![]() ![]() Get a camera (I got some great results just using a DV camera), and some green or blue colored paper (I have found large origami paper works great). The real thing looks much better than anything computer generated. A host of post-production tools were utilized to create this fire and explosion effect in two weeks: 3ds Max, Thinking Particles, FumeFX, Vray and Nuke. My favorite fire effects that I have made in After Effects came from shooting real fire. Two angles of an exploding building for sci-fi web series Project S.E.R.A. The following impressive VFX fire breakdown videos demonstrate what’s possible when these tools end up in the capable hands of pro motion designers and VFX artists. Advanced users are going even deeper with simulators and render engines like FumeFX in 3DsMax and Maya, TurbulenceFD in Cinema4D, and Cycles in Blender to model physics-based smoke, explosions and fire VFX with advanced refinement. ![]() Third-party plugins for After Effects (including Trapcode Particular, GenArts’s Monsters GT and Phenomena from DigiEffects) make it accessible for motion designers and video editors to incorporate photo-realistic fire effects into video projects. Over the last few years, post-production tools have become increasingly more sophisticated in the creation of realistic fire VFX. In this post, we’ve rounded up a few examples of films and videos that got it right in post, complete with impressive VFX fire breakdowns showing how they pulled it off. Actual fire can prove a safety nightmare on set and simulated fire is difficult to create.
