This function has the supported visual effects types in SimLab Composer, which are suitable for VR workbench. Users can create two types of visual effects:
 
  • Create Fire: Create fire from various presets and control its color and smoke for stunning visual effects in your VR scenes and projects.
  • Create Smoke: Create smoke from various presets and control its color for stunning visual effects in your VR scenes and projects.

The fire effects let you create geometry that is camera-aligned. The objects always align to view default or connected camera. The plane geometry linked to the fire effects will rotate around the local Z axis to face the viewer. The fire effects are centered on the object (plane) which is linked to it.
 
 
 
To create Fire:
 
  • Go To visual effects menu » Click the Create fire button on it.
  • When setting the fire source for VR, the user has options for choosing the fire presets and choose (fire/smoke) color.
