Hello, all!

I am designing a 3d space game and need some spaceship exhaust. I've already looked here for an example but have not found anything. I kind of want it to look like the exhaust in EVE Online (I don't need the camera glare effect) or Galaxy on Fire 2.

Any ideas?? Posted Image

Uh, ok, I'm kind of a noob when it comes to particle systems. Do they still work in 3D?

This topic should prove useful to you. Notice how the exhaust is a short, pulsing beam.

EDIT: Forgot a comma.

I know this has been forever but I ran into needing it again.

I'm sorry, but it didn't. There was no editable to show me and he did not discuss the exhaust of the spaceship.

You just need to create a short "laser" behind the ship with a different texture. That's all you need to do. I'm spoon-feeding you the solution here. Don't ask me to chew for you.
