carl123 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 One way. There are lots of free Photoshop smoke brushes (abr format) that will load into APhoto All depends on what sort of smoke effect you are after Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

enginestar Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks for the reply. I need to make the exact smoke you see here: Any ideas the best brush to use? ALSO... is it a 5 minute job? Or needs more time? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attached is a 5 min job using a soft (normal) brush and some blurring It all depends on how realistic you need it to look as to how long you spend on it smoke.afphoto Cupara, enginestar and firstdefence 3 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

firstdefence Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 You can also use the Blur tool and the Smudge tool to get whips smoke trails.

enginestar Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Thanks for the replies guys. @carl123 That looks awesome what you did. I want similar, but the smoke needs to be wider a little. + I would like a few trails. What plugin did you use? Any recommendations where I should get smoke plugins? I searched and there seems to be too many available. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
