Chapter 6. Playing with Fire

From a single match to a blazing inferno, fire is nature's mischievous child. Its presence is hypnotic. Its dancing flames, welcoming heat, and warm color fill you with a false sense of security. In an instant, fire can go from a life-saving instrument to a tool of destruction. Left to its own devices, fire would consume anything it came into contact with. This chapter uses fluids to build realistic fire, from a single flame to a house engulfed in flames.
