Post by thespecial1 »

hey guys

saw a new ish movie last night called mirrors, amazing movie but it raised the question of just what method they are using to create the fire effects used in the movie. to me it looks like a fluid effect and is incredibly realistic.

ideaz anyone

Thats weird, this doesnt belong in the advanced help this belongs in off topic. Be careful where you post,

those effects in film might take several hours just to render a frame. cannot be done in real time tho.

Think of what was "real time" 50 years ago (nothing :P). I think it will be less than 50 years until current hour-long renders become real-time. My guess is 10, viewing where we've gone in the last 10 years.

Yes ten years at most.

If you just look at the Final Fantasy movie from 2001 and then for example Crysis you should get the idea of what can be achieved in real time today.
