ROCKETS RED GLARE

Does anyone have a good source it how to make a Great Missile /Rocket exhaust with the particle admitted. I want to show an old Vietnam era SA2 Missile launch, It is very fats and energetic. I am pretty sure the Magic will be in the SHADER. Like Transparent to Yellow hot to red to Grey smoke

Hey there,

I found this http://www.dbdaishu.com/home/index.php/3d-maya-animation done in Maya

and maybe that http://www.tkshare.com/Digital-Arts-Guild---Maya-Fluids---Rocket-with-Aaron-F--Ross.html

http://www.cgrats.com/engine-exhaust-afterburner-tutorial.html done in 3d max.

Beside that I would say shader, clouds like you said.

Here is a quick test I did following Mark Bremmers tutorial.... Particle Smoke Trail.

One thing I forgot to ask,

What kind of rocket we are talking about?

You have rocket (missile), Solid rocket booster (like the old shuttle)

Depending on the one you do, I would use a lot of reference because of the fuel use and the nozzle exhaust differ from type to type.

A lot create very big clouds. (like this http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=shuttle+take+off&FORM=HDRSC2 )

Just my 2 cents.

Nice test Varsel

Here is another quick test I did, following the tutorial.

What I did differente here is that I put a Color Gradient with the shader set to particle shader. (Age)
The color in the Color gradient starts with white, and at 0,06 to yellow and then at 0,1 to black.....

Varsel - looks great!

Varsel, that looks very nice. It's very similar to the Age of Armour freebie that rk66 linked to.
