Hi!
Dynamics is driven by expressions wich mimics fluid dynamics using standart Maya particles.It have controllable attributes like vorticity,buoancy,temperature etc...
All animations are hardware-rendered. Then in DF i do color correction,smoothing and a bit of layering.

Thank You.

wait, so it mimics fluids with regular particles, but is it just as slow as fluids? Im curious, cause I love fluids, but they are so damn slow! :D

*reel finished downloading*

wow, top notch stuff, now im really curious... you should really write some tutorials! (specially on the black smoke, and the scales.... but also, just the basic fire)
Cheers,
:beer:


**Edit: you have Maya 4, there is no fluids in version 4, so how are you going about this?

I like the fire effex they are really good... the 1st one I looked at kinda looks like a charcoal grill somewhat on a windy day.. I have been trying to mimic the same in 3ds max.. with no advial... anyway you did a swell job... but my comment is in the silver animation.... "Scale.mov" that is some really interesting work you have going on there... its really cool... I liked that one best of all of them... altho I am a pyro in reality hahaha but your work is cool... I dont give a good crit like this... but I can see the flames in reality so I guess thats good enough... but that Scale.mov is really awsome....

btw wanna see how pyro'ish i look... take a look here...

Thanks for reply!

Gremlin : The system don't have ANY conection with Maya Fluid effects,so it can work in Maya 3-5. And yes,it's faster than fluids.

DeathGoth : Oh my...you are a real pyromaniac. I hope no animals were harmed during explosion :)
