Ultimate Guide: Creating Fire & Smoke VFX with C4D, Embergen, AE & SynthEyes

Today, we’ll dive into the VFX world and learn how to integrate fire & smoke into a drone footage of one of Vienna's most popular sights - the Vienna Giant Ferris Wheel.

We'll use various software packages: After Effects for compositing, C4D for 3D integration, Plasticity for modeling, SynthEyes for 3D camera tracking, and Embergen for fire and smoke simulation.

I’ll show you the complete workflow on one scene; all other scenes were created in the same way.

To make it easier to follow along, you can download the project files for just 5 bucks. This includes the drone footage, 3D-tracked camera data, CAD files, After Effects rotoscoping, and the fire and smoke simulations.
