    Can someone please point me in the right direction to making steam blasts in C4d? All the tutorials I see are mostly smoke and fire or a smoky effect I dont want. I want to simulate a steam or C02 blast

    Thank you in advance

    Hi Sonny,

    I think what you want is a straight-line vapor trail, not the kind of smoke you get. Below, I’ve included a video link demonstrating how to control the smoke movement using a Pyro Emitter tag. You could achieve the same effect by changing some settings, or perhaps it would be easier for you to use an Emitter with a suitable material. I think this option is better, and I’ve included a screen recording below showing how it works. I hope this is helpful.
