Create flame effects using solid textures

How to... > Render > Apply solid textures >

To create flames using the sCloud texture, create a shader and set the shader parameters as follows:

Set Shading Model to LIGHTSOURCE
Set Color to black
Set the Refractive Index value to 1
Set Transparency to its maximum setting (white)
Set the Glow value to 0.5
Map Incandescence with an sCloud texture.

Set the sCloud parameters as follows:

Set Color1 to pure green and Color2 to pure red
Set the Transp_range value to 0.3
Set the Center_thresh value to -0.5
Set the Amplitude value to 2
Set Rgbmult to a Value of 2.

Apply the shader to a sphere or an elongated (non-proportionately scaled) sphere. Non-proportionately scale the sCloud texture’s Object Placement Object to create a more vertical looking flame.
