Algodoo

Nicely done scene. It could be a useful tool for anyone needing fire and smoke in their scenes.

There is an issue that I personally have struggled with while making Algodoo fire, and that is the fact that air friction (especially its speed and direction) has a major influence on the behavior of fire and smoke (as it does in real life). A fire that looks correct in one scene may be totally unusable in another. I don't know of any way around that except to adjust fire parameters for each scene that has other than default air friction parameters.

I concur. All the fire scenes that I checked out were finely tuned for the desired outcome. This scene tries to mimic that but does not attain the realism of the original scenes.

I also noted that the fires were affected by changing sim.frequency. I try to remedy that in this scene.

this could make some tornado effect idk how but i just feel like thats a cool idea

or geyser

Yes, both are good ideas. A geyser may be easier than a tornado since a tornado needs some rotary motion. Maybe a top view of a tornado would work.
