@@mitroiz9182 Ah, I understand! Right now I'm unable to upload content to my RUclips channel due to my current work load with my job and college, but what would be easier for me and I think better for you is for us to just chat over Discord or something similar. That way you could receive live feedback and extra tips and tricks that wouldn't be in a RUclips tutorial. I would also be able to share my screen and could show you how I made my animation!
I just found this channel. Finally, a channel with breakdowns for blender ! .. thank you.... I have a question.. Should we bake before render the bullet tracers ???
Wow thanks! Hmm, I've honestly no idea. I guess if the tracers' physics are complex or maybe if there are a lot of them, baking would be ideal. However, I haven't actually baked the tracers at all yet. Great question though! I'll definitely keep that in mind! Thanks!
Thanks for the tutorial! Though I was wondering, is there a way to have the guns fire on demand? So I don't have to manually do recoil every time it shoots and instead have it shoot on a frame when I specifically want a round.
Hmm!! I've never encountered this before. Maybe check to be sure you don't have a duplicate emitter in the same location emitting the opposite direction.
What a find! I am working on a hurricane and this tutorial is ideal for what I am looking for and works great. Can I point a trigger button in the cockpit to the tracer. I am told I can use a local variable but I dont know how to do that.
Great video, thanks for the explanation. There is only one Issue for me, how can I make the cannons start/end firing at a specified frame? So far, my approach was to manually offset the start and end of the particles, as an example, start at frame 32 and end at 232 instead of 1 - 200. It works, but only if they continuously fire (or without a break inbetween firing), and its very slow to set up. Is there any way I can do this faster/more effectively and make them stop mid-firing? Else, great tutorial, thank you very much for the explanation. This has already helped quite a lot
@@Lukas-- Good question! I've used this method for tracers a lot and have not yet figured out a solution for this problem. What I typically do is set starting and ending frames for the tracer particle system, and if I want the tracers to stop and start again in the middle of firing, I will set keyframes to turn off/on render visibility for the tracer particle system for those frames. You can find render visibility settings in the Outliner of the UI. This method works generally well, but when the cannon stops firing, thr tracers already fired will disappear and reappear when the cannon begins firing again. So, it may look a little cheap. I use camera angles and camera tricks to help hide that. Let me know if you have any questions!
@@jbblenderbreakdown4668 Hello again, my sincere apologies for taking 11 days to answer. Your method works great for slowly firing cannons, although I've slightly modified it to just start at frame 1 and end at something like frame 10.000, and making them invisible when no projectile is on the screen. However, for fast firing weapons that "take a firing break", it still remains a problem only avoidable by either splitting a scene into many different renders, each with an own starting point, or to really trick around with the camera angle (or using many different particle emitters, but thats also not great) =/ Still, thank you very much for the help, and once again my apologies for taking that long to answer while you responded almost immediately
I'm glad the video helped you! As for trace emitting timing, I don't think this method allows for exact timing/intervals of the bullets. However, I recommend changing the number of bullets being fired and the emitter power to get a certain fixed rate that you like. If somehow you could measure that rate, you should be able to assign the recoil animation to that firing rate. I hope this helps you!
Thank you for the two excellent animations, one on the tracer bullets and the second on the spinning propeller. I have duplicated both of your tutorials and they both run very well, thank you again. Having come this far I then tried to merge them so that I would also have one aircraft with a spinning propeller with its guns firing as you did. This is where I come short, how did you do that part, fitting the two animations into one video?
I'm glad to hear that both tutorials worked! So when I made my animated film, I started by "rigging" the propeller for the airplane as seen in my first Blender tutorial, then after a lot of trial and error, I made the particle system to emit bullet tracers. The important thing to remember is that you have to do both these operations on the same airplane. You shouldn't run into any problems if you follow the steps, as the "rigged" propeller is its own element while the tracer particle system is a complete different one. If you need anymore help or have anymore questions, just ask!
Is there a way of making them more realistic? I mean the way it looks in for example ww2 dogfights, the tracers almost look like if they bend in waves a bit, this kind of illusion. Would it be possible to show on a tutorial?
Hmm, I'm pretty sure that with motion blur on and the camera moving and shaking as it normally would in an action sequence, it would seem like the tracers were distorted and bent in waves. While I was making my animated movie, "The Altercation", I learned about this trick and that's why at the end you can see the technique being used. But yeah feel free to experiment with the camera movement, as the tracers themselves are pretty accurate when it comes to how it was in ww2. Although the sample video in the beginning doesn't really illustrate the technique of camera movement, keeping the camera constantly moving and having it shake while the guns are firing should do the trick because of motion blur. Let me know if you need anything else!
Hmm, that is very strange. I don't think I've ever encountered that problem before. Just make sure you save the project before exiting. That way the changes you make to the scene will be saved. If you need any further help, just let me know!!
I'm afraid not. I created this model a while back for an animated movie. I didn't really know what I was doing so I made several mistakes. I made it by trial and error and watching a few tutorials. Most of it was made by using reference images and attempting to duplicate what I saw. I did this by going into edit mode and extruding the object in the same shape as the reference image. I hope this helps a little.
Hmm, I'm not much of a modeller, so that might be a good request for someone like Alfa Cinema ruclips.net/channel/UCYTAPX2rVWHqpPjj26J1JQw I appreciate the feedback though!
How am I supposed to separate the motion blur? I have motion blur for the bullet tracer and it looks great, but it also applies motion blur to the rest of my ongoing scene.
@@Clarkos1 When motion blur is enabled, it applies to the whole scene and not to a particular object. I am not aware of a method to enable it for a specifc object, unless you maybe rendered in layers.
@@jbblenderbreakdown4668 I'm trying to make it only apply to the bullet tracer and nothing else in my scene, would be great if you had some insight on that!
@@Clarkos1 I don't think there's an official way to do that, but you could try rendering the tracers in one layer (with motion blur enabled) and then render the rest of the animation in another layer (with motion blur disabled). You would then layer the two layers together. That would be my best recommendation for this situation.
@@drxcopetez193 Oh okay. You'll probably need to make a driver to spin the bullet. The tracer emitter can emit particles, but I don't think it can spin them. The spinner will probably need to be a separate component.
I know im a bit late but when ever i do my render of the tracers the seem really blocky or dont have that nice transparent like trail. Do you have any clue what could cause this?
Not yet, but I'm sure I could think of something. Do you mean those white streaks of smoke behind the tracers? If so, a smoke domain might work. Thanks for the great idea and I'll see what I can come up with!
Yeah. This is a common problem I encountered when making my animated movie. So I tried to avoid this problem as much as I could by keeping the plane relatively stationary and using basic camera tricks to make it appear that it's moving forward. However, for certain animations I had to put a wind force field behind the tracer emitter to speed up the bullets. Hope this helps!
That's a very good question, although I am unsure. I would experiment with the particle settings and see if you can find a section referring to physics. Once there, try looking for a rigid body setting, then set the rigid body to active.
Thanks!! Sure, I will try my best! I'm not very good at 3D modeling, but I will definitely give that a shot! It's more concept modeling than putting in numbers and values, but it's not hard to make these models once you know Blender modeling basics and tools. I was planning on making a modeling tutorial anyway, so this would be a perfect topic! Thanks for the feedback!!!
