Somethings I glossed over that may help your sim turn out better. - Select your domain, under "Gas" Try increasing the Vorticity - Select your domain, under "Advanced" change "Compression Volumes" to "zip" - Select your domain, under "Adaptive Domain" try changing "Add Resolution" to 1 - Try adding forces to your scene Hopefully if you are having issues this may help a little

[@GaryParris]

also increase the noise steps after the sim bake, to add more detail

[@sergosdeoliveros8033]

@@GaryParris would you do that in the existing nodes or would you add a noise modifier ? if it's in the nodes do you have any recommendations regarding the values ? thank you :)

[@GaryParris]

@@sergosdeoliveros8033 you can do either they are all modifiers including nodes, and as a result you can mix and match, just experiment, i'm not the authority on it but have watched other doing it effectively in other ways you may not have thought of, experiment with Blender more than one way to do it :O) and Just Enjoy :O)

[@GaryParris]

i love that you are trying to do it in native Blender, use and move the tool forward, not just give up and use houdini like some do, always good to see people pushing the boundaries of Blender and perceptions of what is and isn't possible! great to see, and yes he is aweseome i love his youtubes!

[@sgray7]

Thank you for sharing - learning a lot from you and those you reference

[@jamesc2683]

There is a To Sphere function, shortcut is Shift Alt S hope that saves some time! Works on selection in edit mode so subdiv cube, apply, use this and you'll be good to go. It works like any other operator 0.0 -> 1.0

[@attimp4]

Thank you!

[@jamesc2683]

@@attimp4 Sure thing! :D Thank you for the tutorials

[@moostar109]

@@attimp4 there is also another way for achieving this quickly, just go into preferences - Add-ons and tick the checkbox for Add Mesh: Extra Objects. After that if you hit Shift+A and navigate to mesh there is a "round cube". After adding the round cube to your scene you can change the radius in the object settings on the left down side of the viewport.

[@ausrinerutkauskaite6526]

@@moostar109 but with Extra objects -> round cube you don't get those nice UV's :/

[@moostar109]

​@@ausrinerutkauskaite6526 oh ok, well for this project the UV coordinates are irrelevant, but otherwise you can go into editmode -> press F3 -> type: uv unwrap, then the UV might be fixed not sure though because Im not on my PC to check if it works

[@aleksandrn5156]

Top notch content! The idea of recreating houdini things in blender is really great, love it! subscribed and staying tuned👍

[@rileyb3d]

Just found your channel, and so glad I did! You're a fantastic teacher, great edit, you know what you're talking about. You've got a subscriber for life!

[@YTRINX]

Your channel is having some amazing growth. I checked yesterday and you were at 4k subs and you already have 4.31k! Can’t wait to see what else you make

[@snakeverg9390]

I totally love this volume shader settings you've showed, thanks for interesting vid!

[@Menta_]

thanks for motivating me to continue to learn blender man, cool stuff you re making, much appreciate you sharing :)

[@matejivi]

Cool stuff! Will continue to watch your houdini like sims for sure.

[@ridkurn]

So glad I found this channel, keep going with the good work!

[@adamsinda3591]

Keep it up. I really love what you have been adding the to Blender community.

[@iianii]

Holy shit. You are doing the most amazing stuff in blender. I had no idea any of these things were even...possible at all.

[@RedsBusker]

These tutorials are amazing man. Thanks for this content

[@zalitov]

Hey pal! Great work, thanks a lot for sharing. Looking forward to try it out!

[@minhho7006]

This is seriously insane. Love the creativity.

[@homemade_vancity]

Awesome!! Mac user here. Had Houdini Indie on my system for sometime learning what I could because, well, it's the best for this sort of thing. Blender has come a long way and with the development of particle nodes coming for 3.6 this hopefully will get easier (less resource taxing) for our systems. Love this tutorial. Thank you. Holding out hope that with the particle system updates they will incorporate some really good geo nodes for erosion simulations for terrain modelling, like Houdini.

[@wiggohedlund5871]

Looks amazing man keep doing these videos

[@theDyingArts]

These videos are dope dude, keep them up.

[@noahdeshayes4780]

commenting for the algorithm and for the quality of the explanations, truly hard to find anywhere else

[@mizuofficial]

Damn this looks so good...gotta try it this week !

[@lightouer4562]

Omg, COOL! I came up with something like this a year ago with animated smoke, but my post on reddit wasn't noticed

[@premainteractive]

¡¡Amazing!! Thanks for all the details :)

[@slykuiper]

youre killing it with this new stuff

[@attimp4]

thank you thank you

[@daniellord-vera6987]

love your work just curious im planing to build a pc soon and was wondering what would I need parts that could handle heavy heavy loads of blender work detailed projects new to pc ? :D

[@KennyPhases]

Another great example of why Blender is truly amazing. Thank you for showing us this! You've earned a Sub!

[@nardatronic]

If you have the Add Mesh extra objects enabled you can add a round cube without having to cast etc.

[@KennyPhases]

was just going to comment this

[@horiamoldovean6074]

damn bro u a god! love these vids keeeep it upppp!

[@brighttendaimuvirimi1905]

Thanks for the great tutorial, here's my subscription

[@violettracey]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@sol_mental]

Incredible, just astonishing! I do suppose if we find a way to deliver similar results in eevee it's totally possible to go for animations, but hey, you're the magician, not me.

[@ExVatic]

Amazing videos! As a novice I would love if you also ran through how you put together the 'simple scene' that you used as a backdrop, I noticed you did something similar in another video of yours.

