Blowtorch

[mike-britton]

Newb here.  I'd like to achieve a blowtorch effect like the attached.  I assume it would need a lot of fuel, a lot of bouyancy and no noise/jitter.  However, I've been having problems getting it to show cooler blue flame at the bottom, and remotely look like a blowtorch.

Can someone help me out?  I'll credit you and create a tutorial for this site if I make any progress. 

Thanks in advance,

Mike

I'm not sure I'd use Fluids for this type of effect - you might want to try layering incandescent particles, emitted from hidden geometry shaped roughly like the zones in your flame shape.
As I'm sure you're discovering, it can be tricky to get Fluids to do something specific, because you often have to invent or research the physics behind the phenomenon - it's often simpler to cheat to get the look. That said, you're going to learn a lot about Fluids in the attempt - good luck!

Hi mike.
I see your post now...
I create a test for you...

it's possible with fluid...

good luck.
