yeh .. i just added fire to the object and messed with the settings and the frames at which they start .. is it difficult to do it with emitters and stuff? i made like, a box and smoke rises to the top of the box and then stops pretty much ... can smoke be used same way as the fire? choose a square make it 'invisable' , add smoke to the square and then move the square where ever you want the smoke to go? i'll try it in a bit
