Hi, I am struggling to find a guide on how to create truly realistic fire. Every example that claims to be realistic fire, there is always an obvious sign it isn’t, even though the fire itself looks great. That is the light and shadows cast from the fire, I’m not sure why it seems so complicated or…

It’s certainly a challenge, I played with a few different lights, rotations, intensities etc and came up with the following…it’s okay?..

is realistic fire lighting/shadow possible?
