Realistic steam vent - how?

[karmacomposer]

I tried creating a steam vent in Leadwerks using particles and it just looks too blocky or bubbly (word?).  I want realistic thin whispy steam (like controlled fog) in a conical shape that seems to be seeping out from a pipe.

Any advice or presets for this?  If someone could just tell me what kind of particle and what settings would make this work would be a godsend!

Thank you.

You can change velocity, Rand velocity and acceleration settings to alter the direction of the steam. 

You can also change the colour to black for a smoke effect.

Hope this helps.

Are you using the softparticles shader in your emitter material?
