Hey Rich_Art in your opinion how would you go about animating flame/smoke in c4d

Flames and smoke can be done with a plugin but it is not a cheap one. (Dpit EFFEX) although you can do a lot with lights as well.
An other idea is sprites. Pavel Zoch (PZDM) once made a nice tutorial. Can't remember where he posted this. I'll ask him.

Peace,
Rich_Art. ;-)

ok thanks for that

Might play around with visible volumetric light etc

Cheers ;-)

One word of caution - things can go very bad, very quickly if you choose to build one these launchers inside your house instead of out. ;-)

Scary animation, can't wait to see your further improvements!
