I have a different idea, so not going to build off of part one, assuming it works.
2 seconds - list of resolutions
2 seconds - list burns from the bottoms up, smoke and flames, turns transparent from the bottom up
2 seconds - view of beach, composite this behind the first one, so it becomes visible as the one above burns.
Lesson learned from. part 1, convert it to a gif early on to see how it looks. Strange having an idea at start, usually takes awhile to come up with one.
to do yet -
- make paper with resolutions, currently image off the internet, create in separate blend file and save image for use in procedural fire
- improve fire, the fire is procedural, the paper is turning transparent
- add smoke, particles or smoke or physics or none? Adjust speed of burn.
- create beach scene
- composite both scenes together
- test as gif
