I searched for the query "how is tire smoke generated in video games?", and the second result was a web page titled:
What are the best techniques for creating realistic fire and smoke ...
with the blurb:
In action-adventure games, fire and smoke animations can be pivotal in crafting dramatic and intense scenes. The Gran Turismo series, for instance, employs sophisticated VFX to create realistic tire smoke and crash effects, significantly enhancing the player’s experience. These effects are not just eye candy; they serve to deepen the immersive storytelling that modern video games aim to achieve.
However, when I clicked the link, I got a plaintext 404 message.
I expected that a link shown by Kagi would be actually accessible, although in this case it appears to have been AI slop and so not particularly valuable.
