Hi Friends,

I am fairly new to Vue and using Vue 7.2,I am trying to create exhaust from a jet engine nozzle i.e colorless hot air that comes from the engine,I tried liquids but missing some basic stuff which is not giving me the desired result,I am not sure if Vue has a particle system like 3ds max.I searched for tutorials but didn find any,I hope some of you guys will be able to help me on this or may already have a tutorial.Please let me know.

Thanks in advance.

I just made a few tests to try and create the effect. I've come up with two methods, there are probably more :)
  1. Make a flat plane to be the exaust object and use a mixed material, 100 pct. transparent with very subtle refraction values (1.0001 and 0.9999), no shadows, hightlights etc. and a marble-type distribution.
  2. A cone or cylinder with mixed materials, again 100 pct. transparent - material 1 with very little blurred transparency, material 2 with somewhat more blur. Blurred transparencies look a bit like frosted glass, but could be good enough.

For method 1, a cone etc. will most likely create visible edges due to the refraction.

It may be possible to create the effect with layered materials - those are considered more fancy, but also more difficult to control :)

The screendump shows three flat planes with subtle refraction values - note how the refraction is somewhat multiplied where the planes overlap.
