That looks so cool i like the spheres at the end. What is the difference in your technique?

I use non-compression for the antialiasing, and to make the spheres, I use the Blue channel and draw circles blurred from white to black. So the dissolve start from the white values and reach the black (white is my dissolve in the blue channel / black is the opposite) and that create a fake movement.

edit : you must combine this with the size over lifetime in the particle system

that’s cool, thanks for the share :slight_smile: so you prob also have a texture in an other channel with more defined details for the shading (don’t have to show it)?

Yep

Red channel = Main Texture
Green = Fire Texture (just invert the red texture and use photoshop to illum the white parts (for me white is Fire)
Blue = Dissolve Texture (White dissolve - Black no-dissolve).

For the main Texture i use 3DS max then i capture the cloud and retake on photoshop with levels and pencil.
But remember : Non-compression is the key of this clean shapes
