Autodesk has released five free 3D effects templates created by Smoke master Brian Mulligan in Autodesk Smoke 2013 Extension 1 on AREA.
Each template comes as a ready-to-use Smoke archive that is compatible with Smoke 2013 Extension 1 and provides a great introduction to working with animated 3D elements, textures, reflections and 3D lighting to create motion graphics in Smoke.
