Asset: Steam Elements (Patreon)

Alright here we go! Excited to be putting these out! I tried to get good ones for a variety of situations. I include the words "Diagonal" and "Angle", but honestly you can obviously rotate them any which way.
Right click, "save as":
Steam Elements
All of them loop, and feather off (fairly naturally) towards the edges, which make them pretty useful for environment type stuff. I explain some uses for them here in my previous post. They're also pretty compressed so you can have a bunch of them in the viewport before stuff gets bogged down. If you're ever doing more traditional compositing with them and wish you had higher quality of a couple, feel free to give me a ping.
Huge thanks to Nate Taylor, who helped me film all of this a few months back in the dead of winter! We aimed a 1000 watt spotlight out into the woods on a moonless night, which helped isolate the steam elements (I originally tried shooting it indoors, but the light kept bouncing around and I couldn't get things dark enough).
Fun fact: the "Quick Vent" one is just him exhaling for a long time in front of the spotlight.
