#Fire Creation
In addition to Danny's comments, I've actually played around with the
fire thing and I think I've got pretty realistic-looking fire. Again, in line
with Dan's comments, remember these key points:
– use the smoke ipas with red and yellow colours – apply an opacity map of a
slow gradation from bright white (bottom) to black (top) — use AAPRO for this,
you can experiment with the R-GRAD to get a "local" fire effect – use the rain
ipas with chaos set to 100% and left-to-right set to 45 degrees, make sure you
flip the rain upside down so the "sparks" are flying upwards (give that a red
material) – apply the glow routine set with the BRIGHTNESS indicator off of 190
or something
This produces VERY realistic fires. I must admit it didn't look too
realistic until the glow routine was applied properly and then — WOW.. real
fire! Give it a whirl..
