kevin32 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I have an image of a house I want to set on fire:I want to blend the flame effect in a way so it appears that the house is on fire in a natural way. The flame plugin I used doesn't quite give the image a natural look:Someone created a similar image and was able to achieve the effect I'm looking for. I've tried contacting him for awhile but still no response. It looks like he used a glow effect and put a flame on top with some smoke at the tips. I think he used Photoshop.I'd like to know either how to set the whole house on fire, or create flames on the roof, and make it look natural. Any tips for how to accomplish? Thanks.

pdnnoob Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Use Pyrochild's smudge plugin Quote No, Paint.NET is not spyware...but, installing it is an IQ test. ~BoltBait Blend modes are like the filling in your sandwich.

SAND33P Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Layers, gradients, and a smattering of blurs would get that effect once you got the right colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin32 Posted September 13, 2013 Author Share Posted September 13, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the tips guys. I used some spherical objects and smeared them around abit. Looks a little too smokey though. Edited September 14, 2013 by kevin32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Visual Posted September 14, 2013 Share Posted September 14, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the tips guys. I used some spherical objects and smeared them around abit. Looks a little too smokey though. Make about 5 layers. Just above the house put a smoke color you like. Above each other put some fire sections from a real fire image. You seem to be using blur a little heavily. Use smudge with a larger circle. Start to the side. Push towards the red/orange color and finish with an upwards stroke. This makes fire peaks. This is too hard with a small circle in smudge. Have each layer of the flames overlap. Blur and push around the smoke layer. It will be behind the other layers so you will need to move it farther. You may want to duplicate it and inset it between layer 3 or 4. This helps with depth. You can also just keep the smoke at the bottom layer and drop shadow each flame layer for depth using the color picker to match the smoke. Good luck. Try this [/url]"> You can select with the wand and while holding cntrl a couple red orange areas to copy and then past on a layer. Flip rotate for each layer of flames.
