I like some plumes of flame - like a refinery burning off waste materials - explosions of flame that lights the night sky - bit like at the beginning of the movie BladeRunner - no idea where to start. Any ideas?

I must admit particles have always scared the proverbial out of me - they are rocket science at my skill level - but guess it is time I tried again - thanks

Go visit the Particle Laboratory in world, lots of good information there about how to use particles.

Milambus is correct.
Search on, and then visit the Particle Lab--Jopsy Pendragon's wonderful contribution to SL. :)

Yep I've been to the particle lab and can get a few simple things working - still a bit like rocket science to me though - I will percervere in that directiojn but also got an Ideal using textures and animated GIF.

Thanks
