Animated GIF flames with transparent background?

[Gaieus]

Thanks Ron, they are nice (and could probably go inside a fireplace) but I would (also?) need ones with transparent background so that I can imitate "standalone" fire as well.

This plugin looks really cool! I've been waiting for something like this. I'd like to see a finished example when you are done please Gai.

I can make you some if you need, and why was I not included in the beta testing of this amazing plugin? I feel abandoned.

That would be cool (I guess some particle animation from Vue or such?). Looking at the plugin, it does not even need to be an animated GIF but any kind of image sequence of jpg or png (I do not want to hassle with bmp).

Twilight can render the animation nicely. Now I wonder if a flame has smaller and bigger states and I set it as an emitter, will the whole lighting be dynamic, too?

See pm.

Here is my Campfire scene (logs from 3dwarehouse) + fire loop images:

Enjoy!

Thanks Jan!

(And Pete, of course - I already thanked that in the PM)

Does anyone have some decent, animated flame GIF's with transparent background? I could really use something (size wise) for

• fire place
• torch
• candle light
