Particle and projectile tutorials

Hi, i did a lot of searching and after not being able to find what im looking for i decided to ask everyone else about this!
does anyone know of any good particle tutorials for projectiles?
what i mean how to make boomerang shapes that spin in there y axis while flying, i tried to an animated projectil.dts shape but that didnt work.
how could you create special shapes with particles? or create spirals? or cork-screws?
all of this is interesting but there is nothing that can teach these things:(
so does anyone know of anything that might be useful for the creating of such particle-related effects?

i got a boomerang to work with this:
[url]http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=35871[url/] however since i modified my engine, it doesn't seem to work completly, feel free to use this, or as a point of reference, its really insightful:)
i also have the GPFT book but i could find particles or emitters, hmm maybe its time for me to take a look at the disc, lol
as for the projectile, i want it to be in the shape of a boomerang that moves almost like a slash wave, i tired using a dts object but it vanishes after the lod's are out:( so i want to make it all particles, plus they would also have some nice glow effects.
anyway, ill look at the disc, and i hope the boomerang script helps when you get there:) boomerangs in games rule!

I will also be making a boomerang soon, However I'm not on that
item as of yet. I'll be using Maya 7. I'm currently making a Javlin
I'll send you some info as soon as I get it figured out myself, as
I also want to use particles with the javlin.
I've purchased the GPFT Book, it is really good. It has special effects
projectiles and also particles.
Please feel free to communicate with me at

Please let me know if you learn anything.
good luck !
