Admin Rodney Posted May 31, 2005 Admin Posted May 31, 2005 There are some nice particle emitter tutorials out by the likes of Colin Freeman/Shaun Freeman and others but this one I don't recall seeing. It's from 2000 but appears to have current informaton. For those that cannot view larger video tutorials it may be just the thing to get a good flame effect in your scene. Flame Tutorial It has a project file that I haven't tested. Thanks Sine NG! Quote

Guest thinker Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 wHAT i DONT UNDERSTAND IS THE EMITTER OBJECT AND FIRE LIGHT.i CANT FIND A TUT TO EXPLAIN THOSE THEY JUST TAKE FOR GRANTED THAT YOU ALREADY KNOW.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN. Quote
Fishman Posted June 13, 2005 Posted June 13, 2005 You seem to have your caps lock key stuck because I'm sure you didn't mean to shout. I thought the tutorial link explained it pretty well. The emitter object is a model and the emitter is created in the materials section. When you drag the material onto the model, the streaks, particles or sprites will emit from the object. I believe the firelight they were referring to in the tutorial was a light used to simulate the light given off by the fire. Remember that the streaks are an animation effect and that you may hav to change one of your preferences in the Tolls>options section to display them. Scott Quote
clonewar12345 Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Just to clarity the above post, you group one or more patches and then apply the material to it. Quote

THREAD NECROMANCY Does anyone know if this tut has moved or is just no longer available? Looking for a candle flame solution, but every one I try so far winds up looking like a christmas tree light.

Gerry Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 Hi Darthlister, you can animate the cp's in either an Action or a Chor to simulate the flicker of a candle flame. Have you tried that? EDIT: oops, I see you're trying something with particles. Your comment about it looking like a Christmas light made me think you were animating geometry rather than using an emitter. Quote
Hash Fellow robcat2075 Posted May 9, 2012 Hash Fellow Posted May 9, 2012 You can often retrieve abandoned web material via the WayBack Machine at www.Archive.org In this case... it works: http://web.archive.org/web/20050313212731/...etut/Flame1.htm Quote
