Hey all!
Yes! Another For Anime fire tutorial:
GOD is so brilliant!!!
So, today I finally got to the editing of this tutorial and I'm super excited about it and I hope you are too! This tutorial assumes you know quite a bit about Blender, because I time-lapsed as much as possible to keep the video as short as possible. For example, the animation process for the character took me well over an hour, not to mention the modelling and texturing of the other elements that have nothing to do with the fire or it's animation and compositing. I love straight to the point tutorials that skip things that aren't needed, so I seriously hope you enjoy such a video too! :D
So, because I haven't done a Cycles tutorial for this, I do want to consider you guys too. This morning, after getting up, I started working on a duplicate of the camp fire scene in Cycles and I am happy to report that you can indeed achieve the same results - in fact, you can check out this video:
I did change a few things in the sense that not all the same textures that are in Blender Render are in Cycles and they don't manipulate in the same way. I also changed the point of the fire to be more toony for the Cycles scene as opposed to the softer one I did in the tutorial. Both are great results and both can get the toon result, you pick which you want to do! :D In the description you can find out how to achieve it - again, those kinds of instructions assume you know your way around Blender to a fair degree. If you are new to Blender and Cycles, and you luv toon shading, then you can check out this playlist!
Biggest thanx to GOD for helping me with this. Without HIM, none of this would be possible! :D
