A Different approach to making FIRE in Blender!

Рет қаралды 20,837

Күн бұрын

Learn how to make fire in Blender without making a time consuming fire simulation! This fire effect will render quickly in real time using EEVEE render engine. The trick is creating an animated material that looks like flames and smoke, then layering multiple materials together to get the illusion of fire.

This is so nice! Was looking for a way to avoid using simulation. Although with EEVEE next have to modify a bit.

This is amazing! I'm working on a game with a friend at the moment, and there's a scene where a spacecraft burns up in Earth's atmosphere, and I was really dreading the hours of physics simulating I'd have to do in order to get the fire to look right. I'll still have to do that, but this way I can also manually adjust the amount of fire in any given location, this video made my job so much less painful, thank you so much!

Alright, I do have one question, and it's fine if you don't know the answer to it but: I'm trying to have an object both tumble around and also burn at the same time, and I'm struggling to find a way to get the fire to ignore the rotation of the parent object. For example, "flaming object" rotates 90 degrees, "fire" also rotates 90 degrees, and I don't want that. I tried using a shrinkwrap modifier to avoid rotating the fire, but I can't find a way to create a spot that doesn't just stick to the object's surface. Is there some way to stretch an object in a specific direction that would avoid this issue? It's fine if you don't know an answer, I'm just wondering if there's an obvious problem with this fire system that I'm overlooking, and I figured you have a lot more blender experience than I do judging by the quality of the stuff you make. Sorry for bothering you with this.

Do you know of a way to make the fire track a rotating object and still shrinkwrap to its surface? When I try to do it the lazy way (rotating the fire's mesh), the direction of the fire rotates too, and I'm trying to figure out how I can have the mesh track the flaming object but the fire always burn the same direction. Sorry if this sounds confusing, basically imagine a burning torch tossed into the air; I'm trying to find a way for the fire to not rotate with the torch, but still wrap around the flaming part.

How do you make a “light catcher”, so that I can add it to live footage. (Im trying to make a scene with a flamethrower simulation. But I can’t find a way to “catch” the light for the render like you would do with a shadow catcher to add it to my live footage. Any ideas ?

@KenanProffitt Жыл бұрын

Hmm I’d need a bit more context but you could try creating a plane that’s reflective and rendering it on a separate layer and composting the cast light from the plane onto your footage.

Hey Gustav, in the new versions of blender the mixRGB node is just "mix" and you have to set it color in order to get the rgb function. By default it's a float mix function.
