True enough, I did kind of weight it a bit heavily in the smoke monster direction, but the're so fun ... might tighten up the edit a bit latter on, but for now I think I'll leave it. I'm looking forward to adding in some cool shots from Black Swan on down the line.

The smoke was done as a bone driven particle system in Maya, not sure 100% on the specifics, all I know was it was apparently quite a pain to balance the movement of the body vs the internal movement & feel of the roiling smoke. All credit to the great 3d artists that rotated though working on getting me some great elements to work with.

The information that was originally here, I have moved to the thread it was intended for, as it was slightly confusing as to what I was referring to in my long winded write-up without the context of the original post.

Sorry, long week, didn't think when I hit post the first time.
