I've finally made my first cloud!

[@Slowtricks3333]

why is my cloud black?

[@nisbahmumtaz909]

your channel is a GOLD MINE for these kind of tips, hot damn word really needs to spread about the kind of content you make

[@BlenderVitals]

Appreciate the kind words!

[@ericroner7373]

Doesn't work for me. The cloud is invisible

[@light2937]

Thanks man, simple and easy to understand ^_^

[@Drobird23]

You need to explain the HDRI better

[@leekolb2027]

Short and to the point, thanks!

Amazing tutorial! 🖤🖤🖤

its the first tutorial which is very short and useful!!! thank you very much!!!

You’re welcome!

Mic drop.... Thats a game changer for me, cheers! :D

[@BlenderVitals]

You’re welcome

[@randomizzatore7732]

I did everything as described but my Cloud is invisible in Material Preview and Rendered mode, how can I fix this problem?

[@rcleinad]

make sure u are using cycle instead of eevee

[@penguinn5079]

reduce the size of Volume(empty), it should work.

[@TeacherClau]

Could you explain de part of HDRI please? Mine doesnt show any color, it´s opaque I don´t know what to do, in my world setting I have enviromental texture. I would appreciate any guidence thank you!

[@BlenderVitals]

If you have your environment texture connected to your world output, press “Open” and locate your HDRI file in your file browser. A HDRI is a special type of file which encompasses a 360 view of a real environment which you can use to light your scenes. You can find lots of free ones online, I typically get mine from PolyHaven.com After downloading, use it as the environment texture. Also, you can only see your HDRI and the effect of it in render mode. You can also make it transparent, which means you can’t see the HDRI environment in your scene but have the lighting still affect it. Go to Render properties -> Film -> Transparent. Hope this helps.

[@TeacherClau]

@@BlenderVitals I did it but it lights everything and not the cloud (which is the idea) and if I put a spot light it doesn’t react to it. How did you manage to change the color? I try but the color doesn’t change :(

[@BlenderVitals]

@@TeacherClau Try increasing the strength of the HDRI and rotating it on the Z-axis using a coordinate node. Also, try increase the strength of your light more than you’d think you need to. I use cycles for all of my renders so if you’re not already using it, test it out in cycles for more realistic lighting.

[@TeacherClau]

@@BlenderVitals I will try the first part! Thank you for you help! ❤️

[@benmanley9983]

@@BlenderVitals Would be awesome with a video explanation of this

[@JrgenFrderbergTvedt]

This is such a great tutorial, thank you ever so much !!

[@dgryzlovart]

That's incredible, thank you!)

[@kidonlsd6256]

Thanks for the great and dense tutorial! I have some issues with my clouds -- they are gray and have no reflections from the bottom side. Do you know how to fix it -- make them white and diffuse reflective?

[@zedfirenze]

Man, this is a great method. Nice stuff man!

[@PrinceOfBodom]

I like that you come straight to the point. But the cloud only works in solid mode for me. It gets invisible in render preview and material preview mode.

[@AnthonyBlueJr]

do we need to apply any of the modifiers ?when i render my animation the switch back and forth between the metaballs and the clouds

[@ChrisChoiThird]

this is Great~!

[@gabrielzim212]

nice

[@SATXBT_15]

used this to create a burnout effect thanks! couldn't find a good tutorial anywhere

[@hhgreggs_wife]

thanks to this i can now pose a recreation of a limbless mascot from a defunct company's model next to the cloud and make it green and make it look like it's passing gas in all seriousness thank you

[@Jonathan-nb9lc]

Incredible

[@liminal_vibes]

Can you show us how to animate a cloud? Good video!

[@xyster7]

Shockingly awesome!

[@Who-gi3fd]

The volume disappears when I'm too far away, how do I fix that?

[@PrometheusPhamarus]

If you are in viewport mode, perspective, it´s in the view tab, view and often the end values, if you are using camera viewport, it could be the camera clipping end that is the issue.

