to be precise: the file itself was less than 1 gb. The cache for the simulation (which is an external folder, separated from the file itself), took 70 gb. Otherwise even I would not have been able to make this scene haha. Even a powerful pc would struggle if the file itself is carrying 70 gb of data inside!
I had 80 gb of cache in houdini just to simulate some particles for practice, here instead there is water, bubbles, dust etc.. What I understood now since I started learning vfx, and that I have to buy another good 1tb+ ssd only for cache xD
of course a better pc can handle larger resolutions, but every pc can do water simulations. Regardless of the pc, all simulations require patience for the waiting times of the bakes and renders btw
BTW: The Addon has the Prepare-Geometry-Nodes functions that automates the process of creating proxy-models :). Great tutorial. Wie love that everybody enjoys working with the FLIP Fluids Addon! And a tip: A new set of compositing tools inside the addon will be published soon!
... I have no words... EDIT: I have the words... I am inspired... THIS IS MOVIE LEVEL OMG IT IS INSANE HOW YOU DID IT IN A FREE SOFTWARE ALL BY YOURSELF THAT IS JUST DOPE!
Fantastic analysis! I truly value the straightforward explanations and methods you've shared for crafting lifelike effects in Blender. I'm eager to experiment with these insights. Continue the outstanding effort!
Awesome job as always my friend. A while a go I tried a hack for the white water you might want to give it a shot. I turned of the white water in Flip Fluids and created a particle grain simulation in embergen. As you know embergen is really fast at this. I then exported de alembic and with geo nodes and a white shader I added the grain sim. Not perfect but I did help with the lattice trick.
Ehy i forgot to mention: a crucial point of the workflow is that we can render particles as points thanks to geometrynodes. Is also one of the main reason why FlipFluids has become much faster and performant now. Now, scattering geometries like little spheres probbaly would make it work with the lattice, but would kill performance and render times. Btw is interesting the idea to combine flipfluid and embergen, will try, thank you :)
Very cool video, thanks for sharing some techniques, of course it's a pity that this is not a full tutorial. For some reason I always have problems with simulations in blender, so I decided to start learning houdini, but since it is a complex program, and learning will clearly take a lot of time, then I will definitely not abandon blender and will continue learning in it for now)
Finally found it again! Is a free model from cgtrader Here we go www.cgtrader.com/free-3d-models/animals/reptile/godzilla-2021-ccade9d1-0d1c-478d-b83a-7e4407f93068

Excuse me, can you put this in sketch fab

@@RaffoVFX putting putting your animation in sketch fab
the masking technique is insane dudeeee
thats very handy when post-process masking would not work :)
Also is good for getting things done as much as possible directly in the 3d scene
"Only 70GB of Disk space" me crying innerly when my project is 2 gb and needs an hour to load.

@@BrianMarteesI saw some people making fluid simulations that took 700 gb of cache because of the high resolution…
@@RaffoVFX When I did a Godzilla flip fluid simulation I used 530gb of space 💀. It was a pretty long video though.
@@RaffoVFX So do you still need 70+ GB of Ram to render it?
My heart says yes but my Laptop says No😂
of course a better pc can handle larger resolutions, but every pc can do water simulations.
Regardless of the pc, all simulations require patience for the waiting times of the bakes and renders btw
Hahhah yes same my computer say no 😂😂😂
bro I can handle this on my $900 laptop lol
@@RaffoVFX sir true,put every pc? I doubt,I doubt....
@@bokwuchidezie7657 lol if you doubt just make your own tests with the default fluid simulator of Blender (which btw is slower than flipfluids )
The holdout gradient mask trick is SICK! good job my man
much appreciated, yeah masking like that feels like having the freedom to erase unwanted stuff :)
The holdout gradient mask trick is awesome. Thank you so much
@@giveawaymonkeystar7584 a great thing about it is that is like making a mask that automaticly follows your object :) glad you like it, enjoy !

I don't even know how I started watching your video, but I don't regret it. Super nice explained and also learned a few more things. Thanks!
haha thats so random ! I appreciate your feedback so much, huge thanks:) Enjoy!
Oh bro this masking technique is op, thnx for this kind of tutorial 🙂🙌🏻
you are welcome, yeah i love that technique!
Can't belived that Japan send Godzilla to olympic.
😂
really good, uses a lot of concepts that I use when I do water sims in houdini but in Blender which is awesome
Thanks, Houdini artists are amazing
what a great concept , such a great inspiration , thank you for sharing ^ ^
much thanks, enjoy it!!

its all about blending :) thank!
man this tutorial giving me a lot of best friends from now on.
just kidding great overview raffo good job.

