Abstract:
Several scenes in the film Cursed called for wispy smoke to interact closely with characters. Simple particle systems failed to capture the characteristic motion of wispy smoke, while existing smoke simulators generally produced smoke of a diffuse nature, more appropriate for explosions or large flames than cigarette or incense smoke. This sketch describes our implementation of a flexible, artist-friendly smoke simulator capable of producing realistic wispy smoke for a production environment.
