Workflow GIF for "Freetime Fire Study"

I get asked for process videos, so here's a start! I hardly ever just sit down and bust through a GIF so it's tough to record it. Instead, I made sure to save off versions of this fire study at each major "step" of the way so you can see how I go from nothing —> fiiiiiiire!

This was my 2nd attempt at animating fire by using spheres as a motion guide, and I highly recommend it. It is SO helpful. Let it be known that the 1st attempt was pretty terrible, haha, so stick through the first few discouraging attempts.

Please let me know if these things are helpful :)
