[HALFxEATENxUMBRELLA]

whats up with the buzzy :P I'm sure if u can do this u can use final cut for 3 seconds to correct audio

[sebagitarist]

you sound like yo going to die lol

[johannes596]

I like your voice.....

It's su much mysterious and a bit gentle! :D

[xXcrazyalec40Xx]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRR­RRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH! I GOT TO THE SECOND PART AND BLENDER CLOSED ON ME >:(>:(>:(>:(>:(

[epikphaylle]

@xXcrazyalec40Xx save frequently and ur problem's gone :P

[sarojligal]

thanks for the tutorial ... i have made some animations using your techniques ....

[Timzero4]

This is one of the best particle effect tutorials for Blender I've seen...:)

[Quoranation]

No offense but I can't hear you very well.

[julienmauricemort]

rendering is going to take FOREVER

[julienmauricemort]

blender almost takes no RAM memory in use

[julienmauricemort]

for some reason the mesh wont shape into a cone for me

[illlluck]

when I played it, it was a red puff of smoke. viewer node and render node was different. sorry i'm new at this, how do i make it not puff of smoke?

[rvngizswt]

the brownian effect is just the random motion of particles

[tzsjynx]

A much better blender tutorial than most.

Thanks a lot!

[paulmbendixen]

Brownian motion is also called random walk. The particle will choose a new direction and speed within certain boundaries, which will make it stumble around randomly.

The effect is that the individual particles does not follow a random line but moves randomly as it goes along

[NNB30]

it's very very helpful.. awesome realistic fire indeed

I liked your appreciation to the guy who guide u through out this tut (as I appreciate this tut to you), as well as your nice comment on brownian button..:D

luv every thing about your tut. many tnx

[rausmanxxx]

good tutorial

[zatch145]

HOW DO I PRESS PLAY LIKE THAT... which button do i press to press play instantly

[multimediahelp1]

ALT-A

[saderguy]

Don't worry, Nion, your English is fine. German, right?

[rdosladosa]

This is realy good... Thanks it is very helpfull....

[Mitch300mitch]

how do you make the particals play like that what key do i hit

[NionsChannel]

Most time in the video I used the arrow keys. You can also press alt+a to play the animation (esc to stop).

[NiklaaasSu]

Best tutorial ever!

[accuratesheep]

this is awesome i didnt ever think of changing the shape of emitter objects

schade dass du das tutorial nich gleich auf deutsch gemacht hast :~)

[NionsChannel]

tja Englisch ist eben Weltsprache. Außerdem ist es auch eine gute Übung für mich^^

[xXcrazyalec40Xx]

@accuratesheep i do that alot to make twisters and some nukes

[mrledfeb]

can u use this fire while in the game engine

[NionsChannel]

Sry I don't have any experience with the game engine.

[yrovv]

yes. but u would need to render out the fire, then use all images and make 1 image, with all frames in it, then u add that image as a animated texture to a plane. and it should work ^^. U betetr serach around some if u need better info

[Dariusc123456]

Yes, you can use it in the game engine, but you have to make a trigger todo so.

[gurkmannen37]

@mrledfeb yes you caan... Meow =)

[solodarkblade]

@mrledfeb no you can't but to that just make an animated map and do that look Blenderman911 hope this helps

[kklji]

How do you play the particle feed to see what it's going to do? I'm new to Blender...

[NionsChannel]

either alt+a to play the animation (esc to stop) or use the arrow keys to go single frames forwards.

[kklji]

ah, yes. I remember now...

[mrledfeb]

if u r new to blender how come u sed i remember u sound like that u have have been doing it awhile

[kklji]

because of my memory, I am new and already learned about animating an object while editing it. just forgot...

[alanpgoodwin]

Brownian motion is descriptive of chaotic swirling in a fluid medium. If you looked at the molecules in a heated liquid; say a nice, hot cup of tea; they are not static. They swirl and eddy and bounce because of convection currents randomly occuring in the liquid due to heat energy. Brownian motion settings in Blender simulate this random 3D movement in the particles. Hope this helps. Brilliant tutorials, by the way! I'm having fun learning from you. :)

[NionsChannel]

Thanks for the information. Brownian motion always seemed to me like the particles are trying to avoid each other. That fits quite well with your exlanation that it simulates heat in a molecular level.

