Scene using fire
Use Fire to produce animated fire, smoke, and explosion effects. Possible uses
for Fire effects include campfires, torches, fireballs, clouds, and nebula.
NOTE In earlier versions of 3ds Max, Fire was known as the "Combustion effect."
You can add any number of fire effects to a scene. The order of effects is
important because effects near the bottom of the list are layered in front of
effects near the top of the list.
Each effect has its own parameters. When you select a fire effect in the Effects
list, its parameters appear in the Environment dialog.
Fire renders only in Camera or Perspective views. Orthographic or User views
don’t render Fire effects.
TIP Fire doesn't support completely transparent objects. Set the transparency of
Fire objects accordingly. Use visibility rather than transparency to make Fire objects
disappear.
