great job. for the longest time I've been meaning to play around with this subject matter in much the same way. I've always been fascinated by tornadoes.

how did you .i worked realy hard to creat a sutupid tornado with particles!!

wheni saw yours i sow truth of mine to...lol

[loooo88ooool]

awesome 

[notthere83]

how did you get that irregular surface and wispy look? all i get is a cloud like mass and when crank up turbulence, noise or something, it completely destroys the shape. was it just a matter of increasing the resolution to allow for these smaller things to appear? or a trick regarding texturing/shading?

@philipZhang86 ah,.. makes sense... thanks a lot! will try to do one of these sometime soon :)

[philipZhang86]

@notthere83 vortex field is a field,it can affect a particle systerm,but you won't know the result 100%.when i am doing a tornado effect,i hope i can control the tornado shape,more than that,i hope i can animate it,you can do this by using goal.and then the shape is under 100% control.

@philipZhang86 ah, i see! thanks!

though... why would you do it like that instead of just slapping a vortex field onto the particles? faster workflow in your opinion, more control, ...?
