Hi,
Does anyone know how to put a fire inside a hollow object (like a tube) and make sure the fire/smoke doesn't show outside the object? I don't want to scale the bounding box, because I want the smoke to be able to fill a larger area after it exits the object.
I've attached a picture showing what I'm trying to do. Picture the tube as a trash can, and I'm trying to constrain the fire inside the trash can until it comes out the top. I don't think I can do it just by scaling the fire source because the final object won't be straight up and down, it will be curved.
