Clip showcasing my torch fire particle from Unreal 4.

Using the Sub-UV material below I created this flame particle with a torch fire as reference. There are also some embers orbiting the particle to create some subtle hints of particulates flowing off.

A reworked version of the Torch particle. I have taken it and widened the flames location as well as increased the amount of smoke and embers that are produced. I also added in a vector field from Autodesk Maya to better simulate the embers movement from a fire as the wood pops.

This material controls the embers that are in both particles. There is a dynamic parameter within the material that allows myself and other users to control the flicker amount on the embers.

Fire material that utilizes Sub-UVs and is enhanced via some UV and Macro-UV distortion through panning noise textures through the UV information. This distortion solidifies the very fluid-like nature of fire and helps to enhances the particles that utilize this material. This material was used for both the Torch Fire particle and the Campfire Particle.

Simple smoke material that was created first in Photoshop and then brought into Unreal 4. The material adds some noise information to the material in order to add alpha jitter through each sprite emission in the particle editor.

It has turned out to be quite resourceful in its possible uses. The updated particle is tapered more and actually produces flicks of light on the scene.

The candle flame material is just a basic radial gradient mask that I have added some panning normal distortion to enhance the heat distortion. It also allows for some variety within the sprites so that it is not entirely read as a flat entity.
