This is such a solid tutorial. Not too long, not too brief. End result looks great and useable -- all done without propriety footage / plugins. Perfectly detailed and not slowing down to explain what a 'merge' node is. Love it. Foundy should have this dude doing ALL of their tuts -- and often.

This is the best Nuke tutorial I have seen so far! Really well done!

[@TGTrangnguyen]

Thanks so much 4 this tutorial Foundry

Excellent and really helpful

brilliant

[@PradeepKumar12223]

Good one

[@jman9129]

how would i go about placing this within a scene? Everytime I try to render this(outside of the 3d view) through a scene node, it crashes my program. I have a 2070 and i7 10700. Could my system really just not handle this?

Excelente

thanks

HI, Can I ask you if you can export the result to Maya? I have a cloud system I want to bring into Maya. Is it possible? I try writegeo fbx, alembic, obj, nothing works. I am using also some clouds images as particles. Or can i export it as an image sequence? thanks

[@danielkovac2425]

Please, why can't I use Particle Emiter.
If I open this function, the whole dialog will remain dark - inactive
well thank you

Good tutorial, bu i think that its need a random rotation per particle like Particular in after effects. Too many steps to create a smooke column. How we can do this?

[@nathanaelgabel4788]

How do I connect it to my scene's pipeline?!!

[@RuudZeelenberg]

Somehow my RGB and A values in the curve don't do anything. Tried it several times but no result, what could be the problem? Thanks in advance,

[@ChaosVFX]

Did you applied a material to the particle?

[@RuudZeelenberg]

@@ChaosVFX I got it, the trick was to have the materialblend set to modular. Otherwise it wouldn't do anything

[@Fengtos]

The color change in the particleCurve doesn't do anything for me...? Nothing is changing.

[@Kegsie200]

Hi.
It looks like the BlendMat modulate does not work in NukeX 12.2v3. Is there a work around with this?

[@Kegsie200]

Hi all, so it's something to do with the image I have used for the sprit. Does the image have to be a certain format with an alpha and does the image need to be a certain bit depth?

[@user-mj6zg8hh9h]

@@Kegsie200 Did you solve it? I'm having the same problem

[@Lumicphotography]

@@user-mj6zg8hh9h try switching your renderer to "nuke" instead of hydra in pref, then restart. But it's just for scene view purposes. render stays the same

[@eckzhall]

@@Lumicphotography thank you!!!

Cool tut, except that my reasonably powerful machine was utterly killed by the scanline render. Even if I reduced the particle count from 350 to 100, it was murderous to cache.
