Blobby Fire render

I am pretty new to Maya fluids and currently I am having some problems with the settings?

Basically, I have an animated snake, and I am trying to make the snake on fire.
As such, I am using Maya fluids, in which I used the snake geo (did a geo cache) and make is as Emit from Object

Though I am using Maya Software to render, my fire seems more like a blob, rather than those fire kind of effect (like ghost rider, for example)
Adding on, I am not using any Fuel in my setup

Or is this just the software render issue?

A good starting point might be to look at some fire examples in the Visor. MMB drag them into a new scene and check out some of the parameters and results. It's a lot easier than starting from scratch.

Hi stwert, I have a question though. The elements in visor, aren't they more of 'painting' rather than the actual fluids?

I mean, for example, I am trying to replicate the flameCoarse in the visor. But what I am seeing is 2 items - paint stroke and curve. I tried looking into the parameter within, correct me if I am wrong, but I am hardly seeing anything that may be of help should I be back to using fluids

Make sure you're looking at the Fluid Examples tab, not the Paint Effects tab.
