Smoke - Train
how do I add smoke to my train - I want the smoke to blow upwards when the train is stationary, and for it to blow backwards as the train moves.
I would also like to add steam coming out of the pistons and coliding with the ground and then bounces off - just like a train would when it starts the engine

HARDish:
- 2d fluids grouped with the piston/smokestack geometry.
EASY:
- sprites/SWparticles grouped to the geometry.
- Export camera data from Maya into After Effects
and animate smoke footage there to your parts.

you'll be able to get good results and it will render a HECK of a lot quicker! check out my chunky smoke shader in the downloads area Alan
