Hello,

I am trying to simulate fire using the Fire Container from the shelf, but right now my attempts look like a white ball surrounded by a ring of yellow and a ring of orange. Also, the page in the Help on the Fire Container has smoke coming out of the sphere, but no smoke is being generated from mine.

The steps I am taking right now are as followed:
-Create Fire Container
-Create Sphere
-Apply Burst into Flames (or Source From; I have tried both) on Sphere and Fire Container
-Create Spotlight
-Create Camera
-Render 30 frames in Mantra

If there something that I need to do to make the smoke appear and to make the flames to appear more realistic?

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Sorry that I do not know the answer to your question.

I've been asking myself the same thing…

How to make the flames appear in another fashion.

“Simple” things like controlling the height, color, etc. of the flames.

No old pro that can hint at something?
