Hello everyone! In this Blender tutorial we will be covering how to create realistic fire for still renders. A lot of the time when you try to render out an image of fire it just won't look that great. So today I will show you how to add detail and make it look good for a still render.

Had to do this twice to get the blocky noise out, in case anyone else has this problem, I set the RGB mode from the Noise texture ColorRamp from Linear to Ease, as Stephen suggested. i missed it the first time and it drove me bonkers. Finally the fire is looking perfect. Thanks for this amazing tutorial and all your hard work.

I might have found a fix if you can't see it in the viewport. What worked for me is when I typed in the word "Heat" in the attribute node I was capitalizing the H and it didn't work but making it lowercase fixed it. I was having the same problem and just changing that helped for some reason.

That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this approach. I`m doing vfx for games and was looking for a way to create flipbook spritesheet textures with fire and/or smoke to use with Unity particle system. This is a huge problem right now for most of the indie vfx arists to find a way for creating those textures withought having to use Houdini or other subscription slavery software. Thanks a ton for your tuts! Wonder if you could make tutorial about creating and rendering out flipbook spritesheets with fire and smoke simulations to use in games. As an alternate workflow for those who can`t afford Houdini) That would help so many people! Thanks again man! You`re the best!!!

For those who are working with version 3.1, try this method: connect the volume info of the density part to the color ramp and connect the color ramp to the math and set the math to multiply mode. By increasing the multiplier, your fire will be brighter, for example, 40 is suitable. And finally, connect the multiply (math) to density or blackbody intensity. Make the right and left collars black and the center white Bring the two sides of the black closer to the white.

But the light it produces on near objects is very low, do you know how to increase the light emission radius itsef without having a super bright flame?

@headlessonion7881 Ай бұрын

For anyone pulling hair because of non-working turbulence force field bug with pure fire simulation: You have to add at least a tiny amount "Flame Smoke" (like 0.00001) under Fire tab in Fluid settings for your domain. You can later remove that smoke by setting Density to 0 for Principled Volume in Shading tab.

For some time I waited for mantaflow to catch up, and at some point I just decided to write my own simulation software running on the GPU If you still need it its slowly getting ready so maybe you could use it at some point (some sample renders are on my channel if you want to know how it looks like)

That is so weird, it renders but there just isn't any way to save it as an image lol. This used to work just fine, so I have no idea what's going on here. Anyway, go into render settings and add an emission pass, change image format to exr, then use the compositor to save the emission pass. You'll get a completely black background, but you can just remove the black in Gimp or something, and then you'll have what you're looking for.

@BlenderMadeEasy 2 жыл бұрын

Unfortunately there is no documentation of the simulation attributes. There really should be but I was not able to find any. One thing you can do is import an OpenVDB as a volume. That will give you a bunch of attributes that you can choose from. But doing it that way doesn't show all of them. Heat, for example, doesn't show up on that list. I don't know why the Blender manual doesn't have a list. Hopefully they will add that sometime.
