people who make tutorials like you make complex things look like stacking building blocks. love it👍

[@durantfan4983]

I love how soft spoken your voice is. It makes the tutorial very much so all the more enjoyable.

[@dragezon742]

what I like from this tutorial is that you're simple, and easy to learn for anyone with a slight experience in blender. i've been using blender for almost 2 months, and i can see what you were doing very easily, and it's a whole lot better when you know some other things in blender to make this easier. I always wanted to try something else new, and i was looking for a video in anxiety because i knew that it would be irritating, but your video was the opposite of irritating. It was straight to the point, and was fun to learn!

[@danielanderson4640]

best tutorial so far

[@AceSfx]

Great vid, is there a way to select what frame the smoke can come in on and stop emitting on???

[@casenswartz7278]

There is a button that says flow. Have that checked true on frame one and hit the diamond next to it, and on the frame you want it to stop, check it false, and then hit the diamond again

[@pranavdev5573]

great tutorial as usual

how do you lengthen the roof? my smoke is flattening out on the top

How do you create a pool of smoke that does not move in any direction? Like a swimming pool. Because by default it always moves up.

[@sebaanimations7218]

the second time i tried baking it 400 frames my blender crashed any solutions?

I'm running 2.91 and followed exactly what you are doing, but I don't have a BAKE / FREE button. What have I done wrong? Thanks

when i rende it its just white cube in nothing

[@TimV777]

I didnt know it takes hours to make these. Do you have any tuts for simple card smoke. I just want to add some smoke effect for my still renders. Like a creature in a forest with some basic foggy smoke around?

is there a way this can be turned in to a ydr prop for fivem

[@archadias1]

Anybody else get the ASMR vibes? All I can hear is when his voice goes up at the end of every sentence. It cracks me up and I love it. Also, this tutorial kicked off my interest in particle physics with Blender. Super fun. Super cool. Thanks for making it!!

[@Qmontun]

hey i need help, everytime i did a smoke effect, the smoke never puffs upwards even though i have used adaptive domain/ increase the domain scale. It always ends up blocked at a certain height as if there was an invisible ceiling. Again i already scale up the domain size yet this invisible ceiling doesn't go away

[@GemboyTV]

Me too. Did you figure it out?

[@Madlykeanu]

I am also having this problem

[@Madlykeanu]

Seems to be fixed after baking it and switching back to replay

[@Marcus-yq3ys]

Bake all again… after finish baking, it will be work

When I tried that in a new scene, it work. When I tried it in a previous scene I made, it won't. Any idea why please someone ?

I have a similar problem!

dang thanks for the ASMR voice

[@keithtam8859]

I once asked my VFX supervisor on the workflow on the smoke sim with phoenix FD, he said you should simulate part of the smoke one chunk at a time and combine them later, what does he mean? wonder if people do the same with blender smoke sim...

[@minechannel6096]

Hi, sir! How did you render such a long frames animation? Is there any rendering farm you recommend, please let me know... Thansk!!

[@mizo2452]

hi lets say I have a bumpy ground as a collision object with a desert shader and I want to have the visual effect of a moving sand by the wind like dust when wind blows across the ground using mantaflow, is a bit tricky since it has a specific connected particles pattern which I find very hard to achieve with the mantaflow basic parameters

[@djtc2093]

Latest Blender doesn't have the same "light" option. please assist

[@supraneedeesom8040]

i dont have "packs" folder at the right side x) help

[@Rafi_kd2br]

It wont work for me the domain is getting rendered but not the smoke and on cycles render engine it doesnt render the smoke at all

[@fmtdamian]

Can I change a direction of this smoke to move from left to right ?

[@Olav3D]

Yup, in the flow object settings. Initial velocity.

[@fmtdamian]

@@Olav3D Great, thanks

[@tryitworks]

why did you save it in png to convert in mp4 and did not render to avi?

[@jonathantunstall1392]

because if the render crashes, you loose the whole video, but if rendered in pictures first, A you can export to whatever format you wish in a matter of seconds, and if it crashes you just render from the frame it crashed, saving loads of time if it does

[@sirluckaffe130]

@@jonathantunstall1392 Also it looks like that AVI sometimes alters the lighting slightly...atleast for me. Especially when it comes to dark locations with alot of artificial area lights.

how to use other domain than block?

Blasting is possible with detonation?? With python math simulation??

[@marshaltheo8673]

I have a problem when I export the animation of the smoke as fbx file or smtg else it dosent work it's just a huge block how do I fix it?

[@lens3973]

Well it's a simulation within blender so you'd need to export a picture or video, not a static 3d-model.

[@mhd112211]

Great tutorial, really short and informative! does anyone know how to import this to unreal engine?

will my laptop with Nvidia 940mx blow up If i trry this????

[@Skifledanabit]

It must be me, but my smoke looks different from the tutorial. at the same frame, following the same instructions, my smoke looks much wider, whereas the tutorial smoke is much thinner, higher and moves faster. I'm so confused as to why it's so different.

[@tusharmaurya493]

Can we change speed of smoke ??

@@tusharmaurya493 There is a velocity factor, but you can always just speed up the FPS

Can someone please help me a d respond to my comment I would be grateful. I made it to the end but the quality is hideous. I tried to increase max samples in both render and viewport, but it’s doing nothing. I put everything like in the video. I even followed steps acording to chat gtp to increase the quality with no results. Why is the quality so bad? Thank you.

can i make it start from frame 5 ?for example ?

[@alyxwarner2984]

just set the frame start in the timeline to five, but leave the cache frame start to 1, or y'know, just cut the first few frames in iMovie, that works just as well

[@Marcus-yq3ys]

Thank you.. is true and works… I rendered in cache from 0 to 120, and after I put in offset 90( wich is in my animation ) and Works great

[@sheraizepillay128]

Great tutorial, very simple to follow for a beginner like myself! I'm having one problem though, when I add the quick smoke effect, and I try to rescale the domain, the smoke also rescales and if I move the domain, the smoke moves as well. Is there any way I can fix this?

[@zzxjoanw]

If the Bake All button is greyed out, double check that you're in Object Mode.

[@DrRecio]

Why can´t never do the things in low resolution ?

[@Olav3D]

Because these videos are in 4K

[@alchemy5750]

For me, the "all" option completely makes the smoke disappear. "Modular" also does so. The only working one is the "replay", and that doesn't even simulate. Just kind of spawns the smoke in a stiff frame. I really don't like how they butchered the simulations in blender. Fluids became better with mantaflow but smoke and fire is now objectively worse, overcomplicated, extremely buggy that gives me flashbacks to 3DsMax and half the features don't even work. Instead of just adding geometry nodes in the next update, they should've spent a couple more years polishing Mantaflow. If not for the Cycles denoiser, I'd go back to Blender 2.79 just to simulate smoke.
