Hi Randy, For my purposes I usually need smoke in the following 3 forms:
1) Simple plumes of smoke. To be used in the distance or to sweeten up more complex smoke close up. 2) Smoke that is light from one side... giving the impression of a volume of smoke that is receiving a soft orange glow from a fire. This is good enough for mid distance. 3) Complex, full-on smoke. Each plume is a volume, with light illuminating one side. - For 1 I use Nuke particles and sprites. - For 3 I use Maya fluid. I don't envisage any way to make this in Nuke. - 2 may be considered as a 'fake' version of 3. I can usually fake this using the same approach as 1. I then light it by feeding an offset mask of the output back into an Add or Multiply. The results I get are variable and can be difficult to control. Granted... particles are not my strongpoint. For fire I use an adapted version of Timur Khodzhaev's excellent fire template: http://chimuru.com/?page_id=331 Either that or I go to Maya. One advantage of Maya is that loops are easy to make, and much of my work requires loops (installation art). I would love a solution that: - Had some on-screen controls. - That I can tweak live or semi live. - That maybe preview in low rez. - That scales up and down effectively without my having to manually adjust loads of parameters. That is one plug in I would pay dollars for. Thanks On 19 May, 2014, at 8:36 PM, Randy Little <[email protected]> wrote: > Define simple smoke and fire?
