Using just a few video elements of torch flames, we composite a burning hand by using a series of null objects and expressions to drive a time lagged displacement effect to simulate fire burning from a moving source. We use the Puppet tool for the distortion and throw on some tracked lighting effects and a displacement map for the Heat. This principle can be used to add realistic, fluid motion to any tracked object.

Good looking, intuitive, smart and responsive interface that uses modern technologies for appearance, animation and functionality.
Months of coding, testing and careful tweaking have made Flame one of the most comprehensive and unique interfaces available.
Still developing, Flame Admin will continue to be refined and added to, making it better with each update.
Feedback and suggestions are welcome and will play a big part in shaping Flame Admin in the future.
The plan was to create an easy on the eyes, user friendly and intuitive interface that makes good use of recent HTML5, CSS3 and jQuery code. No compromises. But over time it became more than that.
It became a powerful, smart interface with a lot of custom jQuery functions tailored especially for it, to ensure full integration with the design. It became a package with almost any element and style a developer would need to forget about the front-end and focus on the back-end (giggity).

FXPHD grew out of the fxguide website, which was originally formed as an online community for flame artists. So it should be no surprise that we’ll be the first with a new course covering the release in both smoke and flame. This is arguably the biggest release in years for flame and smoke, with a great number of creative and workflow improvements. Check out the new feature overview videos at fxguide.com — it’s over two hours of material. Our slate of profs has been involved in the beta program for the release, so they’re ready to hit the ground running.

This video is an electrified, fast paced JUMP START for anyone trying to learn Autodesk Flame. Flame Jump Start covers everything you need to know in order to navigate the extremely deep, user interface of Autodesk Flame that has been accumulating tools since the begging of the Digital Visual Effects Software generation.
