I HATE tutorials without voice, BUT if they were all done at well as this I wouldn't. Excellently done. No waste. Just the necessary info. Wonderfully done.
i tried to follow this. i really did. but with the latest blender there are alot of changes. and they domain will not render without baking it each time. and the settings i could follow do not behave at all in the same way. i also have a beefy pc and rendering this is 320 divisions is terribly slow. if you could update this that would be great
I'm not sure what the exact minimum requirements are, but I'm working on this setup: 16 Gb of RAM Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti GPU
Hi Iago Mota, I saw the 25 smoke simulations video I very liked it, do I tried to make some simulations by myself, but i always get strange artifacts while rendering. I explained more on this question onStackExchange: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/76126/strange-lines-in-smoke-rendering-with-cycles I saw that you haven't got any of these artifacts in your simulations, have you got any advice?
Thank you. Those smoke artifacts do happen to me as well. Unfortunately, there isn't a specific thing to do that will completely remove these artifacts. They're usually caused by many different factors. But here are a few things (in no particular order) that I usually do to reduce them: 1. Increase the divisions. 2. Scale the domain down, so that it is as close as possible to the size of the simulation. 3. Add force fields. 4. Animate already existing force fields, eg: the rotation of a turbulence field. 5. Experiment with the vorticity of the smoke. (Lower values tend to have fewer artifacts.) 6. Use Smoke High Resolution. I see you're already using it. 7. Experiment with the strength of the noise in Smoke High Resolution.
Thank you for your answer! the problem is that I have increased the divisions to 512 and the resolution to 4. I can't go higher than that, I will try to play around with the factor that you sudgested me and I'll try to fix the problem, thank you again for your help!
Most of the settings exist in 2.82. High resolution is not available anymore. Instead Noise has it's own drop-down-menu. some values have been moves elsewhere, but can be found quite quickly. I noticed that my simulation totally glitches on me whenever I try to change values or scrub the timeline. On top of that I seem to have a baking problem, since the "baked" animation still needs 0.1 fps during playback. I'm not sure whether blender or my computer is to blame. I can't turn the values of vorticity and the turbulence force field that high, because it blows off my clouds completely. I figured working without them results in a better flow behaviour. The smoke trail looked good and similar to what can be seen in the video. However, I couldn't get the smoke flow to work. Not sure if this is the result of an unsuccessful baking, or if my whole software is just breaking on me. I just couldn't get it to work. I tried this in 2.79 to see if it works better, and while the workflow was much much smoother and faster, the cloud's behaviour was totally different to what can be seen in the video. They rise too quickly, they fall too much, vorticity is blowing them up too much and the turbulence is blowing them away with the settings that the tutorial provides. I'm not sure how he did it, but it certainly barely works for me - no matter the software.
Thank you for this tut! I do have 4 ideas that Ive been wanting to do and thought would be fun! Any Harry Potter theme with the clouds, the GhostBuster theme with the ghost, World of Warcraft logo and the theme egg from the movie Alien with Sigourney Weaver! Been wanting to do all of them but just not sure where to start.
This is Brilliant. I've done basically the exact same thing in an animation of mine but can anyone tell me where to find his previous video so i can Texture. Thanks again.
My system can't handle this!!! How much money did you spend on your PC!? I spent 1000$ to build mine, and it's pretty beastly. But it can't handle a super hi-res smoke sim plus 2 particle sims. That's just insane.
EarthEaterEE I'm not entirely sure what could be causing it, but make sure you aren't using any child particles. They don't seem to behave correctly when using the particle-info node.
This is a short animation but still I would expect this to take at least 10 hours to render on my set up. Probably a couple hours to cache. I wish to god I could get over that bottleneck. I don't understand how anyone renders anything when it takes so unbelievably long to see the results. It kills me. I can't even imagine how to overcome this without a room full of nothing but mobos and processors running around the clock popping breakers with the amount of power needed to keep them all at 100% usage. This is why god made autism.

