This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Introduction to Smoke Simulation in Blender 2.5

Twice a month we revisit some of our reader’s favorite posts from throughout the history of Cgtuts+. Today we’re taking a look back at Gottfried Hofmann’s introduction to smoke simulations in Blender 2.5. This tutorial was originally published back in June of 2010, and proved to be very popular with our Blender users. So if you missed it the first time, why not check it out now.

This entry is part 1 of 5 in the series Introduction to Smoke Simulation in Blender 2.5

In the second part of our invaluable, in-depth series looking at smoke and fire simulation techniques within Blender 2.5, Gottfried Hofmann shows us how to create fire! The incredible (and let’s not forget, completely free) result could be used as a flamethrower, dragon breath, a rocket trail…the possibilities are endless!

This entry is part 3 of 5 in the series Introduction to Smoke Simulation in Blender 2.5

In this invaluable, in-depth series we’ll be taking a look at smoke and fire simulation techniques within Blender 2.5, and who better to take us through this process than the man behind the official documents himself, Gottfried Hofmann. In the 3rd part of the series we continue to prepare the hi-res setup, and we also look at tips on saving baking time and how to keep the simulation stable. Prepare to be amazed at just what Blender can do for free!
