Clouds Paint FX FAQ for Maya

Clouds:

•	Is there a tornado for Paint Effects? (updated: 03/13/05)
•	Is there any attribute besides draw order that affects strokes that are in the back to be rendered on top of the strokes which are in the front? I have two surfaces, one behind another (from camera's view). I paint on both the surfaces with a few strokes. The strokes that are on the back surface get rendered on top of the strokes of the front surface. (updated: 03/13/05)
•	I am building a dust cloud using paint effects by blending jetTrail1 with waterFall1. I am getting weird artifacts where they overlap. (updated: 03/13/05)
•	Can I animate the cloud along its path without tubes (ex. jetTrail?) (updated: 03/13/05)
•	How is it possible to create turbulence within clouds created with PaintFX? Behaviors cannot be activated without attaching tubes to clouds. I have also tried animating the seed value, but it doesn't seem to do anything. (updated: 03/13/05)
•	We have painted a nice layer of clouds, however when we fly through them they clip out before they hit camera. (updated: 03/13/05)
•	I'm trying to create a cloud type volume, (a tunnel), that I can fly into, and I want the clouds to appear like they are flowing away from the camera, but I can't seem to control the speed or the direction that the clouds are moving. (updated: 03/13/05)
•	As paint effects uses turbulent flow fields, can we immediately use it for flowing water and rolling cloud effects work on our films ? (updated: 03/13/05)
