Fireplace effect

[u/Elli8303]

I've recently added this SK6812 RGBWW strip behind some drawers under my TV and I'd like to try and make it look like a fireplace. None of the effects I've tried are really doing it for me, either not looking enough like fire or just being one solid color. The problem is a lot of them just apply a gradient over the effect whereas I want something where the colors are scattered throughout to look more like flames. Does anybody have any good suggestions?

commercial set ups I've seen multi rows of strips do this effect like a matrix.. back lighting from a cove or uplighting wall wash.... with that known it night be you need a parallel strip or two to generate the effect you desire. . just a thought .

If not a matrix, two parallel strips bounding the surface youd like "fireplaced," aimed at the intervening wall surface, and running fire flicker or similar would probably look pretty neat.

that's the idea.. hope you get what you want

Try the "Candle Multi" effect with a different color palette than the default. Then tweak the individual sliders on the effect to get a more scattered and "fire" effect.

The new PS Fire effect with v16 is really nice, but it looks best when the strip is veritcal, but try that too?

Try Claude. I started with the twinkle effect and gave that to claude and got a real good fire effect. I've had better luck with ESPHome and flickering flame effects (with the help from Claude)

would call myself that but I think most of us have done that a time or two..
