Needing assistances

#1

Good day,

I am new the CGSociety and the forums.
I wondering if you could help me out.

I am start out with Vue 7 and do not know it and I wish to create jet exhaust for a jet fighter and I would like to use Vue. I was thinking about using and modifying a cloud. I am trying to a get a gaseous area with a very little smoke or black in it.

Could it be done within Vue and how?

Thank you

I was trying to get the same thing and may have somethingthat might work. I used a Light source, META CLOUDS, removed all the SPHERES except for one and sized the SPHERE to be elongated. I want to post a sample but for some reason I can’t delete old attachements to free up space. May post on Newtek and put link here.

Thank you for your reply.
Please post the link. Would like see how you did it.

Or,…

  1. Shape your trail using basic shapes (cylinder, cone, sphere, etc.),

  2. then use boolean operations to give them the overall blobby shape desired, &

  3. finally apply a volumetric ‘smoke’ material.

Now the caveat: I’ve not done it myself…but it seems logical :eek:

Good luck

(P.S. not too sure which method is more demanding on render times…)
