 Fire

Sets up a simulation where the fire is directly emitted as temperature from the selected object(s). A PHXTurbulence helper is added to make for a more interesting fire behavior.

 Burning Fuel

Sets up a simulation where the selected object(s) emit fuel which ignites and produces smoke on burning. Drag particles are emitted from the Source, and then shaded as sparks embers using a Particle Shader, a Particle Shader | PHXFoam component with its Mode set to Point.

 Explosion

Directly releases temperature and smoke from the selected objects(s). Each object would also emit a different smoke color. Note that the discharge is animated in time.

 Gasoline Explosion

Sets up a simulation where the selected object(s) emit fuel which ignites and explodes with high-energy, gradually burning out and producing smoke. Note that the discharge is animated in time.

 Large Smoke

Sets up a simulation where the selected object(s) emit dense, heavy smoke.

 Cold Smoke

 Cigarette Smoke

The selected object(s) emit temperature that drives a fine, thin smoke. Drag particles are emitted from a Source, and then shaded using a Particle Shader, a Particle Shader | PHXFoam component with its Mode set to Point. A Discharge Modifier with its Modify Particles by parameter set to Normal Z is used so particles are only emitted upwards. Finally, a PHXTurbulence helperTurbulence is added to add more interesting smoke behavior.

 Candle

The object(s) emit temperature and form a smooth flame shaded with a specific fire color gradient.

The volume of the selected object(s) is filled with separate clouds which are animated to gradually move. The preset works by imprinting smoke in the simulator from a noise texture using a Volume Brush mode Source. The Brush Effect is pretty low, so the smoke would gradually appear over time. The noise texture is animated and it also offsets with time, so the cloud shapes would evolve over time and move. There is an additional Turbulence force added to the scene to break the smoke up, and also a Plain Force blowing against the direction of movement of the clouds. In order for the smoke not to fill up the entire simulator over time, Smoke Dissipation is enabled under the Dynamics rollout and it's a tug of war between this option and the Brush Effect of the Source during the simulation.

 Tap Water

The object(s) emit water with a specific surface tension.

 Milk

The object(s) emit milk and the liquid is shaded using the Milk preset of the VRayFastSSS2.

 Honey

The object(s) emit viscous honey. Note that the discharge is animated in time towards zero to show the specific coiling when the flow thins out..

Image Modified Liquid

Chocolate

 Blood Splatter

 Ink in Water

Each selected object emits a different color and weight of ink composed of drag particles. The particles are shaded using a Particle Shader, a Particle Shader | PHXFoam component with its Mode set to Point.  A  A Discharge Modifier with its Modify Particles by parameter set to Normal Z is used so particles are only emitted downwards. Note that the discharge is animated in time towards zero.

 Waterfall

The object(s) emit a large amount of water with splash, foam and mist particles. Three different Particle Shaders are used : PHXFoam components with their Modes Modes set to Bubbles, Splashes, and Fog respectively. A Discharge Modifier with its Modify Particles by parameter set to Normal Z is used so particles are only emitted downwards.
