I've attached some code which shows you how to make a trail of smoke effect. Tell me what you think.

If you notice looking very closely you can see black edges in the smoke. If you call disable object zwrite on the smoke objects they will go away.

It may be the difference in video cards or something. The left is your code as is and the right is with the disable object zwrite.

You could stop being lazy and just click to download his zip file, a whole whopping 38kb. By posting code seperately and then an image, you are in fact now downloading more content whenever you view this page, thus using up more bandwidth than if you had simply clicked the compressed file.
