was messing around in Photoshop, testing painting a beard anyway, it was dark to light orangy brown in color over black background when I tweaked its "Levels", it made it into a not bad fire look!

maybe interesting way for folk to make custom flames etc ;)

I found that rather than painting fire entirely in Photoshop, you can use photos and get a more realistic look.

I used a photo for this candle flame:
Michael 4 candle

and a blaze photo for torches near the pillars:
Fire on pillars

All you need is to find good images of flames on a black background. Google image is a good source but there are also some at CGTextures.


Fantasy pictures, free 3d models, 3d tutorials and seamless textures on Virtual Lands.
