Trouble with Quick Smoke Locomotive

Hello. My name is Felix, and I am the creator of the Sue and Freddie animation. I am getting used to Blender 2.91.0 until I came upon several exhausting trials with the Quick Smoke effect while animating part of a train locomotive for a new animation currently in the works.

The video in question was rendered in Cycles, which is a tracking shot zeroing in on the locomotive’s funnel.

The former video on the funnel would not be the only scene to animate with smoke as there will be many more to come. There is also the whistle, which we will cover for a later time.

No mystery should remain unresolved, so can anyone help me out with this? Thank you and I very much appreciate it.

It’s very difficult to provide support for a Blender version that’s a decade out of date. Try a current version and see if that fixes it

I’ll see if I can try that one though. In 2.91.0’s case, it was released on November 25th, 2020, so it wouldn’t have been likely a decade old. Maybe four years or so.

If it’s OK with you, can I DM you to let you know if I have any further questions?
