fluid letters

Hi all,
I am currently trying to get some smoke in a 2d fluid container to form some letters

My first thought was to have a custom shaped radial field or something similar that would drag in the smoke and hold it form the letters.

Doesn't seem to be working, if anyone could recommend a way to get this effect that would be ace

Thanks

I have just tried some particles with a newton field that seems to have the effect that I want. Is there a way to get the newton field to work on a 2d fluid.

I basically want some particles to stick and form the letters so once the sim has run tehre will be the letters left.

I also thought of emitting a fluid inside of each letter and faking it but would be nice if I could achieve the effect for real

Thanks

Hello,

maybe you can use this, you need to be a "bronze" member (free) though:

this does almost. It just looks obviously reversed as the way the smoke bellows is wrong. I was hoping to be able to say at fram 150 the state of the smoke would be x, then the smoke flows towards it.

Thanks for the help though
