## **Notes**

---

- The Setup a Fire [Quick Simulation](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAYA/pages/125765531) button on the Phoenix Shelf will automatically cover steps 2 to 5. It will also create a [Phoenix Turbulence](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PHX4MAYA/pages/125963098) object in the scene to add variation to the fire's movement.
- In some scenarios, the fog may appear to have spots, disable the **Use Light Cache **parameter in the **Smoke Color **rollout to fix this.
