FXWars! FLAMETHROWER !: Alex Duque, Freeform entry, flamethrower sim

#1

Hi Everyone… got excited last minute, i think the challenge ends on Monday.
i decided to have some fun this weekend and see what i could do :smiley:

not looking to win or anything… just have fun :smiley:

what i want to achieve is just the sim in Maya using 2011 since it has some cool fluids overhaul.

sooo. anyway…
i started on Friday like at 6 pm.
worked on a couple of solutions … but didn’t work… so went to the online help and found out you can plug nparticles to emit fluids… this seemed to be the right approach.

as of right now i can get the fire but not the smoke, or viceversa… i dunno why you can sahde fluids based on density and fuel. but not based on fuel and temperature… :frowning:
thinking about solutions right now…

I’ll post a wip in a bit
:smiley:

ps… i love all the entries… they look sweet!!!
