A flame or fire rising effect

[darkargasio]

u can use the after fx's plug in "pinneacle image lounge fractal fire" or the plug in "the foundry tynderbox fire"

No program of the called ones can create good looking flames, the only program available for the standart editor which can create really good flames is 3ds Max with the plug in "FumeFX".
AE can only create flames which look nice as a background and the candle plug in has too much limitations, and the fire looks simply like an amount of small particles...

There are certain other programs which can create special animations-types (fire), as example "Eyeon Fusion"... but FumeFX beats everything.

Fume fx is an excellent way to make a 3d flame fx,but there are also other cool solutions like dpit effex plug-in for c4d,or maya fluids is also cool.
