lol not sure. but it looks pretty cool. I normally probably wouldnt have commented but your second post made me feel obliged. I just dont know how to crit this work. looks good to me though
dose look cool though, flumeFX is nice
also, ty =} rendering is a pain in the ASS Vray GI +fumeFX = :poly122:
Looks cool. Would be nice to port the effects into a realtime engine.
If you are serious about pursuing a career in effects, whether it be realtime or cinematic i would check out Alan Mckay. He has some amazing DVD's out. You may find them here.

you can check out his products section for the DVD's which are worth every penny. He also has some free tutorials on his site.
Its difficult to decide which area you wish to go into at such a young age but you have started at a good time. Try your hand at lots of different things and you will find a niche which you enjoy. I would also recommend registering over at cgsociety (www.cgsociety.org) if you havn't already. You will probably get a greater response to fx based posts and cinematic stuff over there. However if its game related you wont find much better than here.
the most important thing it lacks is smoke.
this is what a real flamethrower looks like:

and also, i didnt use the tutorial on youtube... but i did look at some of kooj's work.
its quite simple:
particle spray + box + Udeflector
add fumeFX and GI w/ Vray nd your done.
also, i am thinking abiut getting into cinimatics, but i would like to learn to model a bit in low-poly as well....
That's definitely a moral destroying weapon.
I don't know much about SFX but I'd like it to "cone-out" more, and like multi said smoke.
Very cool.
5 years ago particle effects where kind of high end stuff but that barrier is slowing breaking apart. Also something to keep in mind is that games are kind of a gateway to film work.
Cool stuff, but you might want to try draft renders and simpler ways to iterate changes, it will allow you to try more in less time, always a good thing.
Check out Allen McKay sometime he has done some great particle work and is a FumeFX expert, he has some pretty good free video tutorials and some even better DVDs.
