Ember ash
Burn a 3D object to charcoal and pale ash that the wind blows away in flakes, then un-burn it. A realistic fire exit effect.
Object effectSmoke trail
A moving 3D object leaves copies of itself that turn to smoke in its shape, billow up and evaporate.
Object effectBlast off
Crouch, then launch straight up and out of the scene — it comes back with a powered landing: falls in, brakes hard, hovers, touches down
Object effectCurl smoke
Turn a 3D object into soft smoke that swirls away in eddies, or keep it as living smoke in its own shape.
Object effectFly-by
Takes off, banks and flies past the camera — it comes back from behind the camera on the other side and sets down in place
Object effectHeat cracks
Crack a 3D object with glowing lava seams that sink into the surface and char it, while the glow breathes. Reverse cools it.
Object effectWorks well with
Smoke
Animated smoke materials: a rising column that curls into billows, or a twisting ribbon of wispy smoke. Translucent, endless, no code.
MaterialSmoke
A rising smoke column material: a thin thread that curls into billows and fades into the air, shaded by its own density. For chimneys and fires.
SmokePlasma Whip
A plasma whip cursor: a glowing tube of plasma lashes behind the mouse, longer on fast moves. For energy, gaming and sci-fi scenes.
CursorSmoke Plume
A buoyant plume following Morton-Taylor-Turner theory, with curl-noise billows, lit puffs and an optional hot base and crosswind. Use for chimneys, fires, volcanoes, engines.
EffectBurn Away
Letters cut from singed cream paper with smouldering embers; the erase is a combustion front travelling along the strokes leaving glowing edge, cracked char and ash. Use for dramatic reveals, titles and storytelling.
TextDying Ember
Dim charred coals, mostly cooled — heat only shows where the crust fractures
