Rendering smoke effect

[wastzzz]

Hi, just an information,
is there a way to create and render a smoke effect using Octane and 3ds particle system or this feature is still missing? I've been using the particle flow but it only seems to render mesh-type particles.
Thanks,
Max.

i think mesh only Would be nice to see cloud/smoke/fire system I imaging with octane smoke and fire would look so cool

Hi, i'm trying to achieve this effect too, but Octane doesn't support particle age map and mblur particle map ... i have to explore more. For now resuslts are not convincing. When i reach a good result i will it.

this is the best i could do

Just tried your file, so basically you applied a falloff map to the opacity channel.
Well I guess this is the best we can do at the moment, we just have to wait for more particle rendering features.
Thank you,
Max.

have you tried using crate by exocortex, caching the particle simulation as an alembic, and then importing that alembic file into octane standalone? i don't know if octane alembic can read a point cloud cache but i'm going to try this tomorrow
