Күн бұрын

100 million sand particles were simulated for this cinematic scene. This teaches you how you can import and export simulation between Blender and Houdini and many more small tricks in Blender. You can use this workflow between Blender and Houdini to anything you can think of.

Haha, it wasn't actually that bad. Frames took 3-5mins to render with my CPU. Unfortunately the scene just exceeded mine GPU VRAM for 1-2GB and thats why I had to use CPU.

pretty amazing but my brain says that the pulling being done by the arms is not 100% causing the body to move forward. The body is moving forward too much in spots almost as if it's being pulled forward but not by the arms alone. but that's just what my brain sees. The particles of sand were pretty amazing. that one towards the camera was really good. very nice!

@tomiviitanen 7 ай бұрын

Damn, I can't remember if I used the exact same size simulation than the default is in the project file. It was really close to that size anyway. Could it be so that the other pc specs plays some role in that process too? I dunno. Yeah and .003 was really on the edge with the hardware in my case so hard to say. Maybe you have some other programs open at the same time to eat resources?

You can do all this in Houdini for sure. It's just not the easiest software to learn. Blender is lacking top notch quality simulations but other than that it's a great software to learn 3D fundamentals. I would say Blender is all you need at least for the first year or two of your 3D journey.

Yeah, like Alexis said USD might work, but I'm not experienced with that. If not, then there's probably no way to do that. Alembic would probably work also excluding materials and lights.

@purpleparkstudios4124 11 ай бұрын

Great video! For the Eevee users if you import images as planes and want shadows and reflections make sure the image as planes is set to Alpha Hashed and Alpha Hashed before you import or you can change it in the material properties. Obviously enable screen space reflections and ambient occlusion.

@tomiviitanen 6 ай бұрын

I think this is a bug in Blender. I had to rerender some of the frames because of this as well. I think I had something around 7 frames out of 250 to render incorrectly. I think it has something to do with persistant data and motion blur. Usually it renders correctly on second try, if not then try to deactivate persistant data from performance settings and do the same for the motion blur.

Amazing tutorial, going to give it a go myself shortly. Just a quick question, when you did the gradient on the dome between diffuse and emission wouldn't that have negated the need for the second material for the dome? i.e. you could have the entire ground plane diffuse and a gradient into emission? or does it need to be a separate material?

@tomiviitanen 11 ай бұрын

You're right. There's no need to duplicate the material unless you wanna translate either of those individually. And even then you could do it inside one material but maybe it's more simple with separate materials.
