    Hello, I'm trying to achieve a swirling mist effect that sort of looks like that stringy cigaret smoke, but I can't figure out how it's done.

    Please check out the video below at 20 seconds.


    Are there any ideas on how this effect is done? Any assets or trickery to get something looking this way? Thanks!

    Edit: Replaced the video with a MUCH better one. Very easy to see it now.

    Just particles with a billboard light area.

    You sure? They seem to be swirling programmatically, rather than just be animated particles.

    Edit: I updated the video so you can see the swirling lines more clearly now. You can see there's much more to it than just a regular particle system.

    Maybe you achieve this with an animated texture plus a particle system. Watch this video :)
