I made an addon for Blender that helps when making destruction simulations and physics in general! And here you can get it!Originally I made it just for myself, tired of getting stuck when making buildings destructions because of some very annoying issues that can happen on the way.But then it turned out so useful, that I thought I'd share it with you all, so here we go!Basicly in a few clicks it prevents and/or fixes some very frustrating is...

Gradients for VFX - all useful use cases

When making visual effects in any software ( in this case Blender ), there are multiple reasons why gradients have an essential role in the process.In these videos I go through possibly all cases in which I always take advantage of them.Especially for smokes simulations.*Links for stuff mentioned in the video:- Using gradients for set extensions (the tutorial mentioned at 19:30:https://www.patreon.com/posts/tutorial-vfx-set-71011858

Building destruction VFX for supreme beginners

Back to the basics this time!Here is the complete basic process for destroying anything on a real footage using Blender and RBD Lab.Destroying buildings with vfx on a real footage especially is so much fun.Lately I was feeling the necessity of having a basic tutorial like this...because most of the time in my videos i overdo just for the sake of the epicness of the final result…. SO, here is a potential first exercise for just the ABC of a dest...

A user friendly way for camera tracking

A user friendly workflow for quick and easy camera tracking in 1 click.A 1 click solution for having the camera tracking done for you automaticly.Normally I like to do camera trakcing in Blender. But why not, lets just try to let after effects do this for you and then send it to Blender easily!Disclaimer: I am NOT speaking about AE2Blend, which probably all of you already know. This workflow is even easier than that.In the attachments you can fin...

Dynamic damage material
