Cigar Smoke

Maya 2020 fundamentals - modelling the real world

Get halfway through a model and find it's an unworkable mess? Can't add edge loops where you need them? Can't subdivide a mesh properly? If any of this sounds familiar check this course out.

I'm trying to make a character smoke a cigar, and I have no idea how to create the smoke. Any ideas?

Use a 2D fluid container or particles if you know how to handle them.
Good luck

Have a look in the visor, theres an example of cigarette smoke in there, just reverse engineer it

I couldn't find any visor in paint effects shelf or the paint effects menu ...
EDIT: Never mind, I looked through Maya help and found it under dynamics > fluid effects > get fluid examples.

I copied the container from 'cigarette' and played with the attributes...
