woww

[@blendercinematic]

Thank you!

[@KingKong19100]

Amazing!!! Thank you so so much, cannot wait for more people to see this and make great stuff

[@blendercinematic]

You’re very welcome. I hope so too! 🙂

[@joegaffney8006]

I think you can tweak the transparent depth / bounces independently to the others. So possibly you don't need the others so high?

[@blendercinematic]

I still need to figure out if its transparent or volume bounces. I’ll test this independently in my future sims.

[@tornt7933]

This looks really awesome! I would like to know how long time the simulation took to bake as well as knowing each frame took 5 mins to render. The complete time put into this on a laptop must be nuts. Great work my guy!

[@blendercinematic]

Thanks so much! It’s actually not that bad. Entire sim setup took about an hour (Thanks to RBDLab addon). Another hour for couple of iterations. The smoke simulation at 512 resolution took around 4 hours or so and render was almost overnight. I ran my Predator in turbo mode the whole time and I’m glad it was able to handle it very well. 🙂

Bro my “standard” scatter isn’t clickable, do you know this problem?

[@blendercinematic]

Hi, please send a screenshot of your viewport to my email or discord mentioned in the about page of my channel. Alternatively, you can also join RBDLab studio discord server where we routinely discuss such issues and more.

[@sybreed9121]

can u make it more detail to use the tools ?

[@blendercinematic]

Thank you for asking. I'll try and make detailed walk-throughs once I get some more available free time. Once you understand the linear workflow of the addon, my walkthroughs should help to understand how each of my projects has been done. For step by step basics, please follow my building destruction tutorial series or RBDLab youtube channel. Thank you and stay tuned.
