The Quest for Realistic Fire in Blender (pt1)

[TheFXGuy]

wow... you spent so long doing this and now it comes native in Blender...

Sorry, dude. Great for the version of blender used.

[NNB30]

bravo

[alanpgoodwin]

That's seriously cool! Nice work mate!

[joghurtgumi15]

i think this is maybe the best flame effect i have seen in blender so far. others are usually just orange and red smoke, these are flames

good job looking forward to the final product

[DMvO1]

is that diffraction i see?

[sripavanv]

nice work. a very smooth continuous flame. i have the same question as jorydasilva, is this done using fluid animation or just with the physics buttons and particles.

[Dark0Lord7]

@sripavanv billboard particles and nodes

[nameno1elsehas]

o.o

[StudioVoxel]

Having said that. Well done....5 stars XD

[segq]

fluid simulation?

[snuq]

i SERIOUSLY want a tutorial also!

that is absolutely amazing looking.

maybe a .blend file please?

or just some pointers?

anything? throw us a bone here!

[segq]

It looks like he's using billboards as particles

[FlareDancer]

it looks like a fluid sim upside down... but kind of hard to tell, cuz it's dark background... brilliant. ill hold u up to that tut thing. you said youd have it done by summer's end... SUMMER'S OVER WHERE IS IT lol jk! lookin forward to it

[jorydasilva]

lol dont get pissed but can you tell me this. did you do a water fluid animation then put the camera upside down (or changed the gravity to up) and then did you change the lighting to a fire/lava like thing....just guessing but please answer.

[QuantumAnomaly]

Nice! We will hold you to that promise ;-)

[moebiusdarvil]

give me a tips or advice or THE tutorial man it is so cool

[Bmud]

WHAT THE --- over 4000 views? Okay, I'll make a tutorial over summer! I promise! Wow.

[kosir1234]

yes please :D

[AngrySackBoy]

so you don't make a tutorial...

[logicutz]

You are the MAN !!!! pls drop a tutorial !! T_T

[russelldbrooks]

[innosennce]

[dr0wningmind]

I'm trying to do an animation that i need fire can´t wait for your tutorial

[oblenob]

[ZombiesKickAss]

buh....buh......buh......how?

[Yakshinian]

woah. How does it work?

[creating3d]

Thats awesome.

[xbowhunter]

WOW

[molch1234]

Great work!!!

[Pseudo8]

Looking at the still pics in the forum, I wasn't sure if you were headed in the right direction. However, after seeing it in motion here, it looks like you most certainly ARE headed in the right direction. Keep up the good work, and you'll have some amazing realistic fire!!

[TheMadLutist]

Does that use softbodies? Anyway, good job regardless. I'd really like to find a way to incorporate fire physics equations into a python script, but I have to learn the scripting and take some physics first!

[avelx]

I would imagen it uses force feild but softbody could work.

[TheMadLutist]

I would think forcefield, but you can tell it's really not particles. The edges are too clear cut, and movement ripples. That's something the Blender particle system can't do yet.
