A simple effect I whipped up in a few hours. This could be used for cigars, cowboy guns, magical effects, etc.

The one on the left is some initial testing. I’m trying to do a cigar smoke effect on the right.
Current Limitations:
- if the smoke is on something that’s moving, it will move accordingly, though its not very realistic
- wisping is simple cosine movement, so its not very realistic
- the smoke is flat, so if its looked from the top, the effect is ruined

Cool effect! You should put up a picture of a cigar with smoke coming off of it =D!
Updated with a cigar 3d model. You can move the cigar left or right with the directional keys.
That’s actually really cool dude.
I added a sphere to test for transparency issues. Still struggling to make it look believable.

i like it man. Umm May you describe it how to make this effect? Especially , i mention the materials of the cigar…
A tiled smoke texture is moved upwards continually, while the sides of the mesh are moved by cosine.
Updated: You can move the cigar and the smoke moves accordingly, though not really realistic enough.
try to use another particle emitter. 
Oh wow, I didn’t know I was using a particle emitter! Maybe I have an alternate personality that is doing things without me knowing!
