The stylized fire shelf tool consists of a medium scale fire and particle simulation integrated into Copernicus to create a 2D stylized flame look.

Pyro simulation in the composite view. Color space: ACES, Voxels Size: 0.05.

Important Nodes ¶

copnet1

The 2D look is created using nodes and rendered inside the copnet1.

create_camera1

create_camera1 node provides a default camera with the setup that is used to generate the cop image.

integratevolume

The integratevolume node inside copnet1 integrates VDB layers into cops using a camera_ref input, which takes the layer from world space to image space.

To...	Do this
Enable/Disable frame drop	Set the Enable parameter on the switchif_frame_drop1 node to `0` to disable frame drop. When this is set to `1`, the Frame parameter on the timeshift_frame_drop1 node ensures the even frame numbers are on hold, creating a cartoon-style look.
Change the size of the layer	Adjust the Iso parameter on the monotosdf node inside the `copnet1` network.
Change the flame color	Adjust the Input Min/Max, Output Min/Max, and Ramp parameters on the monotorgb node inside the `copnet1` network.
