How to make this seemingly simple smoke effect from Twin Peaks?
Hi everyone,
I have a request: could someone tell me a way to achieve the “tulpa smoke” effect from Twin Peaks S03?
Can it be done with an AE integrated effect or is it a specific expression?
I couldn’t find a video clip yet which would greatly help I’m sure but if you’re a TP fan you know what I’m talking about ☺
Thank you !

Hi Roei,
Yes, I finally found one on youtube!
It’s the bit with the head turning into black smoke that starts at 1:37.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTEAygQBadY
Thanks so much!

You should use a particle system, like Particular or CC Particle World.
Here’s a quick tutorial:

that is some terrible looking smoke? The simplest of particles systems…faded spheres on a fire

Hi Richard,
In the surrealist context of the series, in season 3, it works greatly as most of the effects are quite naive and direct/brutal in a way, which is very refreshing and unexpected. Well, this is David Lynch at work here and it’s great to see that in a TV show.
Episode 8 though is a CGI artistic masterpiece, completely mindblowing.Thank you, I will try that!
Best,
B
