Hey,
I’m trying to get some fire-animation working, by more or less following this: http://www.3dartistonline.com/news/2013/01/tutorial-blender-2-65-smoke-effects/
The fire looks (like in the tutorial) kind of cool in the editor window, with the smoke and fire being all translucent and stuff, but as soon as I render there’s merely an orange & white blob on the screen, that’s all.
Why exactly is it that it looks good in preview but shitty in the render, and where did I go wrong? Any ideas?
Select the domain “Cube” and go to the material panels.
In the Integration subpanel change StepSize to 0.002 as the tutorial says to have a better render.
Before doing that it was just a really ugly collection of dots. After doing that it is just a really ugly blob, that appears to be in some kind of box (see the picture). Even after I turned up the Smoke resolution from 32 to 100, and changed the fire texture.
