Title: CGCircuit – FX MAYHEM 102 – Smokeless Fire & Flames
Info:
This production oriented course will teach you how to get realistic looking fire & flames with very simple and easy to understand methods.
After briefly going through some theory, we are diving right in and create 3 example simulations, a Torch Flame, a Logo Floor Fire and Hammer Fire for our good old test geometry friend, Houdini’s Crag. We going to develop the look with the first example, extend the complexity with a spreading fire simulation in the second example and create a fairly complex fire simulation in the Crag example including the floor catching automatically on fire and a little shockwave. After the simulation chapters, the course splits into two possible paths, one for Mantra Rendering and the other preferred Redshift 3D GPU Rendering. And last but not least, I am going to show you how to composite and post process the rendered results and what custom tricks to use to make the fire look really good! This course contains about 8 hours of content and is supposed to go over multiple days.
Disclaimer: Please bring patience when it comes to rendering, especially Mantra Rendering!!! I am giving you the same settings I use in real world production renderings (Redshift3D) and a good amount of GPU render power is required for a fast result!
Warning:Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus, and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the installed app. Some of the materials posted here are grabbed from CGPeers, so it could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link (higher than 30% positive result). Thank you.
