Phoenix Demo

Ohh. and a Nebula. Particles only at this point.

Looking very nice! Btw, if you are exploring the particle road, try the Phoenix Particle Shader's point mode + Count Multiplier - it will create more particles at render time inbetween the original ones.

Cheers!

A ship from X-Rebirth an Ego Soft game, while on the space subject.

And the Interior. (They did a great job on this asset, low poly from the game and looks mad good)

Studio Lighting and the Rear of the "Skunk" from X-Rebirth, Rendered in Vray. Going to add some Phoenix affects to this, then back to the galaxy.

[Archaine]

Found a version Landed with the gear down, couldn't resist, but really moving on to Phoenix effects now for this.

[Archaine]

And now with a proper environment, a Dock from X-Rebirth, adjusted the materials and lit it.

Hey Svetlin,

I am trying to get a smooth heavy fumes simulation working.
I halved the scene scale because the geometry it is interacting with has small features (ie the engine vents).
I started with a cold smoke simulation. I set the gravity to 4 to make it drop quicker and in a less billowy fashion.
I disabled large scale, and set vorticy classic to 0 to make it smoother, and set quality to 100.
even with these settings it is a bit too billowy. as shown in the images below.
Randomize amount is 0, and I dropped dynamics to .5. Not sure about conservation method.

Any suggestions to get rid of the billowyness?

Also I noticed the mesh is weird. on earlier tests the mesh was a close match to the smoke as seen in the viewport.
For this simulation the mesh looks like water?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Hey,

Check the docs on the Mesh render mode - you'll find how to control the surface there,

If you don't want a billowy smoke, then don;t increase the conservation quality - decrease it instead. Also, switch to a different advection or conservation method and see which one works best for you.

Cheers!

[Archaine]

Sweet thanks. Isoline setting fixed the mesh. Trying different settings for each engine till I get it right. I will decrease conservation next. Was worried at first, but it's lookin pretty awesome now!

[Archaine]

Going to have this thing taking off next.

Svetlin, I saw you did a rocket launch tutorial some time back. I was going to start with the gas stove template and move up from there. Do you have any jet engine or rocket engine scene files laying around?

[Svetlin.Nikolov]

Hey, sure, here is a sample scene with a jet engine: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LAZ...ew?usp=sharing
