Fireball?

Anyone have ANY idea on how to produce a realistic fireball animation?

Thanks.

Um, could you be a bit more specific? In Flash, video, 3d, etc.?

Flash prepherably, but i suspect that i would have to do it in some 3d proggy first.

Thanks

Well, as far as "realistic" that's not really something that Flash does well, vector artwork doesn't lend itself to realistic animation. You'll definitely need to do it in a 3D program first, any good program with have the particle capabilities to do fire. Look around on the net and you'll find lots of tutorials for 3D Studio Max and LightWave on how to do this sort of thing. Hope that helps.

Yeah i gathered, ill check out what ive got on my system, see if i can find anything half decent. I hear bryce can prehaps do what i want, but then again i havent seen many realistic bryce artworks either. but its somewhere to start before heading towards smax again.

Thanks man, much appreciated.

i got some pics i made . i'll put them up when i come back
