Does anyone know of any tutorials for making nice smoke
with the particles in fusion?

any examples?

thanks

Here's a good start for you
One thing to note is the popping only goes away in software render. Use GL for testing, software for final (slower) render.

Seriously Rony, you post these "heres a start for you" projects all the time, why aren't they auto listed somewhere on the BM site, they are always so brilliant to learn from but scattered across the forum.

Thu Mar 19, 2015 5:44 pm

Thanks Win, It really makes me happy to see people wanting to learn, and I'm happy to provide as many examples as possible.
I'm working on annotations for all of these, which takes time. Once I have a few ready, I'll post them all at once, but as for an official repository, that's something we can work on for sure, and internally here at BMD, you know my vote on that

It makes me

I'm working on annotations for all of these, which takes time. Once I have a few ready, I'll post them all at once, but as for an official repository, that's something we can work on for sure, and internally here at BMD, you know my vote on that

It will be great to have these collected into a reference archive!

The very talented Gregory Chalenko (under his non de plum Gringo) posted a lot of smoke and particle stuff that I found very useful on VFXpedia over the years. There's a short summary of some of it on his own web page -

http://www.compositing.ru/Research/SmokeSimulation/

that I'd recommend as a start point.

He is a great resource for sure

Thu Mar 19, 2015 9:03 pm

Thanks Rony.

Do we simply highlight, copy and then paste into the flow window?

Thu Mar 19, 2015 11:49 pm

Yup, it's a settings not a comp

Fri Mar 20, 2015 7:52 am

Thanks Rony.

Wasn't working fro me, then I remembered Webroot sometimes prevents C'n'P. Turned it off for a moment and works. Thanks for these examples.

Thanks Rony! I was actually going to tackle this over the weekend. You've saved me a lot of work.

One thing to note is the popping only goes away in software render. Use GL for testing, software for final (slower) render.

This thread is very old, but I wanted to say thank you anyway. I'm very new to Fusion Studio and it amazes me that you can just grab all this code, paste it in the flow window, and all those nodes magically appear.

And great smoke, much better than the one that comes with the templates. I just have one question. You say "One thing to note is the popping only goes away in software render. Use GL for testing, software for final (slower) render."

The renderer is set to Hardware, and this plays in real time. If I set it to Software, it takes about 5 seconds per frame, but I don't see any difference in how it looks. Is that because back in 2015 there was a difference and now Fusion changed enough that there isn't?

I guess nine years of "General performance and stability improvements" does add up to better tools eventually! :lol:

Fusion's GPU foundations have been overhauled since then, so it's virtually certain that the glitches from back then have been fully replaced by new glitches
