Blender Tutorial Fire Simulation Render Material Cycles Realistic 3D B3D 2.9 2.8 Animation Beginner
Had to do this twice to get the blocky noise out, in case anyone else has this problem, I set the RGB mode from the Noise texture ColorRamp from Linear to Ease, as Stephen suggested. i missed it the first time and it drove me bonkers. Finally the fire is looking perfect. Thanks for this amazing tutorial and all your hard work.
I ran into a very similar issue that was solved because my Math nodes were set to Add not Multiply
Wonderful thank you. Its great to see how you show images and outcomes with different settings.
The first tutorial I've seen on this that actually worked for me. Thank you!
Just one word : " Amazing Work " " Awesome " ( One word is not enough for you 🔥 )
This is exactly what I was looking for! Thank you for the tutorial boss!
You videos are great --straight forward addressing critical aspects but not dragging out trivial details.
I just purchased this course. I have been able to achieve something that I haven't been able to in 3 weeks of youtube tutorials and Im only 1st modular. LOL. What a gr8 course and well priced too. Looking forward to completing this!
Thanks for showing this very helpful tutorial and happy blending with blender.
One of the best tutorial on yt for fire in cycles
thank you so much, i try many times and finally got it the fire like your render, thanks again!!
Very nice tutorial, thank you very much!!
I one noticed that going into Material properties of the domain or the emitter object (I cant remember)->Volume->Interpolation->Cubic instead of Linear increases the quality of the fire a little bit more
Simply put, Thank You!
@@MagmaOokami haha no problem
I might have found a fix if you can't see it in the viewport. What worked for me is when I typed in the word "Heat" in the attribute node I was capitalizing the H and it didn't work but making it lowercase fixed it. I was having the same problem and just changing that helped for some reason.
Dude, thank you. I would be pulling my hair out trying to figure that out.
Man your comment saved my project, Thanks a lot!
THANK YOU! I was struggling with the same issue and could not figure out why things weren't working.
thanks
Thanks.... I skipped that ... I thought it was just for naming convention... lol 🤣
You win the internet today. This tutorial made my weekend. Thanks!
This is awesome, thanks! I was trying to figure out how to get rid of the blockiness and this was it
Thanks, great tutorial! Just what I was looking for.
Awesome i had the same issues thank you for the tutorial.
Awesome tutorial thank you!
Ingenious. Subscribed!
It took me a couple of tries to duplicate but I got it. Thanks for the tutorial.
wow this was awesome man
awesome video! worked so well!!
thanks alot man this is the best tutorial ever seriously!!!!!
For those who are working with version 3.1, try this method: connect the volume info of the density part to the color ramp and connect the color ramp to the math and set the math to multiply mode.
By increasing the multiplier, your fire will be brighter, for example, 40 is suitable. And finally, connect the multiply (math) to density or blackbody intensity. Make the right and left collars black and the center white
Bring the two sides of the black closer to the white.
What are you trying to say? What volume info to what density part?
@@Jmvars This video only works in versions before 2.9. So with this method that I said, you can make it like what you see in the video in versions higher than 2.9.
@@AMIN-hk6vg Yeah but I have no idea how I'm supposed to do that. I don't know which part is the "volume info of the density part".
@@Jmvars Add a node named VolumeInfo. This node has four points named color, density, flame and temperature. When you add the ninety-color ramp, there is a dot on the back called Fac. In the volume info node, connect from the density point to the fac color ramp point
my cycles is giving me 10 hours to render a single image,how can i reduce that?

Good tutorial. Thank you!
Great tutorial. Very interesting.
Thank for this, I definitely need this for my youtube channel
I try it. And it is really good for image render. good tutorial 😄
That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing this approach. I`m doing vfx for games and was looking for a way to create flipbook spritesheet textures with fire and/or smoke to use with Unity particle system. This is a huge problem right now for most of the indie vfx arists to find a way for creating those textures withought having to use Houdini or other subscription slavery software. Thanks a ton for your tuts! Wonder if you could make tutorial about creating and rendering out flipbook spritesheets with fire and smoke simulations to use in games. As an alternate workflow for those who can`t afford Houdini) That would help so many people! Thanks again man! You`re the best!!!
Thanks so much! I've been looking into this as well and it works great :D
Awesome man
thankyou for this! I'm trying to make an HDRI Image with a ring of fire and this is perfect!
Really amazing thanks
Amazing tut
Saves to watch later, see you in the morning

Dude. Huge thanx! :D
Amazing!!!
So good 👍
Great video!
Thanks A lot Bro ;)
works amazingly on blender 3.0.1
спасибо за хорошее объяснения ))
nice tutotial thank you
Thank you!
Cool!
Great :-) thank you
Thank you
Outstanding! Many thanks for this excellent tutorial. Liked and subscribed.
easy tutorial and new subcriber :D
Tnx bro i made it❤
Great videos please keep making more man!
