Help! Need to create black smoke

[turkeybuzzard]

I am trying to make black smoke but the image I am using shows up very bright in Hyperion even though in Photoshop it is very dark. I am just a lowly 3d artist so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

To create a black smoke, use the following blending params in the particle system:

Code: [Select]

<particle_system     blending_src_factor="BLENDING_FACTOR_ZERO"  blending_dst_factor="BLENDING_FACTOR_ONE_MINUS_SRC_COLOR" >

</particle_system>

and use a texture such as:
