Mattistic Flame parameter overview (AE version)

The following list gives a basic description of the available parameters of the Mattistic Flame plugin for After Effects organized by category.

General

License status: Opens a window to view the license status and activate a license (requires an internet connection).
Use GPU: When enabled the plugin will try to use the graphics card to greatly accelerate rendering (requires CUDA or OpenCL).
Blend method: When replace source is enabled the source is completely replaced by the image output of the plugin including the alpha channel. Can be used to apply the plugin to a solid and compositing it manually.
voxel resolution: Affects how many voxels are generated which determines how detailed the end result will be. Every step doubles the amount of voxels. Higher values lead to longer render times.
samples/voxel: How many samples to take for every voxel a camera ray passes through. Increasing this can help reduce sampling artifacts.
dim. X/Y/Z: World dimensions of the volume before scaling.

Time

Camera

motion blur: The amount of directional blur applied to fast movement. This is not true motion blur but an approximation applied as a 2D effect.
exposure: A scaling factor for the brightness of the rendered image.
white balance: The temperature in K that is considered white. Higher values add more red/orange tones to the image while lower values add more blue.

World

Smoke

color: The color of the smoke when illuminated by a white light.
absorption: A scaling factor for how quickly light is absorbed by the smoke as it shines through it.
density: Scales the density of the smoke. This also impacts the brightness of the flames as some smoke is needed for the flames to be visible.

Fire

heat: Scales the temperature of the fire. This influences both the brightness and the color of the flames. The actual brightness also depends on the smoke density and fire brightness parameters.
brightness: Scales the brightness of the fire. The actual brightness also depends on the smoke density and fire heat parameters.
saturation: The amount by which high values in the rendered image are desaturated.
blue core: How visible the blue part of the flame is. Not influenced by the smoke density parameter.
transition: The exponent of the transition towards the surface of the flame. Higher values lead to thinner flame surfaces.
dissipation: The exponent of the transition away from the surface of the flame. Higher values lead to thinner flame surfaces.

Shape

scale: World scale of the volume.
rotation: World rotation of the volume around an upward pointing axis.
wind X/Y/Z: Mimics a wind effect displacing the flames as they rise. The strength is set independently along the X, Y & Z axes.

Look

fuel mask: A layer input of which the pixel values determine the height of the flames. The image is stretched to fit the bottom of the flame volume.
random seed: An initial value for the random number generator used to generate the turbulence and fuel variation.
turb. scale: The scale of the turbulence. A higher value will create smaller details making the flames appear larger.
turb. strength: The amount by which the turbulence effect is applied to the flames.
fuel multiplier: A scaling factor for the fuel source.
fuel variation: The amount by which a noise pattern is applied to the fuel. Can be used to separate a uniform fuel source into smaller individual flames.
