Fire on hoop?

Iam making a bike riding game, In which i want to make a fire on my tyres just ghost rider. I just cant get how can i achieve this. the first thing came into my mind was to spawn particles in a circle and pin them to tyres. but can't understand what properties whould i have to set for the particle. Please if anyone help me.

Hi bud,

I try and only use particles when I really have to. I have learnt to use animations more and I think in your case an animation would be a good option.

If you need help, I can do a simple flame animation using spriter for you :-).

I would need a seperate image of the wheel in png format.

Yeah sure.... if u do it for me it would be a greatest favor for me....I have attached image with the reply.

OK buddy, I'm just out at the moment but be back home tonight. Do you want the wheel constantly on fire and rotating? Also what type of flame do you want?

I want the tyre constantly on fire.... And if u have seen the ghost rider movie.... i need that kind of fire on tyres.... Right now i have spawned fire fire particles in a cirle... But it is not giving me a good look which i actually want.... I would be so gratefull to you if u will help me for this...

Dude, I am sorry, this is alot harder than I thought it would be. But if you want a pro, this guy is amazing and has helped me with animation, hes my go to. He would probably recreate it spot on with animation. He normally charges around 10-15 dollars for a straightfoward animation sheet.

MoonStars 2D Game Art < facebook him, you can see his work.

Hold on though, I will try again. I am not happy with the images above. I will try and find a better fire image and then try it with an effect. I'm sure I can do better.

I think the first image u have send, is looking better.... i dont want the exact fire but some similarity.... i will contact him as well..

I think part of the problem with the above examples is that realistic fire should always burn upwards - everybody knows that if you set fire to a stick and point the stick downwards the fire continues to burn upwards and heat your hands :) On the downward-facing parts of the wheel you have fire burning towards the ground, which looks weird.
