About 30 Hairs, almost transparent, yellow and red materials - and there's a neat heat for them there homeless bums.

Interested?

I never considered using dynamic hair as a flame effect. Have you tried using the wind force generator on it to make it flicker?

Well, I used the wind engine to blow the flames to the side a little. It looks acceptable as long as you don't get carried away :-) I'm not that deep into P5 yet to do animations (other than a test with the walk designer). The settings for the fiery hair are: Hair lenght .5 variance .3 No. of Hairs 30 tip width 1 root width 30 (! That's the trick) clumpiness 0.5 kink strength 10 kink scale 100 kink delay 0.3 verts 30 Materials - I know you know ;-) red and yellow transparency 0.95 edge 0.8 falloff 0.6 (yep, that darn value:) alternate diffuse: color node with red and yellow add a little noise into the color settings and voil a small but fast rendering fire!

Ok, I tried it with the wind force. The poor guy almost lost his trousers to the flames :) So I reduced it a tad. Willy (Note: violence button has been set!)

As you can see, Buck Rogers has come a long way! Those hair is usable even as a torch flame. Just play with the colors.

Oh, BTW, I forgot: the base for the flames is a cylinder primitive straight out of the props. I selected only the top for the hair group. Willy

Yannow, I suggested this about a week after P5 came out, and looks like someone actually succeeded in it, cool!

Remember, kids! Napalm is Nature's Toothpaste!

Hi Valander, I didn't know about your suggestion. I simply tried to think "out of the box" (hair -> gras -> a faqir's nail-board, ... and flames). It would even be a great add-on for a certain land-dragon, I suppose :) Willy
