thanks,
thats why i used the panorama prop, so angles could be drastically changed.
sure i could map the fire to a dome in max.
but i'm trying to do things in iclone alone as much as possible lately.

linking a couple of animated point lights inside the engines helps sell it too. am currently making heat distortion for this as well.

you can stretch and squeeze the prop and collect clip to simulate fuel increase or decrease

this can work with a still png as well if you animate rotation .

i have quite a few "tricks up my sleeve" and will be opening a iclone tutorial site after xmas
mainly focusing on special effects-cinematography and sound design:)

.

That will be great.

I also want your talent exploring the Toon Shader in ICLONE for people like us who take a little extra interest in the Flat Toon Shaded animations.

To begin with you may render few of your existing examples in Toon Shade and see if you are feeling any limitations while creating equally effective scenes and we would love to know how you overcome that !

THX MAXAE!!!!!!!!
That sounds very good, I'm looking forward to see your tutorials:w00t:
