My ‘Hello World’ of VFX! Spent days learning cascade and cinematic work just to get my first flame out like that. First work always sucks but it sucks even more to not start! Now, onto more failures!
Gotta thank @JangaFX so much for putting out such a wonderful tutorial on making this effect (all starts from making the texture first, highly enjoyable!!). You can watch it here if you are interested.
