Moho Forum

I am trying to use the particle effect generator to make smoke coming from a cigarette. But I am not sure how to make the smoke slowly drift away from the cigarette. It seems to sort of shoot off really fast as if there is a strong wind. Which settings should I change to slow it down? Imagine a cigarette on a table, and the smoke is slowly drifting off, that's the effect I am looking for. But right now it looks like its smoke through a wind tunnel lol.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You could try animating the particle layer itself and forget the velocity.
I'll see If I can demonstrate with a file.

try this -- it leaves a lot to be desired but hopefully will give you enough of an idea to get started.

Nice results, Chucky!

Thanks Wes
that smoke path is animatable Daners, so you can make it go where you like.
It would make for good schools of fish , flocks of birds or swarm of bees.
Perhaps even better combined with mesh warp, but I had enough for now.

yeah - neat results Chucky! I like the path approach.

Cheers Paul.
Daners, did you get the file?

Yes, thanks for the assistance all!
