The last challenge is how to see the air flow -- if you could model realistic tufts, that would be best; or if you could model smoke trails, that would also work. But until I can get the model in, it doesn't matter.

Has anybody on the forum been in contact with Dave Cloud, or seen the Dolphin in person? I emailed him a little while ago but no response yet. I may give him a call ... I'd love to hear any updates on the Dolphin!
Care to send that model my way? have you used the valve plugin to export it as a vmf/smd format already?