[DarkSpiritSouls]

recorder used and how u got it fullscreen?

[NionsChannel]

Camstudio. But it isn't fullscreen. I recorded a 1280x720 region of my screen and adjusted the window.

[Dayantos]

Hmm, I think I'll try myself then and see if it works in the GE and otherwise try the method with rendering the fire =)

[Dayantos]

Realize that I made the biggest misleading message I've ever written. Changed a part of the text which completely changed the meaning of the last part of the text. =P However what I meant is if it's possible to use the fire as-is with particles and such in a game (i.e. if the game engine could run it)...

I actually didn't think of making an animated texture like that, but I think it would work. =)

[NionsChannel]

I don't have experience with the game engine. But I don't think it's possible or is there any possibility to use compositing?

[Dayantos]

Is it possible to use this in the gameengine with glsl? I've been looking for a way to create a goodlooking camp fire and this looks awsome! =D The easiest way however would be to use a plane, with an animated texture, that always faces you, but I haven't been able to find any animated fire-texture on google and if this would work in the GE I could create it myself. =)

[NionsChannel]

Thats actually a great idea. I mean you could make the tutrial until the part with the set alpha, then render only your fire with rgba channels and use it as your fire texture.

The only problem is you can't make a real good looking loop.

[rantistic]

brownian motion is random motion

GREAT TUTORIAL

[graimee]

okay, thank you very much ^_^

[graimee]

when i render it, i can't see anything....

[NionsChannel]

Then try to 'bake' your particles. You can do this in the particle settings.

[graimee]

still nothing???

[graimee]

oh wait... i need to increase the alpha... now i can see it

[Karlos4You]

Me too.

[Mrcycloid]

Fantastic tutorial Nion, I like the way you explain each node's function. See my video response above. I tried adding a Kirsch filter and made the geometry more complex to teach myself more about composting.

[coolguyflex]

Its a very helpfull tutorial, but you sound like you are teaching yoga

[NionsChannel]

lol. But you're right. Especially in this tutorial it is the worst.

[ivanpunkrock]

wow  great tutorial!!

How can I make fire in some part of the mesh?

sorry for my english.. thank you

[NionsChannel]

Could you ask your question more precisely? Because it sounds like you are asking about the stuff explained in the third part of the tutorial.

[Zyklowa]

great tutorial :)

ich wusste von der ersten sekunde an das du deutsch bist :D

[NionsChannel]

^^

Es war auch mein erstes Video Tutorial. Hab in den nachfolgenden versucht mich sprachlich etwas zu bessern, aber dass ich deutsch bin wird man mir wohl trotzdem noch sehr leicht anmerken.

[Jylhis3D]

This is great tutorial

[tegawan]

hi, i have a 750 frames animation, i wud like to add partcles on it, i changed the start and end setting to 1-750 frames on the particle systems, but it stop in 250 frame, cud give some idea on this pls i need help tnx

[NionsChannel]

In the particle settings, there is a window called "Bake". There you can adjust the real end time of the simulation. You have only changed the time for particle emission. To make the difference clearer: It could even make sense to have a longer simulation time than the emission time, because after stopping to emit particles, they will still have some life time left.

[jarre135]

PLEASE MAKE TUTORIAL ON THE MONKEY HEAD IN THE OTHER VID!!!

Enough motivation :D?

[NionsChannel]

Well its a good beginning^^

But I've just uploaded the video today, so lets see what else is about to come.

I guess you mean the monkey with that metal like material, don't you? You could search for a explode modifier tutorial in youtube. That might already help you a bit.

[Blender95]

very good thanks very much

[lllstrikesmember2]

beautiful tutorial .. i will deffinantly be following this very soon... keep up the fantastic work my friend
