Click to view attachment thanks Martin, i get so evolved in the animation, it's good to take a break and see all the great work, that all you other artist and animators have done. I am looking for a way to put low misty fog in the next scene, because the elves are going into the swampy part of Dreadwood's forest. I've been playing around with smoke, but I wonder if their is a better way. thanks for any help. Katt

Try a Volumetric Effect. Use a Rectangular shape (Sun), and pull the corners of the bounding volume where you want the low-lying mist to be.

Mark (mtpeak2) Skodacek did some GREAT eerie mist for Yoop's Castle in TWO - ask him.

Katt, you might want to run a blog in the "Special Topics" area here on the forum. I'm sure other people would like to follow your movie-making experience.

Thank you Martin, i'll give that a try, and i'll check with Mark Skodacek

Katt, can you post a screen shot of the set you need the misty fog?

Mark is this what you had in mind with the screen shot, i wanted smokie mist , it put the force on 80 rate of emission 500 and thickness18, haha not working, any suggestions thanks katt

I'll see if I can come up with something for you.

Ok, I spent some time messing with a sprite material and this is what I have so far. Mind you, this is a 1 pass render. Let me know if this is the look you want.

I like it a lot!, share the setting / setup? What turbulence did you use?

hum..it can't get it to open, couse i've tried to upload a clip to youtube and could not do it "something to do with high speed internet " i still have dial up here in the Maine woods", any chance a screen shot. i.m sure its great, do you have skpe, zip it send it thanks katt

I'll post a render shortly.

Yes I have skype, (mtpeak2).

[EDIT] Here's the render.

that is awesome, you used sprites, how did you do it , so cool mine katttt4384

Mike, I use the smoke material from the AM cd. The settings I used probably wouldn't mean much, most of them depend on scale of the model. The main thing is to lower the initial velocity, gravity and spin to minimize the sprite movement.

Here's a scene I help Katt with the mist.
