Sorry! Poorly explained.. You need to enable the Cycles Render engine before applying the Quick Smoke effect. You can do this in the drop-down menu at the very top.
This tutorial is up there as a gold standard on how tutorials should be. Gets right to it, does not get lost on tangents, shows every step needed to get a high quality result.Very well done.
To show my gratitude for learning from your tutorial, I'll try to explain about the After Effects part. There is a frame blending checkbox for each layer as well as a master frame blending checkbox for the entire composition. You indicated you needed to check the layer's frame blending checkbox twice and the master frame blending button once before you could get the effect to work. From what I was able to determine by watching your (well done) tutorial, you had to check the layer's checkbox two times because the first tic resulted in a dotted line which indicated it would be in draft mode. The second tic put the layer into quality mode which was probably the result you were looking for. None of that would have mattered however, had you not clicked the master frame blending button. By default the composition was created with no frame blending enabled. By clicking the button you made the option of frame blending available and by ticking the layer's checkbox you actually caused the effect to be used.
Its has been awhile since anyone has done a recent tutorial for smoke sim in Blender, and you my friend nailed it. Thanks for the little After Effects run through. Kudos m8.
This is not a tutorial for smoke simulation only. It is a tutorial for so many other things too. It is fast but very clearly narrated. Thanks for offering it!
Quick pro tip: when you're wanting to view a smaller rendered area you don't have to break off a new window. Just hit Shift+B to draw a border on the area you want to render, then hit Shift+Z to do a Cycles preview. To clear the preview window, hit Ctrl+Alt+B. This works in the camera, too, to isolate a specific part of the render frame. Hope that helps!
I think I may have seen nearly every blender smoke tutorial on youtube by now. This is THE BEST one hands down - I came here for smoke and you gave me all that up front. Then you showed some neat tricks, AND included the materials and baking. All clearly explained with no faffing about - thank you very, very much for your work!
Well done. No rush and no lag, just every thing explained with logic in a quick and crisp manner. So was in the camera tutorial you just made in 2020. Very rare to see this in most of other available tutorials. Stay humble like that and you will grow big. Keep it up.
I dont often post comments . But dude you're my favorite now , i like the way you explain it right on the subject no other extra unnecessary coments straight on point. You deserve a subscribe a like and a handshake !
Holy shit guy please do more tutorials on this subject. Trying to get better with lighting and molding smoke into shapes. Your explanations are of exceptional quality. Thanks so much!
To the teachers grading this assignment: this is a good ass tutorial..give him an A! Why? Cause I spent 2 days trying to find a video to help me Import smoke sims into after effects and this is the only video that explained it well.
so true but im having a problem because this tutorial is a bit out dated, I can't find the button "Smoke High Resolution" I honestly don't know if they removed it or where it is.
Great work! Nice to see a succinct and informative update to how to get the best smoke effects and where not to waste any time on settings. I remember spending a long time on smoke and finding some but not all of this out the hard way. Thanks!
This is SO organized and well put-together! Thank you for such a graceful tutorial that's in 60 fucking frames per second!! Your concise yet detailed script is perfect.
Just do you know: Blender has the option to do motion blur (Properties > Render > Motion Blur) as well as having a really powerful compositor, just switch any area to the node editor and change from shader (the icon that looks like a pink BMW logo) to compositor (the one right next to it). Your results are amazing BTW!
Thanks! As far as I know, Blender doesn't support motion blur when rendering smoke, but when rendering anything else the motion blur option you're describing here is an amazing tool!
awesome tutorial... your explanations are clear and easy to follow, there is denoise option present in the render layers tab, very helpful to speed up render times especially for animation
Thanks for a very clear and instructive video... I just subscribed ! A small tip could be to show the final result in the beginning of the video, just to give an idea of the cool effects you will learn by watching the tutorial...
Nice tutorial. I like the offloading of work to the motion blur. It's a great trick to improve the final output without getting bogged down with trying to tweak the simulation settings to much or put to much of a tax on your workstation.
One thing though, in the latest version of blender changing the plane to an emission material isnt an option, have you found a way around this? I've just had to use point lights for now...@@Polyfjord
Very, very cool! Blender is a program I've been wanting to learn for ages, but every time I open a tutorial I am so deterred by its complexity. This, on the other hand, makes it look easy! I'm fluent in AE, but I want to be able to do smoke sims and basic 3d. This is great motivation to try harder. Please make more tutorials! ;)
Great tutorial! You instruct in a very understandable & detailed manner, yet leave us with suggestions for our own modifications where appropriate. In addition, I really appreciate the keyboard/mouse log in the corner. By the way, are you Swedish? :P Anyway, good job man :)
Really complete and concise explanation for mid-level users. Thanks for sharing. Rather than adding Motion Blur in AE, you could just enabled Denoising feature from Blender 2.79.
Your Tutorial is SUPER GOOD!, you go straight to the point without hesitation!, you could do the whole thing in Blender as well, but is totally welcome to see what you do in AFX. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and please... continue doing amazing tutorials!!!
I love your sims. Very cool. Here's a challenge for you; create a gyroscope and animate it being 'pulled' to start it up and permit real physics to allow it to spin and remain balanced as they would.
What a high quality tutorial. Thanks for being great! Covered all the spots one hopes a tutorial to have, regardless of skill. Thank you for your effort!
So soothing. Love your voice, love your accent, love your speed it isn't boring and it's understandable for a new user (me!). You totally deserve more subscribers. (Love the keyboard view in the bottom right btw)
Very well done. I have understood everything, it wasn't exhausting and you explained everything is needed to make this visually impressive smoke animation. You are really great teacher! :-)
I find it so funny how this was a school project and almost reached half a millions views. Tbh school in general is really outdated and holds talented individuals like this guy back. If you want to learn something in today's world there is a course or a video that teaches exactly what you want to learn way better then any "school teacher" because they are acctually passionate about what they teach, they are highly specialised and their industry and they always teach up to date skills because they live and breathe what they teach... and don't have to wait years for a curriculum to be given to them by their institution 😉😋 The point I'm trying to make is if you are passionate about something that is all that maters! Don't waste your time and money in school getting into debt slavery, rather specialise your skills and approach people/businesses in the real world who need you and value what you can offer them. Trust me as a digital artists myself I make a living by showing my amazing work and getting hired directly. Live your dream people! ❤
Oke, for the people that render, but see a border around their domain. This is how you solve it. there are two ways, you either restart the process and make sure you use the node settings that come from the quick smoke effect. Or you make a new object with a quick smoke effect, copy paste the nodes of the quick effect domain to your domain you used previously. To do this you have to first apply a material to your previous domain en then copy paste the nodes of the quick effect domain in there, then delete the two added nodes that came with the previously added material and it should work now.
Why can't I see the smoke in the rendered view?
Sorry! Poorly explained.. You need to enable the Cycles Render engine before applying the Quick Smoke effect. You can do this in the drop-down menu at the very top.
Thanks It worked !!
it didnot work :_(
me too :(
You have a lamp?
This tutorial is up there as a gold standard on how tutorials should be. Gets right to it, does not get lost on tangents, shows every step needed to get a high quality result.Very well done.
Thanks, that's such a nice thing to hear. Would love to make some more!!
Could not agree more with this comment. Tutorial was to the point and showed every step without wasting any time. Brilliant
Really! Great job, you make it easy to follow along. I was intimidated by the vastness of blender. You’re way of presenting helps out a lot.
The point of a tutorial tho is for mainly just generally learning it then applying to your own. Otherwise Blender does have it's own youtube page
Help the smoke is coming out from my cpu
Damn...🤣🤣🤣
lol
Do you not have a dedicated gpu?
@@danielhetrick3435 no
Scale the bounding box :)
Me : tries any type of simulation that looks far from good
My CPU : *so you have chosen death*
To show my gratitude for learning from your tutorial, I'll try to explain about the After Effects part.
There is a frame blending checkbox for each layer as well as a master frame blending checkbox for the entire composition. You indicated you needed to check the layer's frame blending checkbox twice and the master frame blending button once before you could get the effect to work.

