Awesome work Sir Owen, i've been here a couple times to refresh my memory. Also, if anyone is finding it difficult to recreate the Viscous effect, instead of using a sphere like the boss did, you can use a Dune Landscape as the collision object, slant the position and let the cloth Sim fall on it. It wiill deform accordingly as it slides down. Thanks Ownen once again
Can’t wait to see the reupload on your vfx render pass/layer tutorial! If anyone else is reading this, you definitely need to go check out Robin’s channel!
I'm still new to Blender and just when I thought I knew something about fluid sims I found this amazing tutorial, I haven't even finished the whole video yet but wow it's totally a new way of looking at it. thank you so much for such an amazing video
LOVE this tutorial! Thank you! My glass material is not showing through each object, but instead making a solid glass look. Do you know why that is? I'm not sure if it's the rendering engine, but I can't seem to figure out why my objects aren't showing through each other.
Are you rendering with cycles? I know Eevee cannot refract additional refractive objects. If you are in cycles, it may be related to the thickness of your thickness modifier that you add to the Alembic.
Really nice.....simple, but powerful. Do you know whether I can export the "inside" spheres outside of Blender as alembic caches? Thanks in advance for your help.
I would assume yes because you can export particles in an alembic. I’m not really experienced with particles in alembic caches but it should be possible.
Even with the newer ever next, there will need to be some improvements on realtime refraction before it would look this good in eevee. But it’s worth a shot. Give it a go and let me know how it turns out!
Always down to share and give back knowledge as I figure out new ways to use blender and create cooler things! I appreciate you being here and participating in the community!
this is amazing ! Brilliant ! Do you how to control the shape of the bubbles after collision????I mean like a reverse version of the second tutorial. Much thanks 😉
I had to slow down earlier this year because I took a 23 credit semester of school, but I’m now graduated and now plan on catching up with all the videos I never got around to finishing! So yes hopefully soon it will be up!
@@owenjenkinsofficial I found out that it doesn't work in blender 4.0 version because the material property window is different, so I tried it in blender 2.93 version. It was easy to follow as the material properties window looks similar, but when I press and look at the viewpoint shading, I still can't see the particles inside my circle (8:36)
@@owenjenkinsofficial I want to do my best and finish the tutorial. Is it okay to send saved files via email? I would like to check the problem with the saved file.
The particles are not showing up in viewport mode? If so that’s a ghosted/xray viewport mode. Are they visible in the render? Blender 4 shouldn’t be different.
@@owenjenkinsofficial Learning blender for the first time. So I don't know what ghosted/xray viewport mode is. Should I turn off ghosted/xray viewport mode? Where should I release it? I tried rendering with a light and camera, but only the gray circle was barely visible. Particles inside the premises are not visible. I'm sorry I don't understand.
Really great techniques! What are the settings for your light bounces? I got 32 for glossy and transmission and still get more black spots in the glass than you.
I left everything stock setting actually 👀12 total, glossy at 4(glossy won’t fix your black spots. Transmission paths will tho), but I didn’t change the transmission from default 12. Transparent is at 8 as well.
The problem with black spots is usually caused by lack of geometry(increase subdivision to 3 maybe if your PC can handle that), and the amount of light in your scene. Make sure you have that invisible plane that is casting transmission and diffuse bounces, and then increase the value to at least 1 and move it closer to your glass objects. That should help reflect more light into the glass.
I had this issue for a while. Make sure you are adding the hair to the alembic file, and if it didn’t work, I would usually just open the alembic in a new blender file and try it there. Sometimes the old particles in blender are really finicky. I may try to recreate this tutorial but basing it more off of geometry nodes.
tHIS CHANNEL IS SO UNDERRATED. You just showed so many dope skills that are useful in a zillion scenarios for motion graphics. Curious... have you tried Flip Fluids?
hi! thank you for your sharing! learnt a lot! But i got problem on rendering the fluid bouncy balls (part2) turn into black when i try to render image how can i fix this? thanks again!
bubbles explode when try gin this and the settings are exactly the same for the simulation, the pressure scale of 1 makes them go nuts, when 0 its fine but is this correct? Any help appreciated. Running Blender 4.0
A few people have had this issue, I’ll have to see if something changed in blender. Usually when I’ve had this happen it was a blender issue and I had to rebuild my project to get it to work
Hey im not sure what I did wrong but i cant see the bubbles when i go into render view, I just see the skin. Like it isnt transparent, would really appreciate your help
I usually duplicate my project and delete the fluid sim, because sometimes it will try to recalculate the sims in the background when you play the timeline.
Sometimes alembics are unpredictable in blender tbh. They are working on that tho. I’ve seen tasks on their developer site in regard to alembic speeds. If the baked sim is faster, just use that!
i tryed to do it with my serum product, well with real life measurement when i made the circle smaller the cloth effect started behaving strangly ( when you check the self collision effect), i really didn't understand so i tryed to play around with the settings but nothing happen, do you have any solution for that. Thanks you @@owenjenkinsofficial
Blender can be real finicky with this if your scale is too small. Occasionally if scaling doesn’t fix it I usually start over. That can be frustrating but usually less frustrating than trying to troubleshoot the balls if they won’t work.
Imma be honest I usually watch blender videos just to laugh at them. This was... not bad at all. Obviously it isnt quite there, but it looks good. Good job.
Yeah bro, I have a lot to learn, and a lot to improve on when It comes to making blender tuts more professional and useful, but I try and am always looking for suggestions! Any critiques or ideas of things that you think lower the value of blender tutorials and or things that you think separate a good one from a crowd?
@@owenjenkinsofficial You know, personally I really love decomposition of scenes instead of a click to click tuts. It really helps my mind wrap around new things! Inevitably you get to a point when those uber detailed value centric tuts become a chore. They stop being useful along the way. Anyhow, subscribed!
@@rennightmare Keep comments kind. Houdini dwarfs most software packages in both its ability and its learning curve. Many are protective of Blender as it was an underdog in 3d. No longer, but doesn't warrant snarky comments. There are many things other DCC's do better than Blender still. My vote is Houdini is still the most diverse 3d software solution, Blender and Unreal are powerful and on the rise and hype, but each workflow might require sacrifice of bias to get the job done quicker.
there is some very very weird thing happening on the edges, i mean, u can't sell that to a customer like this. Do you have any idea for a workaround on that?

Thanks for the tutorial! But i have a problem with bubbles: when i apply particles to alembic, they start to dissappear within 1-5 frames. But if i activate hair dinamics and collision so they become animated, BUT through an animation some of the bubbles come outside of alembic mesh...
Sounds like you forgot to increase your particle lifetime past the timeline length. I had the issue of the bubbles coming through, and I remember just sifting through different seeds to get a better result and increased the thickness of the solidify modifier. And if it’s still and issue make sure the offset for the solidify modifier is pushing the thickness outward, and not inward.

If you are rendering in Eevee the shaders wont be able to do that.

It would depend. Probably not very well. If you use Houdini I’m sure there are some hacks to manipulate the meshes after the sim.

Yeah I use them for client projects! Thank you for your kind words 😊
How does changing the normals for the bubbles make sense? Like what is happening when flipping them?
Bubbles have air in them and in this context, this means that the normals should face the direction that air is in the scene including in the bubbles.
@@owenjenkinsofficial i think the physical explanation is that the flipped normals represent the "flipped" optical density!
