AfterBurn

Along with FumeFX, it is a perfect tool for your VFX toolbox. It has been used on numerous movie projects including Armageddon, K-19, Dracula 2000, Flight of the Phoenix and more.

Workflow
AfterBurn pioneered many unique features to 3ds max atmospherics, such as intuitive user interface layout, custom gradient and AFC controllers, HyperSolids rendering engine, volumetric metaballs, volumetric Daemons, support for Rendering Effects and more.

Animation
Almost every parameter inside the AfterBurn UI can be controlled over the particle lifespan. Custom gradient and curve controls are available for more productive work.

Controllers
AfterBurn controllers enable you to vary parameters by particle age, particle velocity, distance from the emitter or any other object in the scene, Thinking Particles channel or Krakatoa float channel.

Preview
The preview window renders a single particle and allows for faster noise adjustments and look development.

Particles
AfterBurn fully supports built-in 3ds max particle systems and 3rd party systems such as cebas’ Thinking Particles.

Procedural Noise
With seven different built-in noise types (Fractal, Turbulent, Fbm Fractal, Fbm Turbulent, Rock, Smoke, Spots) and ability to use 3ds max 3D Maps as a noise source, an infinite variety of noise shapes can be created.

Daemons
AfterBurn Daemons are helper objects that affect AfterBurn and AfterBurn Combustion by altering noise and colour throughout the volume.
