Hello everyone and welcome to the Fire & Smoke Simulation Masterclass in Blender! This course is for anyone wanting to learn about how to create realistic fire or smoke in Blender 4.5.

It's specifically designed to take you from being a complete beginner to being able to create any type of simulation you want on your own. Starting out we'll first understand what the fire and smoke simulation is and how to use it on a basic level. From there we'll be jump into the settings and cover each one with side by side visual comparisons so it’s easy to understand. After that we’ll learn about the shading workspace and how to create smoke and fire shaders in both EEVEE and Cycles. To really help everything sink in there are 5 full tutorials in which we use the smoke and fire simulation to create some interesting animations.

The first one is all about creating mist in Blender. We’ll go through the process of changing the smoke settings to get that misty effect, add a light white material and render it out. The second tutorial is how to properly render fire in EEVEE. We’ll walk through the EEVEE render engine talking about all the settings and values to get realistic results.

The third tutorial is a campfire scene. We will first add the campfire model which is included in this course, simulate the fire and smoke, add spark particles, create materials and adjust render settings to create the most realisti
