DND Fireplace Background

Another thing for that DND project I mentioned before.

Basically, I'm going to teach my dad how to play. I wasn't fully sure just how I wanted to set this up. I didn't know if I wanted to try filming it, or just do audio only and create visuals to go along with it. Since I'm doing green screen tests with my recently acquired equipment, I think it's probably pretty apparent I've committed to filming.

I've been working on this scene to use for the background. It will be out of focus in the final product, so I'm not overly concerned with minor imperfections.

Also, I figured out a way to make that fire effect work in Cycles. Mostly. Same basic technique, but applied as a volume shader. I've used this trick before to do clouds and smoke, but I've never animated it.
