Use BLENDER to make a Tornado to use in UNITY! [Blender & Unity Tutorial]  

In this video it looks more like a spinning ink cloud. Will the unity particle system make it look more windy?

​@@Youseekveekyes not only that but some shaders the magic of unity is dope

@@Youseekveek id recomend you delete the actual gameobject. make a new particle system. and in shape choose mesh and then choose this tornado mesh. after that the particles will spawn in a tornado shape. i havent used unity in a while but i believe it will work. tweak the textures and size of those particles will make a greate cloudy effect

​@@Youseekveekyou can add whatever you want. For example a Spiral spinning System to spin rocks around it upwards. Bist use your fantasy 🙂

I think you have to apply a cloud/wind-like texture to the tornado, maybe with transparency on some points. The particle system can add some extra details like smaller particles flying around.

It’s good to hear there’s interest in a longer one! Most definitely something I can make happen.

The part with script and assignments in Unity I have to really focus and watch multiple times to understand, would be really helpful thanks

Well as far as I know shaders don't displace the actual vertices and they only do so on the gpu. For example a water shader wont work for collisions on the water surface, something like a boat or player swimming on the waters surface needs to have access to the vertex position and the only way to get the height of the wave is to replicate the noise algorithm in script since you can't get the height directly from the shader

Not sure, but as far as I know, Alembic is the way to go when you need to export vertex movement. I’ve seen some people export water and cloth simulations using this format.

​@@elpathdigital4391can you do this same animation in the video but using armature and fbx format?

Alembic is AFAIK the only standard way to export geometry caches. For those who are not familiar, geometry caches are animations that doesnt use bones or armatures, like FBXs. Instead, the own geometry of the object is moving (Vertex animations) making it an animated thing. Alembic is the standard format for these cases just like FBXs is for rigged objects. Alembic is the FBX of the geometry caches.

​@@mejaisstacks2627yes but a lot unfeasible. Too much work and attention to details. Is like trying to animate a ocean with bones. Possible? Yes. Feasible? No.

@@starvosxant4348 i see, thanks for the explaination

If you want, I cam get you a link to make a Rasingan, They cover that spinny "simple deform" modifier and more. Plus, He was clear enough that I made it even facing Blender crashes.🙃

​@@a.j.outlaster1222can you link that rasingan, thanks and awesome!
