Check it out. This shader is now used by actionvfx :) th-cam.com/video/3DFteGwtky8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0VKgYcXv2IqJL9Qu

[@borademir7294]

Thank you for the Natron comp!

[@HobbitVFX]

this is perfect, thankyou!

[@resilientpicture]

You are welcome, 🙂

[@AlbertThomasT]

Thank you so much... I was trying to shade an explosion... finally got the look i was trying for

[@resilientpicture]

You are most welcome. :)

[@Rick_Sanchez_1337]

Thanks for this tutorial. Cycles is unbelievable fast for me and I try to use it more now. I'm trying to learn how to render oceans (from Houdini) with it now.

[@resilientpicture]

You are welcome. Nice one. Rendering oceans with blender. Wow. Good luck.

[@hamadalateeqi8594]

Awesome as usual

[@resilientpicture]

Thank you

@@resilientpicture would love to see some pyro 18.5 pyro tutorials

[@resilientpicture]

Sure, I will work with them and come up with something. 🙂

[@ArmeedogMZ]

Hi there! Thank you for the comparison data and renders! love it! what Blender version did you use and was it rendered in Cycles X? Also, which RS version?

[@resilientpicture]

Hi Mark, You are most welcome. :) I used Blender 3.01 and Indeed I used CyclesX. Very promising renderer. :)

[@muneebkhaki]

The setting in the N panel is for viewport clipping , not for camera clipping

[@resilientpicture]

Oh ok, I didn't know that Thanks for the info.

[@esperandoelrender]

whats the time of the render? super hepful video, Im planing to use cycles as a second render engine for personal jobs.

[@resilientpicture]

Thank you. The highest render time for a frame was 1:58 secs. The total was aolround an hour or so. But this was with 64 divs so I guess you would at least need 128. But since mine is 1080p it was sufficient.

[@esperandoelrender]

Resilient Picture Company thanks for the information. And what was the render time in mantra ?

[@resilientpicture]

No worries. I didn't render in mantra but I know it takes a while.

[@shamshadhussainfx5326]

Nice shadings 🔥🔥❤️🎉🎉🎉...

Thank you

Im trying to render the aerial explosion. How do you do the attribute for the trail temperature

[@resilientpicture]

If you are using the shelf tools for aerial explosion you should see trail_temperature attribute created in node "pyrolook". you can put in a convert vdb after that node and cache it as per the tutorial. I hope this helps.

[@edh615]

Why not use exported heat attrib for the temperature attribute?

[@resilientpicture]

You can, of course. The new scatter field is better though.

[@agaerialcinematics1489]

Use Shift+D to duplicate a node so you don't have to copy:paste it.

[@resilientpicture]

Oh, thanks for that. I didn't know.

[@johnsackman2453]

Hey man I just remembered we both submitted shorts to Film Riots 1 min action challenge 😀. How the hell are you?

[@resilientpicture]

Oh hey. All good, just been making some tutorials and stuff. Hope you made some more shorts. Stay in touch via my email [e-mail]

[@nassernajjar82]

Any idea how can I open my Houdini file in a Maya file?

[@resilientpicture]

Unfortunately, I don't think can. But you can export volume from houdini as vdb and import it into maya but I have never used maya, so I have no idea.

[@SeanyKrabs]

I don't have the scatter attribute

[@resilientpicture]

Hmm, ok, do you have pyrobackvolume node in houdini before caching it out for blender render? The scatter really comes from that node. Please double check, if its not there add it before caching.

[@Karasutt]

Hello, when i try to export to blender, I get this message: Volume "fireball.1" failed to load: IoError: could not get size of file C:\Users\usuario\Documents\Videojuegos\Explosión en Houdini\sim\fireball\sim\vdb\fireball.1.vdb
How can i fix it?

[@resilientpicture]

Hmmm, ok, are you using apprentice?

[@Karasutt]

@@resilientpicture Yes!

[@resilientpicture]

Ok, I'm not sure if they locked vdb exports. Can you please send me the file to [e-mail]. I can check it for you

[@Gyanevlogs]

Why to shade in blender, not in houdini?

[@resilientpicture]

Well houdini render engine is great but currently it only supports cpu rendering, but cycles support GPU rendering and so it's faster, hence the reason.

[@Gyanevlogs]
