Fire in Anim8or

Hello,

Falloffalot asked a question on animanon re this. I can't get onto the site but thought it would be helpful here anyways, for those who haven't heard of terranim8or.

Best thing to use is terranim8or with an animated material placed on a background.

http://www.biederman.net/leslie/terranim8or/terranim8or.htm

use version 6.6.1

The source for the anim8ted background needs to be a series of jpegs.

You can also use terranim8or's built in fire plug in, but the animated material works better.

The youtube link is is just a quick render to give you the idea. Of course if you fiddle you'll get a much better result.

cheerios

below is one of the jpeg's making up the animated texture

I like the particle effects more than the textured one.  Particle effects with sufficient number of particles and smoke really look cool.

Version 6 of Terranim8or uses rotating cubes for the fire version 7 uses textures planes.

It's useful to have both. (Also as V6 has rain and snow)
