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

 

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

 

3. 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 for the box

 

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

 

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

 

5. 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.

 

6. Repeat this for the second exhaust:

 

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

 

8. You can rotate the emitter by rotating the exhaustbox.

Have Fun!
