Using #huevember to practice more traditional vfx. Color of day 4 is orange and I combine it with Inktober2018 topic “spell” from last month.

I’ve extended my 80lv article and released it on my blog. It’s about a procedural river using houdini in Unreal Engine.

I love the approach for this effect :D, the flash creates a good feeling of the fire starting.

By creating some contrast in the first few frames of the fire you can give it an extra feeling that the fire is “popping out” (if that is the right word for it haha). Down below is a little sketch, maybe it’s useful :smiley:

Thanks man! That’s a great tip! Must try it out! Perfect example for the overshoot-animation-principle.

I tested the blender 2.8 grease pencil. really nice. i animated some 3d spheres to be sure it looks and then you can paint on the surface of them as a base - with that you get a nice volume.

For the colors I’ll inspire myself (aka steal) colors from @liuyongjie because she made stunning concepts (https://www.artstation.com/artwork/DxVRKE):

worked a bit more on it. turned the smoke to grey, the inverted color is a little bit green/blue now and i added a bit glow around the explosion at the beginnign to define the silhoette a bit better:
