Phoenix Fire & Smoke FX Course by RedefineFX Information

Phoenix Fire & Smoke FX Course by RedefineFX (Jesse Pitela) is a comprehensive training program designed to teach users how to create professional-level fire, smoke, and explosion simulations using Phoenix FD.

Upgrade your visual effects skillset with realistic simulations of fire, smoke, & explosions

LEARN HOW TO SET ANYTHING IN 3D ON FIRE

• Gain complete understanding of every Phoenix FD fire & smoke simulation parameter
• Learn from a Phoenix FD Certified Trainer
• Master the software used on shows such as Game of Thrones
• Understand the difference between temperature-based and fuel-based burning
• Control the look, movement, and scale through massive vorticity and other settings
• Setup variety of effects from small scale to mid-scale to massive
• Add dust to tyFlow Destruction Setups
• Use particles to drive smoke and fire emission
• Combine liquid and fire simulations together for unique visuals (pouring gasoline on fire)
• Create a realistic fire shader using the Volumetric Rendering Settings
• Use helpers such as Wind, Plain force, Turbulence, Body Force, Vortex force and others to influence the simulation
• Use textures for gradual burning effects
• Learn through fun project-based lessons
