The next project I will be working on will have 3D modeled inhalers and i will need to show animated smoke going from one particular place to another.
I did my research for CG smoke plugins for 3DS Max and the best ones i came up with were-
1. Real Flow (maybe bit too expensive and not a plugin I know)
2. FUMEFX or AFTERBURN
3. Phoenix FD (Chaosgroup)
For the job im doing, which of these would probably be best suited? If there are any other good options, I would really appropriate any input on this.
I can only afford one so have it get it right.
