Hi all
Im asking this here as I simply dont know how to do it but the theory should be sound.
In the mojo forums we were looking at creating a hurricane / whirlwind with a volumetric material. The issue we faced is that whilst you could do it...it was extremely memory intensive & controlling the placement was a little harder than required.....so I turned my attention to Vue.

The only way I can see to create a Hurricane is to use a metacloud or several metaclouds for the base /column / cloudscape in the sky. But what I cant seem to fathom is how you can drive the material to be whipped up as if swirling & also manage the density based upon altitude.

So does anyone have any ideas on how this could be done. Any WIPs welcomed with the results or links to where the topic may already have been covered :) Many thanks in advance.

Regards
Woz
