Smoke question

I have a question, I need a smoke simulation interacting with a person who runs past it, so that the smoke disperses and moves when the person passes by. It’s been a while since I last worked with particles in Flame, is this possible? Or would it be better to do it in Houdini? Thanks to everyone."

Houdini if you’re familiar with it. Or XParticles in 3DSMax or JangaFX Embergen.

I think if you found a Mixamo model iof someone running and matched it as close as possiple to you live actuon then took that into embergen youd be pretty pleased with the results as it probably would be quite forgiving. There’ s brilliant presets and its not to stressful to pick up. Its also very reasonable on the cost front.

EmberGen is awesome!!

But sadly is not available on mac.

Not yet but they do threaten! Although thats been a few years now.

Particles in Flame is like changing the spark plugs through the tailpipe.
