Still trying to get the smoke and explosions. I would appreciate if someone would post good volume smoke settings for my foreground smoke column.

This was the very simple one I used for the background smoke im my image "the clearance". Used it on rocks

I like tweaking the "pollution" preset in the volume tab. The black smoke one with the fuzziness increased also works well.

Thanks chohole and madmax br5!

Are you using metaballs for the smoke? If so remember that metaballs don't work well with volumetric materials.

Yes, vasquez I am. Thank you for that tidbit of info. I was unaware of that.

This is the smoke from my siege image. Used it in cylinders (with various darker and lighter versions of the same material).

I just use regular spheres and let them run into each other. Metaballs do weird with textures.
