Why we like it

Fire Box earns its place for keeping things narrow and simple. It handles quick fire instances on everyday objects and leaves heavier Physics and Effectors work to other tools.

What is Fire Box?

Fire Box is an add-on from Velvum Inc for setting up instances of fire inside Blender. It is designed to be simple to use, letting you light a candle, a fireplace, wooden logs, or other objects you have in mind. You can also change the flame color to support fancy scenes.

The add-on stays focused on straightforward fire setup rather than more sophisticated work. It is not intended for use with Physics and Effectors, so scenes that call for that kind of simulation fall outside its scope. A demo video is available for anyone who wants to check whether it fits their needs before downloading.

Fire Box is compatible with Blender 2.8 through 2.93 and is distributed under a Royalty Free license. Documentation is included with the add-on. It stands out in the superhive library for keeping fire setup approachable, aimed at users who want quick instances of fire without stepping into physics-based simulation.

Who is Fire Box best for?

Fire Box is best for blender users who want a simple way to set up fire instances on objects like candles, fireplaces and wooden logs, without physics-based simulation.

How much does Fire Box cost?

Fire Box is completely free to download and use.

Frequently asked questions

Which Blender versions does Fire Box support?

Fire Box supports Blender versions 2.8, 2.81, 2.82, 2.83, 2.9, 2.91, 2.92 and 2.93. If you are running any release across that 2.8x to 2.93 range, the add-on is listed as compatible. Newer Blender builds beyond 2.93 are not listed among the supported releases, so if you are on a later version it is worth checking the developer's page before installing to confirm the add-on runs as expected on your particular setup.

Is Fire Box free to use?

Fire Box is listed as free in this catalog. It is distributed under a Royalty Free license, which covers how you can use the add-on in your work. Licensing and terms can change over time, so for the current details it is best to check the developer's page directly. If you want to confirm availability and terms before downloading, the developer's page is the right place to look for up-to-date information.

Can Fire Box handle physics-based fire simulation?

Fire Box is not built for sophisticated usage with Physics and Effectors. It sets up instances of fire for things like candles, fireplaces or wooden logs, but it does not aim to cover physics-driven simulation or effector-based behaviour. If your scene needs that kind of control, this add-on falls outside its intended scope. A demo video is available, and the developer suggests watching it to see whether the tool fits your needs before you commit.

Can I change the flame color in Fire Box?

Fire Box lets you change the flame color, which the developer notes helps support fancy scenes. Alongside color adjustment, the add-on sets up instances of fire on objects like candles, fireplaces or wooden logs. It is built to be simple to use rather than a detailed simulation system. A demo video is available if you want to check the add-on against your own needs before downloading it from the developer's page.
