This is the best process I found this far to simulate fire without a third part plugin. A huge thank you from a new cinema lover.

hands down ej you know A LOT about cinema4d and different workflows to apply in any mograph job . awesome

coolest c4d tutorial i've seen in 4 years

[sharpspike]

What an expertly done tutorial with amazing results. Wow, thanks for your great contribution to the Cinema 4D YouTube community!! It's always a good day for me when you post a new video.

[PhilippeMoesch]

Thanks. That makes it much easier than draw frame by frame.

[DracoBlair]

This makes me interested in the software so much! Thanks!

Guess I found my new favourite YT channel. :D

[MTMiPower]

OMG thank you so much for responding my question!!

[philosophyofreligion]

using the Normal effect was very clever ..

[MrTateproductions]

You're awesome man. How would I loop the fire?

[munguriekjoel]

Thanks for that, I have a question how do I hide textures on objects in the scene to make animation faster since they drag bit.

[footageisland]

Great tutorial!
I have a question..
I extended the project to 1800 frames long but the animation played only for the first 160 frames. How do I apply the animation to keep moving all the way through the timeline? I would love even if you will refer me to a tutorial. I couldn't find anything.

Thanks a lot!

I can't render it. It doesn't renders ssmoothing and metaball, how can i fix it ?

[andrewrobertson]

Right for some strange reason when i add the smoothing deformer it's doing nothing, i'm following it step by step but rather than a match i'm using my logo so its a much bigger sphere to begin with but it doesn't seem to register the smoothing deformer, any ideas?

[jamieyyoo]

Hi EJ. I saw you have a bunch of swatches underneath the color slider. How did u make this happen? Many thanks! Big fan of your channel.

[pnvgordinho]

Very cool. Do you think you could use on your flame the sketch and toon effect and make a black and white flame?.

[ricardom]

So no one else is having issues when rendering? For some reason once im done it looks great in the view finder but once i fully render it doesn't render the rest of the particles. It just shows a short spherical bump.

[frankie_ki]

Dose anyone know how to apply this same effect on maya? It's kind of hard to get the smooth deformer on my partical in resuliting the sharp edge.

[muratz]

Also my "smoothing" deformation didn't work. I've tried a different method in order to get the similar effect. I put the null into a "hypernurbs" and applied a "taper" deformation between hpernurbs and everything (null). Not just the same but it was enough for me.
Note: I didn't try but i think you can get a flame like this by using "cloth tag" and "tear" activated.

You can make the fire does not come from a point side ( As with the matchstick )? which comes from a flat surface (plane) like a furniture?
