  • Hello everyone in this tutorial we will be creating steam from a coffee cup in Blender using Mantaflow. Creating the smoke simulation is pretty easy but to get that look of steam, that's all in the material. If you create anything cool from this video make sure to send it to me on Instagram @blendermadeeasy

    Great video, only feedback I have is the "why" we are doing things would help tremendously with trying it ourselves in the future. I know you go back and say some of the reasoning but it all happens very fast. If you could give a quick "I put .6 here instead of 1.5 because at 1.5 you would be speeding the smoke up too much and giving it a undesired result, .6 slows the fluid and allows for you to get the full color and volume". Just that simple line could help so mush when people are doing projects without your assistance/ Either way great video and setup! Allows all us donut heads to look special.

    I stupidly stopped watching the tutorial after the "bake" step, thinking that the rest was just setting up the scene with lights and stuff. Then I got confused because I couldn't see the smoke when I rendered it. If you are having problems, watch until the end.
    Also, If you are trying to add smoke to an existing coffee cup, you'll need to tweak the settings since the scales are different (the coffee cup for the tutorial is about 1.7 meters in diameter). Try downloading the .blend file in the description and follow along there first.

    I've just applied this to the new Blender 4.0 Donut tutorial by Blender Guru (it's a testament to how good this guide is that someone as new as me could do this). I've added a hot-chocolate, and thought some steam might help. Yes it massively increased the render time. Yes it's totally worth it :)

  • @haroldlindley6620

    a good way to make the material work for both cycles and eevee is to plug the final math node into both the density and the emission strength slots for the principled volume and set that math node to a value like 0.2. From there, just unplug it from density when rendering in cycles. and plug it back in when rendering for eevee

    Using Blender 3.2. I'm using Cycles. I couldn't see the steam in material preview or render view, only solid view. I wasn't showing in my render either. After looking through the comments and doing some searching, every solution wasn't working UNTIL 11 minutes into the video they talk about Eevee settings using a Principled volume and upping the density - I could finally see it! Still using Cycles. So for anyone having the same issue, definitely try this first.

    @mistube Před 2 lety +2

    Hey mate, Its a mighty fine tutorial you made there, but as i so far have experienced with blender and dynamics, is that blender seems to work better with smoke and fluid in oversize scenes wich is quite sad. or at least that is my experience, so if you wanna make your setup here work on a real lifesize cup insted of your cup, wich is 1.7 meteres big
    what would you change in your setup, to get it working as fine, but with a naturel sized cup ?
