Hello respected specialists,
I’m at the beginning of a project which goal is to show somewhat realistically a missile launch (flames, exhaust trail) from a boat (waves, sea atmosphere…).
Just thinking about rendering the flames and smoke with manta flow simulation with the ocean moving around ( and taking the reflections) makes my eyes heavy and my heart rate skyrockets (in a negative sense, it’s different from falling in love). I have little experience with this work flow and it seems that it takes ages (because of the frequent baking in the middle) to set up a good scene and rendering is very long…
I tried doing the smoke effect in after effects but this way I say goodbye to the missile exhaust reflection in the ocean which is too sad.
Any ideas /suggestions are very appreciated.
Thanks
