theking648 0 Report post Posted November 29, 2006 Hello and welcome to my tutorial, I’m going to teach you how to make realistic fire!!!! this is how I figured it out, I was makeing smoke in photoshop one day, but i wanted color to be added to it, so I added some color balance to it and ""click"" it hit me.... it looked alot like fire. --I would rate this tutorial easy and on a scale from 1 to 10 of difficulty, I would say a 3 --this is how I did it. 1. first I started with a blank page.. duh it doesn't mater what the size is but I used 400 X 400 pixels 2. Ok, we got our blank document now were going to select the fill tool and fill the layer black. 3. Now grab the elliptical marquee tool and make and oval like the image below. 4. Now fill the oval with white. After it is filled click select --> deselect or ctrl + D 5. Here is where it gets rockey if you haven't got the above steps down well your in trouble, anyways select the smuge tool then make shore that the brush size is at 50px and hardness is at 50%. Click and hold your cursor in the black part of the image and with a medium speed sweep across the white oval. Repeat as many times as needed but leave a gap big enought for your brush. you should end up with a image like this 6. Ok I hope your still with me. Now with the smuge tool go over the gaps that we skiped in the same direction, and hopefuly you get a result alot like this 7. step 7 is not any differant than step 5 and step 6. Take the smuge tool and repeat the same thing you did in step 5 and hopefuly you get this 8. from what you have now you can contune the pathern if it don't look right or you can go ahead and color it. 9. now click Layer--> color balance and a window should open up..... now put the below settings in I WANT YOU TO PLAY AROUND WITH THIS because the settings I have wont be the same setting that you need after you played around with the setting you should have this you can also make it any color you want if your looking for a differant look; this is what I made from the above image... All I did was cange the brush size a little bit to make the fire thinner. and thats it I hope you liked this tutorial if you have any questions you can pm me or e-mail me from the link at my web site Happy painten Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
04dsmith86 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Very nice! I was having trouble at first because I made the oval in a new layer. It needs to be on the same layer as the black background for the color adjustments to work. I ended up recording the action so I can flameify (new word) anything. I played around with it some more and came up with a blue flame effect. I added some smoke and text and voila, nice little text-effect. Here it is: Edited January 16, 2007 by 04dsmith86 (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted March 30, 2008 This is what I've made. Add some grey in the middle of the smudged white blob to have this nice little darker effect in the middle. Just place a black dot and smudge evenly all through. This is the tip frm me. And hey I had tried more than 2 hrs to make fire effect LOL!! This one is really cool. -reply by Sathish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 8, 2008 Wow, I'm gonna sound like a douchebag by giving the first negative comment...It's not very realistic, if you have photoshop7 or higher:1. Create a small white sphere with the Marquee tool on a black background2. Use the wind filter (filter>stylize>wind) 3 or 4 times3. Use the gaussian blur tool (filter>blur>Gaussian)4. Rotate 90 degrees with the Free Transform tool (ctrl+t)until flames are facing upward.5. Use the warp tool in the liquify menu (ctrl+shift+X mess with it a bit)6. After you've got it to the way you want, click okay.7. Finally, create a new layer and set it to overlay, color the flame however you wish!Ta-the, this is also kinda based on your photoshop talents, but I have faith in you all -reply by Static Hell Scream Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
