Bulatov Evgeni, an artist for game devleopment studio Extreme Developers, has a great tutorial over at CGArena on how to use particle editor “Magic Particles” (from Astralax) to create fire effects.
The particles are an integral part of computer graphics. Cinema, TV, video games are using them to create impressive effects. Magic Particles is a powerful and handy tool for creating special effects, we’ve chosen it from several other editors.
I’ll try to give you some basic ideas concerning fire creation (backed by definite directions), so that you could go further in this area by yourself. The particles are not limited to the fire only, there is a whole world of wonderful effects.
