Out of curiosity, how long did this take to render?? Cause it looks amazing, but that's a looot of smoke.

[@Redinkumar]

Thanks, it took 12 hours. The lightning effects is created in nuke..

[@idfk_vfx]

@@Redinkumar makes sense.
At one point I made the mistake of rendering the light source inside the smoke... yeah, not fun. :))

[@Redinkumar]

@@idfk_vfx yea, that would b very expensive

[@AKIL1192]

@@Redinkumar 3D newbie here, what's the workflow for rendering the lightning on top/outside the smoke?

[@Redinkumar]

@@AKIL1192 I created that lightning in nuke with noise
