Chief Architect contains several fire materials, however, they are just flat images that are meant to be applied to surface. How can I create a 360 degree flame for use with a fire pit?
Creating a flame for a fire pit in Chief Architect is very simple. The first thing you need is a shape with only a few surfaces for the flame material to be applied to.
In this example we will create the curling flame shown above by applying a fire texture to a hollow cylinder.
Using this method, you can use different shapes to make your flame look however you'd like for your camera views.
