Don't play them in a viewport. Just pick let's say 2 million and go to cache and bake. When it's done you can render the whole animation. You always preview lower numbers than crank it up just before baking and rendering.
I rendered this on my laptop with CPU rendering (this is the only available option), 50000 particles and 64 samples. The rendering went fine, but quite slow ( at about 6 sec / frame)
btw, if anyone doesn't have the best computer(like me), instead of cubes you can create a cone. And then decrease the vertices to 3 this will remove 1/4 of the vertices and make it a bit more faster
I'm at the point I don't need a lot of help but still enjoy watching people make stuff. Thanks for taking the time and I have to say your voice + instruction are some of the best in the Blender community. Appreciate the insights.
Sorry to be so offtopic but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost my account password. I love any assistance you can give me!
@Kole Malik i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
If I scale down the size into 0.05 or 0.003 as you suggest, all of them are just too small and simply not visible. If I leave at the default value, the cubes and their borders are still visible. I thing it's not working for me.
Hey! That may be because your emission strength is not big enough, also while viewing the animation in real time, not all of the bloom is visible. Once you render the animation, it should still look really good!
for some videos, jsut remember its always someone new! And we dont know all shortcuts. so. in the future, pls say how the fk you do some steps :) Or just use a keyboard register.
So if you made a bubble material, put that onto the object and put that object into the Particle system, you could make air bubbles for underwater scenes? I'm a bit of a beginner, if this is a rather "duh" question.
You can also animate the emitter to follow the object such as a fish and give it negative gravity and the bubbles will shoot up and emit as the object moves
3:58 followed since the start of the video but my particles started bigger than yours and couldn't change them. Now i've reduced the size of the cubes to the smallest and they look better but still look like tiny cubes when compared to yours. Any thoughts?
Very nice. Put a turntable camera around it, have the particles change color based on their lifetime, and you've got something really spectacular for 10 minutes of work.
Hi Ducky, thanks for the tuts! I'm wondering what should I do if I want the particles to follow a specified route, as well as tracing them? I'm coming from Cinema 4D, and a lot of the functionalities are pretty much "hidden" from me in blender, quite a journey in finding them tbh.
I enjoy your videos because you are speaking to the Sci-Fi lover in me. However, I have seen people do some crazy amazing things with Cinema4D and the Matrix Explode modifier. Any ideas on how to really take this into the next level like that?
can someone tell me how to open the vertex context menu? my select is set to LMB the RMB while in edit mode won't work for me sorry im new to blender :D
Yo guys, just a bit of trouble shooting goodie If you find your renders resulting in inconsistent frame ordering, try resetting the time remapping, hope it helps! :p
I have a much better machine (Threadripper 2920x), so I thought I would revisit this. When I press play, I get less than 1 frame per second. Not sure how he is getting that performance on a laptop.
You know, I was wondering... What if you used a tetrahedron instead of cube... Like a pyramid... It's 2 less tris per particle isn't it? It'd also look rounder imo
Under the "physics" tab, there's "boids" and "keyed" in addition to others. "keyed" is a weird way of making the particles flow from one configuration to another. You'd have to look up the tutorials or man pages yourself, but "keyed animation blender" would probably find instructions.
You totally can, you only need to use another object as a container for the particles. Enable "collision" for the particles (in the particles tab) then take your container object and enable the separate "collision" option (in the physics tab). Uncheck the visibility boxes for the container so you only see the particles inside and et voila. There are options for permeability (whether particles can exit the container and how often), friction (how much the particles slow when they touch the container, if at all), particle annihilation (deleting when they touch the container), on and on to get the exact behavior you're looking for. The object can be stationary, animated, you can even use a rigged character, walking about with a full particle system running inside them. :)
Awesome, thanks!! Tried to make a color gradient depending on the particle age, but did not work. Then I found out that the eevee engine doesn't support it yet :(
I don't understand how your simulation is moving that fast. My computer specs are higher than yours and i started from scratch. My average when I hit play is 8fps and your hitting 24... I'm missing something?!?! Is there a setting in the newer version that is causing this. I'm running Ryzen 1700X and GTX1080...
Im using an Intel i3 7th gen from 2016 and my pc somehow runs minecraft and over 1,000,000 loop cuts set as a softbody becaue i didnt know subdivisions were a thing.
Thanks! But i would like it to render on a transparent background as something like this needs to overlay on another animation. When I hide the black backdrop in render, the particles either disappear or come white. I baked the animation already and world environment color is black and checked on transparent. I'm confused if this is the right way. Could you please help! Thanks
Thanks for this video, very cool, but I would like to write my name with particles, do you have a solution. Thank you for your answer Just a passionate,
The render time should be low on this even if rendered in cycles. With a laptop this should render in about 30 seconds per frame in cycles and 1 or 2 seconds per frame in Eevee.
also, if I render in Cycles, I can choose GPU not CPU. But render is so rough on my MBP. Fan blows at 9 million RPM. My Bloom does not look like yours.
Does anyone know if this way created 3d animation is possible to export as fbx-file so that it would be viewable in VR in 3d? I only succeeded on exporting a 2d video which is not what I wanted. Thanks in advance!
Great and very good Looks, but my vieport very different - may be you use very good Bloor effect or post process file? My article ugly as render and generated Turbulense form... (
failing at the very first step lol "Just add particles and when you press play you should already see some" me presses play nothing happens except a redbar filling up my timeline "interesting :)"
Your tutorials are straight forward, fun and to the point and I was able to get a finished product watching from beginning to end. I just subscribed thank you so much for what you’re doing Nate!
You are assuming everyone knows all the short cuts, Would be nice if you explained what keyboard short cuts you are using. As a demonstration its good, but as a tutorial it leaves a lot to be desired.
Is there a way to do that, but have a specific word come out? Also, could I potentially have a camera slowly rotate around it in a circle for added effect?
is there a way to make the particles move in a pseudo random way by playing with the force field parameters? Coz right now on every animation loop they have a specific path. There may be a way to use drivers on some of the force field parameters to make the particles move randomly or at least look random.
1st. If you guys not seeing particles in render - it's because time remapping messes up playhead position. You render different frame. 2st. I tested out some ways to slow down animation: particles feature is somewhat broken, there are unfixable issues starting from Blender 2.5. --- Thanks to Ducky for cool tutor tho. It still looks cool.

Tried it but theyre still comin out straight cant get that flow to work anyway thanks
Nik Rogers did you use turbulence or force field?
How do I make the particles go through a path, like going round and forward in a tube shape?
how did he hide the cube and the sphere?
Can you make a particle animation that turns into a decided shape (like a 3d model already made) instead of a random path?
ya u can
Under the "physics" tab, there's "boids" and "keyed" in addition to others. "keyed" is a weird way of making the particles flow from one configuration to another. You'd have to look up the tutorials or man pages yourself, but "keyed animation blender" would probably find instructions.

The object can be stationary, animated, you can even use a rigged character, walking about with a full particle system running inside them. :)
if you can't see the Bloom, switch from solid mode to render mode
If it is about cube as particles because less poly (6), why don't use 3-poly piramids?
Is it possible to make the particles form into a specific shape?
Could make the particle field the shape you want, render the simulation and then reverse the video.
Could also use force fields to shape the particles if you're not too worried about it being precise
You can use keyed instead of Newtonian physics. It's meant exactly for that.
Awesome, thanks!!

Just a passionate,
SavoirPourTous there’s definitely a tutorial by Remington graphics for this, but you can make particles follow curves
What can be done to decrease render time of these kind of animations???
Use EEVEE and decrease the samples
The render time should be low on this even if rendered in cycles. With a laptop this should render in about 30 seconds per frame in cycles and 1 or 2 seconds per frame in Eevee.
No name keep your samples at around 60 for this
