Sculpting Smoke

[aaabbbcccddd]

Anybody have tips on how to do so? I tried in ZB but it came out looking more like soft serve ice cream or whip cream than smoke. :shrug:

I’m not sure that it has ever been tried before. What are you using it for? Do you have access to a fluid sim in your 3D package? It might be easier to run a sim and snapshot the mesh at a given frame. But this would still be a blobby mesh that would rely almost entirely on the shader for the smoke look.

Haha, yeah. I tried using Maya fluid and got the blobby result. It’s meant to be a stylized smoke so not going for realism. I’ll just have to keep plugging away in ZB I suppose.

Thanks though

like they say, smoking can cause cancer but they dont know the cure for cancer,
but then again who are they?
i need a white doctors coat with a name tag called they that way it can be FDA approved by they.

Bluebell ice cream got past the FDA and shame on bluebell
and Bluebell ice cream got past the FDA Twice
then shame on the FDA.
i herd bluebell was some killer ice cream

I have absolutely no idea what’s happening here, but please don’t drink and post.
