Does anyone know where I can find some good fire and flame tuts. I need to create it for a jet engine and for a torch. Thanks

I second this question, I need to get the fire thing wired in Carrara, I've hardly used, and I can't get decent results either..

Kix? Sounds like your next backroom tut is being requested. I haven't been sucesful creating anything worthwhile with the flame primitive either. Somewhat succesful with multiple particles put together to create an OK thing for a background component, but not something for, like, a couple of people sitting around a campfire say.

Well folks, sorry to say I haven't really been that successful either. I'm very amazed at the fire I see in the cartoons which are on. The fire looks so dang realistic that I did some research. Lots of 3D'rs use actual footage of flames (or images). Now is that cheating or what!!!! Let me play with it and I'll see what I can cook up but no promises. -Kix

Wait a few more days or so and they'll be one available from me from 3dxtract.com updated and improved. Brian

I can also email you a file if you'd like and you can take a look at it.

Looking forward to it, wherever it is. Thanx!

Nicholas86, I'd love to take a look at the file (my e-mail is chrisdmd@aol.com). I remember a while back, when C1 came out, there was a tutorial where you used the space shuttle model and added flames to it. It looked great but I can't find the tutorial anywhere. I know in Cinema 4D you can simulate flames by using a light (omni) as the particle object in a particle emitter. The results are very good. I tried to figure out how to do this in C3, but can't. In C4D, they also have some nice animated flame and fire textures that when mapped onto a plane or other object are very convincing. I'n sure it could be done in C3 this way, it's just you need the animated fire texture. Thanks

I remembered where I saw that flame tutorial. It was www.graphicsresouceclub.com. It no longer exists but it was something to join that had monthly articles about different software. It was from the Charles River Media people.
