Abstract
Visual simulation of fire plays an important role in many applications, such as movies
and computer games. In these applications, artists are often requested to synthesize realistic
fire with a particular behavior. To meet such requirement, we present a feedback control
method for fire simulations. The user can design the shape of fire by placing a set
of control points. Our method generates a force field and automatically adjusts a temperature
at a fire source, based on user specified control points. Experimental results show
that our method can control the fire shape.
