Even though I just use Houdini I like how Blender is caching up with these addons. I used to help the rbdLab guys with some notes regarding constraints. I am glad they are doing good :D

@user-sl309jd90 10 месяцев назад

Good work! It's odd at the beginning how the pieces just pop out suddenly. The smoke also comes out too abruptly at the end. It should rather spread much earlier before the crumbling rocks are shown. Another thing could be also the smoke seems to be too fast and heavy in a way that they look like dry ice on a smaller scale like table. I would also remove the mid scale turbulence(or slow down the noise speed) and increase fine scale disturbance a lot. Instead you could art direct big chunks of smoke blooms to prevent them from evenly spreading maybe. Lastly they dissipate too fast in my view

@sdhpCH 10 месяцев назад

Cool result. One suggestion: To add even further realism never forget about the delay with sound that distance creates. You SEE the demolition first, the sound comes a bit later to your ears. So it would be even more realistic if you add a delay to when the sound starts.

@RaffoVFX 10 месяцев назад

thanks mmm didnt I put the sound already delayed ?

@@RaffoVFX Yes you did. At least with the bassy crash sound. Sound travels 333 meters a second. Not too sure that delay is enough though? Nevermind. Awesome job anyways, this is just nitpicking from my side. Don't worry too much about it.

what I do usually is to save a backup file before starting the fracture, is the easiest and most painless way to go back quickly. However, if you need to reuse the original object, you can find a backup in the "originals" collection of rbdlab

@itellyouforfree7238 11 месяцев назад

@@RaffoVFX Setting the scale of the simulation right should help. The tower is approximately 57 meters high. If the gravity is also set correctly, then the falling speed should be somehow reasonable i guess

You can sometimes remesh by converting to a volume (VDB) and then converting back to mesh from volume! Great tutorial

@RaffoVFX 11 месяцев назад

Thanks:) I didnt say it in the video just to cut the unnecessary, but the thing is: all these solutions with remesh / converting to volume /decimating / retopologyzing and similar techniques... with an object like this would just end up taking too much time, too many vertices, too much different result compared to the original mesh, and so on ( I tried some of them)... not worthy if the problem is just to work faster. So I decided to just fracturing the original geometry, just a bit decimated lol

@aeedits8815 11 месяцев назад

Really nice workflow! I would suggest to texture the collision objects (with projection mapping) though, to then use them as a reflection. The smoke for example seems a bit out of place, as the grass does not make it appear greenish. If you did that, the VFX would blend in a whole lot better. Alternatively you can always just color grade it in a third party program, but it will not look as good in my opinion.

@RaffoVFX 11 месяцев назад

Yeah I always project the footage in my collision objects / shadow catchers / holdouts :) In this case is not really noticeable tho

@sdados3725 11 месяцев назад

really cool result!! If I may make a comment, I think the speed of the collapse is a bit too high and this doesn't sit well with the size of the tower. Rest is top notch, well done! A tip: embergen also works veeeeery well as a renderer. You can export the camera from blender and use the mesh as a mask and shadowcaster on the smoke. Works extremely well, the visual results are often better than cycles IMO, and is real time.

@RaffoVFX 11 месяцев назад

yeah making compositing / renders in Embergen directly is something that I am studying exactly in this period ! Its a big game changer, but for this time I just didnt feel confident enough so I made it as usual in Blender:) Especially the way fire / emissive maskings look in Embergen has no comparison with Cycles, and not to mention the render times :)

@danielvanderkaaden8502 11 месяцев назад

This is awesome!! Btw you can skip the step of realigning the VDB back in blender by connecting the transform input pin on the exportVDB node to the transform output pin on the Import node in Embergen. Then It should bake the transformations you did on the import node into the VDB file.

Giving a full breakdown like this completely for free in public is definitly not clickbait. You probably dont even imagine the big effort that there is behind 1 single video like this. Promoting Patreon in the middle is just informing there are more tutorials available for people that are interested in learning what I do.
