This is awesome! If you want to change scale all at once, not x,y,z individually. Click and hold in the x value box, drag down to the z box, all will highlight. Then all 3 will change when you type your value.

Thank you. And thanks for the tip. I didn't know that. I'm not that familiar with Blender shortcuts. I appreciate it.

By “flip book” if you meant like a preview of the simulation. Then if so, you need to bake the simulation. Then go to where it says “view” on the top left (next to where it says “select, add, object”). Then click “view port render animation”, let it render that real quick. Then go to “render” on the top left. And click “view animation” And you should see in real time how the simulation is looking. And to see the shadows and just a bit more of the simulation you can add a “sun” just to see how it’s looking. Love your videos man, you’ve upped my game. Specially with the material for a realistic fire ✌🏻

Hey I love your tutorials, they're the best smoke/sim ones I've ever seen. Just a suggestion but It'd be really great if on the next video you enlarged your UI by changing the 'resolution scale in the preferences>interface menu from 1.0 to something like 1.5. It'd make the settings so much easier to see. Or just capture a smaller window size. Right now trying to follow what you're doing on a laptop screen is nearly impossible -- also a 1080 capture gets very blurry. Ideally a higher-res screen grab would help too. Thanks so much for these.

I don't know why 3D programs don't have the presets set up so you can just drop in and have the smoke look great to begin with...

@TDLR_Infographics True that, Houdini has been doing that for a couple of versions now, Maybe Blender will too. One day. :)

There are the quick effects underneath the options. But, at least you can make your own preset. Can always drag it into another Blender project later and tweak that. Probably a good idea to do it once anyway, just to know how it works yourself.

Very nice thorough tutorial! I have one HUGE recommendation. Given the quality of your voice and microphone, you NEED to have closed captions as an option for those who are hard of hearing. At least try to get some auto- or community-generated captions. Seeing the greyed-out CC button was the biggest challenge I had to watching this video. I have to mentally steel myself to handle the audio quality.

@resilientpicture Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I appreciate your recommendation. I am confused as to why you dont have CC option available because when I watch it, there is definitely an option to have CC.

Woah this is dope. Thanks for putting this out, i will for sure buy this in support. Would be interesting if this could be applied to tracked live footage, say for instance smoke out of the barrel of a gun. Would require some modification though

@resilientpicture Жыл бұрын

Thank you. I'm sure you can, the basics are exactly the same, except the camera will.be tracked etc., Since it's a gun, you may need to scale smoke as required. My understanding is that Blender is very sensitive to scaling.

Thanks for the video. I’m trying to get it like yours and I followed all the settings but the issue I always have with blender is that it’s slow to preview all the settings to be able to see what effect changes in settings have. I’ve got a quick pc too. So you tend to go over and over tweaking settings without knowing what they do. Then you render and it takes ages to come up with an output file then you realise there are things a little wrong and you are back in the merry go round again. It would be so much easier if in blender you could see things rendering in good quality in real time because then you would know what the effect of each of the settings will have when you know what effect they have

@resilientpicture Жыл бұрын

It's very true. I try to keep the sim settings tryout as close to the final resolution that way we won't be disappointed with the final result but this also means waiting a lot for the sim to finish and then figure something is wrong and tweak it and try again. I tried my best to explain settings. It's not easy to record and show all the changes per setting modification as it takes time to do the tutorial itself. I did that for a fire tutorial in houdini and man that took forever. I can't imagine how long it'll be for Blender. But I appreciate the comment. I'll try better next time. All the very best to you.

My smoke has some obvious banding and stepping issues. I tried high resolution division, high sampling step and noise or no noise. I just can't get rid of it. It's really driving me crazy.

@resilientpicture Ай бұрын

Hmm, Not sur what's happening there, usually its resolution issue. Maybe check the scene scale & modify if possible. Hope this helps.

Great job! However why smoke spread out first 40 frames? Can I increase these frames?

Thank you. The physics itself is that way, however if you were to not have collision then it wont spread out that much. Hope it makes sense

@sarukravitz4981 2 жыл бұрын

Why the need to repeatedly reset the Domain Type in the Fluid settings to Gas (such as at 6:00)? Does this flush the cache or something? It would seem that settings are a parameter that should be remembered by the application. (As a newcomer to Blender, I was super happy to find this series but some things about this application bend my brain.)

@resilientpicture 2 жыл бұрын

@Saru_Kravitz Thank you for your kind words. You are correct, it flushes the cache, hence you need reset domain to do that at this moment in time. However Houdini for example if you return to first frame it'll reset the cache, It depends on the software, All have their own way. Hope this helps.

Great Tutorial! However, how do you replace the monkey with TEXT and add the collision FX like you did so the smoke bounces of the monkey?

@resilientpicture 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you. Hmm, I am still familiarising myself with blender, However in general for a collision to work it needs to be a whole object meaning it should be a fully cosed polygon. In Blender you have an option to use planar, Maybe if you just replace Suzanne with text and when using collision check the planar checkbox. Hope this helps.

@@resilientpicture In my humble opinion, a perfect understanding of 10 things (controls) is absolutely necessary before one can blow smoke!~ Actually, I made the text as an SOLID in Rhino, exported as an OBJ, then opened a new Blender window, imported it, than copied and pasted it into my original scene into a new COLLECTION, then for good measure, if necessary, I can convert it in Blender into a MESH. The specific key settings of interest: (1) HDR (2) Background Image (3) Smoke Color (4) Smoke Density (5) Smoke Velocity (6) Smoke Turbulence (7) Smoke Transparency (8) KeyFrame animation of the (subdivided icoSphere) 'Smoke' object, insomuch, that it darts around the Smoke Domain (9) How to set the length of the smoke, adjusting it to perfectly fade out at a designated place in the Smoke Domain (10) Best high-quality rendering in transparent, (PNG output?) If I may it would be interesting if you were to do a LIVE seminar, I think your work is beautiful and your teaching method is a pleasure to follow, making a difficult program like Blender, 3.0 easy to learn. The Add-on 'Simple-Text' is useful, too. Keep up the good work, cheers to you and BRAVO!

@resilientpicture 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for your kind words. Unfortunately, I'm not yet ready for live seminars because I'm still a newbie with blender. Most of the techniques I use are from my Houdini experience. As to the 10 points, it's true you need to have a good understanding of these elements. Although I'm not that familiar with blender I have made some tutorials in Houdini in which I cover some of these aspects. You can get a free apprentice version of Houdini which I believe is not restricted. And then you can transfer that knowledge over to blender. Hope it makes sense and thanks again. Its much appreciated.

The result looks great, but unfortunately the way to get there is not very well explained. In many places you are too fast. Always remember, there are people who are new. A good explanatory video can take longer. It would have been good, for example, to activate the display of the buttons and to mention them briefly. This may be clear for a professional, but it is important for people who are learning Blender, as they consolidate their knowledge through repetition. It's not a good thing when you're more busy stopping to rewind the video and trying to keep track of everything.

@resilientpicture 8 ай бұрын

I appreciate what you are saying, I try my best to explain how to achieve this specific result as detailed as I possibly can however I don't explain the fundamentals of the software because that would be a never ending tutorial. I can only suggest to keep trying and it'll be a breeze after a few attempts. I have now added key strokes to my videos though. The latest one has it. Hope this helps.
