Harry Potter Style Dark Mark - Control Clouds in Blender 

not bad, i made the real one and thats not a million miles away from how i did it, it was in maya at the time, i also added uv's, randomised them a bit in big chunks, then u rand a low frequency noise map over that and used that to push the emission into the skull, so it looked like clouds forming the head, then it was just balancing the noise emission and dissipation, the background clouds are just one big cloud copied and stanped in different rotations and scale. anyway nice work

I appreciate your pro/nonsense pill-packed content a lot. And the cherry on top is your action, hollywood-style, heroic, enthusiastic voice-over which makes even selecting options in a property panel extremely exciting ;)

How cool! Really amazing work - thanks for sharing!!

Awesome as always kev, I really thought it would be done in houdini when I saw it on Twitter, can't belive you pulled this out in blender 😆

Really great video!

Damn, cool stuff. I love all vfx of harry potter😍. Especially the impact liquid from one scene that voldemort vs harry fighting in graveyard

Really cool! Another sign that Blender is Evolving!

Amazing tutorial! thank you for sharing

what a nice tutorials , i am very amazed watching you videos , keep going

i actually needed this

Thank you so much

I'd been working my own butterfly-shaped cloud for some time now when I found your video.. Lol just in time..this has been really helpful.. Thanks!

THANK YOU

This is very enjoyable to watch, and I learned a thing or two. I only tried fluid simulation with blender, I need to try smoke too!

Good work, when you have your faces selected you can just press P on the keyboard to separate it into a separate part. It'll show a dialogue box to separate by Selection, Material or loose parts.

Great video 👍

wooow, Awsome bro

great !!

Wow. Castlevania SOTN feelings on it.👏👍❤

Nice. Now try that with flames also. 😄

Wow. Way more simple than I expected. Thanks! I've been trying this with a Deer Skull from Blenderkit but it lacks definition and doesn't look crisp and skull-like. So far I've followed all your settings. Any thoughts?

WOOW

Surprisingly good result! I'm always shocked when people manage to wrangle Blender into VFX stuff

That's epic

great bro u always lit

Naice man.

Hello, thank you so much for your tutorial, it’s been extremely helpful. I have an issue that I hope you can help with After adding the clouds and adding noise to the domain, the smoke disappeared and I can’t figure out how to clear the cache. And tips on reducing render time will be appreciated. I’d really appreciate a response Thank you.

Hi! First of all excellent job, I've waited for so long for this tutorial. How much did it take for you to render this project? Did you use blender for rendering?

I actually did something like this for my unofficial Bond titles for NTTD where a Skull pops out of the cloud and goes into the nose cavity. I think I did okay but could have been slightly better

What the heck!? Lately I've been thinking about doing smoke in Blender and then your video was recommended to me. Thank you for reading my mind and sorry for all the other stuff you may have seen in there. Yes... as you know CG artists brains are whacky territory. Greetings from "Lebenin360" (the drone footage guy). This here is my second channel. ;)

I will say it looks interesting. I see that Blender has the potential to create simulations such as, for example: in Houdini, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Blender will succeed ;D

Hi Kev nice work like always👍. Can u teach us how to make destruction in Houdini and bring it to blender ?? ☺️☺️

Hey Kev quick question, I kind of get what it does but what does the “# frame” bit mean at 4:18? To slightly animate 0.001 in size per frame?

Op bro nice

wow, just amazing. could you control caustics like that?

Hello, I recently subcribed to your patreon and downloaded the blend file. I've noticed that my ckouds look a little weird in comparison to the ones you show, the clouds have parts where they are choppy and blocky, any help?

do you have to pay a monthly subscription for Houdini or an annual subscription to use it? Also, really love your videos. just subscribed.

Ver,y nice. The Skull could have added a noise Distortion to blend in with the surrounding Clouds a bit more.

So does using Point Clouds in Blender 3.1 does anything to help to do this?!

Sicklkkkkkkkk

understanding the rant at 3:12 made me feel smart

can u make death eater moving smoke tutorial

There is a better and less computational way. So if you add a volume and then use the mesh to volume modifier on that volume. You have a volume that moves in real time with the mesh. Then you can add a volume displace then boom bada bop and we got a cool skull.

CTRL +?! Does that allow you to do like, some kind of variable selection method or something?! Never heard of that!

Adolescent GMO Samurai Cloud Turtles has a nice franchise-worthy ring to it. And it's TOTALLY doesn't violate any TM's or IP rights! :) ((their names are: Newton; Einstein; Hawking; and Tyson, and they all love to eat Hot Pockets the most, so there's that sweet sponsor $ for discrete product placements , and a cameo opportunity for Jim Gaffigan who plays their wise, long-suffering mouse cloud mentor named, Master Chip Wood)) That is a very cool skull effect, too! I think I'm going to try and adapt it to use as the final scene in an animation I'm working on that involves a rocket that's launched into the sun-gone-wrong to extinguish it. I've got the rocket flame/smoke and motion test done, and just have to detail out the Launch Control Tower with greeblies and textures, and add proper textures to the rocket. The sun is shaped like the coof virus and it will explode. :)

Can an ipad do that ?

exactly why embergen is a big hit, could have got this effect within a hour with embergen. blender needs to make everything gpu accelerated

bro how to adjust the pivot at jaw point. I am try to keyframe the rotation like at 0:37 but it moves weird

it seem i don't have length node for some reason

Does this work with eevee?

Use ctrl + b for render preview

Great video...Now SHOW a FIGHTER JEt Flying into the SKULLS mouth...I used Vue Infinite to create the effect. Thanks

Can you recreate the Celestials from Marvel's Eternals?

КРУТО!!!!!!!!!

Lol you laugh like Peter Griffin

Is it me or the final render does look like General Grievous?

i never dare until i get powerful PC

And now add the snake 😂

ngl if u show only 10% of the process there's no point uploading

Naice man.
