Hello,
I've currently been messing around in maya with the particle system built into it, and i've now wanted to try and make a similar system in blitz but i'm having trouble finding the information i want on different particles like fire, does anyone know where i can find proper physics information on fire and other elements that would be usuful to a programmer to try and make photo realistic fire? I've had a look round and only found one or two things that will partly help me with this like wot shape a particle of fire is, not can't find any other information, can anyone help plz.
Thanks