That is an amazing compliment!! Thank you
This was a great tutorial! You explained your methods and reasoning very clearly.

I think replied to the wrong comment.
This is by far the best Smoke tutorial for me Ive seen so far. All others seem to advanced and I lost Intrest, but this was perfect!
Thanks man!!
Seriously this channel gives professional level tutorial in easiest way....
so true but im having a problem because this tutorial is a bit out dated, I can't find the button "Smoke High Resolution" I honestly don't know if they removed it or where it is.
@@TheBuckett Blender changes a lot in every update
I think it is in Physics > smoke >High resolution
@@WannaCry_Alpha yeah I know that they do. Thanks a lot!!!
Great work! Nice to see a succinct and informative update to how to get the best smoke effects and where not to waste any time on settings. I remember spending a long time on smoke and finding some but not all of this out the hard way. Thanks!
The ONLY RUclips video that showed how to properly do image sequencing
This is the way tutorials should be made!
Thanks man!!
Very good tutorial. Well instructed and seems extremely professional. I'm hoping you do more of this, it's lovely!
This is SO organized and well put-together! Thank you for such a graceful tutorial that's in 60 fucking frames per second!! Your concise yet detailed script is perfect.
It was better than most videos . No bullshit informaiton that we dont need , he cuts to the point A+
Would love to see an updated tutorial if there's anything new

Nice video! Clearly spoken. QT; You can quickly subdivide the cube by selecting it and then press Ctrl+ 1/2/3/4 or 5.
Thanks!! Nice tip! We needed the fractal noise options for the subdivision though, but otherwise this would've been much quicker :)
I couldn’t wait to see a smoke tutorial from you! Thank you so much! It is also very well explained!
Thanks!!
awesome tutorial... your explanations are clear and easy to follow, there is denoise option present in the render layers tab, very helpful to speed up render times especially for animation
Nicely done. Very well presented and thankfully no music. Straight and to the point. I wish more tutorials were like this.
Much appreciated!!
Thanks, One of the best blender tutorials on smoke effect I have come across. I will Favourite it. Well done.
Thanks for a very clear and instructive video... I just subscribed !
A small tip could be to show the final result in the beginning of the video, just to give an idea of the cool effects you will learn by watching the tutorial...
Interesting results. Key frames make a huge difference. I am definitely going to try this out.

The best tutorial on smoke in Blender I've seen!
Thank you so much I don't usually drop comments but you're method of teaching is awsome

Anyway, good job man :)
Thanks for the great comment!! Norwegian!
A really great tutorial you can extend to teach from basis of virtual effect
That helps a lot
Really complete and concise explanation for mid-level users. Thanks for sharing. Rather than adding Motion Blur in AE, you could just enabled Denoising feature from Blender 2.79.
Good, short and simple format that clearly explains the steps taken.

cool stuff. thanks to you, i realized i could set my GPU to render instead of my CPU. thanks.
Hey ! Thanks for your tutorial it will help me a lot, hope your school project went well !
Excellent tutorial to smoke simulation in blender, really. i understand every words you say (i'm french) thanks a lot, you gain a new subscriber ;p

could hardly be better.
Huge thanks!!
the thumbnail looks better than the animation itself
Awesome, thanks for explaining what controls what.
this is absolutely stunning, thank you so much for showing me how to do this - I'll make my own and see how it turns out :D
you are the best to create smoke effect..
Holy smokes.. this is good tutorial
