Sparkler effect

[stezza]

Is it possible to create a sparkler firework effect with phoenix?

Can you show us some references on what you're after?

Something that will give a similar effect as a hand sparkler, I need to be able to get an effect like this into a Maya vray scene which will effect reflections.

Hello and thanks for posting.

This kind of effect is best achieved by using a particle system. You can emit some particles in all directions out of a tiny sphere that is animated along the stick. You can use a spawn operator to make some trails out of the original particles. And then another spawn for the smaller sparks. After that you can use phoenix to emit some smoke out of the particles.

Hope that helps. Cheers!
