Final Project Proposal

Fire

• Some photographs of the effect I want to capture:
  
  
  
  
  



• I intend to implement as much of the flame simulation as I can, or at least enough to generate realistic looking flames with some tweaking. Note that a long exposure will place less importance on the internal detail of the flame, and more emphasis on the overall color and boundary imperfections of the flame; this should make it easier to hack up a decent-looking implementation without getting it perfect. I'll implement volumetric lighting, or if I run out of time try using well-placed point sources.



• Relevant Papers:
  Physically Based Modeling and Animation of Fire. Nguyen, Fedkiw, Jensen, Proceedings of SIGGRAPH 2002.
  Structural Modeling of Flames for a Production Environment. Arnauld Lamorlette and Nick Foster, Proceedings of the 29th Annual Conference on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques.
  A Simple Model of Flames. M. Inakage, in Proceedings of Computer Graphics International 89.
  There are a couple others by Jos Stam and the like but they have way to much math to even consider trying to use.
