Blow Realism in Your Blender Environments with WIND EFFECTS

Even though it's an 8 minute video, in just 4 minutes I'll show you this awesome and easy technique to create some lovely wind breeze animations for your foliage in Blender such as grass, leaves, trees and bushes using weight paint gradients, an empty null and expressions.
We start by adding a displace modifier to our foliage mesh. After tweaking the settings, we head over to the weight painting. We'll do a quick weight paint gradient on our mesh. After this is done we create a new empty null, which we'll animate with an expression that changes its location over time. After setting the displace texture to clouds noise, the modifier only moves the mesh around based on the weight.
It should be fairly easy to follow along, but let me know if you've got any questions or anything. 🍃

[@national_bread]

@@tiedtkeio Hey! I'm just having a go with this now - is there a way to edit the weight paint after ive already got it set up? Thanks :)

[@tiedtkeio]

@@national_bread Yeah you can just select the brush tool instead of the gradient tool, select the weight you want to paint (add or remove) and start painting. ☺️

[@national_bread]

@@tiedtkeio ooh! Thank you so much, I've learnt a lot today :)

[@abelmalonzo9177]

this clearly helps,, rather than adding force field

[@tiedtkeio]

Nice! Thanks for watching Abel! 🙂

[@ianzander5057]

thank you for the video. I find that instead of clouds as the texture, try using marble. it seems more realistic. for my plants anyways

[@tiedtkeio]

That's great! I will try that! :D

[@yanei48]

Hello, thanks for the tutorial, one question, if I have a rigid panel with pieces of vinyl that hang and they move, like a curtain for parties but made of rigid vinyl, will this tutorial work? I want to simulate how the air moves these rigid bits 😅

[@cloudsquall8624]

i've been looking for exactly like this thank you. one question, you're using bagapie, how about using forcefield?

[@DrBombayOfficial]

🤩🙏

[@MR.DinoDigger]

What is the name of the grass file that you use in this video? Would love to buy it.

[@tiedtkeio]

It's the BagaPie addon with assets, the link is in the video description. ☺️

[@handofdecay]

It is inverted. It is inverted. It is inverted. It is inverted. It is inverted. It is inverted. It is inverted. It is inverted. 3:45 aaaaaahhh thank you....

[@tjeerdroukens5110]

I did exactly everything you did to an imported plant I bought on turbosquid but I doesnt want to move at all

[@tjeerdroukens5110]

Nvm, I found that I had to change the strength and put it way higher (above 1.0) to be able to see it moving

[@tiedtkeio]

@@tjeerdroukens5110 Great! 🙏
