Fire Tutorial Blender 2.55.0?

I’ve been attempting to make fire using the new smoke simulator in Blender 2.5 for quite some time now. There are several good tutorials that demonstrate how to create it, but I never get the same result as the authors. I have a suspicion it has to do with different default settings in different versions. That’s just a hunch though.

Does anyone know of a fire tutorial for the latest build of Blender 2.5 (2.55.0)? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

hy,

you know these?





also Andrew Price has a cool free chapter of creating realistic (camp)fire:

But I think you should discover the settings on your own… Do a couple tutorials, and then realize what are you doing :smiley:

hope it helped,

Thanks for the links! Unfortunately, I’ve tried all of those tutorials. I can create decent smoke pretty easily, but when it comes time to add materials and render I get stuck. They never seem to work for me…

Hey, this one is fairly recent explaining the latest settings from MiikaH’s patch:

Thanks! I’ll try that.

check out my tut on fire youtube:

Great! That looks like exactly what I’ve been looking for!
