Particle Project

#1

Hi, I’ve never attempted anything serious with particles so I was hoping someone could give me a brief rundown on how to go about creating an effect I want.

If you watch that video you can see I have a tank coming out of a cloud of smoke. I’d like the smoke to swirl around the tank as the air is pushed out of the way. And afterwards have whisps of smoke trailing off the tank as it leaves the cloud.

Any advice on what systems to use and how to setup the effect is most appreciated.

Thanks

I think this can be done with FumeFX. If you have the dvd “Turbo Squid FumeFX Essentials” - by Allan McKay, there is an tutorial on it called “Breaking Ground”. That pretty much covers what you want to do.
Offcourse you need to tweak it the way you want. :slight_smile:

Here is an little screenshot of it:
