Thank you bro! Best of luck

Good idea. I'll see what I can do

@@sambamproductions8883 Thank you

Sure, I'll try. At what step of the tutorial are you encountering the issue? So I can locate the problem

@@sambamproductions8883 after adding stepped interpolation modifier,I'm not able to adjust the step size properly,unlike yours my sparks move really slowly ,can you please guide me

@@sambamproductions8883 not able to adjust the value for stepped interpolation modifier properly,while your sparks looks choppy,my sparks barely even move,can you please guide me

@@TushyaJha it could be a display issue. Zoom out of your the graph much more and keep increasing the value until the choppiness is noticeable in the viewport. I've had this issue in the past a lot. Lemme know what happens

@@sambamproductions8883 reduced the value quite a bit,now it works perfectly!!

It's probably your spelling. It's #frame/ and not #framr/

Not a bad idea. Lemme see what I can do

Thank you👊

Thank you and great point on the displace tip!

I've never done this effect yet, but I can imagine drawn mud on a plane with a normal map added to simulate a depth effect. I'd start by checking stylized mud references online, first.

I'm not sure or familiar with Gamemaker. What I would recommend is checking out tutorials on how to import elements in Gamemaker. Figuring out what kind of file-type is required would let you know what export settings to use in Blender.

Thanks for the quick reply

update : i find thx

@@zolmen7722 no worries. Lemme know if anything else

I'm assuming you mean exporting to game engines. I don't work with game engines myself, but what I would recommend is to type 'how to export from Blender to Unity/Unreal Engine' and start from there. As for baking, you can select the mesh you want to bake the animation, press 'F3' to make the search menu pop up and type in 'Bake animation' to have keyframes generated on each Keyframe.

@@sambamproductions8883 oh snap so I can make the animation to the material itself?

@@Omnivoid22 yeah, you can bake an animation directly on a mesh. That's what happens when you also export an animated mesh as an alembic file (.ABC). But I'd highly recommend looking into first since, like I said, I never worked in a pipeline involving exporting from Blender to a game engine.

I don't see why not. I'll add it to my list:)

My pleasure:)

The hand was a 3D model I found online a while ago

I don't, unfortunately. I only work with Blender. I'm sure there are plenty of tutorials on TH-cam, though.

The origin? Press right click > Set origin And set origin from there

The only way I can think of is to bake the fire's animation so that all of the keyframes appear on the timeline, then copy the first keyframe into the last one and since they're now the same, the animation should loop.

You can see at 0:42 where I add the 'Simple Deform' modifier where I set it to twist on the 'Z' axis. This creates the swirly look.

@@sambamproductions8883i already have that down but it didnt change anything

@@claux3400 I'm thinking... It could be the following: - that you applied it to the wrong sphere - that the settings in your modifier don't correspond to mine - that the modifier is turned off for the viewport

i rechekced and made sure i dont have a extra sphere, i redid the modifier settings, it might be the modifier turned off for the viewport @@sambamproductions8883

i did it, thanks so much the problem was i didnt have the sphere selected you was right @@sambamproductions8883

It does take some background knowledge of Blender first, but if you have any questions about the process, lemme know.

@@sambamproductions8883 Thanks to this video frustrating the heck outta me, I searched the ends of the youtube and found a ten minute video that had exactly what i needed. literally took me 10 minutes with no experience to achieve the same desired effect at half the effort and with zero knowledge of blender. Hopefully someday I will learn enough for this method. cheers! lol

@@GrimeTimeGamer you got this bro 👊

Thank you for the feedback:) Lemme know if you have any specific questions about the process

I appreciate the feedback. If you need more details, here's a step-by-step breakdown I made: The Core: Start by adding a sphere to the scene. Switch to 'Material preview' mode and open a shader editor in the viewport. Replace the Principled BSDF shader node with an emission node. Add a 'Voronoi' texture node with a color ramp node. Adjust the sliders on the color ramp node to achieve more black values than white, creating a swirling energy effect. Add a 'Simple Deform' modifier to the sphere, set the twist option to 'Z' axis and angle to 360 degrees for a twist effect. Add a 'Layer Weight' node with a color ramp node. Adjust the sliders on the color ramp node to create a nucleus and rim light effect. Add a 'Subdivision Modifier' to smooth the mesh. Mix the color ramps from the Layer Weight and Voronoi texture with a 'Mix Color' node using 'Linear Light' blend mode. Add colors to each color ramp node. Add a single keyframe to the 'blend' value of the Layer Weight node. In the graph editor, add a noise modifier to the keyframe to create a pulsating effect. The Flare: Duplicate the sphere and scale it up. Duplicate the shader material. Delete unnecessary nodes except the emission shader. Add a mix shader, a transparent shader, and a wave texture with a color ramp node. Adjust the settings of the wave texture. Enable 'Alpha Blend' mode in the material's shader settings for Eevee render engine. Animate the 'Phase offset' control of the wave texture node using '#frame/-4' expression. The Sparks: Duplicate the flare's sphere and scale it up. Duplicate the shader material. Delete unnecessary nodes except the emission, transparent, and mix shader nodes. Add a Voronoi texture with a color ramp node, Texture Coordinate, and Mapping nodes. Set the color ramp's blending mode to constant and reverse black and white values. Adjust the scale values of the Voronoi texture for spark patterns. Change the Voronoi texture from '3D' to '4D' and adjust the 'W' value. Animate the 'W' value using the '#frame/' expression. Open the Drivers Editor for the animation curve and add a 'Stepped interpolation' modifier for choppier animation. Add a second mix shader node and second transparent node. Connect a value node to control the opacity of the sparks. Animate the value node using a noise modifier with 'Stepped interpolation' for added spontaneity.

I'll see what I can do

Happy to hear it. Good luck with your model:)

There could be multiple factors as to why. - Make sure you're using the same version of Blender as mine (4.0) - You may have chosen '1D' or '2D' as the type or chosen another type outside of 'F1', which can affect the sliders.

Thank you!

I really prefer video. I am learning from 0. even the blender guru tutorial sometimes being hard :D @@sambamproductions8883 by the way try to record in 4k if you can. it will help for bigger monitors

@@sambamproductions8883 Thank you for taking your time in putting it here!

@@BriceKoua-11-11 Anytime:) Lemme know if you have any questions

appreciate it:)

Let me see what I can do

Thank you, I'll keep it in mind:)

Much appreciated:)

You should check out Geometry Nodes tutorials that involve instancing

Much appreciated:)

I do plan on making the full body

Sure, here are the steps: 1- Add a cube 2- Give it a subdivision modifier (to increase the mesh's resolution) 3- Give it a displace modifier (to procedurally create dust deformations) 4- In the displace modifier, change the texture type to Voronoi and in its settings, check the 'colorramp' box and inverse the values so that clouds come out of the displaced cube. 5- Adjust the mesh's displace setting by playing with the 'colorramp' slider, the size value and the strength value on the displace modifier itself. 6- Change the coordinates of the modifier to 'object' (to further control the object's displacements and animate it) 7- Add an empty to your scene and use that as the 'object' coordinates of the mesh's displace modifier. 8- Animate the empty's rotation, transform or scale values with keyframes to animate the mesh and make it look like smoke. Don't forget that it takes some experimentation to get the result you want, so have fun working at it.

@@sambamproductions8883 Thank you for taking time to explain everything

Much appreciated haha

I'm not too familiar with games, but what I can suggest is you would need to bake the mesh in the animation and export it to an FBX or alembic file or render out the animation as a PNG sequence and import it into your game engine on a plane tracked to the camera. But that's a start, I don't work for games, so check online just in case.

@@sambamproductions8883 thanks for the reply man

Definitely planning to make a tutorial on character creation in Blender, in the near future. Best of luck to you and your friends on your game:)

@@sambamproductions8883 thank you 😊 i’m not sure if it would be too much to ask but when you make the character tutorial, could you make the character humanoid?

@@FergWols Definitely keeping the character humanoid

Much appreciated!
