  Blobby smoke

  Posted by Oldnick on October 15, 2007 at 8:43 pm

  I am trialling PI to make smoke. It works fine. I have managed to make a thin stream AKA cigarette smoke. However I have struck one problem; when the emitter moves rapidly across the stage, the smoke tends to remain behind in blobs rather than as a thin stream.

  Is there any way around this?

  Thanks for any help

  Try increasing the “number” of particles. Usually have to do this for emitters that move “too fast”.

  Worked a treat. I had rasied the number, butb not high enough. I lowered Visibility way down, to avoid simply having far too thick an appearance.

  Thanks again
