Fight cloud

[TheSpleen]

In the video I am doing I need a classic cartoon fight cloud.

Everyone has seen one and I am hoping it has been done before here successfully.

If not I will just have to make a step by step fight, but the genre of how my toon looks,

really calls for the fight cloud.

Any help?

make a small cartoon drawing of a cloudlet and use that as a spriticle.

 

Make a particle emitter spew them out and have them grow so they just about cover the flailing arms and then fade out.

Oooook. Lol

Anywhere I can find a tut on something close to this?

The fire tut in TAoA:M shows the essentials of varying particle properties over their lifetime.

 

you'd use sprite paritcles instead of streak particles.

 

creating the cloudlet would be a photoshop job. It will need an alpha channel to hide the square edges.

ok on the alpha channel thing, is that a shade of gray?

alpha channels are easy to do, but really hard to explain. I'll let these guys try:
