Hey thanks a lot for the new videos. Could you perhaps upload a bigger pic of your settings? Can’T see anything

#66

Wow, thanks a lot. Much appreciated! And beautiful water falls man!

@rakyhr

the image is too small

#68

:banghead:

sorry for that image size folks … check out this

#69

Thanks a lot for the scene file!:slight_smile:

A couple of questions:

Why use an external gravity field? Why not use the built in gravity of the fluid node or why not use a negative buoyancy?

Why map the color to speed?

Bringing a awesome thread back to life!

Thanks to all the great advices in this thread I achieved a more realistic candle flame than I could do on my own ^^ But I get this ugly, wierd stroke between the colors of my flame… Cant seem to get rid of it… I’m using a 2D container too btw.

Candle Light

Any thoughts on what it might be? :slight_smile:

seems like your opacity graph is too steep near the core. try to soften the area on the right side of the graph.

#80

I tried it, but it doesn’t seem like thats the problem…
Played more around with the opacity graph and just changed it radically just to test. And this is how it looks: Opacity Test

Edit:
It seems to be my incandescence that’s the problem, been changing it a bit and now it looks more like this!
