5 YEARS In BLENDER Before I Knew About This

[@1polygonewithme]

‼‼HEADS UP in Blender 3.4 The bake kept crashing. I switched to blender 3.3, and it worked OK. If you're having issues with caching, switch to blender 3.3.‼‼

[@pornstarSR]

Im also having issue with the bake. 3.4.1 crashes for sure, 3.3 wasnt working at first, it wouldnt capture the frames. it starts the bake but the cache is empty. its weird cause the viewport cache shows the sim. 3.3 works but I had to save AS A 3.3 file type ( easy, open in 3.3 and save ). not just loading the 3.4.1 file and trying to bake.

[@vrayprof327]

for me not worked 3.3 version, so I switched to an older version (2.82) that I had already installed in my pc and finally worked. don't ask me why🤷‍♀

[@pornstarSR]

@@vrayprof327 Agreed Im still having problems with caching the sim in 3.3 and 3.4 I thought I had a workaround earlier, and now its broken again

[@pornstarSR]

seems so far that the Inner Cube collisions are causing my break. I built the scene without the center "inner" cube and its caching and working.

[@krypt2k25]

Lts versions are always the best

[@spacepenguin2570]

Just found you. Most professional motion graphics and simulations done in blender quickly probably ever. Wow great job keep it up. Shocked you only have 2k subs, you deserve way more

[@arsenart648]

True

Amazing tutorial and the alembic workaround to get hairs on the cloth particles is awesome! Love it!

[@gaurisam]

I thank my stars that I stumbled upon you. Maaann PLEASE NEVER STOP MAKING TUTORIALS. Keep exploring more possibilities. We are all here for it! 😊

[@noaburr]

Awesome results and looks very easy to follow! One thing you might've missed while recording the tutorial - you hid the emitter in viewport mode but not in renders. (11:40) Also consider using the Timing panel in the particle system settings to get some variation in hair length. Just crank up the random slider in Hair > Render > Timing. 100% agree with you otherwise to use multiple particle systems - especially for fur. Animals have multiple layers of fur with different properties, so having multiple systems and making each one longer, thinner, lighter and less dense than the last really helps sell the look of realistic fur. You can get *really* pretty results with animated/simulated hair just by following that rule of thumb.

[@Jaymee599]

Yo, awsome tutorial!! A tip to bake all the particle systems together; under each layer of the particle system, go the the cache settings and give each one a different name, ie hair1, hair2 etc. You should then be able to bake all dynamics. I've done this a lot for dynamic paints when using multiple layers, so I'm assuming it'll be a similar story for the particle system :D

[@attimp4]

Yo, this is mad helpful. Thank you!

[@fakenamerealguy7084]

We've got a hero over here, ty!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Also, always check disk cache so you won't loose th cache after a restart. Otherwise they are baked to the tmp folder, which gets cleared after a restart

[@animatorFan74]

This is awesome..... really awesome job here. So glad you found this combination of tools, using explode with cloth sim and hair sim. I didn't even know you could get this kind if layering going on with these effects. It's freakin cool.... love it :)

[@senseoffender9655]

holy shit dude thanks for putting this out there :) i had all my fingers crossed for this ever since i saw you short. Please don't give up your search for vellum sims in blender ;)

[@tungphamquang788]

I have a problem when baking the hair , they are straight up like there is wind force even those I didn't have any force and I try with both gravity on n off

[@elijahkattke9592]

Had the same issue.

Please make more vfx tutorials like this. Thanks!

[@benjaminehrenberg]

This is exactly what I’m searching for. Amazing videos. Thanks for sharing.

[@Rengine_3D]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Loved creating it! 😍

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Always check "disk cache" when doing a bake of a simulation, otherwise you loose everything after a system restart. If you don't use disk cache, it writes everything to the tmp folder and this gets cleared after restarting

[@brandosbucket]

With blender particles, can you do things you could do in c4d xpresso? like tell it to spawn new particles when the parent particles collide with something, and get particle position data, and spawn particles when they reach a certain velocity?

[@mycroft16]

That was one of the most well done tutorials I've seen. You wasted no time. You covered everything as you were doing it. You blasted through a fairly advanced sim and yet made it extremely accessible to follow. Well done sir! Subscribing.

[@slimsheikki]

damn, thank you for the great tutorial, keep it up and you'll blow up any day soon! i've been searching for these types of tutorials, so, you have my subscription :)

Exciting technique! for use it as in this case or to explore other possibilities. Thanks for the tutorial and for the file!

[@pamparam4637]

Dude, your tutorials are like some little chest with some unbelievable gems! Thanks

[@creative_kumeluf]

damn this tutorial is sooo cool, been using blender for 2 years now and there is still so much more to learn through great tutorials like this one :D

[@pretendingmakingsmth3125]

First thing (sticky cloth) is possible at some point. One friend of mine recreated this thing and it was pretty cool (detaching cloth from one another)

[@LFPAnimations]

For some reason it never clicked to me that you can layer simulations in blender by baking then one at a time and then saving as alembic.

[@thedevo01]

This channel is golden! Apparently the YT recommendation algorithm is working again. Sub'd!

