BIO
Started in 1981 with graphical simulation of industrial robots - part of my studies of math in Stuttgart (Germany). Then, by accident, 1984 Bavaria Film asked me to do computer animations for Enemy Mine (director Wolfgang Peterson, produced in Munich, Germany). That was my start into the more creative part of the business. From there on til 1991 i worked as an animation designer with several sorts of software (BTS FGS 4000, TDI, ...). We did commercial animations but tought students (from the Stuttgart Academy of Art) as well (half-half). After that i had the opportunity to make a move into event and "classical" design business. And there I still am - doing mostly print design in a little agency I am running with some friends. I kept always an eye on the 3D business, but only with the appearance of Vue d'Esprit on Mac i found a sort of way back into 3D graphics. This software for me is the ideal combination of easy-to-use and quality results so it was great fun to work with from the first moment on. Let's see where this all will drift to - who knows.

Wie sieht das mit den Renderzeiten aus? How about the rendertimes?
Trouble
That fire is very good IMHO. And yes, how are the rendertimes?
Thelby
I would call this an Anti-WIP, because the fire is burning all the WIP!!! Nice Work!!!
dhanco
Fantastic and horrifying because it is so realistic. Excellent work, tho!

Wow - love the color shift and the smoke (I think the dark gray smoke looks fantastic). Saw a bunch of house fires in October with all the brush fires around San Diego. Amazing of how high and intense the flames can get. This looks just like the news reports.

It's more of a raging inferno than a bush fire! Excellent work Walther. It's very dramatic!!
MimiCat
I think it doesn't look WIP, your fire work looks completion and excellent! Klasse!!
stolta
Fantastic work well done!

I think you're being far too critical of your own work. This is really excellent. What it like about it are the shape of the flame edges and the color gradient - quite convincing. If you are comparing this to a particle generator, then you may have a point. But for eco-flames, it's really quite good.

Wow, that looks hot! Great effects
telber
very effective render
