This is my first attempt at a tutorial. I made it to demonstrate how to simply create a fire and smoke simulation in Blender 2.65.

Do they emit smoke
Thanks for the short tutorial, very useful thumbs up
HEY WHEN I CLICK ON QUICK SMOKE THE WHOLE BOX TURNS BLACK AND NOTHING HAPPENS
Hi. Can you make a pixelated smoke?
if i play the animation the smoke disapears and it isnt even in the renders
Great tutorial, but I have one question! What attributes/parameters did you animate to make the fire and smoke stop emitting?
How do I render it? Every time I do all I see is the domain cube.
Can you do one on how to render and save a fire animation or even a still picture of the flame. I hear that you have to bake it, is that true.
Best one yet…simple and not much wondering around..it is to the point…thanks
help…my bounding box is not transparent
So could you ad an animation to the flame? Like if you want to make a wizard cast a fire ball could you animate the fire to behave the way it would?
Sardi, I have version 2.69, how do I change the resolution
I did every thing you did but when I press play it dose nothing.please help
Yes Banism, same thing.
quick smoke is same with normal smoke?
When i render with animation, my sphere just emits some kind of white smoke effect but if i played it without rendering, the sphere is actually lit and smoking…help?
Hi Tim, by all means send me a link if you post a video. You can set the smoke-collision object as no-render by unselecting the Camera icon next to its name in the Outliner winder (top right in default view).
Hi Joao, what exactly goes wrong? The Dissolve function makes the smoke vanish after a pre-set time. Are you having a problem of not getting enough smoke when using it? You may want to try balancing the Dissolve value with the Temp.Diff value which sets how quickly the smoke rises. Good luck.
Hello
I really enjoyed this video. However, I found a hard time making the effect Dissolves function properly. This mode of working the smoke hinders the proper use of Dissolves (tried multiple values and with Slow enabled and disabled and the little smoke appears). Any suggestions on how to proceed?
Thank you.
Hi Sardi, I have the same problem like SYNCOPATIC. Well, your download works. But at the start your cube (domain) is black. When I start to play, the black domain cube turns into a wireframe, the smoke simulation work perfect. I can´t find any problem/diference in the settings. When I use the Quick Smoke, the cube (domain) starts as a wireframe, when I play, the cube (domain) turns into black. Some idea?
Tanks i am amazed wath blender can, do This tutorial works fine for me to I am a Cinema 4d user
thanks
Hi Red. with the cube selected, press S then move the mouse. There is a Beginners tutorial in my channel which you may find useful too. Good luck.
How do you grow and shrink a cube? Sorry I am a beginner in blender.
Especially burn rate.
Hi Adi. With the inner fire object selected, not the domain, check physics settings. try adjusting the settings there.
Hello, excuse me. How can you make the Fire larger? Like a fire after an explosion? Please reply ASAP, thanks in advance
Very good Tut. Well explained, thank you.
Hi Clash, To adjust the flame/smoke colours go to the Texture tab with the Domain selected and then open the Colors section. You will see a Colour Ramp there which you can adjust (there will be one texture for smoke and one for flame).
To adjust the 'burn rate', you can adjust Temp Diff and Flame Rate under the Physics panel with the source object selected.
Good luck.
Hi Sync, there are a number of possible issues, however, check the video description now where I've placed a download link for a simple Fire/Smoke demo file. See if that works for you and if it does check the settings between yours and mine. Good luck.
The strange thing I have, is that when I hit the play button like you do after applying the smoke, the cube that I got when I chose the quick smoke effect turns black. I then have to select an object inside it with right mouse click to make it visible. No smoke starts , or maybe it does, but since there is now a black box around it, I can't see.
