Creating objects out of cigarette smoke
Hi All,
Just wondered if anyone had any good ideas or plugins to create objects out of smoke, quite whispy like cigarette smoke.
So say I have quite a complex shape, like a persons head, I want the smoke to emit and form the head shape and then react to movement.
I have looked at DPIT and Turbulence 4D – but not too impressed. It needs to be quite high end.
Any ideas would be welcomed 🙂

How about using two separate renders. One with smoke as you want it, and another using an alpha with whatever smoke material you are using projected onto a spine (creating the shape you choose). You could then composite the two in Photoshop.

Here’s one with DPIT Effex: https://www.3danvil.com/tutorials/Head%20Smoke%2002.mov
Could certainly be improved with more work.
