Maya 2013 Smoke Trail or Ink in Water Type Fluid Effects Tutorial by Stuart Christensen

3D fluid effects will help you achieve a wide variety of effects and perhaps the most common is a basic smoke trail, but with a few variations can become something entirely different. Imagination is the key and this tutorial by Stuart Christensen covers some basic parameters of dialing in the settings and helps explain some of the controls that will broaden your "smoking" skills. Enjoy! Warning: This is habit forming in a good way!
