Creating a Ghostly Fog Effect!

[@FabWorks80]

WOW! This simple prop has been elevated to another level! Thank you, D, for sharing your imagination and techniques with us!!

[@capnskustomworks]

That’s such a fun one!!! It looks amazingly realistic, particularly with the wind! And the contact paper suits it just perfectly!!!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you so much

[@MagneticNerdsCreate]

This turned out really cool.

[@Biokemist-o3k]

Really cool effect!!!-John

[@SuperVoodude]

Adding the chamfer to the inside so you wouldn't have to print supports is brilliant. I wish someone showed me that sooner! Great project 👍

[@neilsaavedra3190]

Love this! Nice subtle prop built beautifully.

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks!

[@outlanderfrog]

Ugh! I just finished a burning torch using this same effect... wish I'd seen this before to save myself some headaches. 😂 Great prop!

[@adambeck8180]

Woah! I'm amazed with how easily you used a photo and generated an exact 3D replica!!! I've never seen the 3D modeling process (the computer part) for a 3D printed object before. Obviously you have become an expert at using it, but you make it look easy. Thanks for another great project tutorial! This channel is so valuable.

This is a really interesting detail for a haunt. It tells a story and adds mystery. So cool!

[@pennst1179]

I love this idea!

[@mrscb5303]

It’s so fun to see how you utilize the 3D printing in your projects. I loved this one. 🧡🖤🧡

[@theloststoryteller9288]

Super nice!

[@russellgerard]

Nice detail

[@torsloke]

Amazing! We’re packing up our haunt today and I had the thought, I’ll have to find some way to use those ultrasonic misters that didn’t really work in the punch cauldron. Your technique could be easily adapted for the top of a mad scientist (our indoor theme) jar with some curiosity bubbling inside. Inspired as always!

[@teresashewell7105]

So simple and fun!!! I’ll keep this idea in mind for something when we build 1/2 a pirate ship for next Halloween!!🙌🏼🤩🏴‍☠️🚢

[@dkohler5226]

So you figure out that standard trade sizes pipe are plus 3/8" for outside diameter, for schedule 40, same for hole size if you have to drill a hole. So for example 1" schedule 40 pvc the hole needs to be 1 3/8" for a holesaw. PS. My wife is a retired SB Barista.

I've always liked the idea of this but making a cigar sitting on a decorative ash tray. Having the cigar always smoking and having a slight warm glow as if it was burning. Then light a tobacco scented candle in the room and BAM...a great illusion. It could be used as a movie prop or a prop in a haunt. Van Oaks, if you made something like that, Id for sure copy your build. Great video!

[@VanOaksProps]

You could use the same approach, just add in a led for the burning cigar.

[@helenwright6840]

Took me far too many times to realize the heads are included with the wick and circuit board. Check picture 3! Lots of applications for this, tyvm 😊

[@rcredmon]

Looks great!

[@VanOaksProps]

Thanks!

[@SpookyJohnnyY]

This is so cool!

[@m.maclellan7147]

Ugh! Headed pit the door, so can't watch until later ! Can't wait ! 😊

[@m.maclellan7147]

Fantastic prop build, Derek !

[@VanOaksProps]

Thank you!

[@robschaffer2189]

This. Is. AWESOME!

[@603VIL]

Great video. I can see this technique used for all different kinds of subtle additions to a haunt. You're getting really efficient with Fusion360. You should do a few more modeling tutorials using this software. I'd love to learn how to use this software to make more things myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@emmettpickerel]

I had no idea that these misters were available with wicks! I used to use the older ones, but they were always very finicky about the height they had to be under the water. I've a lot of ideas (halloween and otherwise) for these, thanks!

[@ZiddersRooFurry]

This is really cool. I love ghost undertakers, and have a pony ghost undertaker avatar in Second Life. I'm going to make them their very own thermos, and add a particle steam script to it :D

[@space65_72]

👏🏼 Can you add a coffee scent to really bring it home?

[@lawrencecarlstrom3465]

Loved the build. Why didn't you start with a real thermos? We learned more about prop making since you didn't, so I don't mind. Just wondering though.

[@VanOaksProps]

Mainly because I didn’t have a clue of how they’re constructed and how to take one apart. So I didn’t want to risk spending money on one just to ruin it.

[@bitchenboutique6953]

@@VanOaksProps honestly I would be afraid of drilling into an old thermos because if I remember correctly, they’ve got layers of glass and metal and a vacuum layer… I’d almost rather find an old already-broken one!

[@lawrencecarlstrom3465]

@@VanOaksProps Probably more fun your way anyhow. Thanks for the video. Keep it up please.

[@brucen4719]

Very cool!

[@MROC66]

So what I'm hearing is now you have to build a whole character around this called the " Cup 'O Joe" ghost? awesome job as always man..love it!

[@VanOaksProps]

Not a bad idea

[@joehamblin3297]

very nice !!

[@GregPackard]

Dig it

[@vectorwolf]

Where do you even get those little misters that aren't already built into something? And why is the circuit board necessary if it's basically plug-n-play?

[@m.maclellan7147]

Normally, he includes a link to each item. I think maybe he just forgot ?!

[@VanOaksProps]

Link in the video description.

[@RavingMadStudios]

Great prop, and the 3D modeling tips are always appreciated. Just wondering though, why did you print the coffee cup instead of using a real one from the thrift store or something? Was there a specific look you were going for?

[@VanOaksProps]

I went this route because I wasn’t sure how to go about disassembling a real thermos. Plus, if it’s still able to be used it would be a shame to ruin it for a prop. Also, many vintage thermos’ have glass interiors, so dealing with that could’ve been difficult.

[@RavingMadStudios]

@ I get the part about the Thermos, but I was asking about the coffee cup.

[@VanOaksProps]

@@RavingMadStudios Because I wanted it to make the proportions of the thermos.

[@dameiondorsner7256]

I did similar for a witch's cauldron with some green LEDs up-lights to illuminate the smoke. Can you drive multiple misters and/or LEDs off the circuit board as it is 5V?

[@VanOaksProps]

Not sure. I’d imagine so.

[@weaz549]

Have you tested how long of a run time you get with that amount of water?

[@VanOaksProps]

I haven’t. But I know that if I only soak the wick it’ll run for about 45-60min.

[@Jedi_Jeff]

Can I ask what 3d software you use? I just bought a 3d printer.

[@VanOaksProps]

Fusion is my goto for 3d modeling.

[@Jedi_Jeff]

@VanOaksProps thank you

[@danbelden6337]

What 3d program are you modeling in?

[@VanOaksProps]

Fusion

[@jessicapilgreen262]

I want to see this effect used with a Ghostbusters ghost trap!

[@VanOaksProps]

That would be a good use for it!

[@Countryboy246]

Van oaks time how you all keeping Derek
