  • First, you need some smoke for the exhaust, i`ll use: e_19_smolder1.w3d

  • Now you should open your Vehicle in RenX, I`ll use a Westwood made one for this tutorial:

  • I`ll just make the exhaust fumes for one of the exhausts but it will work the same for the second one.

    create a box 1x1x1 at the place where the exhaust later should apear

    Deactivate the [ ] Export Geometry

  • Clone this box, and name it like the emitter you want to attatch.

    Deactivate the [x]Export Transform and Activate the (*)Aggregate on the W3D Tools

  • Next step is link the emitterbox to the exhausbox, just use the Link tool, Drag and drop from the emitterbox to the exhaustbox and you are done.

  • Repeat this for the second exhaust:

  • Now export your model, and put the model and the emitterfile into the same directory to test your work:

  • You can rotate the emitter by rotating the exhaustbox.
