Looking for smoke effects
Recently, I've managed to achieve awesome results with m!m particle script and particles, including amazing, white smoke trails for missiles, I dare to say that they're not far from being on par with sims like FreeFalcon. Unfortunately, I've run into problems with my smoke particles. I borrowed white smoke anim (the one for missiles) from FoTG for testing purposes, but obviously I can't use it in any release. The black smoke comes from BTRL, but has another problem: 94 frames at 256x256 resolution. I'm afraid that this might be too much of a performance hog. FoTG effect is has 24 frames at the same resolution, and keep in mind that a lot of these particles are needed. So, I'm looking for two effects of similar lenght, resolution and framerate to FoTG smoke effect (30 FPS by default, meaning duration of 0.8, which is perfect for damage trails).
