Hello, you can find my last tutorial "twirl of smoke" made with Blender and Soft-bodys. The blenderclan.org made the translate in English and there it is at your disposal.
Here's a sample of the final result:

Great effect!!!
The twirl is realistic in the beginning but later on it looks like it's just moving around a bit, which twirling smoke should not unless something plays with the air.
Whoaaa… this is really cool!
Nice tutorial, but I think there is one error in the material settings:
"decrease the Gloss to 0 in order to skip some useless computation"
I'm using 245.15 and the smaller the gloss the slower it gets.
Took me a while until I realized that was a cigarette butt and not some sort of snail. :)
I thought the smoke was rising out of an elf hat.
BTW- Does Blender particles have self-shadowing yet?
softbodies for smoke cool~
i hope some devoplorers are watching this and thinking of some python code for some wizards lol
blender particles can self-shadow if you use a mesh as the visualization, with trashadow on.
Suspended by moderators?
I don't speak French but guess it says there that the file was removed. I cannot download that tutorial.
Same here. Mirror please? :)
Link is dead! Did anyone download before the link went dead and can mirror please?
I really like the video and recognized the cigarette butt right away. It could work in lots of situations like a hot beverage as well. Unfortunately, I am too late and it is off line for the tutorial. I hope it returns, as it seems like a great technique. Thanks for the post.

its wonderful & great
thanks
Wow. Not bad at all. That would be perfectly convincing withing a more complex scene (which I think is a definition of 'correct' in CG).
realy awesome
Hmm…. Interesting.
pretty nice. that may be useful. thanks. God bless
btw. there's a LOT of interesting stuff on that site. Too bad it's all in French, which is a language i don't master. :(
Not the best swirling smoke that I've ever seen, but pretty good.

Could you post a blend please ? For some reason I can't reproduce the effect from the tutorial.
TonyB: I'm with you on this one. I followed this tutorial step-by-step and I am still getting this problem:
– The pink colour of the material is still showing in the renders and so are the shadows.
I am trying different options to not show the colour, etc. but have had no luck yet.
If anyone has an idea on this solution, could you please post it?
Thank you.
ah yes, sorry
for rendering ray of the shadow requires:
Enable material in the florl> trace shadow.
and of course> activate Ray panel render.
I post a blend within 2 days ahead (I'm busy with my music).

the tutorial is just the method. the blend is a little more complete.
Merci monsieur. tres bon technique. (at least I hope that's French!).
