Oh looking so nice. good to see you back on here.
Great tutorial, man! This was really fun to make, and I appreciate the clear instruction!
Thanks
Awesome tutorial bro!! Good techniques in there 👍
Dude, wow you're honestly amazing, congratulations!!
Very good, step by step explanation of the Molecular script! Thank you very much, well done!
By the way, do you know how to make the particles not go half way through the container? It's like the container interacts with their origin, not their mesh, and half of the mesh of the particles sinks through. Anyway, thanks again!
This is lowkey a great material/nodes tutorial. Thank you 🔥 sub.
Thanks for the sub!
you've just gained a subscriber! amazing tutorial at a nice pace to follow along with. I think i've found my channel to take me on my blender journey
thanks a lot for this tutorial man, keep making awesome blender tutorial in future plsss its very helpful

Thank you so much!
Many thanks for tutorial :)
Glad it was helpful!
amazing
Thanks of this tut!
You're welcome
Really Good Tutorial
Glad you liked it
Hey is there a way to have random size of the particles and make them interact with respect of this size?
Thank you soo much! 🤩
You're welcome.
thanks
Appreciated man I really liked it but got a question. Can we apply it on specific surfaces like shifting on surface?
I know this is question slightly out of topic but do you know any way to make particles interact with cloth simulation in Blender? I mean eg filling plastic bag with some beans
I couldn't find latest version. where can I find? thank you
I see that I can "pause" the baking of the molecular simulation. Is there a way to "resume" where I left off? I'm assuming no, but asking anyway just in case.
I guess not. Let me know if you find a way.
I got it to work a few days ago. Now.. When I follow this... All of my molecules just stay in lines and bounce?
Hey im having trouble with the script. Everything installed fine and can sort of get a scene working like yours, although the particles do collide with each other, they do overlap a bit and i dont know why. Also, i've tried with another scene using a collection of different rocks as particles and when i run the simulation it just explodes rather than falling and they are not near anything and dont have any initial velocity, and when they collide with each other/another mesh, they do not rotate at all but fall straight regardless of their direction. :/ can you/anyone help?
Hey Arta. Sorry for the problems you are facing. As far as I can understand your problem the repulsion of particles could be happening because your friction and damping setting are two low. Try getting them obove 0.1. If that doesn't sloves it then make sure before you start the Molecular simulation the spheres are not intersecting each other in the cube volume. Hope those steps solves your problem. If not let me know and we will figure out something else. Thanks
This is fucking game changing thank you so much!!!!
Hey. If my number of particles is 15 and somehow they becomes more and more what`s that might be?
Hey Pranjal! I noticed during the force field creation there's a FLIP Fluid Physics setting on top as well at 05.59. Is that relevant to be added whilst changing the parameters of the force field? If so how do you do it?
That is not relevant to the force settings.Thank you
Hey, I'm having issues with the shaders in blender 3.6. I've played around with the settings but the spheres still appear black. Do you have any suggestions or ideas as to where I've made a mistake? Thank yoU!
Do you mind sharing the blender scene file ? I can have a look.
Thanks for the tutorial! What gpu and cpu are you using. Seems pretty smooth on your side.
Thank you! I am on an Rtx3090 paired up with a ryzen 3950 x
@@jalpranjal Oh damn it. Tryed to follow with my gtx 960, its all but enjoyable.. Guess i have to stick with smaller / not complicated scences till i can upgrade my setup.
Hey great video man, I've been going around your video up and down and side to side and for some reason in my experiment the balls just go trough the colission object they dont traspass it completely but they stay half way across am i missing something?
Weird. I will get back to you on that.
Is self collision activated in the molecular settings?
Great tutorial! Why did you rotate the particles simulation and gravity instead of just rotating the camera?
Just a bit more convenient to to place lights. You can do it either way
More tutorials man!
sure!! working on some interesting stuff. Stay tuned
Hi. Thx for tutor! My particles stuck in collision mesh. How fix it? Thx a lot for answer!
Do you low damping and friction settings in the self collision settings?
thank you for the amazing tutorial!
the only thing I can't figure out is what's wrong with my render.. There is a lot of noise in the foreground blur in one of the scenes.. settings like maximum
does anyone know what to do about it? ((((
Make sure you have the denoiser on
For those who have a conflict in the link he has posted
here is the link that is shown in the video
github.com/scorpion81/Blender-Molecular-Script/releases
I hear the jazz piano from Bensounds.com, it's a good tune
Can anyone confirm if project file works?
