- I created this file as a test on doing smoke effectively. I thought it
- worked out pretty well.
-
- POINTS OF INTEREST:
-
- This renders pretty well at even low res, if you can't afford the rendering
- time.
-
- I made the campfire flicker by placing a whole bunch of control points on
- the intensity of the fire light (a spherical light in the center of the fire).
- I then saved the intensity envelope and loaded it into the lens flare for
- this light. I SCaled it by .5 to make the flare vary between 40 & 60%
- instead of 80-120% like the intensity.
-
- I used the same envelope for a spotlight above the fire, pointed straight
- down. I set this up to illuminate the logs, and used the flicker envelope
- to sync it with the fire light.
