Here we go guys, i'm on holiday at the moment but you have to be faithful to Bryce no matter what hahah (actually its a rainy day); this is the first image that came to mind when i read the challenge thread. i hope its suitable. again i have gone for a Bryce render. to show what our little programme can do. and as i have been having some success with clouds and mist lately, and have found ways to keep volumetric render times low. so i went for it - and heres a few behind the scenes shots.

then textured and added to a ground plain, with an edge of Bryce, out of the box shrubbery

rinsed and repeated, then built a crop duster plane (nothing specific just built from imagination) placed it and then added the smoke trail spheres

So, rj, just what is the secret to reasonable volumetric rendering times then...care to share?.. ...

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again

so that's how you do a smoke trail. Been trying to get one done for my last render (Bryce part's finished...at least)...I'll keep this in mind for next time.