THANK YOUU!!! made a fire composite.this tutorial helped a lot. I made a mcdonald signboard turn into a rocket.hahaha
Thank you so much. this looks so much better than the normal settings. Thats what i needed.
Super. Teach us how to animate "injecting fluid out from syringe ".it will be a challenging project as well as a great help
I think it would look better even for animations.
Thanks, I love you UwU
Does your example cube or sphere need to be in Meters? I'm having an aweful time getting those big long flames your achieving. This demo is great!
This is magnificent! I love this - I mean, WOW! what an amazing tutorial! I have to ask - where did you discover this pile of gold?
Just experimenting with fire materials! A lot of my tutorials are just me messing around in Blender and finding cool things.
@@BlenderMadeEasy *Well then,* my friend, *Keep up the amazing work!!*
If only I saw this BEFORE I started working on a massive project involving fire!
i feel your pain
You're not alone in this pain :(
I wanted to make a short film with smoke sims with resolutions above 512^3 for a long period of time.
For some time I waited for mantaflow to catch up, and at some point I just decided to write my own simulation software running on the GPU
If you still need it its slowly getting ready so maybe you could use it at some point
(some sample renders are on my channel if you want to know how it looks like)
@@lunapictures7989 Thanks, I'll definitely check that out, since I'm gonna be doing some more fire-heavy scenes in the next few months. Although for me the problem was less with resolution of the simulation, and more with the shape of the flame just looking wrong.
@@SupaKoopaTroopa64 oh, I understand. Well I'm not the one to judge my own work but I think the fire from the new solver looks acceptable. (Not like it's perfect on the sample renders but for each demo I've spent about few minutes to prepare and simulate them so the results definitely could be better)
@Blender Made Easy how do you make those deleting default cube animations? I've notice that the timeline is stopped so is not an animation made in blender. Is it an Add-on?
i think he's using a modifier, and changing a value, some editing is going on to hide it
Great video! But when I closed the file and opened it back up the effect is not working anymore. Is there a way to fix it without redoing the whole effect?
LOVE U MAN11111
Excellent tutorial! Thank you! But for some reason, when Blackbody=0, the render is just a black square (((What am I doing wrong?
AMAZING STUFF, although i still have some issues with this random and weird looking fog that is produced
For anyone pulling hair because of non-working turbulence force field bug with pure fire simulation:
You have to add at least a tiny amount "Flame Smoke" (like 0.00001) under Fire tab in Fluid settings for your domain.
You can later remove that smoke by setting Density to 0 for Principled Volume in Shading tab.
This is a good tutorial! But I must have mess up somewhere to not see any fire but just smoke. Gonna keep trying till I get it down!
Set the inflow object type to fire instead of smoke.
@@BlenderMadeEasy Having the same issue, inflow is set to fire. for me all I can see is the heat haze. upon farther inspection my actual fire is falling out of frame..? Not sure why.
Update! After following the video step by about 5 time it some how worked how it was supposed to.
@@jasolively1986 I had the same problem and just realised that you need to be viewing the fire in SOLID Viewport Shading NOT Rendered View
hi!, i try this and want to render animation. however when i export png with RGBA the effect is gone~ do you have a correct setting to render correct with alpha? thanks
Please next tutorial on Falling Meteoroids pls
yessss
Thanks! Well explained! Edit: a bit fast with each step, but concise, its just I I have to pause, go back a few times to really look, follow., and get it. I like that you are not too slow though. lol. Cant have it all. Again well explained. Maybe a few breaks.....5-8 seconds. to let viewers compute.. then next step. lol...But My finger is on the mouse/pause.
Hey, awesome tutorial, been having a play with this, for a logo design, really cool, but for some reason when i switch to cycles in viewport shading, i just get a black box, not sure what ive done wrong?
Such a great tutorial! I have a question: When I try to render this fire within an existing scene, I keep getting "GPU is out of memory". I've tried it using resolution divisions all the way down to 32, but no avail. Any suggestions?
This seems to be a problem with Optix. If you switch to CUDA the rendering will work. Though CUDA is a bit slow. So far I haven't come across any other workarounds. Hope this helps
Same here. But I am working on a potato pc 😂🙂👍
Amazing tutorial, but for a transparent render is there a way to make this work? I can do with black background, but transparency would be perfect - RGBA makes the fire disappear
Did you figure out the way to render it with transparent background?
That is so weird, it renders but there just isn't any way to save it as an image lol. This used to work just fine, so I have no idea what's going on here. Anyway, go into render settings and add an emission pass, change image format to exr, then use the compositor to save the emission pass. You'll get a completely black background, but you can just remove the black in Gimp or something, and then you'll have what you're looking for.
I followed every step and theres no fire no smoke, nothing.
Same here. Did you ever figure out what was going wrong?
