Flaming Ball
Film/TV

This project is the third of a series on improving the look of smaller scale fire simulations, that is based on the 2022 Siggraph Presentation, Sexy Fires Will Not Burn Your Hands.

The file demonstrates the usage of the Flame with Smoke applied on a static torch (represented by a ball). The aim of this setup however is rather experimental since it tries to achieve developing flames on the wind side of the torch which are able to swirl around the object; something that is not widely considered for touch fire simulations.
