Testing the new Smoke Simulator in Blender

The Blender 2.5 SVN has a new smoke simulator. It's a lot of fun to play around with.

Thank you so much for all of your hard work, Blender Developers! You guys are amazing!!!

The composite was complicated:
I basically green screened the smoke out of the viewport in After Effects since there is no rendering available yet, but it took some setup in Blender 2.49. I actually made a VERY simple outline model of myself on the last frame of the movie and used that to emit the smoke. Then I took the 2.49 project file and did the simulation in the 2.5 SVN. There are several invisible collision objects with a big green backdrop. I turned all of the viewport grids off.

Thanks for watching. Comment below!

hahaha blender could never ever ever ever.. wipe autodesk away its a simpel 3d program only for non fx artists and programers its a great program ;).. but kids don't know that maya is very easy with programing in C++ and in maya u can reprogram every tool u can make u'r own program's that its not possible in other program's ;).. blender works with a script name's phyton and that's not a real program language's so play on kids ;).. if u have think that maya could be beaten by a simple 3d software

@dreamerboy1231 Correct me if I'm wrong, but with your writing style, you sound like a little kid that THINKS he knows what he's talking about. Python? Not a real programming language? Where have you been for the past several years? Python is huge. Not only that, but Blender isn't written purely in python. It's a majority C++ program that is OPEN SOURCE. Anyone can modify it to do whatever they want. It is ideal for vis fx.

Maya uses MEL scripting that is limited to only what maya can do...

the one who dislike is a maya user XD. maybe he cant do this simulation.. lol.. btw, great vid!! ^_^.. thumbs up!

I attempted to so a smoke simulation( see my channel if care) it is not nearly has realistic because i can't use a that many particles. but i think with a little imagination it looks somewhat like smoke. BTW does any one know how man particles this animation used?

@dreamerboy1231 lol so many programs are written in python. Ever hear of google chrome?

[iRoxproductions]

@dreamerboy1231 uhm, i think python was the first programing language... -_- correct me if im wrong

Nice job, I need to try this with blender. Maybe add some slight color noise and color correction in a movie editing program to add some realism.

@dreamerboy1231 You are an idiot, it doesn't matter about what program you use, its your skill that counts, i've seen renders done in blender that look beyond realistic compared to 3ds max. and 3ds max costs alot more and is complicated to use and work with, so get your facts straight before you go off and buy 3ds max and all its plugins only to find your gay and hopeless and your blowing air out your ass. and if you despise Blender so much, why did you come here in the first place?

OMG ,, the one person who complained was the only disilke

Ah! True must have overseen that head there. :-)

[ijhujhu]

@LukasVideosify Hmm just did that and now i think he just fades the image in while he crouches in the video. Look to the right and you can see the top of his head appear around the corner. So it's basically just a fade in image

@ijhujhu

No. If he would I wouldn't have asked. Look closely and pause the video. He seems to sink into the soil like he was also liquid or even gaseous.
