Maya FX - Torch
My attempt at making fire effects in Maya using its built-in fluid simulation system.
No textures were used- simply adding color gradients to the temperature attribute really made this project come alive.
I did my best to optimize it as much as possible- However, my PC is starting to slowly show its age.
Overall extremely happy with this massive step forward for me
Initial Fluid simulation box (Rigid)
Simulation box: Turned to dynamic grid with Auto-Resize, Added temperature and density
Added color gradient
Colored demo
Flame V1: Pre-Optimization
Optimized performance + added opacity gradient for crackling effect
Post Optimization demo
Enhanced color schematic + Increased Rendering rate for more density
Set values for falloff and dissipation
Final Flame
