	Re: Cigarette smoke shaped like a love heart by david bogie on Nov 25, 2008 at 6:36:28 pm Foam can be controlled to conform to a layer's alpha information. Foam can also be manipulated to create smokish particles. Just takes some experimentation. the alpha for the heart shape should be a grayscale image with no sharp delineation between the black and white portions or particle will jump the fence. Foam is way cooler than ManUnited. bogiesan This is my standard sigfile so do not take it personally: "For crying out loud, read the freakin' manual."

Any 3D software's fluid dynamics should do it. Sorry, I know you're posting in aftereffects and want to know it in aftereffects, but I just couldn't help it... *slaps own hand...
