Aatish FX Pro – Realistic Fireworks for Blender

Real fireworks, right inside Blender.

Aatish FX Pro creates realistic, physics-driven fireworks with Geometry Nodes. Pick a preset, click Create Fireworks and press play: rockets climb, burst, trail and fall the way real ones do, with smoke, glitter, light on your scene and real recorded sound. Every frame renders on its own, so there is no baking, no simulation cache and no waiting.

Works with Blender 4.5 LTS, 5.1 and 5.2, in EEVEE and Cycles.

Full tutorial:

• Physics, not sprites. Every star is launched, slowed by air and pulled by gravity, so bursts look and move like the real thing from any camera angle, even when the camera flies through them.
• Fast to use. One click makes a complete show with a camera, a night sky and bloom, framed in your camera view.
• Renders anywhere. Saved files render on any machine or render farm, even without the add-on installed.
• Everything in one place. Presets, festivals, text, ground crackers, sound, music sync and rendering, all in one sidebar tab.

Peonies, chrysanthemums, willows, kamuro, palms, crossettes, rings and planets, crackle and glitter, strobes, colour change, spirals, comets, mines, sweeps, finales and combos. Every preset has its own thumbnail. Browse by category, search by name, colour or style, star your favourites, or let Surprise pick one. Save any show as your own preset, with a thumbnail, in My Presets.

Thirteen festival collections: Diwali, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri and Dussehra, Independence Day, Eid, Christmas, New Year, weddings, birthdays, Valentine's Day, Lunar New Year and the 4th of July. Each gathers its shows, pictures and greetings, and a full show never mixes two festivals.

Text fireworks write any words in the sky with any font file, including Hindi and other languages, in one colour or as rainbow letters. Picture fireworks include hearts, stars, a diya, Om, Ganesh, Lakshmi, a Christmas tree, a cake and many more.

Anar fountains, chakri wheels, phuljhadi sparklers, mines, comets, fans and sweeps stand on the ground and can light up everything around them. Attach to Object puts any firework on a moving object, such as a sparkler in a hand or a fountain on a boat; sparks already in the air stay behind as it moves.

Every firework gets real recorded sound: launches, whistles, near and distant booms, crackle, fountains and sparklers. Each sound arrives late by its distance, at the speed of sound, gets quieter far away and pans left or right with its position. The sounds are placed in Blender's Video Sequencer, so they are part of your rendered video.

Choose a song and click Analyse: Aatish FX finds the tempo, the beats and the bars, and marks the bars on the timeline. Fireworks to Music builds a show that fires on the beat and grows with the loudness, with an optional finale. Any show can be snapped to the beat later.

Switch between Clean and Realistic in one click. Realistic adds glitter sparks, twinkle, stars that cool from white to red, falling embers and size variation, each with its own slider. Add smoke that drifts with the wind and haze over the sky, real lights at every burst that colour the ground, water and buildings around them, and camera looks for Video, Cinema or a Long Exposure photograph.

• Edit every firework in a list: its time and its preset. Add, remove, jump to it, or snap it to the beat.
• Recolour a whole show, shuffle colour combinations, or go back to the preset colours.
• Change brightness, size, start time, show speed and variation.
• Advanced: gravity, ground bounce, trail quality, a fast viewport mode and a Solo Firework view.
• Split a show into one object per firework, or merge shows together.

Not just the night sky: grinder and welding sparks, fire embers, fireflies, magic dust and floating dust, with buoyancy, wind and turbulence, for any scene.

• Formats: MP4 with sound, ProRes 4444, PNG or WebM with transparency, or OpenEXR.
• Sizes: 16:9, 9:16 (Shorts and Reels), 1:1 and 4K in one click; the camera moves so every firework stays in frame.
• Batch: render several formats in one go, or one clip per firework or per show.
• Backgrounds: night sky, black, transparent (for compositing) or your own world. Bloom glow, firework colour and reflections in one click; motion blur in Cycles.
• Game engines: export any firework as a sprite sheet.

Motion designers, VFX and compositing artists, architectural and product visualisation, festival, wedding and event videos, social media content, music videos, and game developers who need firework sprite sheets.

• Blender 4.5 LTS, 5.1 or 5.2. Tested on 4.5.5, 5.1.2 and 5.2.2 (Windows).
• EEVEE or Cycles, on CPU or GPU. For close-ups, Cycles on a graphics card draws every spark perfectly round.
• No internet connection, account, registration or extra downloads needed.

• aatish_fx_pro-0.1.0.zip, the add-on.
• 251 presets with thumbnails, 27 real sound recordings, festival pictures and greetings.
• A complete User Guide inside the add-on: click the ? button in the Aatish FX panel. It works offline.
• An 8-minute video tutorial that explains every feature step by step:

1. Download aatish_fx_pro-0.1.0.zip (don't unzip it).
2. In Blender: Edit → Preferences → Get Extensions → ⌄ (top right) → Install from Disk…, and pick the zip.

Does it work in EEVEE and Cycles?
Yes, both. EEVEE is the fastest. For close-ups, Cycles on a graphics card draws every spark perfectly round.

Which Blender versions are supported?
Blender 4.5 LTS, 5.1 and 5.2. It was tested on 4.5.5, 5.1.2 and 5.2.2 on Windows.

Does it work on macOS and Linux?
The add-on is pure Python and Geometry Nodes, with no compiled parts, but it has only been tested on Windows so far.

Can I render my scene on a render farm?
Yes. The fireworks are saved in your .blend file, so it renders on any machine, even without the add-on installed.

Is the sound included in my rendered video?
Yes. The sounds are placed in the Video Sequencer and are mixed into MP4 renders.

Can I use the renders in commercial work?
Yes. Your renders are yours to use. The sound recordings are CC0. Six animal pictures (dragon, dolphin, elephant, unicorn, eagle and swan) are based on CC BY 3.0 icons from game-icons.net; if you publish fireworks made from those six, credit game-icons.net.

Can I make my own presets?
Yes. Select a show and click Save as Preset in Tools. It gets its own thumbnail in My Presets.

Can I write text in Hindi or other languages?
Yes. Text fireworks can use any font file, so any language that font supports works.

Can I composite the fireworks over my own footage?
Yes. Choose the Transparent background and render ProRes 4444, PNG or WebM to keep the transparency.

The viewport is slow with a big show.
Keep Light Viewport on (Selected Show → Advanced). The final render always uses full detail.

I have Aatish FX Lite installed.
Disable Lite before installing Pro; Pro includes everything in Lite.
