So let´s have a smoke trail on let´s say an airplane or a car jumping up in air and spinning with fire trails.

I thought it was enough to parent the fluid to the object through the nodes, but it appearently doesn´t inherit motion velocity or such trails.

Could someone give me a hint on how to activate that or what Im missing?
Or maybe It´s wiser to have a large fluid container?

Hello Michael,

It would be better to post your hipnc file up so people can help you with it.
Did you parent your fluid through DOPS? Which nodes did you parent it with?

Ahh…I posted this question 2010 .so that is 3 years ago, I currently do not
evaluate houdini anymore, I am using Lightwave and turbulenceFD for fluids.
If time permits I might check back on to houdini apprentice some day.

Right now I don´t have it installed and can hardly remember what the query was about.
