Gases are areas defined by a single polygon (rectangle) they can then be shaped by texture maps. They are great for creating suns, planet atmosphers, galaxies, flames, rocket flares, etc. You can control the color, density, turbulance, and definition of the gas. You can also animate the changes or the textures over time. The turbulance can also be of a different color and density than the main gas. The gas is true 3 dimensional volume and not just texture onto the surface of a shape.
