simulating fire flames from gas burners

I need to create more or less realistic fire flames from kitchen gas stove burners.

Can anyone suggest the best way to do this?


Thanks.

 

I'd look at Mike Wilson's site. He hasn't done flames, but the techniques
should allow you to do that. I am assuming of course this is not a CFD
problem you are posing.

Overclock your CPU

 

For a model, drawing or rendering? Need more info.

 

Ive done it using semi transparent surface features

It's just a silly model, but the flames were created using lofted surfaces
inside one another (irregular spline sections to a point). The flames were
made in SW even though the part was made in SurfaceWorks. They were just
made transparent and given some emissivity.

 

Cute picture! Does that burn propane or LP gas?

Perhaps a hollow model of the flame, partially transparent, with a
light source inside of it?

 

It's Matt - uses plain ol' hot air.

(just kidding Matt)

Ooooh, damn!

 

....one way, set the materials to "AIR" setting the colours to "blues",
"yellows"... and setting the "refractive index" way up.

best,

I did a flame from an exhaustpipe using a spotlight....
