Volumes for Fire and Smoke

Post by Racleborg »

I'd like to create a living room type fire (and smoke)

I can do it in Cycles, but can't work out how to do it correctly in Lux.

Could someone please upload a basic node setup or scene for me to learn from?

Many thanks

No, I hadn't seen that.

That's great and very helpful.

Thank you

.........so, if the Emitter is setup for FIRE + SMOKE can I separate these two in the SMOKE DATA node as it only gives option for FIRE, HEAT, COLOR, DENSITY and VELOCITY? or do I need to do something else?

Thanks

Oops, sorry for wasting time :oops: When both fire and smoke is selected the colour is different for each. (I'm fairly sure that's correct)

There is a node tree preset for "Fire and Smoke" available in the material properties, apply it to the domain material to have a starting point.

Thanks. Found it! :) :) :) I wasn't looking in the right place. Like the Disney Shader I think?
It's not where I normally add materials from. (I don't know the name of all the UI areas so I've attached an image.
