          Yeah thanks, that's why I learned, I wanted to do better scenes with more FVX. Here is a better render.

              The Morpheus was modeled in Sketchup and the render and missile effects were done in lightwave

                Be sure to put a decay on the smoke effects. So the further the missile goes, the more the smoke disappears.

                  I was having trouble with that, I can make it disappear with a set number of frames that have past, but it stays solid and doesn't diffuse. It's just solid smoke and then nothing.

                    correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think missiles usually go in such a straight line... Anyway, looks real nice

                      Most missile do go in such a straight line, especially if they were in space.

                      There are missiles like TOW missiles and such that spin like crazy as they travel, but most larger missiles fly nice and even. When we see them launching on Earth they often have curving flight paths just because of gravity mostly. We arch them to hit the surface some place else, or to hit a target that it has to track. It's kind of like throwing something, you aim higher or lower than what you're trying to hit.

                      But in space, if both ships were stationary or they were able to track the target due to a constant speed and direction, the most practical way to launch the missiles would be on a straight intercept path. Unless you were trying to evade obstacles or countermeasures.

                            Maybe it isn't the TOW that does what I thought though.

                            There is some small missile that goes absolutely crazy yet always ends up exactly on target. It spirals a good 10 feet side to side as it travels.

                            It's used by the US military.

                            The point is it's a rarity. Most just go straight or have a slight curve.
