A lot of Hollywood adventure feature films have fire element. Nowadays the fire was created digitally due to the flexibility of CG technology. This week I am going to practise the tool for creating fire.

Response:
To simulate a fire magic, Maya Fluid is the key tool to create a fire. There are a lot of steps before getting a correct looking fire. After that, the fire container will be rotate along a circle path to create the ‘fire magic’ effects. To get a better result, the scene need to be rendered and outputted to movie file. Due to the heavy calculation, I set a relatively low resolution for the effect.
