How do I start a fire with ExplosiaFX?
- [Instructor] Explosia is a new feature in X-Particles 4, and it allows you to produce some stunning smoke and fire simulations. When you add an expose object to your scene, let's just do that, looking at it for the first time, it can make you feel a bit overwhelmed. There's so many settings, and it appears to be really complex. In fact, you can set up a decent looking simulation in minutes. In addition to the explosia solver, which we've just added, you need a source object, and you need to place that inside the bounds of the solver. So we'll use this torus as our source object, and let's just check, yep, it's inside the bounds, which is great, and then all you need is an explosia source tag on the object. So we'll just add one of those, and let's just back up a bit, and we'll press play, and that's it. Immediately, we have a result in the view port. Now, that was pretty easy, wasn't it? So with the barrier broken down, you can now explore the settings and improve the look of this…
