SMOKE AFTERBURN

[rajuez]

Hi,

I need to create a smoke effect. Something like burning incense inside a box with holes. The effect of the smoke escaping through the holes is what i am looking at. How is this possible realistically and IF POSSIBLE NOT NECESSARY with low rendering times. What plugins can i use to achieve this effect as realistic as i can ?

All help appreciated,

Thank you in advance.

Phoenix FD with V-ray would be a good choice:

It can also render with scanline but vray looks much better.

In chase you don't allready have Vray Fume FX might be the better choise becaus it works with mental ray.
