I've been trying to animate fire, but can only seem to get still images of it with the regular rendering stuff. As most of you know, when you take an object and apply fire effects to it, you get green spheres when you play the animation. I want to see the actual fire in motion. PlayBlast, hardware Rendering, and Batch Render are incapable of completing this task. As said before, I can only see the fire if I render a still shot.

SO, if maya is not capable at all of completing this task, can I buy some program to play my animations? What are the best products out there? Thanks.
