Hi Pavel thanks for the tutorial, how do you solve the issue whereby the edge split makes the whole mesh shading flat. Would like to make it smooth but with the effect on.

[@onaylamiyorum]

Thanks for the video! I tried but emission effect isn't see.

[@pavelolivaart]

Thank you :) You have to enable glow in render settings (if you are using Eevee). Cycles do not have that fog glow by default and you have to make it via compositing. :)

[@matiasdelacruz9210]

Hello, unfortunately its not possible. It can be done via shader using similar technique, but it needs to be recreated inside the engine :) I would suggest to search for something like "Unity dissolve effect" :)

[@matiasdelacruz9210]

@@pavelolivaart uh, ok thanks!

[@kenjibailly]

I've repeated the tutorial over 20 times now (first 1 min 30 secs), but it doesn't want to work for me. The weird thing is, there's a new button that looks like this () next to the Vertex Group in the Displace modifier. When I click it, it starts to "work". Unfortunately it works inverted, like this is intended I guess. Which means that the empty doesn't need to touch it or even be near it to impact the displace. When put over the figure, it doesn't reconstruct though. So It seems to work, but not like intended. What could I be doing wrong? The vertex group "dissolve" is assigned to the entire object, checked with select and deselect.

[@pavelolivaart]

That button just inverts the influence of the vertex group. In 0:53 I've inverted it using those 2 input fields, so keep in mind that to do that as well ;) .... also keep don't forget to use edge split modifier, that should be above the rest of the modifiers to split the geometry. I would suggest to check the comment section as there were similar problems before ;)

[@kenjibailly]

@@pavelolivaart I checked the entire comment section before posting. I did recheck them, I put the edge split modifier in different positions again. I also tried to change the other position of the modifiers, but that doesn't help. What I did do from your comment is reverse the lowest and highest. So the lowest is 0 and highest is .37 (cm here instead of m in your video). This cancels out the reverse button I had to click in order for things to change. Unfortunately I cannot get my object not displaced. It's always displaced, if I change the empty's position, it will change the displacement, but the farther from the object, the object becomes invisible. When putting the empty sphere right on top of it, it gives the same result as it being very far off. So my problem is: how can I make sure the object is NOT displaced when the empty isn't touching it or far away from it like in your video :s Thank you for commenting btw, I appreciate it a lot! Hopefully I could find out why I'm stuck here, cause I really like your method of using the displacement :)

[@kenjibailly]

I found a solution! When I put the "lowest" to 37 instead of .37 cause in your video it says "m" and mine says "cm", it finally works now. I thought it was a different problem as it did displace, just not how it's supposed to. Allright, I'll try to follow the rest of the tutorial now! :D

[@pavelolivaart]

@@kenjibailly Good to hear that :) Ye, this effect is based on your model/scene size. Also good thing to always do if something is not working to check, if the object is normalized in scale (scale set to 1,1,1) :)

[@badlotto]

@@kenjibailly This just helped me out, thanks!

[@badlotto]

Is there a way to animate the controller to increase in scale and have the model burn as the controller gets larger? Right now it only burns if I move the controller.

[@badlotto]

I just figured out I can do this by key framing the Lowest parameter of the VertextWeightProximity Modifier on the model.

[@pavelolivaart]

@@badlotto Sorry for late renspond, that's exactly what I wanted to propose :)

[@vfxnder3365]

Hey Pavel, Thanks a mil for the great tutorial, its an awesome effect! Just a quick question, is there a way to get all of the little embers to completely dissapear after scaling up the controller? For some reason when scaling it up it leaves a bunch of emissive particles that are small but still noticible no matter what size i scale too.... I have the scale applied, no double verts, no normal issues. :D

[@kendarr]

Did you find a way to fix it?

[@pavelolivaart]

Hi Alex, I am sorry, but I somehow overlooked your question. You can only make them disapper using mask modifier I've shown in the end of the video. It's not possible to make them disapper as you would expect, but this is the downside of this realtime approach. And the reason why is that when you displacing polygons (making them smaller) there's not "zero state", so those polygons get flippe dand starts scaling up again :)

[@vfxnder3365]

@@pavelolivaart No worries, I ended up doing that, thanks for getting back to me! :)

[@DemonicBloke]

This is a really impressive tutorial but being newish to blender, the reason why you did most of the steps was totally lost on me, especially all the nodes and linkages. Some subtitles explaining what you were doing and why would of helped alot. As it stands it abit beyond my understanding to be of practical use.

[@pavelolivaart]

Thank you so much. Actually it really old tutorial and such effect could be dont now more procedurally using geometry nodes. I may do a new tutorial in the future with voiceover explaining this effect using geometry nodes :)

[@catchen7253]

The shading editor is not clear in some part (example for to connect the nodes) and the word is too small to watch ! example is: 04:32 clamp connect to which node? 05:08 noise texture connect to which node? 03:59 substract connect to which node? 3:34 gradient texture connect to which node? ........ I am so confused! I learn Blender 1 year! This is my second time to give someone negative feedback.

[@pavelolivaart]

Thank you for the feedback :) In 04:32 it's a math node set to multiply, in 05:08 it's color ramp node, in 03:59 it's copied the same node and set to multiply (math node) nad in 3:34 it's also math node set to add....math node changes it's name based on the math operation ;) I agree that commentary would help a lot, but my mic and english is trash :D

Check your normals. You may have to flip the normals or make the strength to negative.

hello. Thanks for sharing. I would like to know if it work on more simple models. I Tried on a simple cube (subdivided) but i only get spikes. Am i missing something?

[@pavelolivaart]

Hello, it should work even on more complex simple meshes, however keep in mind, that number of polygons limits "the resolution" of those disconnected pieces. So a cube with low polycount may produce weird results. Also you have to use edge split modifier to make those faces be able to disconnect each other :)

[@jean-lucdegbo2496]

@@pavelolivaart Thanks for answering. Finally got the point. I added a second displace modifier and it worked for a subdivided cube.

[@aniketjoshi3582]

Am I missing out something?? I tried to burn cigarette blender by following your tutorial but, not able to do so, the displacement modifier doesnt affect my model at all, what else could I do?

[@pavelolivaart]

Hello Aniket, try to read through the comments first as some people had the same problem. It might be caused for many reasons such as scene scale, dispalcement strenght, empty scale, not assigning vertex group, not using edge split modifier before (on top of modifier stack) displacement. If any of those solutions wont help, we can try other solutions ;)

[@SwishFXX]

at 10:25 when i set the sphere to bounds it is still visable, any idea why?

[@pavelolivaart]

Do you mean that the sphere is visible in the rendered image? Because if you set it to bounds, it will disappear only in the viewport. To make it not to render you have to turn off that camera icon in the outliner :)