[@strupe1337]

Loved this!!! I’m new to simulations and baking though so I would’ve loved to see how u did the baking and why. I guess this video is more towards intermediate+ blender users but still. Also it would be nice to know how long it took u to render that image, just to get an idea if I’m doing something wrong or if I even should consider trying to create something like this! Amazing work dude

[@strupe1337]

I just watched the end again and noticed u said 6h render time, sorry!

[@pfvssouza]

Hey, there's an easier way of getting the sphere with good topology. You can enable the "Extra Objects" addon that comes with blender, and select the Round Cube option from the mesh menu. Then, just set the radius to 1.0 on the properties menu that pops up.

[@Syfmuna]

thanks for this sick tutorial, i liked it so much i'm going to spend a week rendering a 10 second animation

[@Syfmuna]

the render estimated 96 hours, got two hours in, and then crashed. I will stick with the still images :>

[@nucreates]

This is beautiful!

[@lidiatorresprado]

Great video, 👍👍 is there any risk doing this render I mean frozen pc due low resources?

[@tomrichardsonstudio]

you're a legend!

[@rerun_haze5713]

thanks for challenging yourself!

[@Mind-Splitter]

agreed, Bad Normals is too smart. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@Mind-Splitter]

Also I appreciate you always shouting out the people you learned particular things from!

[@HamzaARTi]

a better way to do the cube sphere thing is just add a cube subdivide it and press shift alt S (to sphere ) and drag ur mouse to the right and boom perfect sphere or activate the extra shape addon that have a spherical cube already

[@Nexifly]

ur goated man

[@petiegoodman1792]

Any suggestions for a good C4D/ Houdini style noodle simulation done in Blender?

[@paulduplessis6113]

I need more of your Blender Houdini content! LOVIT! I would love more motion graphics content for blender, I feel like that is lacking and your content could fill a void. Don't get me wrong, you can find some motion graphics tutorials for blender, however they don't seem to get the same hype or result as other programs like C4D which is basically made for motion graphics. Anyway, I like your content!

[@mind_glowing]

Very interesting tutorial! I'm wondering, what are your hardware specs?

[@briost123]

Great video!

[@peterlaverty9397]

I would love a tutorial on colour dust explosions. there is one tutorial but it is not great. I believe its possible in Houdini and C4D. I think a lot of people would like that.

[@bUildYT]

damn, thats good

[@rakibhasan1300]

Continue Upload this series like Houdini

[@RemmyMusic1]

would it be possible to swap the object with something else while keeping everything else in tact?

[@AllegedlySpiffy]

6 hours?! Nuts.

[@wdkpwr6586]

Hey nice tutorial :D Could you please make tut for the first smoke thats shown in the video? :D That looks really different and smooth

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

I'd like to be able to make that too - with the thick dense clumps...

[@Ooljemusic]

Hello nice tutorial

[@attimp4]

I'm sorry, I'm not sure I really understand.

[@justpoppinthings]

How do I increase the amount of smoke an object creates? I want it to fill the screen over time

[@jonathans9894]

Pls help: how do I bake the smoke simulation????

[@hellaocd]

You're nutty 🖤

[@infotreetv1379]

what is your suggestion for leaning nodes in blender, because everything gone above my head

[@attimp4]

It's just practice tbh. Learning a non linear program can be hard but it's just about rewiring the brain to think in a non linear way. Everyone is super lost with nodes at first, just takes time.

[@peakzrl9995]

my guy is insane

[@trashbenny]

Looks reaal beautiful man, bravo. I'm gonna head back to blender and not make a video with this technique. rip render times

[@rakibhasan1300]

Great

[@krispyywombat7382]

Hey, what CPU are you using that you're getting such good smoke sim perf? I'm throwing a 7950x at Blender and still not having it simulate near as fast, for you it appeared to be running near realtime while still set to 60 divisions.

[@attimp4]

5950x not sure what make you have worse performance. Could have something to do with having CPU enabled for GPU compute. Idk

[@synapse349]

I like your channel logo

[@sayris01]

thanks :)

[@nrg_core8570]

Can you let us know your System specs on which you made this?

[@attimp4]

ryzen 9 5950x RTX 3090 32GB DDR5

[@positv_]

The hardest level is make this but in eevee.

[@DoryRail]

That is aresome

[@sam_division4620]

🥰😍🤩

[@christophe1584]

My Blender crash every time I assigne the smoke material to the smoke domain and go to render viewport.. does anyone can help with that please ? x) 5950X/3090/64gb RAM

[@attimp4]

Make the material on the smoke unique, then disconnect the displacement before going to rendered view

[@christophe1584]

@@attimp4 Omg thx & sry ! Indeed as you said few second after displacement need to be removed.. :)

[@N1ghtR1der666]

if most of the time you take the cube out, why not just save the default scene to be with no cube and how you like it to start

[@attimp4]

because i am dumb

[@physicalpainter]

How much samples on render?

[@attimp4]

2500

[@TorIvanBoine]

9:16 blender crashes when I plug it into displacement and have it in rendered view. 🤷‍♂ yet, it only took 20 seconds to bake 60 frames. and viewport isn't laggy at all. what potato are you working on? 😃 (this was on my file. I downloaded yours and it takes a bit longer to bake🤣) but then again, my smoke doesn't look as good as yours 🤣🤣

[@poepopjebuik752]

blender should reinstall the "network rendering again.. the removed the function ,but we all have 'old hardware' we can use as renderingnodes for free.

[@MrMargaretScratcher]

Get the crowdrender addon

[@apzzpa]

okay dude just slow down a sec. things are getting out of hand

[@TR-707]

looks like blender smoke to me tbh but thanks for click bait anyway
