Does anyone know of specialized standalone programs (not plugins for more complex 3D rendering programs) that simulate smoke, fire and other natural effect?

Verifying lens calibration
I’d like to verify AF calibration of my lenses with my primary camera body? What’s the nearest place to Nashville where I could get that done? I tried doing it myself but the results were inconclusive.

Connections at camera companies wanted.

Models wanted for Wednesday afternoon in Salt Lake City
I will be doing photos for friend’s brand (Crusader Weaponry), looking for 2-3 people with some firearm proficiency. Basic safety familiarity would be enough, I can coach the rest if needed. The shoot would last about three hours.
