challenge 6: kozioo (particle fire)

[kozioo]

Hello. It's my entry to this challenge. Let's play

First test of the "burning violet box"
http://members.lycos.co.uk/kozioo/test1.avi

The movie is coded with "Xvid"

[PENdzel]

V nice fire!
try make evermotion intro (logo) 3s preview

[kozioo]

Thanks Pendzel
I've made a test of burning animated evermotion logo. It's a little bit longer than 3s, but it can be adjusted with few moves of mouse.

What do you think about it?

[_mistle_]

yeh....super fire .....i like it

[deetee]

Actually newly did a new firetest too. Needed some blueness in my fire.

[kozioo]

Deetee - your fire is looking really great! Are you going to enter this challenge?
Perhaps, I'll try to add some blueiness to my fire too
No update this time

[PENdzel]

Thx kozioo

[deetee]

Yeah, I better well just have to enter the contest, but since you have choosen flames, I will be nice and choose something else instead. It would be no fun with many flamerenders all over So I will do some explosions and mayhem instead

[kozioo]

I followed some Deetee's tips, and now I'm using some volumetric textures, so the fire looks good on bright backgrounds I'm stiil working on colours, and I think I should change the animation of the emitter - it's moving a bit too fast now.

U'm waiting for some C&C

[deetee]

Actually I dont think you should slow down your emitter. Make the fire burn more intensly instead. Make it much faster, bigger spheres, more additiveness to the flame and blur it a little more, so the flame looks more intense.

[Reaktori]

hmm... i keep getting this: This website is currently under construction.

can't see yuor .avi

[kozioo]

Deetee - ok, I'll try changing these things.
Reaktori - try to click the link with the right mouse button and select "save target as". It should work.

[kozioo]

Update :twisted:
I'va added some smoke (lots of smoke, actualy )
Before you watch this animation imagine that the teapot you'll see is as big as one-family house
I've got some problem with codecks, so this time You'll have to chose between 2 files:
The uncompressed avi (rar'ed)
http://members.lycos.co.uk/kozioo/fireavi.rar

or the cinepak (radius) coded file (also rar'ed)
http://members.lycos.co.uk/kozioo/firec.rar

They both showe the same, but the avi is over 3 times bigger than the cinepak movie. Uncompressed avi has better quality of course

[deetee]

You're getting there now! How do you spawn the smoke? It seams a little off, like - its not too fluent together with the fire. You could do an age test on the fire. At a given age it turns into facing particles, that grows bigger and fades away at the end, to give the smoke a fuller look, and a little more real.

Think you should add some more transparency to the smoke. It all depends what you want burning. Fuel/Oil etc burns very black and dense, while burning organic stuff tends to burn with a transparent smoke.

Its coming along nicely tho Keep up the good work

[kozioo]

Now I'm using sphere particles for smoke. But as You suggest - I'll make some tests with facing particles (or I'll use them both at the same time? hmmm)
About the transparency... I wanted to create a really dense and black smoke. I think about burning an vehicle I made some time ago But these are future plans. Now I have to work on the main part of this work - on the particles.
Thanks for suggestions and comments

edit
I forgot to add - the smoke is spawned as fully indepedent event. This is why it doesn't look "fluent" with the flames.

[kozioo]

Any more comments? tell me what do you think about it I really need some crits.

[kozioo]

A picture this time. (still got some problem with codecs :/ )

[kozioo]

I think it's the final movie. Now I'll work on my second particle animation I'll post some tests soon. Feel free to post comments.

edit
as always: use RMB -> save target as

[Russo]

nice.. are you using gizmos+particle?

[PENdzel]

ehhe V. nice!
