Birth rate: 25
birth rate (rendered): 100
Visibility: 100%
Start emission: 0
Stop Emission: 125
Lifetime: 500F 30%
Speed: 150m 50%
Rotation: 30deg 100%
Scale 50%
End Scaling 1
Seed 0
both boxes unchecked

Hope that helps. I will try to get some more pics up this weekend, although I am transplanting my machine into a new Antec case, so that might take a while.

how were the render times? looks good, btw!

[fxgogo]

The render times were not bad at all. A minute or two a frame I seem to remember. I have an Athon 1.2ghz with a gig of ram, to put it in perspective.

Yeah, I was going to come back to my smoke experiments shortly, but with R8 on its way, there does not seem to be a reason to do it anymore.
