Introduction to Cycles. Welcome to Cycles! Cycles is a brand new rendering engine built right into blender. It’s flexible, fast and above all else: produces more realistic results. Forget everything you know about lighting and rendering in Blender… the game has officially changed In this tutorial you will discover: The difference between the internal renderer and CyclesSome of the cool features of CyclesHow to create your very first Cycles renderUsing lights, materials, textures and bump mappingHow I made the donut scene Finished Result Mmm no calories More shots at BlenderArtists.org At a Glance Screenshots from the video: Further Inspiration Here’s some inspiring works from the Blender community using Cycles: Further Links Cycles is big news for Blender and I can’t wait to see what works come out of it.

Specifies how you want to use the frames of a multiframe layer. For example, if you are using a layer of a bird flapping its wings and you choose Relative for Time Offset Type with a Time Offset of 0, the flapping wings for all the instances of the bird are synchronized. While this may be realistic for a marching band, it is not realistic for a flock of birds. To make each bird start flapping its wings from a different frame in the layer, use Relative Random. Relative Starts playing the layer at a frame based on the Time Offset you specify, relative to the current time of the effect layer; then advances in step with the current time of the Particle Playground layer. Absolute Displays a frame from the layer based on the Time Offset you specify, regardless of the current time. Relative Random Starts playing the layer from a frame chosen at random, within the range between the current time of the effect layer and the Random Time Max you specify.

So I was going through VideoHive and looking at some past ‘top sellers’ and noticed a few projects with flame elements. Yes, people have done some fantastic flame simulations with Trapcode Particular and Trapcode Form, but how would you achieve a flame simulation without any 3rd party plugins and use only After Effect’s built in tools?
You’ll find out in my upcoming tutorial. Bare in mind that this is from a motion graphics standpoint, if you want realistic looking flames, check out Fumefx or use a 3D application like 3DS Max.
