Rocket take off - test 1

First try to create a rocket take off with smoke.



Actually, I used a cone emitting particules and just insert a keyframe changing the size of the smoke flow (from 0.1, could not be 0, to 8)

Main problem is that the smoke appears with bubbles of smoke and not fluently from the rocket.

Any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks in advance.

I just finished the 3D model of the rocket from "Tintin on the moon".



This is quite simple but it took me some time anyway.

You can use it freely.

Does anyone know if it is possible to do it with particles system?


Another table with a clothtable rendered in Blender - softbody with voronoi texture effect

Just a simple softbody effect with a clothtable. The texture is a voronoi with "position, outline and intensity" selected in the "coloring" parameter. Note that another cloud texture with normal is applied so that the clothtable is not smooth.
