Hey! I'm having an incredible learning experience, not only learning how Blender works (yes, still learning), but also about Open-Source and the incredible software available. Stick around!

Hey all!
I have quite a few tutorials in line, waiting to be done, but really felt led to do Mvr blaze's request and make a tutorial about animated fire on text. It was quite a unique challenge, which you will see when you watch the tutorial! The approach was super unique and in total opposition to my usual approach. GOD's ideas are always always always better!
Here is the video:
GOD is super!!!
- Why Volume? Initially, I didn't want to use volume. I prefer meshes and empties, because it is just soooooo much faster, but in this case, we need very perticular motion and effects, so it didn't make sense to take the mesh approach (having said that, there are times when that is a lot better and a lot more practical). While I was thinking about the solution to this problem, I felt GOD wanted me to use volume for this. I was apprehensive, because I had tried making volume look flat before and it just did not go well. It only made sense once HE showed me it's a compositing thing, not a material thing! haha. That was really the last hurdle for me. At this point, I had already tried a 2D compositor only approach, which, quite frankly, was not great, hahahaha.
