HI Actually , I am imagining a cigarette smoke .Maybe a fire smoke is similar. I am thinking that we could use a point generator to randomly generate points on the scene in addition to limiting the position of the points in a specific area (the area surrounding the source of the smoke).
We have to control the density of the points ( like real smoke varies in density and color;sometimes it is gray and thick, sometimes its lighter and more dispersed). We can create many points in area X at some point of time T , then create a few points at the same area X at some point of time P. Here , arouse another problem ,that is how will the points move in the next frame. Maybe somebody else will help.

The only solution I have uses images but these objects are flat (or show a user only its front) when the camera position is moved. I think for a 3D-solution an algorithm is needed which generates such an object...
