Breathing Fire
by Scott O'Hara on Feb 22, 2012 at 4:26:49 am

Hey all,

Wondering the best way to create someone breathing fire, and I mean blowing it out like a flame thrower. I was thinking it probably might be easier just to get some footage somewhere and just composite it in. Or should I use Particular or another plug in/combination of plug ins?

Thanks
Scott

Stock footage using real fire is the best option, provided you can find something that looks like what you want. CG fire, especially create from AE still lacks realism.

Real footage of fire is still the best option. I do however like the presets in Particle Illusion, so you may want to check that.
