Example projects are available to load from the Samples/Realman menu. The scripts are embedded within the appropriate material. You can un-embed and save the scripts for study or modification. fire_anim.r3d illustrates the use of curve and noise objects to create a volumetric fire material. Render the animation to see what the material produces then experiment with the script and develop your own fire effects.
threads.r3d showcases a flexible script for generating screw threads by surface displacement. The Script Options feature is used to select the thread profile.
