Ok, I need some help here from those of you who have a bit more experience. What I'm trying to do is take one of the flame materials and animate it on a sphere so that it dies out and leaves nothing but smoke behind. Sounds simple enough, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. The manual, unfortunately, isn't much help to me on this as I'm not sure what type of preset to use, which axis to animate, etc. Also not sure how to change from one material (fire) to another (smoke) without just rendering each frame by hand and combining them in an outside program. Help?? Kate the Konfused
