That is a really good flame. Was it all animated?

Cool flame Dave.
You could do that same thing with any ball for all sports right? I'm sure you already thought of that.....

Yes, it's all animated. And more sports coming. :)

What was the total time needed to create the flaming ball?
dnavarrojr 31 Aug 2011 16:48
Took me about an hour to set it up and cache the flame dynamics and about 3 hours to render 10 seconds.

ps. I have a 3.2 GHz 6-core processor and 16 GB of RAM. :)

Well jeesh there ya go...Bragging rights earned :)

I feel so alone out here with my single core 3.4 GHz 64-bit PC with 4 gigs of RAM. What a difference three years makes. That was when I got my fastest tower.

Did you create a new fire animation for this?
dnavarrojr 3 Sep 2011 10:38
Yeah, but only by accident. I deleted the cache for the previous fire animation and had to recalc it. Since I had to recalc anyway, I changed the random seed.
