Fire Place

From the Devs

Fire Place is for people who want the simple pleasure of building and maintaining a fire over the course of the night: something beautiful, complex, and soothing to watch, a living presence in your space with you.

Put Fire Place on that big screen in your living room during friendly gatherings, especially on cold winter nights. Holler at your co-hosts to put another log on when the fire starts to dwindle. Enjoy the crackle and the quiet flicker of warm light.

Fire Place comes with four basic environments: a northwest Forest, an old brick fireplace in Seattle, a bright Santa Fe stucco, and the Washington coast.



In addition, three artists have contributed a personal touch -



Look for the addition of new environments from featured artists as the season progresses.

Features:

• Balled up newspaper, logs of all sizes, matches.
  
• An iron poker and tongs for manipulating the burnables.
  
• A volumetric simulation of air heat and velocity.
  
• A beautiful and complex dynamic soundtrack by the award-winning Michael Bell.
  
• Simulation settings for values such as the ambient heat in the room, the rate of diffusion, the heat coming off of the logs, and more.
  
• Graphics settings that allow tweaking of the fire's rendering style.
