Richard Pryor once said, “Fire is inspirational!” Of course, he was speaking of the time that he set his head ablaze while freebasing cocaine, but the gift of Prometheus really is inspirational. That's one of the reasons I've chosen to do the tutorials on fire this week. As I keep repeating through this blog, I love simulations, and using fluid mechanics to simulate a fire is, well, just plain cool. So, I'm working my way through the concepts of fuel, incandescence, temperature, ignition points and such in hopes of gleaning some understanding of how to make fire look real in Maya. It's a bit of a daunting task, but I'm up for it. Let's see if I can strike the flint just right and make a nice roaring fire!
