Burning Effect

[Mylenium]

HOw can I make it so that it looks a full 3d object with depth while burning?

Use real fire footage perhaps? The effect looks very much like it....

That was what I had in mind too but I wasn't sure.

with that stuff. or shoot some elements yourself against black.

you could also have a look around this guy's website for some ideas, but it won't look as real.

I'm with Mylenium, that's definitely real fire footage in that clip.

Actually it's not rock, I think. This looks very much like a macroscopic shot of a gas burner burning thru something from behind. It might well be leather, spongoid stone, wood or whatever can be used to get such effects. The rest is just heavy color correction. If you search for "grunge textures" you will come up with tons of usable images that have that desaturated, dirty look.

It's real footage of fire composed over a cg meta particle falling down and splatting and then composed over asphalt of some sort. Just get some stock footage of fire from an overhead shot or whatever angle you are using and use shift channels and hue saturation to composite onto whatever surface you need. If it looks flat - make more layers (put them in 3D space)with different shots or time remap your shot at different intervals.

I have attached a JPG of the settings I use all of the time to composite flames or explosions - although I used shine for the color you can use hue/saturation or cc toner to do the same.

Here are some links to sites you can get fire footage:

of course you can just google it.