[@kidgeorgegreenery]

Or you could simply turn it into a PNG file and use as a simpler asset in your other projects

[@nymc4662]

visual geometry to mesh (cntrl+a)

[@Problembeing]

When I went to convert the metavballs to Visual geometry, it was ONLY option greyed-out. What's gone wrong? It won't allow me to convert it.

[@PrometheusPhamarus]

If you have the selected metaball as hidden in viewport, you will get the visual to geometry greyed out, since they are not visualized.

[@FedeRaposo]

epic!!!

[@marvelfactuniverse7938]

Material for cloud? Yeah no need

[@gojira_breathes_428]

Yeah but what if I wanna make a piss colored cloud. Didn’t think about that did you?

[@EnsaioNuclear]

@@gojira_breathes_428you can use color ramp

wow, thanks man. you save me. i search for a method what dont use physics for save resources

[@GoodJollyDay]

Could I also make very fluffy looking moss like that or is there a similar way to create a mossy look? O:

[@iamthemostnoobplayer8543]

Why my cloud dont appears in render and material mode it just appear in solid mode ?

[@vijeeshav8062]

why does my cloud look black ? after adding the spotlight

[@adii05pabs91]

Can i make some movement object with this?

[@BlueGuy1011]

how to change color of the cloud?

[@mikewilczynski]

I also wanted to know that! Mine is black.

[@SoAGits]

How to hide ball mesh, Are they visible during rendering?😮

[@VisitBeforeHumanPollute]

This method can work with particle system.

[@user-pi1sp2lo4c]

I love it. It's easy and good

[@jeanclaudedowningg]

my cloud is blackish grey how do I make it white without adding hdri ? Can't you make it white?

[@jeanclaudedowningg]

or do you have to use a light to make it white

[@gerdhuebner2848]

How could I copy the cloud easily? It is not copying the Modifier.

[@glory9213]

nice tuto ! do you know how do export cloud into unity project as fbx? I want to use these in unity but I can't get to how.

[@PrometheusPhamarus]

Hi glory9213, The fbx export format do not contain any volume data, skip it. Unity should be able to import the USD format, which blender can export. So you can export the blender scene to the USD scene file format, and it will create a volume folder, in there there should be a vdb file with the cloud, of course, you could just grab the VDB file from that folder and import as well in to unity.

[@glory9213]

@@PrometheusPhamarus yea so I have to learn cloud shader making in unity. Much thanks !

[@PrometheusPhamarus]

@@glory9213 Good luck, I am not using unity though, so how good it will handle vdb´s shading I don´t know. Unreal seem to have a pretty nice pipeline/shading for VDB´s, if you do a search for embergen and unreal.

[@gerdhuebner2848]

In 1 Minute, takes me 30 Minutes :D

[@mberg1215]

good tutorial except for the material. My cloud is dark grey and no idea how to make it bright white

[@scambankrunfraud]

I'm seeing the same thing, not sure how to fix that

[@mberg1215]

@@scambankrunfraud I found out that the issue was the lighting in the scene. My scene was very dark except I couldn't "see" it because the dummy lighting in the editor makes it look like everything is lit, plus the ambient light needs to be cranked up somewhere if you don't have actual lights in your scene.

[@user-cl5jf6ud7b]

cool

[@FAL_RACKETS]

great🎉

[@sm1leyworld]

I did everything but my cloud is black :/

[@m4ya133]

If I wanted to move the cloud in an animation, is there anyway to keep its shape without it kinda morphing/ shape shifting throughout the whole thing?

[@Zorori]

Voronoi Texture

[@cleberlimacls]

Why I can't move, copy or do any editing after finishing the cloud? Is that correct?

[@lucia_rem9854]

You have to move the original mesh maybe you are trying to move the volume

[@cleberlimacls]

@@lucia_rem9854 yup. I figured later. Tks for answering ;D

[@Snotyy]

if i trying to render clouds in gpu cycles, they just vanish. Pls halp

same happens to me have you find any solution?

way on animating thiss?

dude i cant even make the shape of the cloud...

export it as an alembic file to unreal engine

how do i get rid of the ball because everytime i render the ball is still there inside the cloud@@PrometheusPhamarus