Hi Pranjal, first of all.. thank you so much for this awesome tut! Really useful. I almost got everything working like you have right now.. the only 2 parts where I have a different outcome are;
1. creating the second top view shot, when I rebake the simulation (after deleting the 2 force fields) and put the plane with ocean modifier and your settings in the container.. the rebaked simulation makes all the particles bounce out of the box like a pasta pan that is overcooking.. and it's way more then they did in the previous bake/shot I finished.
2. my particles are shaded like a tiger like patterns (stripes from top to bottom) instead of the top and bottom corner being orange and the middle part being black like yours.
Do you maybe have any suggestions? Thank you!
Thank you so much for checking out the video. The paricles bouncing off could be bacuse of the low friction value. Try changing that. Also run a clean simulation making sure all the old ones are deleted. For the shaded pattern , not sure what is happening in you scene. Can you send it to me and I can take a look,.
@@jalpranjal Hi! Thnx for your quick reply :) Yea I was already changing up the friction and dampening to not let them "over spill" out of the container but it should just work like yours when I use your exact parameters for the friction and dampening right? That's just weird :)
Yes I can send you my node setup etc ofc! Where can I send it to? Thnx
@@StyleeSeoul you can send me at jal.robustvfx@gmail.com
I have one problem the cube is still showing in my viewport after changing the density upto zero .What should I do????
Make sure you go into particle setting>viewport display > uncheck show emitter
How to get rid of constant wiggle in the particles?
If you increase the friction and damping it should slow down the wiggle.
Any fix for gaps between the emitter particles? The particles appear "floating" on top of each other instead of colliding.
Thanks for following the tutorial. Do you have self collision activated?
@@jalpranjal I have same problem. And I had to scale particles way smaller to avoid "expolding" at start. So simulation scale does not match to geo. Any idea what's wrong? Self collision is activated. Using blender 3.0
this addon is update for 3.0+?
It should work
There is no scorpion81 account on github that I can find. Also, there is no Blender-Molecular-Script. So where do you go to download this?
Try this link github.com/scorpion81/Blender-Molecular-Script
Sir I have a doubt, I know you are a nuke compositor. I want to know , is fusion is better for VFX compositing. I know tool is not important , behind the person is important. I want to know whether fusion is good for compositing or not..
Fusion is good if you just want to do your own stuff but if you want to grow as compositor and work in production then definitely Nuke is the way to go. Nuke has some robust tools and is well scalable.
For some weird reason when I create the random material and test the colour ramp, everything is black
me pasa lo mismo ¿solucionaste el problema ?
I can't get the add-on Blender please help me
It's called molecular addon for blender. It's available on github
After I add nod wrangler (around 11:40 ) spheres become completely black and the nod in the shader editor becomes yellow instead of green...what can it be this time?)
did it work without adding the node wrangler. You don't necessarily need node wrangler to shade the spheres
@@jalpranjal main problem is that spheres have that same colour, there is no different types of shading on some of them...they just all have the same texture settings, despite me connect nods (and settings) the same way you do. Yellow nod wrangler maybe signalise that my particle/mapping nods sequence doesn't work correctly.
@@villagewill7603 I can send you the Blender file and that way you can reference what I am doing. Can you shoot an email to me using the address provided in the about section of my channel?
great..thank you very much.. i just have somthing in mind.. that if the displacement is high it will go throw the partcles.. is there any way to keep it on the plane?
You can try adding an universal drag force field to keep them on the plane.
@@jalpranjal soo much love... thank you.. youre such a great person ♥️♥️♥️
@@ramoaleid4658 no problem. Happy to help
@@jalpranjal it means a lot
@@ramoaleid4658 : ). Will love to see the results you get.
Hello! after purchasing on gumroad-the download page is not available
So sorry for your trouble. Let me have a look.
Sent you an email.
Is there a way to bake the molecular particles to keyframes?
Yes I guess. That will be a lot of keyframes though and slow down the playback I guess.
