[@SuperCrafter55]

For people having difficult with animating it I got good results from adding the noise texture & set position texture with the noise into offset and then set position placed after volume to mesh. I then added a vector math node set to add with a position node plugged into the 1st vector and for the second vector I utilized Bad Normals strat for grass and set the first factor to #frame/24, tho the animation is a bit slow.

[@AustO-tf9sl]

thank you very much, (:

[@mainecoon6122]

Can't get enough of your vids. The way you talk it through is one of a kind.

[@kritarthsuvarna7360]

we need more of these videos my dude. great work!!

[@leeluisgomezlarosa]

Great Video! I didn't know that it's possible to override samples for a view layer, I'm definetly gonna use that

The purple circle literally just looks like the current doctor who intro

[@Seymour101]

The future is here , we can (almost) literally download more RAM , thanks vagon. (yes i know cloud computing's been around for a while now , I've just never seen it utilized for anything else than gaming)

[@Benji_3D]

this is epic

[@4.0.4]

Not that the Voronoi texture idea doesn't work, but the thing they did could be replicated with Geometry nodes and 200IQ.

[@mcan-piano4718]

I agree, it didnt look so similar. Haha yes..

[@Lrt.3d]

are you telling me i did't see this tutorial for this long? precious material

[@ImSchrodingerCat]

The Orb thing in smoke looks like the 13th Doctors Intro in Doctor Who. Looks really cool

[@jack-hale]

I don't know if you've seen it, but your outcome looked very very much like the doctor who titles from the newest season. they change it up with every doctor - and yours looks just like their newest outcome, which i've always wanted to know how they did it. Thanks for the vid!

[@davidpurple3698]

Thanks for the video. Lovely music.

[@buzzdx]

want to do something cool in blender: start by watching the cgmatter tutorials ^^ true to live =) great video

[@itsahexagon]

anyone else reminded of netflix Dark with the person in yellow rain jacket and the swirling/glowing thing like the "dark matter"?

[@BadNormals]

I checked it out, it does remind me of that

i recently discovered this channel of yours filled with amazing works of art. u deserve more views.

[@ardianfirmansyah3558]

Nice! Make more like this!

[@MastaPFav]

Hey there, great tutorial, but as soon as I get to using mantaflow, following the immediate steps you take for the particles - from turning off gravity, to adding normal flow, the forcefield, all of it -my simulation doesn't look like this at all. And when trying to change parameters, the simulation doesn't change accordingly. I'm using Blender 3.0 from when it released to the public officially.

[@haydon1825]

-Make sure to bake the simulation under the domain cache each time you change settings. -Add the Force Fields from the Add menu, don't apply force field physics to a mesh like I did

[@Iretemi3d]

Nice video bro

[@daliasaeed5668]

One day your name will be too big and I'll tell others "Well, I know about him since his normals were bad"

14th doctor's intro is super ominous huh

[@mandoman3981]

Wonderful! I was using the Blender Guru's videos on making a donut and decided to make it run around and eat godzilla. Crazy? Yeah. Fun? Of course. A good use of time? Probably not. Nonetheless this video has given birth to donutzilla, it was worth it.

[@violettracey]

Cool!

[@DrSeaDevil]

That effect reminds me of the 13th doctor title sequence start. Any Doctor Who fans know if this is just coincidence or not

[@mikolajm9175]

Great video, wow! How do you approach such abstract ideas? Is it a product of some previous projects that you completed or is it an outcome of experimenting in blender?

[@BadNormals]

I'd say it's more the experimentation. Also, I mainly like to work with simulations and node based things so it was not a complete jump into unknown. The most important part is actually the fact that I made seven versions. The first ones were horrific but the seventh one was already pretty okay. That's how I like to work.

[@DriesduPreez]

0:26 Was that the LOST smoke monster sound?

[@math-rq5mn]

[@AA-ld6eo]

Houdini is bad ass 😎

[@michaelwerkov3438]

do particle nodes exist yet? blender 2.4 had better particles than anything since... but we desperately need better particle control. Pyroevil did some awesome work but has disappeared it seems... particle based softbodies and snow etc... luckily others seem to be continuing his work. but... exposing particles and somehow their enumeration to the user as nodes... we've been waiting for so long I've forgotten to check of 3.0 has it!

