Fire abstract look

[prashantcgi]

Hello Everyone!

 

I'm looking for a very abstract type of look from fire, very commonly seen in photoshop images.

Please check the attached images for reference.

 

As per my knowledge there are two parts for developing this look

 

1: Pyro FX for getting realistic flames.

2: Material shader for edge glow.

 

Please guide me how to pursue this effect.

Guide me the link for material shaders and any other references.

 

Thank you all.

Try advecting lots of very small particles (millions) through a low-medium res pyro sim, rendered with an additive shader.  That's probably the most efficient way of doing this.

 

I did Magneto's effects this way: 

(0:50+)

And all of Dr. Doom's effects, too:

Hey Adam!

thanks for the Guidance.

 

If you have some sample file or some test for the above it will helpful, since I had not done much material related work in houdini.

Thanks So much!!!!!!!,

In the help files, search for advect and that should get you started with the particle part.

 

For rendering lots of particles, check out Peter Quint's tutorials:

Hi LJ

 

It will be really helpful if you can send me a sample file, I got result good result from particle advection but the problem is it takes long time to render millions of particles.

Thanks
