Any ideas on what I can do about the fire? I'm using Pyrocluster right now. Would a mesh object be better? |

Personally I think both would work together, create a mesh that has the general outline of the fire, make it translucent and then add the stuff that you've done already. |

also try messing with the illumination settings in the modfy tab setting it to Bump and not Diffuse may make a difference in how realistic it looks, u may also want to try getting some masked fire images and using them |

Particles, perhaps?

You can also try the TLF Flame shader and see if it works in your version of tS

(this is an image I made using it in 1999, your pic reminded me!) |

Curiosity made me try the TLF shader in tS7.1, it works with a glitch. I wasn't able to choose TLF tabs in the color channel after I adjusted various options in color channel tabs. It's limited in appearance but still might be good as a fire basis in combination other suggestions. :) |

Thanks for all your suggestions. I've been playing around with this and this is what I have so far. Is the fire looking better?
I would have posted this sooner, but I lost almost a day of my vacation because some doofus decided to change some settings on the server at work, which screwed it up, and I had to go in and fix it. :mad: |

I would try your original idea of modelling the fire and using pyro for the smoke; keep the 2 separate much as they are in reality. As it stands it kind of looks like an orange cloud, maybe like someone dumped some water on the fire. and a puff of steam is coming out..
You could try using the advanced volumetrics to add some haze in the air, as I don;t imagine a castle would have decent ventilation.. gives it a nice atmosphere...here's some playing around I did (used PPFX for the smoke):
(incidentally the fire model is up for sale at $999 USD .. a bargain considering its breathtaking realism :rolleyes: ) .. The second pic is a little extreme obviously but thought I'd post it since I spent 20 min rendering it:D |
