fire and smoke

Support Compositing and Post Processing

Hi guys, I don’t know if this is the right forum but I manage to create explosion using particles, which I am very please with.
Now my next task is to create fire and smoke which I tried but with little success. Can someone point me in the right direction.
Thanks in advance

Well unfortunately, the direction I must point you in is down a long bumpy road. There really isn’t a good way to get real looking fire in Blender.

Although, I guess it really depends on how close you’re going to see the fire. Because if it’s far away, the crappy puff ball particle system-made fire would be fine, but if you’re really close to it, it just looks bad.
