Wispy/thin smoke
Hi all,
I’ve been trying to create some thin/wispy smoke almost all day but come up short all the time. I’m fairly new to using AE i might add. I have looked at a large array of smoke tutorials but I just can’t seem to get my desired effect.
What I’m looking for is thin (not puffy smoke like sphere/cloudlet particles) that kinda flows at the lower half of the video, maybe at 1/4 of the screen at the bottom.
The closest I have got is using Particular with a sprite and some Directional Blur. It’s kinda okay but it gets stiff even after playing around with Turbulent Field in Particular and as well as Turbulent Displace.
Sprite used https://nobacks.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/Smoke-15.pngThe reason I’m not using any stock footage is because this is just one of a pitch videos for a introduction to an upcoming online event and the duration is ~1min.

Have you tried playing with fractal noise…perhaps something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yaH_Z_fc4xs

Thanks for your quick reply Johnny.
I was actually thinking what I wanted was more fog so I searched around for a bit and landed on a tutorial with somewhat what I wanted and happen to be just your tip, Fractal Noise.This was the result of just a rough draft. It’s a lot better then anything I’ve came up with using Particular. With some tweaking I bet it could be quite nice.
Now I’m just presented with the problem of getting the smoke to appear without an emitter. But I guess I could change my initial idea from it coming from the side to just fade in the whole scene from black instead.
