How to make a Massive Procedural Sandstorm in Blender

Get the original file on my Patreon: / raffovfx
Full vfx tutorial for making easily a giant sandstorm procedurally using Blender!
No boring smoke simulations involved: its completely procedural, which means:
- drag & drop it in any scene
- realtime adjustments
- no waiting times for boring bakes
- customizable at any stage of the pipeline
- not source demanding ( 1 MB of disk space! )
- just 8 vertices required ( the default cube! )
Props to everybody going to the Blender Conference this weekend, wish I live there!

This looks Badass

[@RaffoVFX]

much thanks!

[@bUildYT]

wow, thats amazing, never thaught about smt like that!!

[@RaffoVFX]

yeah I believe its possible to make any type of smoke with this concept

[@videopro__]

Damn that looksss awesome !!!

[@RaffoVFX]

thanks!

Awesome

[@RaffoVFX]

thank you:)

[@user-hj4cw8ci4r]

I love this

[@RaffoVFX]

me too:)

[@longshot9058]

Not sure if it would crash blender or not but you can use one of the ray outputs from the light path node to exponentially increase the speed of the storm to give that effect that it’s really slow far away but gets really fast when it’s up close to the camera.

[@RaffoVFX]

Oh that's so true! I can divide the camera ray with the ray lenght and somehow is gonna multiply the rotation of the speed basing on the distance! Thanks you!

[@fatimatallouzi538]

This is truly amazing, something u cant find anywhere else on this platform. Is it possible to bake the animation once ur done tweaking to view it in real time and for more stable rendering, if so how can we do so?

[@RaffoVFX]

Thanks a lot, glad to har that :) baking it is kinda impossible, since its a 4d texture going through a volume. I usually just make a couple of very low resolution test render isolating just the smoke, which are very fast

[@fabriziolorito]

Bello!

[@RaffoVFX]

grazie:)

[@DrillWood9699]

just imagine how long would it take to render if we use caustics in the same scene

[@RaffoVFX]

on a 1 core pc with no gpu and 2 gb ram

[@user-hj4cw8ci4r]

Please explain Evee version

[@RaffoVFX]

unfrotunatly I will not do that, but- ehy, now you have the entire setup here! Get inspiration and customize it:)

[@EmaSans-tu5eg]

I hate cycles because when the concept is about fog I cant never use eevee 😑

[@RaffoVFX]

its a paradox but when it comes to volumes, cycles works much faster than eevee!
