Course Description

This series of tutorials will teach you how to simulate a candle flame using Maya fluids. We will examine in detail how candle flames burn. We will discuss both the chemical and physical processes of candle flames, as well as technical theories. These principles can be combined with Maya fluids to create CG art. The flame will then emerge from the wick. This course will cover the technical specifications of fluids as well as how to adjust the settings to make the flame simulation more realistic. We will explore the technical characteristics of fluids, including temperature, density, dissipation and diffusion as well as velocity swirl. We will also explore how to bend flames and see how they react to interaction. You will be able to take your creativity and understanding of production workflows to the next level.

Skills You Will Gain

What You Will Learn

Learning the process of understanding and simulating a candle flame with the help of Maya fluids

The end result will take you to the next level of creativity and production workflow understandings

This course will teach the various technical specifications of fluids and how each and every tweak of the settings can be useful to convert the flame simulation into a realistic behavior

We will advance further into understanding the technical attributes of fluids including density, temperature, dissipation, diffusion, and velocity swirl, just to name a few

We will also look at how to bend the flame and have it react to interaction

We will be studying in detail the burning of candle flames

We will learn how to blend such principles to CG art and bring the flame out of the wick with the help of Maya fluids

We will look at technical theories and discuss the flame's nature as well as its chemical process