Usually dislike voiceless tutorials but this is better than most voiced tutorials, and thanks for only going over the essentials
Beautiful as always!
Definitely enjoyed the vid. Would love to see an updated version with the newer version. Thanks for the vid!
Man!!! I watched 3 video of yours in a row INCREDIBLE!!!!
It's awesome that you make videos about particles in Blender because those are very rare and yours a very
good. Thank you.
Superb tutorial in all respects. I got a lot from it, Im new to instancing had no idea before this. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks a lot. I like the way you represent the tutorial. Very clear to understand. Wish your great success.
amazing tutorial and really proffesional.nice to have people like you in the blender community
absolutely stunning. I'm impressed
Very beautiful effects!
i tried to follow this. i really did. but with the latest blender there are alot of changes. and they domain will not render without baking it each time. and the settings i could follow do not behave at all in the same way. i also have a beefy pc and rendering this is 320 divisions is terribly slow. if you could update this that would be great
i just figured out how to do it in the latest blender version. or somthing really close. and its more optimized so its not as laggy
oh yes !!! I was waiting for this !! thank you 😃😃😃
Really good particle tutorial, please make more
can cycles render smoke with gpu or do you render with cpu?
Thank you! Cycles (at least in Blender 2.78) can render smoke with GPU.
Yes but only for Nvidia cards, you can not render smoke and fire on AMD GPUS as today May 15 20217
now with 2.79 you can.
Kimera i see you’ve come from a far distant time traveler
Love this video. Thank you!!
Great work, keep it up!
Man, you are amazing
Thank you so much!
Nossa acho massa demais animações com particulas , belo trabalho.
i need help when i click quick smoke domain box just turned to black plzzzzz help me
How can you possibly just press play? I have brand new parts and I still get .95 fps when you just breeze through it at 2:29
love this. great tutorials about particles! now i need more RAM! with 8gb cant do anything!
What you need is a big CPU for simulations. I have 16 gig RAM and it's not even being touched by Blender during playback. But my CPU is at 100%
First of all -thank you !!! :) ... Second.. can you do this tutorial for 2.9 Blender? Please.
Thank you for the tutorial! i really like it!
Do you think this is possible following a bezier curve?
I tried to recreate this in Blender 2.91.2 but sadly without success. Mantaflow changed a lot.
WHen I try to change the smoke settings, the domain ones do not stay after I switch over to flow. Can anybody explain why this happens?
what hardware requirements we need to achieve this ?
I'm not sure what the exact minimum requirements are, but I'm working on this setup:
16 Gb of RAM
Intel® Core™ i7-3770 CPU @ 3.40 GHz
Nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti GPU
Maybe you could make a tutorial about how to simulate frozen magic in blender...
Muy bueno!!!MUCHAS GRACIAS!!!
Nice work!
very cool but it maybe needs an update for the actual version
Great Tut. Could you please tell me where is the downloadable blend?

Another amazing tutorial ! Thank you. But how can we do for the changing color of the particles please ?
Awesome!
Beautiful! Thank you for this
Can I follow this tutorial in Blender 2.8?

I am new to blender , what's the rendering and simulating times . Really nice tutorial thanks :)
Hey man, I was wondering how long it takes you to make effects
It takes me about 2 or 3 hours.
Time well spent xD
scott lee Thank you!
Yeah how long to render?
Thank you for this tut! I do have 4 ideas that Ive been wanting to do and thought would be fun! Any Harry Potter theme with the clouds, the GhostBuster theme with the ghost, World of Warcraft logo and the theme egg from the movie Alien with Sigourney Weaver! Been wanting to do all of them but just not sure where to start.
where can we find you lago? on insta fb?
youre awesome!
awesome
Genial, lindo, brilhante... admiro muito !
Great vid! What kind of graphics card are you using?
I'm using a GTX 650 Ti.
Awesome, thanks Iago! Looking into upgrading here within the next couple of weeks.
seriouly!! i'm using GTX 1070 with 8gb and 1900 core and its looks like diarrhea spreading everywhere XD
This is Brilliant. I've done basically the exact same thing in an animation of mine but can anyone tell me where to find his previous video so i can Texture. Thanks again.

It feels like in 2.80 stuff just acts diffrently
At 7:13 All? 0.5 or 0? and what does it change?
0.5 During the recording, I made a mistake that I only noticed later.
Iago Mota weird is that my got no color.. i tried the materials in the shading video but it doesn't work.. is has no color.
EarthEaterEE That is strange. What version of Blender are you using?
Iago Mota the newest version 2.78b but i will work more on it, maybe i can find the mistake..
EarthEaterEE I'm not entirely sure what could be causing it, but make sure you aren't using any child particles. They don't seem to behave correctly when using the particle-info node.
great !!! can you make a fire tutorial ? fire breathing would be cool !! but great videos you've got ! keep it up
Do you also use plugins?
Personally, I do. But I avoid their use in tutorials.
I wish this had been commentated so I didn't have to keep going back to pause!
amazing 😲..!!
Bake all dynamics. Two hours later you can continue.... :)
ive been waiting 2 years
Has it been 2 hours yet
@@flarbinator Perhaps a reboot?
@@EntropicalNature I'm gonna give it another day or two
Nice

i feel yah man
real fast for a tutorial
Wow
just tell the gist of it instead of making so many unnecesary visual improvements.
եoԲX c;
come on instagram please
Way too fast. Bye
