Can any of my MoGraph pals recommend a book or good resource for learning how to create realistic looking fire in Maya? The book I had isn't working out and I may have to figure this out pretty quickly.

You have to simulate a reaction within a 3D container using fluids. I have Mastering Maya 2013...but I I'm working through the book and haven't learned how to do that yet. Try the Autodesk website? They have free tutorials in that area that might help. If not, see if you can find anything on Digital-Tutors.com, but there's a $45 monthly fee.