@@jasolively1986 no I just shelved it for another time, waiting for someone to do a better more helpful tutorial
Have you switched the render engine to cycles or smthin??
You should change the render engine to Cycles. The default Eevee doesn't work for fire
Everything is perfect and I made a very nice flame, thanks!
But the light it produces on near objects is very low, do you know how to increase the light emission radius itsef without having a super bright flame?
Because if I multiply the input that goes in the emissive value, to get a decent radius I get also supernova level of luminance on the flame itself, losing all the nice details
Anyone knows the list of attributes being created by Blender ? It would be great to be able to explore...
Excellent tutorial as usual. Very useful, thanks.
Unfortunately there is no documentation of the simulation attributes. There really should be but I was not able to find any. One thing you can do is import an OpenVDB as a volume. That will give you a bunch of attributes that you can choose from. But doing it that way doesn't show all of them. Heat, for example, doesn't show up on that list. I don't know why the Blender manual doesn't have a list. Hopefully they will add that sometime.
@@BlenderMadeEasy Thanks for the tip ! I just imported a VDB volume file, but I cannot locate that list of attributes you are talking about...
And yeah, it's mind blowing that Blender manual doesn't have a list and a short description.
Will this also look better in a full animation?
When I render flames in blender with a transparent background, the flames only show up against the backdrop of my object. How do I make them show up against a transparent background?
hii, great tutorial! I've made the fire ball but cannot figure out how to import it into my blender scene! Please help!
This doesn't work in blender 3 :( Is there any minor change i could do to still achieve this?
I followed everything to a T and unless you turn blackboard intensity back up, the fire is invisible. And with it turned up, the fire looks no better than the example you had at the beginning of the video of a not so great looking still image.
In viewport shading mode, my fire looks really blurry and pixelated. I have followed the video up to 5:09 and it doesn't look nearly as good. Any idea what might cause this?
nice! what about fireflies though
Followed the tutorial step by step, fire remains invisible unless I turn up "Blackbody Intensity"
Edit: Had to type "heat" without a capital letter...
I wouldn't nedessarily say it is more realistic. If you are going for a little to none exposed scene, then maybe, but if you put this into a high key lit scene it is just underexposed fire compared to the rest and going to look off. But I mean, getting rid of detail later down the line is always an option in compositing anyway, so I will be trying this out, great tutorial.
Hi man
I have done all the steps
But in Blackbody lntensity when set to 0, no fire appears
Also, there was no significant difference when I added
principled volume and tied in volume,Like what happened in the Tutorial
My version is 2.93.5
In conclusion, thank you, you did a great job👍🌹
Thankyou for the comment about blackbody
Thank you
Thank you so much bro, ur comment is so life saving ❤
The (Source) Sphere turned from white to black at 7:50... Mine is still white following all steps... Did you add material or something?
Completely lost me at 02:18. Suddenly the Coloramp and Attribute nodes magically appear from nowhere. I added them manually and attached as show but no flame appeared. Do I need to install Mantaflow? The instructions were so incredibly convoluted i.e. installations of other new software, inputting a directory... this is a horrible tutorial!
that is exactly where im stuck at now!
He show it at 2:19 just in advance. Later he desribe it in details, look at 5:20 for example
@@jehova1967 look at 5:20 - no reason for stuck )))
Great tutorial! I only have one issue with it, when I make the final render it's not appearing in the final rendered scene (png format). Anyone had this problem?
I tried doing this on a laptop, the laptop released an explosion comparable to that of 1 ton of TNT from having to render all the frames.
Something happened at blender 3 with the baking. Now a modular bake is not viewable in the viewport. It might be a workaround but from there on the tutorial got pretty hard to follow.
Does anyone know how to actually move the fire once it’s made? When I use the transform tool, it moves the box, but not the fire : (
the first viewer i guess!😀lol xd i mean myself
Nothing to be proud of
@@thegamerwithin1676 i just laughed cuz it's been so freaking rare for meh, who did proud?! U0U
Hey so any of the changes I make in the colorramp are not making any changes, can you please suggest me with a solution.
Same issue here, however I have not been able to see the flame at all.
It's nice, but sometimes I get a blocky/pixelated look in some random parts of the fire. Any suggestion on how to avoid it?
you should pick "cubic" somewhere in properties)
At 2:19 - How did we get to the heat attribute? The only thing showing in my shading menu was the Principled Volume and Material Output. I had to Add a ColorRamp and when I brought in a new Attribute, it was missing the Alpha option (which is probably the wrong way to go about it anyhow).
He show it at 2:19 just in advance. Later he desribe it in details, look at 5:20 for example
hello thank you for your video only I would like to have a rendering with a transparent background and I cannot see the flames outside the object in my rendering.
How would i make the Sphere invisible? i tried switching it to bounds in viewport settings but doesn't work that way.
Nevermind, didn't realize i could delete the sphere.
