Rockets are pretty cool, but smoke simulations can be a pain in the ass. That's why in this tutorial I'll show you how to create a Rocket Launch Smoke Simulation.
We'll be going over topics such as modelling our smoke effector assets. Animating several objects. Set-up a grass particle system. Creating a smoke domain and smoke inflow system for realistic smoke simulations, adding materials with the Blenderkit Material Library and setting up an HDRI and the Nishita Sky Texture to get it to look good.
I hope you enjoy it! See you in the next one.

Would you ever want to go to space? It's one my biggest dreams to go out there, see what's beyond and see our earth from space!

YES! It's so cool that they have commercial space flights now. It's too expensive now, hopefully it'll get cheaper in the future! Everyone should be able to experience space at least once in their life!

I remember watching Neil Armstrong on TV when he set foot on the moon & said those historic words "... that's one small step for man & one giant leap for mankind..... ". If we could at least view all of our planet from space it might help us appreciate it more, who wouldn't want to do that ? P.S Great tutorial by the way 😀 Stay safe & keep on smiling 👍🦘

Exactly what I mean. Seeing our small planet would give anyone more appreciation of the finite space and resources we have! I wish I could have seen Armstrong setting foot on the moon, live. Thanks for the support and glad you like the tutorial!

@@KaizenTutorials There was 2 very profound parts to the moon landing. 1) The picture of Neil Armstrong's boot print in the moon dust & 2) The picture of the earth from space. I doubt anyone had see the earth from space before that picture was taken. Kids around the world didn't dream of just flying anymore they wanted to be "spacemen". Have a great weekend 🍻🚀

It's an interesting tutorial, and I learned a good amount from this, but the Achilles Heel in the presentation is that the Blender Smoke Effects feature is very fragile, very brittle. It just doesn't work very well. The smoke effects will just stop working at any point in time. It happens most often after I've adjusted a few settings. I know I have have to enter Control-a Scale whenever the Smoke Domain is altered. I know I have to change and change-back the Resolution Divisions every time the Smoke Domain settings are changed. Even knowing that, it's not worth investing too much time in Smoke Effects, when all of my work can, and does, disappear at any time. But that said, still, thank you very much for this tutorial, I learned a lot. On to more Blender fun in the future! :)

@KaizenTutorials 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah I agree! It can get very good results but it’s also dangerous to lose your stuff. Best bet is to always cache it when you’re happy so you can’t lose it! Thanks for your point of view and happy you enjoyed the video!

I have the same 3.0 blender version but smoke won't show up in replay mode, I need to bake the whole sim in order to preview the settings tweaks and changes. Is there a way to fix that, or it's just how it is now? nice tutorial btw, for a noob like me it's really good.

@KaizenTutorials 2 жыл бұрын

You can also use modular to make it show up i believe! But you would need to bake it everytime yeah. There’s sadly no way around this, because that would require realtime simulations which are effectively impossible right now. Thanks for the compliment and good luck with getting the result you want! 🙏🏻

Hi, Im very new to blender and was wondering how you imported the grass thing in. I figured out how to import models as objects but I have no clue how to get them to show up in instance collection.

@KaizenTutorials Жыл бұрын

This is a free grass model I got somewhere from the internet. I imported it into Blender and then created a ground object. Then apply a hair particle system to the ground object, scroll down to the render tab and change it from path to object. Then select the grass object and tweak some settings like rotation etc and you should get something like this :-)

First of all this tutorial is easy to follow, though I dont understand whenever I plugin the Frame Starts at 40 since I want to start the smoke at frame 40 the Frames from 1 to 40 seems to completely fill the entire domain and just dissappear and starts at 40? Do you know how to fix this? Earned a sub tho!

Hello I have an issue when adding smoke domain. I resized it to fit the rocket 250th frame but the smoke doesnt follow the emitter but stays at the origin possition of the emitter, any idea what i am doing wrong? i am using blender 2.93

@KaizenTutorials 2 жыл бұрын

Did you make sure to parent your emitter object to the rocket? You can do this with CTRL + P. That should make sure the emitter object follows along. After doing that don't forget to delete your bakes, update your smoke domain (change some settings back and forth) and re-bake. That should fix it!

My smoke is really gray. do you know how I can change it to be more white? like steam?

@KaizenTutorials 2 жыл бұрын

The volumetric material that is added automatically to the smoke domain is set to a slight grey color. You can change it to a whiter color there. If you still want it to be more white you can add a very light emission in the same volume shader. Just to make it lighter. Also you could tweak it in compositing, but that is slightly more difficult! Good luck and merry Christmas 🎄

Hi it's me again. My fire starts slightly above the thruster and its too wide. It also looks really white rather than the black. Any tips?

@KaizenTutorials Жыл бұрын

Hey! The start point can be made closer to the emitter object by changing the surface emission value under the 'flow source' tab for your emitter. But by the sound of it you might just need to use a higher resolution for the domain. This will make it less wide, more detailed and will also have an impact on the way the fire looks. You can also tinker around with the fire temperature and the blackbody values in the shader to control the way the fire looks! Hope that helps.

Allright, so if I take a cube and scale to almost the exact size of my rocket the cube has a scale of X 2.475, Y 2.475 and Z 27.746. However if I just import the rocketmodel, the rocket scale is just already set to 1, 1, 1. But If you make a cube with the size as specified above and fit the rocket to that AND then apply scale with ctrl+A, you should be good!

Everytime I make a smoke simulation in Blender and if I increase the density…the big smokes looks like cubes lol

@KaizenTutorials 2 жыл бұрын

Have you increased the smoke resolution aswell? A smoke domain is basically a bunch of cubes each rendering a bit of the volumetrics. If you increase the resolution, you make the ‘cubes’ smaller, decreasing the voxel style (or cubelike if you will) look of the simulation!

@ex18ga24 2 жыл бұрын

@@KaizenTutorials Ohh I tried to increase it from 64 to 128…it worked but its really slow I hope they improve it soon. I thought I could get rid of the cubes using shaders like what I saw on a post online…idk how he did it he made it look high resolution even if it actually has 64 resolution only

@KaizenTutorials 2 жыл бұрын

Well 64 can work with enough vorticity and if you make it a small domain! In the shader you could try and add more detail and a falloff. But that’s pretty complicated. I would just try and increase the settings and (sadly) accept the slowness! Atleast you can be sure this way it will work.
