Very grateful for any advice here please folks.
I need to reproduce this flame:
It’s a rapidly flickering gas burner flame, deflecting off the roof of an oven. The burner itself is only about six inches in diameter, the fire covers an area about twice that.
I have spent days attempting it by trial and error, in both the old smoke sim and Mantaflow, and I am tearing out my overgrown lockdown hair. The main problem is that the more I increase the quality settings, the larger-scale the result appears. So I either have a fuzzy, blurry blob of orange light, or napalm.
How would you go about recreating this effect?
