FumeFX Fire Shading RnD

Hey,As we now it's a little bit hard to get a nice and realistic fire look from fumefx so in this RnD about Fire Simulation and Shading i will descuss with you what i have rigt now also i have made a tutorial you could find it here : https://vimeo.com/638569023 so i have cover everything there even the composting proccess and also rendering using the Scaneline inside of max . i know it's wrong to render using scaneline because it can't handle more than 16bit range. so i didn't use vray because it crashes alot and i don't know what exactly so ya it's done.. Now, here are the scene files for anyone just need it HERE

Dirty flaks with fumefx November 2021

 Hey there,back with new fumefx RnD so  I referenced and researched the Flak that had been done by Graham Collier,Nail Horn,some other examples on vimeo and did very basic annotations of How I thought I could get that look. so I begin by working on the particles first so there was 4 different particle sources one for the inner thick trails and another for the explosion ball (mushrooming one) and the others are the thin part and the main trails

Early Particles Tests

for the particle sources settings I will provide a photo for it btw the main affect for it all is animating the fuel and temp and the smoke from a high value to zero or a little bit more and to get the feel of boof ! I have been animated the time scale from 2 to 0.5 over 20 frames, now for the shading part Black Body shader was used for fire and i have 3 different colors for the smoke every Particle source has different one to make it a little bit dirty look

Early Render Tests

 

Long Main Trails

Short Thick Trails

Long Thin Trails

 

This is just a quick and early test for the flaks I think that I would have some more time to improve it more. I hope that you have benefited from anything here, and if there is any question, please send it Video on Vimeo : https://vimeo.com/647490506
