do that, but make a few fire images, then instead of a sphere change it,never mind look at this



one of my little tricks, all you have to do is make the plain align with the camera,combine this with auras and you gotta good alternative to avi.

thanx dude, I use that kinda stuff alot, but I found it looks a little clunky unless you have a pretty high framerate and a good camera setup, other than that you cant tell the difference.

ps. the animation looks a hell of alot smoother if you use a few more images than you think you need
