Tutorial: Create this Satisfying 3D Animation in Blender

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

i love when new tutorials come out, watching the old ones are stressful they do something that doesn’t in blender anymore and you have to find and alternative that’ll work with everything you just did

[@DerperDaDerpa]

Hahaha that's most of the fun though

[@legoman91]

Something that is not mentioned that might have helped if it was mentioned, is making sure the mesh option is ticked in the domain settings, not sure what settings are used within that, but you want see anything without that option ticked.

[@Fernando-so7hl]

ty so much you just saved me!

[@mrjaffa7354]

LOL...I ticked it>>it fixed my problem>>pc is now 0.16FPS and I have a high end card

[@CGGeek]

Make sure to check the "Mesh" option in the Fluid Domain settings around the 8:30 mark if you can't see any fluid. (Missed that step in the video edit.) Have fun - and can't want to see some dope animations! 🔥

[@MilesWg]

Thank you so much for making tutorials that people can understand! These are miles better than the ones you did a few years ago. Keep it up!!

[@Wreckinh]

Thanks I was confused that I cant see any fluid

[@RedInversionofficial]

thank you for making this tutorials

[@yashgala1669]

Sometimes it will be primary step to bake simulation to make fluid visible

[@egretfx]

can i have that abstract wallpaper on that background monitor>? please:)

[@noendline777]

Big suggestion: try to down-scale your webcam or put it where it isn't necessary to look. In many many tutorials your face covers crucial parts of the screen, hope it is just a distraction of your own. Your tutorials are so dope, it would be awesome to see less your face and more what you do. (also a keyboard reader on-screen would be appreciated, tutorials would be easier to follow) Thank you for the great contents you publish on YT

[@XEQUTE]

yeah , i couldnt see that cube section

[@xavi4829]

For real, that screen kept covering the timeline :/ anyway its a good tutorial.

[@chaya6344]

So nice! I like that you moved to a more compact video tutorials. Cause i think the majority of Blender users are more intermediate level,and dont have patience for beginner tut,always. And you kind sir,have so much to teach us.thx

Overall an excellent tutorial. There are numerous issues (20+, resulting mainly from the webcam obscuring the settings and steps missing from the tutorial due editorial cuts.) However, these issues turned out to be beneficial as I learnt more resolving these issues than blindly following a tutorial. I managed to successfully complete, resolve all the issues and set-up the final product to my own requirements. Recommended!

[@ultidaguy]

The animation choice is awesome, CG Geek. One thing that would sell the effect more would be to have the ring spin around the sphere while it was in the process of melting, rather than revealing the hot ring and making the assumption. The bars on the side only work if you're looking for them, but the realization only hits after the fact.

[@ltl6183]

Looks great, but unfortunately that planar tex mapping makes the sphere look a bit weird when it rolls away, as you described with the texturing earlier for the cube, otherwise, brilliant!

[@akunekochan]

Noticed it too :/

[@EthanFilms]

Hmm maybe he could bake it and switch it out the frame before it's to roll away, then it'd move with the ball

[@JackBhauYT]

Solution?

[@PigeonSlayer]

he should have done a triplanar or .. you know.. just a normal texture

[@DJ_JJ]

Could you use a copy rotation constraint on the empty to the sphere?

[@carlo_oppermann]

Thanks for the tutorial and the effort, but i found it really hard to follow when it came to simulation. I am an intermediate user and used both mantaflow and flip fluids a bit. However, the speed you go over things, skip steps and the general buggyness of mantaflow frustrated me massively. Even after checking the mesh checkbox, things did not work out and I stopped after trying for an hour. Maybe next time focus on getting the simulation setup right, which objects you disable and so on and so forth. the editing makes it difficult to follow. Another example of this is the applying the boolean at frame 40... which you never mention. Not trying to be negative here, but I find the speed and the lack of context does not really help me understand your idea, but makes me blindly mimic what you do. If I get it right, i learned not too much, if I miss a step, I am frustrated. Sorry for the negative feedback, appreciate your work and effort a lot!

Don't know man, I've tried for like 5-6 times, redid the tutorial multiple times, just can't make the 8:30 simulation happen, even with the mesh option functioning. Awesome.

[@CGGeek]

What happens? the simulation should start at the 40 frame point, just make sure you're using a version of Blender 3.0 or newer, and that you've tried baking the fluid with the 'All' setting in the Cache.

[@fisias6185]

Please help! At the start of my animation, I have this annoying DOMAIN block just standing there until the frame 40, then it just disappears and the "water" appears instead. If I hide my DOMAIN block entirely, I do not see the "water" animation at all. (Mesh function is checked). I am confused why domain just stays there, until FLOW function starts working at frame 40.

[@samster_vfx]

mate you forgot a bit. You didn't explain how to make your cube domain invisible whilst keeping the liquid sim still visible

[@CGGeek]

Just animate the visibility (little Camera icon in the inspector.) by hovering over it with the curser, and adding a keyframe on the last frame you want visible, then going to the next frame and turning it off and adding a second keyframe.

[@maximiIians]

@@CGGeek my liquid doesn't show up, any ideas?

[@bruhhaaa5820]

for unreal engine you can use in built quixel bridge drag and drop to materials objects or drag and drop models over 10.000 surfaces and meshes it's like ambient CG

[@tiberius1221]

I love it I really do to the quality and the way you make it but 2 things I can not pass not seeing but I asume 1 of them is hard to change is 1) the melting pat and the ball rolling the texture stays in place while melting and ball rolling 2) I wish you could work more on the friction wise where you do not have to make the liquid fade out on top of the sphere

[@pankajpatel6565]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWW1golqlKiDmpY

[@jwvisionz]

That’s dope 🙌🏻

[@lepels]

Not sure if the end example was edited and cut, but the frame at 21:07 where the cube just kind of cross fades into the liquid version looks really bad, like an obvious cut. Plus would definitely have expected the liquid "stone" to glow bright hot.

[@philipbogdanov5130]

any fix to make this cut less obvious?

[@CommonPoliticalSense]

CG Geek, seems like a lot of people cannot figure out how to get the domain to actually convert to liquid as you did. I have baked and just continually see a domain in my view. Can you do an update to show the remaining steps that are needed? Otherwise, this tutorial just isn’t useful.

[@burninggiraffe9138]

How do you get rid of the Liquid Domain in renders / viewport? It stays a cube until frame 40, then the simulation runs fine as it should and after it is finished it transforms back into a cube (at frame 201) . I tried to disableing the visibilty, but that turns off the actual simulation aswell.

[@CGGeek]

Just animate the visibly in renders by hovering over the camera and inserting a keyframe. Then you can turn the view off in the viewport, or make it visible as just wireframe in the object settings.
