think you pretty much just simulate one main part and fake the rest working solo at lest, ends up looking nice in most ppls stuff while not crashing their pcs

Yea, I’m using this method also mostly for spaceship engines. Depending on how close it is seen, it’s oftentimes enough to just use one singe plane, instead of multiple cylinders

@@mlt-studios The results are amazing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hNKgob2ips_ddZc.html

You definitly could. To be honest, I just used this method for adding some realisme to my Spaceship Engines, which wherent really seen closeup. So adding all that would probably be overkill. But yea, if you are going for a closeup, adding stuff like this will make it more believable.

One baby step at a time. We don't want a 20 hour tutorial.

Thank you very much!

I showed a small workaround for that at the end. But to make it proper, you need footage from that angle. Action VFX has something like that, from a lot of angles, including behind. But of course you need to buy that. If you find any free good footage, I would be interested in that as well.

@@mlt-studios thank you so much. I will have a look

When I googled how this thrust fire is called, I could not find a specific well known name. It oftentimes is just called Jet. That is why I put the arrow on the thumbnail, and also tried to explain what I’m doing in the very beginning. So that people can leave early on, if they don’t like it. Would you be interested in Modeling auch an engine? And if yes, what kind?

​@@mlt-studiosIn real life,that is "afterburner"

Great Method man! Love the way you do! And thanks for sharing skills! Subscribed!👍🏻💪🏻🔥

I would try a hue saturation value node and change the hue. Of course you then also have to change the Color in the multiply node

@@mlt-studios Great thanks, I'll give that a shot! I tried my off the cuff color ramp suggestion, and it changed all the alpha instead lol...

Im not quite sure I understand your problem. When you hit f12 and render it she’s are there? But once you save it, it is not? I noticed something similar with one her projects. Are you just rendering the flame? Then you could try to render with black background, and then use the add blend mode, wherever you need it.

I did not shoot the footage myself. I’m not sure where I got it from. I looked online, but could not find it, nor found anything similar. Which is why I put it in the description. So best not use it commercially. Action VFX has some awesome jet engine FX, but they are paid products

I‘m not exactly sure what you mean with movie style animation. You of course can use this method in you films. It might not hold up from too close, but for a lot of stuff this should be enough

Did you set the clip to cyclic on the image texture node? There should be an option.

yea i did that, but i figured out what was wrong, i messed up while setting up frames, ive put a big number haha, but i fixed it , thanks regardless !@@mlt-studios

Yea, I had the same problem when I prepared for the video. Not sure, how I fixed it though. You can send me your file over discord, then I can have a look. DerMalt#0547

Hahaha 🤣

@@mlt-studios good tut btw

A few other people commented something similar. I’ve posted a more detailed explanation to them. In short: This title is what people are searching for, not how to make a jet engine thrust (or something like that). That is why I mentioned it in the beginning, so that people won’t waste time watching the full video

Is it completely gone, or just very faint? Blender sometimes has problems saving semi transparent stuff. So things, that aren’t completely opaque nor transparent. Especially when you add glow in the compositor. I‘m not quite sure, what the fix is. Did you try out different file formats?

@@mlt-studios it's all gone but i only tried png sequence so I should try other formats

@@omarbinfarooq try 16 bit tif with rgba, or openexr

@@omarbinfarooq any luck?

Haha, okay. Good to know. I don’t know anything about that, it was just called “old turbine engine” on sketch fab and looked nice. That’s why I took it 😊

You mean the Apple? Maybe try this tutorial series, which is specifically for beginners. kzfaq.info/sun/PL3UWN2F2M2C8-zUjbFlbgtWPQa0NXBsp0

Yea, I tried that already, but could not get a similar realistic result. But that probably is due to my limited procedural node skills.

@@mlt-studios you would you the noise to wiggle the vertices along it's normals either up or down ill try it this week to see if I can get it to work

@@WelshGuitarDude ahh okay, so you mean displacement. I was thinking about creating procedrual engines exhaust with the shader editor.

@@mlt-studios yeah you could try that too with Musgrave noise texture node and scrolling the uv along the direction of the mesh

Sure. What do you want in the background? If you want to make it transparent, just go to the Render Properties tab, and under the film panel enable transparent. If you want to have a more in detail explenation, check out this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fdKDp7CLy8DOg6s.html

@@mlt-studios There seems to be only two options for me - background completely opaque or nothing at all, when I have a transparent shader or none at all. Translucent shaders partially work, but I you can still clearly see some random polygons with the big stupid white texture. But, to summarise, I can't get the background to disappear like yours, despite having a black background and everything pretty much identical. Here's the video I'm using: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ab2qirV_287bgmw.html

@roaling I just looked through my test renders, and it seems I had the same problem. I think the problem first occurs, when saving the render. That is probably why I added a background and rendered without transparency. I can’t really remember. A fix would be, to move the thrust into its own collection and render it separately in a new view layer. Then you would have a view layer with the engine itself and a view layer with the thrust. For the thrust layer, you would set the engine collection to holdout, while for the engine layer you would set the thrust collection to indirect only. Then you can render the engine with transparent background and the thrust with black background. In compositing you can then simply Add the thrust to the first image with the “add” (linear dodge) blending mode.

You mean with nodes and stuff? Using video textures is actually a way often used in the vfx Industry, which is why I wanted people to show that. Making it from scratch with nodes is probably harder to get a realistic result, but I would guess more flexible.

@@mlt-studios I misunderstood the tutorial then. That's my fault.

@@arbiter8246 no worries. If I would know how to do it realistically with nodes, I would probably use that method.

Can you describe the problem more precisely? What does not work?

@@mlt-studios It is not transparent on cycle but its work normal on eevve

You probably chose "translucent" instead of transparent bsdf

No. The engine model is a scan, I bought myself

@@mlt-studios Oh ok good job by the way

@@Ðogecoin thanks!

You hear correctly

Congrats! This method is meant as a lightweight alternative, that does not increase rendertime that much, and can be dublicated many times. For a closeup like this, simulation would give you a more realistic result. Provided you know how too, and you PC can handle it.

But can you make a tutorial on it?
