The fire you saw demo'd by Coryphaeus is available as a dwb file. If you
have pfdwb.c v2.2 ( which is unlikely coz only v2.1 is shipped with the
current release of Performer) then this can be loaded directly and
you will have animated fire, exactly as you saw in the demo. Smoke will
be available shortly.

The only code you need to write will be to call LoadFile and perhaps
the addition of a matrix if you want the flames somewhere else than the
origin. Recompile with pfdwb.c (v2.2) and thats all.

pfdwb.c and flames.dwb are public domain and are available freely to anyone
who wants them. Email me at
