Tutorial: Creating a Fireball in Blender

Smoke and fire! In this video we'll simulate a fireball using Blender v3.0.0 alpha, and render it with the brand new Cycles X engine. Learn how to create your own custom fire shader and how to apply smooth glow in the compositor! Stick around for some advanced tips at the end!