Glad you enjoyed it!
Dude, this is like a movie, my dream is to learn this, too bad I don't know how to handle fluids
Awesome ❤
Thanks :)
Amazing CGi + VFX ❤❤❤❤❤
still nobody complained about how exactly a massive creature like that is hiding on a small river haha
@@RaffoVFX 🤣🤣🤣
very cool
Well done! Thank you for sharing.
Godzilla doesnt complain of the big ass rats in the Seine nor about it being too polluted to swim
@@jack4x3 godzilla is a real man.. no wait
Interesting
thanks :)
"Godzilla in Paris"? I'd watch that movie.
hopefully some productors will steal this idea haha
amazing work
thanks!
@@RaffoVFX ❤❤❤
Insane one !
thanks:) i wish I can also make Godzilla destroying buildings
Greatings from Brasil, very nice and handy video. Thank’s a lot
Glad you like it! Appreciated thank you very much :)

very nice
Thanks
very helpfull, thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Bro what's your PC Specs ?
Thank you kind, good sir
you are welcome, enjoy:)
Thanks for sharing 👍
Pretty cool dude!
much thanks :)
Godzilla has some good dance moves 😂
he is ready for tiktok
It's awesome 👏! however, the depth of the river at this place is around 5m, so Godzilla would have some difficulties to swim...😅
yes you are right! Infact I thought about it, but this had to be done :)
Godzilla will single handedly remove all the shit from Paris rivers.
and then atomic breath all of it on space
amazing bro .
Do you believe I was doing all the masking inside After Effects? and it looked really bad, your technique is so good! thanks
Im still doing both ! major masking in Blender, additional masking for minor fixes in post production :) Thanks
amazing
Thanks
great informative vid
thanks!
Thanks for tutorials! Is there a step by step video on patreon or not yet?
Im posting it this week in multiple parts!
Could totally see this as a scene in a godzilla movie
thats a huge praise indeed ❤️
Awesome man
thanks!
*I don't see the real-time guide on Patreon, can you upload it?* 😍😍
im still working on it, will be out there soon
@@RaffoVFX thank u bro 👌👌😘😘
Superb, can you reveal the system specifications
thanks
Sick bro
thanks
wow its good
thanks:)
Amazing work! Love it. Where did you find the Godzilla model?

Amazing plz I make more
Guy just casually rocking the first quantum computer
Is it an add-on or a setting that changes the color of different shapes in Solid mode that lets you differentiate between them? It looks so helpful!
default functions of Blender, just explore the solid view shading options and find the "random" color function
I need to remember this masking technique, especially since in the past I used a boolean to do a similar 💀
Yeah right is like making booleans but better and faster!
Sick!!!!
Grandissimo! tantissimo valore in questo video, continua così
grazie molte :)
what settings did you use for the simulation?
Magnifique!
merci:)
Can i do it in my m3 pro
its that easy or am i just convincing myself it is?
Bro make more vfx tutorials often
I make regularly vfx tutorials in my patreon!
the tutorial is 10x morer awsome than the result, no offense
I agree lol 🍻
What is your PC configuration?
thanks bro GODZILLA model thank you
@@rowdyboysp.a.p3776 you tried it? how cool is it!
16 gb ram rtx2060 enough this type of project then i join your patron
what is your pc settings?
Awesome!!! why i cant see my whitewater paricles ? i have everything on
they are just too small, increase size in the relative modifier
godzilla is way bigger than the Eifeltower so your size is wrong but other than that cool cinematic
The software Liquigen is real-time and is now available to purchase I believe? Might be worth looking into 4:10
I have Liquigen and is superior with its realtime performance, but not suitable for largescle simulations like this.
@@RaffoVFX interesting, good to know
4:04 Asteroids which are really big: Am I a joke to you? :D
fair :D
hi in ur patreon with Level: STANDARD, can see tutorial?
will be in tier 2,3 and 4, not in 1 . It will be published in a few days
ok so this is not tutorial video..he explain his animation breakdown.
if it was a tutorial, I would have said that in the title.
exactly how i remember Under Paris went
@@V4N190 lol under paris!
That is almost movie level stuff
thanks, for sure i can do better:)
There is a bit of Escherichia coli missing from the scene
true that 😆
Yeah that might as well happen to France now
accurate 🤣
Ma quanto sei veneto :D ? nice breakdown !
haha grazie:) di dove sei?
@@RaffoVFX diciamo che sono mezzo veneto e mezzo siciliano ;)
Wait a second... Who was in Paris?
Why a lot of people is asking who is in paris ? Im curious haha
Since then Godzilla has a bad fever
@@Brandon-oo3if and vomit too 😆
Nice!!! Can Flip Fluids simulate dust fx?
no, it has dust particles included in the fluid, but not dust itself.
Embergen instead handles dust greatly!
Thanks Kieron!
@@RaffoVFX nice!!! I will have some time soon, looking forward to working with Embergen and learning from the King of Blender destruction!!!
@@kieronestrada6402 Let me know absolutly! Great stuff ahead:)
I wish godzille was in Paris
i wish king kong too :)
Godzilla did visit France in gxk film...
09:37 How do you invert masking area?
swap the 2 shaders in the mix shaders node
Godzilla. Most likely, he will die from the threat of Water in France
