  • I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I'm still getting "geometry" on the clouds, not a fuzzy teapot... I'm following all the steps in the first part of the tut but it doesn't seem to work. Any suggestions?

  • @Traiano: Collapse means right-click the top item in the modifier stack and click "collapse to". And no, you don't have to enter the noise settings again, just re-activate the map, after you turned it off in step 3.12

  • 3.1 its not clear.. wot does colapse mean? i did it and my max gives me error 3.13 Wot about the Noise settings we did before in 5.5? do i have to setup the noise like we did there again?

  • Collapsing the tunnel: In step 3.1, RIGHT-click on the top modifier on the tunnel ("Push"), and choose "Collapse to". Then you collapse the modifier stack. Thanks for trying out the tut!

  • Thanks a lot, really...this tut is probably one of it´s kind on the net...I suspect that also other atmospherics can be "faked"(if we consider plugs like Afterburn as somekind of original/traditional way)..f.ex. volcano smoke... Once more..really thanks!!!
