Pseudorealistic fire effect that responds to movement

Hi guys!

A friend and I realized that there are no fire effects that look good when they move.
This becomes a huge problem when you want to give your player a torch in his hands and becomes even worse when he tries to swing it.

So we tried to create our own. We are still in the early stages of it (we only worked 2 days on it so far), but we would like to hear from you what you think and if you would like to see a more polished effect on the assetstore.

At the moment we only have the fire itself and a quick start of the ember.
We still have to add:

  • better ember
  • more flame shapes
  • more work on the movement of the flame
  • air flickering
  • easier control over the behavior and look of the flame
  • sweet smoke, sparkles and ash
  • documentation

Of course you can tweak a lot of stuff:

Definitely would like this on the asset store! :smile: maybe make a work in progress thread?

Thank you for your reply!
I have not seen the WIP forum :frowning:
Could someone move this thread?
Because it would be stupid to create a second one.
