07 Aug 2006Hi here
I was a bit less on internet theses days, but i'm back to participate to this fun little fire training session..
So here is my first test with Maya's fire system
Quiete fast to set (and to render) and good-looking for magical/cartoon fire, but it still need some tweaking to get a fire more realistic .. Will see that tomorrow. -
ALi 608 posts07 Aug 2006Hi Goul!
I remember your entrie in sound effect challenge. Great work. Glad to see you in this one! welcome back.
Very nice start mate. -
07 Aug 2006Goul nice start, look on google video I found footage of a ball on fire exactly like that it will help you for reference, I think I entered flame in the search engine when I found it.
-
07 Aug 2006yeah, looks cool!
is that Max or Maya? -
07 Aug 2006Thx guys
ar Lutik > is it this one? => http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid ... 13&q=flame
I don't know if it's done with the same tool, but it's an amazing result
hype> That's Maya

07 Aug 2006that fire ball is real fire goul

08 Aug 2006Correct me if im wrong, but that looks like the particle fire from maya, You should experiment a bit with the fluid effects fire man. It renders faster, and you get a better, more realistic result that in my opinion is easier to control. But like I said, I may be wrong.

08 Aug 2006Great Goul you found it.

10 Aug 2006After a couple of day testing fluids and learning from tutorials, here is a fire test with fluids.
zachm were right, it's far better with fluids, more intuitive...longuer to set and to render anyway
This shot still need some improvements ( slower particle emission, less turbulences and maybe find something to burn
) but i don't know if i will have time before the deadline...
Anyway fluids are really cool, i think i will use them for air and water -
10 Aug 2006wow! THIS is exactly why we need a fluid simulator in Max! awesome flame!
in fact, watching your flame play over and over a bunch of times gave me a totally new idea for my own geometry flame!
Thanx!! -
10 Aug 2006Dude that flame seriously rocks!!! Realy cool effect almost like a gas reaction! Sweet work!
-
10 Aug 2006thats the only thing that would make me change to a maya user, the fluids... but now that we are geting fumefx i dont nee maya anymore :p
gouul, for your fluid, make the fluid box taller, because right now they all die at the same level, and with flames, it doesn't work that way -
10 Aug 2006Wow very nice movement on that flame, but 2 things bugs me, it's very blurry so gives away the CG, and the other is if it's a gas flame it should be blue not orange red.

12 Aug 2006Thx guys
Actually, i'm trying to make a oil-lamp/bbq/wood-fire flame, so i will keep the red flames
The previous version is too fast, so the fire looks like gaz escaping.. I've try to correct that in this version.
I've also try to get better flames, less blurry ...and i've also try to decrease render time.
Anyway, there is again too much turbulences, and i could also decrease again the particle rate ... It's pity to haven't anything to make a previsualisation of fluids/particle before rendering, i will search help to see if there is something about that (anyway, if someone know..i'm interested)
It should really help.
Next one will be the good one

12 Aug 2006where i worked in easter, the guy using the fluids could see them with little white dots, can you at least see those in your viewport?
-
12 Aug 2006my last job, we could watch fluids right in the viewport. i'm not a maya guy so i don't know how this was achieved, but we didn't have any plugins or special viewers. just out-of-the-box maya.
of course, it wasn't full res, and if it had complex interactions, it would slow down a bit, but we could plainly see what was happening. -
12 Aug 2006hype>That's exactly what i have... I guess it's the default fluids display, really cool to see the global shape and turbulences. But my computer is not powerful enough to display it at 24fps, so it's hard to see if the effect is too slow or too fast without render..
Richard> i'm going to search this way, ticks should be cool, i guess it's possible
Just havenow to find how to do thats
