Blender Cookie - Fire Simulation and Rendering in Blender

Using the simulation tools in Blender you can create stunning smoke and fire effects. These can be used to create rocket trails, explosions, campfires, candle flames, or even roiling expanses of smoke and flame.

In this tutorial we?re going to learn how to create a simple fire simulation that would be appropriate for a small bon fire. Fire simulation can be a bit daunting at first, in part due to the sheer number of parameters available for tweaking. Physics-based simulations always need quite a bit of experience to achieve the result you have in mind. During this tutorial we will share some tips and tricks for simulating and rendering fire.