How i haven't subscribed you yet😍😍😍

[@30-hz]

copied the node tree at 2:09 precisely and the edges of the voronoi are still jagged. would be great if you went a bit slower in these tutorials instead of rushing through them. using 3.0.0

[@BadNormals]

Sure, I'll keep that in mind

[@arnodplays]

im having some problems making it so can u pls upload a full tutorial it would be great... Thanks and Happy New Year

[@fareed006]

Me too

[@salikabbasi5448]

I think trapcode particular or flow could make quick work of the particle parts, but the light might be off without some finangling

[@robertkubu814]

how exactly did you do the movement of the mesh with set position node and 4d noise texture can't quite get it same as you, mine always rip itself inpart

[@gustavknak8973]

Amazing tutorial! I just don't get how you make the particles react with the force field? My force fields doesn't affect the particles?

[@vortexsayshi]

How do you get the voronoi texture and the uv sphere in the same place!?

[@mreverything3906]

I don't get it I Was following then suddenly u added mysterious, so I couldn't get it because I don't know what u added

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

I couldn’t figure out how to use your code but I used the sponsored service I like it much more that render farm type services I’ve tried in the past. I couldn’t figure out how to use your code (i watched working 10 mins of uploading) but I emailed them about your video positively lol thank you for putting me onto vagon shit came at the perfect time for me

[@BadNormals]

Thanks! Good to hear you like the service too, when you create your computer and it asks to add balance to your account, there is a "I have a promo code" at the top left of the screen, there's where you can use it.

[@3d-illusions]

I think there was a cycles update the other day that’ll let you render the particles without geometry.

[@BadNormals]

Yes, just after I had done everything. 😀

[@3d-illusions]

@@BadNormals mega doh 😄

[@RaphaelBraun]

It should be quite simple to create a mesh with edges that connects the k-nearest-neigbours in a particle system in python. With the skin modifier you might directly get a good result . I think I'll test that now and see if it works. Thx for the idea

[@lewistaylorFX]

Using python for this will be deathly slow and single threaded.

[@RaphaelBraun]

@@lewistaylorFX I actually tried it. With a brute force nearest neighbor search with numpy I get real-time performance for creating a mesh from a particle system of about 1000 particles. The only thing that needs to be computed is the nearest neighbor graph. Python is not necessarily slow if you know ehat you are doing. My prove of concept NN implementation uses a naive brute force algorithm, which will become slow for lets say more than 10000 particles. There are however dedicated libraries with way better algorithms than what I tried (e.g. (py)flann). With those building the NN graph would probably only take milliseconds even for millions of particles. Currently the slowest part by a huge margin however is the skin modifier. I guess I could create the complete mesh in python without the skin modifier, which should make that approach quite fast and scalable. I'll share a link here if I find a satisfying solution.

[@lewistaylorFX]

@@RaphaelBraun Interesting. I wonder how the perf would be at 100,000 particles? It's three lines of VEX code in houdini to do this, which JIT compiles and runs pretty quick. Do post a link if you get something sexy, very interested to see it.

[@BadNormals]

That's cool. I'm not much of a coder myself so definitely excited to see the results.

[@RaphaelBraun]

@@BadNormals Hmm KZbin seems to swallow my comments, probably because of the links. One last try: I uploaded some demos to YT including github links for the .blend file and some explanation. They are called "Blender particle KNN demo".

[@peepinlechien2560]

Is the project file on Patreon ?

[@advaitchougule242]

I wanted to know how make procedural path using geometry nodes, which also affects particles system in realtime I have seen one geometry nodes tutorial on it but it was for geometry nodes attributes Which is out dated

[@BadNormals]

I'd wait until particle nodes get released, this should happen this year hopefully

[@maq3009]

You are super smart

[@Diego-A053]

Im confused bc when I enter the chafing area I press add and I search for Uc sphere but it doesn’t appear there, so can someone explain how to do it pls?

[@larsityosmarsilyet5933]

Buddy, your work is great. May I ask why is Blender gives a crash if you try to do this effect like the Disney version?

[@BadNormals]

Well Blender's physics simulations don't work together very well. They are very separated. Hopefully the new node based solvers will fix this issue a bit.

[@tistalagosta3449]

keep up with those cool vfx 🧡💙
