School of Motion via YouTube

Overview

Explore the new Pyro fire simulation system introduced in Cinema 4D 2023.1 in this comprehensive 47-minute tutorial. Learn how to create realistic fire and smoke simulations natively within C4D, from basic setup to advanced techniques. Discover how to add Pyro fire simulations to objects, adjust settings for optimal results, and create interactions with other elements. Dive into smoke color options, utilize field forces and force objects, and master the art of stylized fire and smoke effects. Understand the importance of voxels and voxel size in simulations, and explore using Pyro with Volume Mesher for liquid simulations. Get hands-on experience rendering Pyro simulations with Redshift, including a detailed overview of Pyro volume material settings. By the end of this tutorial, gain the skills to unleash your inner pyromaniac and create stunning fire and smoke effects in Cinema 4D.
