Jacob Swing shows how you can create, render, and composite a fireball effect right in your hand.
Blender is a one-stop-shop for 3D and so much more. A great example of this is this new tutorial from Jacob Swing. The tutorial covers creating a fireball effect using smoke, particles, and fluids in Blender, tracking them into the footage, and compositing the shot, all without leaving Blender.

So in this two part tutorial series, we go over how to use Blender to generate a fireball that can be tracked to any footage.” Part 1 of this tutorial goes over how to create the fireball inside of Blender. Part 2 covers tracking the fireball to the footage and compositing and color grading the render.
