I have always had an interest in simulating fire, and when I discovered a program called EmberGen, it allowed me to achieve the looks that I wanted to in a fraction of the time. When thinking of what to do first, I came to the conclusion that making something as simple as my logo on fire would be a great start. I took that initial idea and ran with it growing it in to what you see below. Responsible for simulation, rendering, camera animation, and environment modeling and surfacing.