[@nonexternal]

A trick you might use to replicate the peeling effect. Is having vertex points on each side pinned, then you use a combiner function in the vertex data node iirc. and use a object to control a weight emission on top of it, drag it down and have the vertex weight mix/edit turn the pins of as u go down. Ud probably need more than that for the pulling effect. Maybe it could be done with Sewing links, thats removed in some fashion with the same technique

[@khlorghaal]

sounds like it would work, i would use softbody instead, for edge plasticity, which is the closest thing to proper tearing but when you push a sim to do things it isnt meant to, it can be enormous labor and compute time to get decent stability

[@RomboutVersluijs]

You should throw in an animated harmonic item. This can attract tue hair parts and they will follow it a vit. You can also use voids. Thats also a super nice one

[@1polygonewithme]

I'm using blender 3.4 soon as I hit the bake button it Crashes is anyone else having the same issue.???? I've tried reducing particles and subdivision with no results. Same issue crashes.

[@JaredLodwickDesign]

Same issue. It works if I scrub through the timeline, though. It can't be my hardware, must be a software bug.

[@JaredLodwickDesign]

A slightly more effective (though time consuming) method is to skip through each frame one by one, since 3.4 seems to delete cache data if you scrub backwards? Turn on 'disk cache', scrub, then export as Alembic. Hope that helps.

Awsome tut! I love seing stuff flying away so this one gained you my SUB 🙂

[@costamikael]

Dude this is amazing! It is impressive because the result is something we only expect to find in houdini. Congrats bro! 🔥🔥

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Bake all should work properly. Because it will bake everything system, both particle and wind simulation at once. Again use disk cache here and save a new file so it will load and show next time you open the file after a system restart

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Ps i believe the trick to get them s bake all to work, is to click delete all bakes before you could convake all. It always works properly for me when I do that

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Ps Al's take note, when you do the baking, do not change your file name. Otherwise when you reopen it, you loose Al links to the baked cache. You can rely nk it by renaming the folder and files, but that's tedious work

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Did you actually tried the hair bsdf? I the nk it will look even better, it specially made for rendering hair betterr and more realistic

so i am following a tutorial of a guy that followed a tutorial of a guy that (probably) had the time to read the docs? what a time to be alive fellow scholars

[@danelongden]

that's literally how research works lmao

[@horiamoldovean6074]

Men love your friking tutorials, keep it up you gonna get a lot of subscribers real soon. Love how you approach it as recreating a lot of the effects from Houdini, a software that I want to learn but the license gets me every to postpone it. Also blender might become as powerful as Houdini in a couple of years.

[@pablito4323]

GREAT JOB! this looks cleeeeeean

Pretty sure that if I tried this now, my PC tower would start to float up and shoot into the stratosphere. I'll tackle this when I've upgraded some of my hardware.

[@sece09]

This is sick! Keep making these

[@EladBarness]

Great tutorial! P.s you could do the fabric thingy you showed in blender actually in a few different ways, you could use meatballs in combination of cloth sim Or maybe sticky particles You could also to it with geometry nodes with closest path and some math or with simulation nodes But again, amazing stuff!

[@christiangschweng1552]

And now I know, how to make stuff desintegrate, as if Thanos snapped his fingers :D

[@rrgeada]

my hair starts to go crazy, don't know why, I did the same as you but with a different obj

[@TheNewton]

Thanks for the tut. 2:06 add explode modifier - doesn't do anything So what's the key piece? Shouldn't it just work since there's a particle system like the docs say is needed?

[@attimp4]

Are you saying it isn't working for you? Or just responding to what I said in the video?

[@Achelon]

Wouldn't it be possible by using the blender cloth stitching to be able to get the same type of look as that ripping effect?

[@GaryParris]

Nice work, yeah i think you are really just getting started :O)

[@tiagotiagot]

The question shouldn't be "is that possible on Blender?", but "how much of the work has already been done to make that on Blender?". Almost everything can be done on Blender, in some cases it's just a single button press, in others you need to write code yourself and/or do a lot of things manually.

[@BloodlessRMZ]

It's not the particles that's gonna explode, it's my laptop.

[@archlyn1]

Thank you! More please. Pretty please!

[@JRBEditor]

quick question but if you were to animate a character and possibly save it as a alembic would this effect work to create some sort of disintegration look the main point is the animation of the character and not a still model. not sure if you tested this yourself but figured id ask before attempting this myself

[@attimp4]

Yes this would work just fine. The tutorial I showed in the beginning of the video demonstrates that exactly.

[@JRBEditor]

@@attimp4 yeah that’s where I got that idea I appreciate it the tut definitely something imma add to some animations I do in the future

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Going bchrck out mantissa, this dude creates crazy scenes in blender. Lots to fbthen will nake your system cry for more power. Vut they are so cool

[@mycroft16]

Houdini is... well, damn. Blender keeps updating and adding new things and streamlining, etc. Sims aren't there yet. Houdini is the clear leader. But I think Blender will get to a point where it's at least close enough for most purposes. It has already made significant leaps in just the last couple of years.

Nice results, i like It :) One question, when i bake an animation, what Will take the weight of the bake? The file when i baked It? And what Is an alembic file?

[@attimp4]

not sure what you mean by "take the weight" but alembic is just a file type. Used mainly for holding animation data for a mesh.

[@SantoSVD98]

@@attimp4 I mean that when u bake an animation u have to store all the baked information and this take a lot of Memory space (sometimes Gigabites depending on the animation) . My question was, when the Memory of the Baked animation Is stored. In the current blended file, in Another temp file, etc...?

[@attimp4]

​@@SantoSVD98 It saves to it's own folder. Not the blend file. When you bake you can select the file output for the cache. By default it will save the cache to your temp folder.
