Wispy smoke through a thin tube - cigarrette smoke as an example.

Hi. I’ve had limited success with smoke following a helix. The look just wasn’t correct and the smoke was too blobby/chunky. So I tried using the cigarrette smoke setup and path follow but the partcles do not follow the way the smoke did. Any ideas how to do this?

Hey,

If you use a Cigarette smoke preset together with the Follow Path force make sure that the force is affecting the Temperature channel (it should be by default).
Here is a sample file how this works - it’s for Max 2016 - if you need an older version let me know.

Thanks for responding so quickly. I’ll try that :slight_smile:
