Our take on Fire Place
Its defining detail is the hands-on fire tending: newspaper, logs, matches, a poker, and tongs shape a virtual fire that can remain on screen through an evening.
What is Fire Place?
Fire Place simulates a fire for long viewing sessions during social events and chilly evenings.
Users prepare rolled newspaper and logs, ignite them with matches, then tend the flames using a poker and tongs. Four scenes are available: a forest in the Northwest, Seattle brickwork, Santa Fe stucco, and the Washington shoreline. Its volumetric system models heat and air motion. Controls cover room temperature, diffusion, log heat, and the fire’s visual treatment. Michael Bell provides an evolving soundtrack. The vendor plans to introduce more artist-created scenes as the season continues.
