Nice image, I was wondering how you put the animation together. Specifically the smoke trail. Could you have used a rotating light object linked to the back of the missle instead using the aurora filter. I guess that wouldn't have the repetiton of smoke pouring from the fuselage... Was the missle set to flow force in a specific gravitational direction? I have 1 more question involving a technique I weas considering using to make flownf water w/metaballs. I was thinking of creating morphing metaball that flows down a riverbed encompassing the width. By repeating the sequence and overlapping the paths of the recurring metaballs I was thiking you might be able to create a riverbed. Can you please tell me how to overlap the sequence as in the smoketrail used here? Thanks.

Must've slipped my mind...but it's the thought that counts...