@@jalpranjal Hi, thanks for the reply. My use case has a lot less particles than what you did in this tutorial. I found a script on the Blender Stack Exchange that converts a particle system to animated meshes.
@@LeonardoAguiar3D That is very cool. Do you mind sharing the link to the script?
Just curious, but how long did this take to render for you??
I followed this tutorial and rendered 370 frames in cycles with 128 samples, full HD and default denoiser on. I used a really shitty laptop and the render time was roughly 35 hours. I could've used my main computer, but I wanted to play while laptop was rendering. :D
The molecules are colliding but have gaps between them when fallen, almost like a force field where they are floating on each other ^^ Does any perhaps have an idea why? (Blender 2.9)
That's weird. Do they have that gap between them when in the cube volume?
@@jalpranjal Yes. Found a solution, without finding the issuie.
Change to ico-hedron and then it worked better. Properly some friction or value 🤷♂️
@@hemdrupdesign glad it all worked out.
How long did it take to render?))
2 hours
Does this work in Eevee?
I guess not. Particle info node works just in cycles
cannot find the script..please help

@@jalpranjal Just a heads up that's the very old version that doesn't work on 2.8+ This is the one you used on your video: github.com/scorpion81/Blender-Molecular-Script
when i installed the file i coudnt find the molecuar_1.1.1_win.zip
Try getting it from here github.com/scorpion81/Blender-Molecular-Script/releases
@@jalpranjal still doesent work but you still deserve a sub
@@jalpranjal nvm it works thanks
is there any other way to creat this bcoz molecular addon is down
What do you mean? Are you not able to download the addon?
@@jalpranjal I downloaded the add-on from GitHub but the main site is not opening and blender is also not reading the add-on idk why! (help)

I made a setup exactly like this,
But my particles squish together,
And bouncing far more than this.
Don't know what's missing.
Make sure the friction and damping are above 0.1 and self-collision is activated.
I cant seem to get the plug in working :(
nvm got it working but whenever I say start simulation it jumps to 1250 frames xD
@@antbrowne9494 same for me did you ever figure out how to fix it?
My molecule cube literally explodes above the countainer (only 10-20 percent's get in)....what can it be?)
Hey. Sad its not working for you. Please make sure the spheres are touching each other and scaled down a bit before you start simulating.
@@jalpranjal found a solution in comments (just created a new scene and started from beginning, now everything is alright)
I love the tutorial but I cannot seem to get it right, my particles keep sinking into each other instead of interacting.
Thanks! Make sure you have the activate self-collision on in the molecular settings.
Pranjal Choudhary I have it turned on but still nothing, I think I’m going to delete and reinstall the add on
Wondering if everything worked for you?
PlayStation 5 😁
h
I tried it for like 2 hours, tweaking any parameter I could find... All I ended up with was exploding particles, like in rigid body simulations when objects are too close.
Meh...
Sad to hear that. Something I can help to figure out?
@@jalpranjal Hi, thanks for asking. Well I dunno what happened, I restarted from a fresh new file and now its working as expected. Thanks for your tutorial btw ;)
@@Cyber_Kriss Glad it worked.
It may take me a week to understand what is going on and complete your tutorial but I consider every minute is worth it when you get candy for your brain.
@@jaimemaldonado7854 Thank you.
where are you learn blender in india???
Self-taught here and I don't live in India.
But where you are learn online in youtube
@@cactusmusic6058 Appreciate your curiosity. It's always a good habit to focus on principles like color/composition/design rather than getting mesmerized by the software. As said hundred times softwares are just tools. Start with any Basic blender course but try getting the art fundamentals right.
@@jalpranjal 👍👍👍👍
mine just explodes and the particles float ,... great tutorial though.
Oh. Make sure you don't have sphere touching each other at the beginning of the simulation.
literally the PS5
What are you handsome!
Hi can i doo a question please reply when you stay!
Sorry didn't get you there. Can you repeat your questions?
@@jalpranjal sorry my english Is bad i am search for a ground destrucción like a caotics clumps un the air ,i am maki a short simulating a meteor hiting the groud AND i used this addon for simulated the groud destrucción you know any parameters to make this? AND thanks for answer
@@luchoMKlove Well don't have the parameters as such in my mind. But I would start with animating the emission frame and then use a point force field to cheat the physics.Hope that helps
