In this tutorial, we're going to have a detailed look at how to create a realistic fire effect using Bifröst extension in Maya. We start by converting our input geometry into volume Air/ Then we add fuel and combustion compounds to ignite the flame. In addition, we talk about how to use an influence compound to apply a force field and direct the look of our simulation. Finally, we assign a material to our effect using Hypershade window, and to top it off we explain the caching process to write our sim into physical files. As usual, I tried to squeeze a lot of useful tricks into the tutorial so hopefully, by the end of the video, you should be able to create a pyro-dynamic effect from scratch using Bifrost Aero system.
