making dragons flames problems

thomaslisle1309 — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 14:33:58 GMT

Hi there I hope someone could kindly point me in the right direction

I have a dragon rig

I have added a plane as an emitter and linked it to the dragons head

I have set the initial speed to 1000

and direction to 1 in x smoke comes out along x axis I want it to follow the planes normal direction -

I can't find anything on how to do that - can anyone point me in the right direction?

even if I set x1 and Y1 it doesn't come out at 45 degrees

cheers Thomas

Hello. Can you clarify if you are trying to create this effect using Bifrost Liquid/Aero or inside Bifrost Graph. Thanks.

hI. I have sorted it it thanks thanks fro reaching out I started with the breath example on the bifrost browser - then added combustion to that and speeded up the output added an emitter and I have something really not bad, my flames could be better and I im still only a beginner at bifrost graph - I wish you had hundreds of samples of graphs which showed how they all work, together to achieve different results - it would be so helpful cheers Thomas

I totally agree. We need more sample files.

I would love to see a dragon fire or flame thrower one.
