Fire effect

There are many ways to do effects in games.. Do you want to use a particle system or animated sprites? (or both?) There are probably other ways too.

ATI''s RenderMonkey packages several effects you can use in DX9, provided your graphics card can handle pixel and vertex shaders. The Fire effects are pretty good. The ATI tools are free and can export to the DX9 ''.fx'' file format.

also there''s a fire sample on ati''s site that uses vertex shader 1 and pixel shader 1 to make the fire effect through textuer preturbation.
