Particles Not Emitting Smoke I am using 2.83a and I am trying to create smoke from a chimney stack of a steam locomotive.

The plan is/was to animate the domain along with the ground surroundings - long story.

I have been tearing my hair out trying to find the right settings for the smoke emitter and domain - I would have ideally liked a small amount of fire and a generous amount of smoke, but I cannot seem to prevent the emitter from spewing it in all directions, any setting less than 1.0 from the surface of the emitter results in no smoke.

A more satisfactory way to animate the smoke is to use the emitter to emit particles. I've successfully managed that in the past but I am not sure what I am doing wrong now.

The Emitter is set to emit particles and die out shortly afterwards - it isn't affected by the domain so I have a wind force field. If the particles emit smoke, it will look spot on.



The domain is set up correctly so far as I can see, buoyancy density is set to -1 so the smoke sinks, heat to 1.5 and vorticity 0.

I've turned off noise for now, turning it on and off made no difference.

What am I missing?
There's something with the new version of Blender that requires you to Bake Data in the Smoke domain to start producing smoke.

Playing with the fuel value, might help to choose how much fire you want.
