Complete Guide to the Fire & Smoke Simulation in Blender 3D (Udemy.com)

Excelente curso. Me ayudó a entender de forma práctica el flujo de trabajo para crear simulaciones de explosiones y humo, desde la configuración inicial hasta lograr resultados más realistas y cinematográficos. El contenido está bien explicado, con ejemplos claros y aplicables a proyectos reales. Aprendí técnicas que puedo integrar directamente a mi trabajo en producción audiovisual y VFX. Muy recomendable para quienes buscan mejorar la calidad visual de sus proyectos y desarrollar habilidades en simulación de efectos.

Kurs podobał mi się, powiększyłem moje umiejętności, co jest celem każdego kursu. Bardzo dobrze. :-) -- I liked the course, I increased my skills, which is the goal of every course. Very good. :-)

GREAT COURSE even in 2024!!! I would of gave this course a full 5 stars if it had an update talking about the guiding domain section of the course. The idea seemed so cool and i wanted to try it but it never worked. Either way i now i have a solid understanding of the fundamentals of the fire and smoke simulators. very clear instructions and greatly paced. Maybe add more tutorials for the beginning section where you describe the functionality of each parameter? i followed along so i wouldn't get to antsy and leave the course. Would definitely recommend. Now its time for the water course :)

Pleasant course with some tips to make simulations look better and also options of the simulations are explained and some are given a comparison. This saves time, because you get out with better understanding about what those options do, without the need to bake everything on your own to check it out.

This is more like it, after coming from the fluid tutorial. Still up-to-date for blender 2.9+, goes over every button and what changing the values in each section will do, and the effects it will create on the simulation. He also has great visual effects to show you what he's talking about, as he's talking about it. The first couple sections work as a lecture to help you understand what the system is (even small pointers in workflow to make more complex scenes), and the second half helps you to create cool scenes for yourself with his guide (turning the cube to a vertex and then into a screw was very smart, I was expecting just a curve). This is the course you want to take to get an great reference and understanding of the Fire /Smoke simulation in Blender. Now time for the Particle System Course!

Some parts were a little fast for a beginner like me. A lot of stop and rewind. Running 2.82a threw me off a little since the property names and the expected results did not match the lesson content. (Following along and trying to mimic the lessons was a bit of a pain since I could not see the same results, which lead to a lot of experimenting.) But, overall, very good.

So far I am learning a lot. I really want to know how to render smoke and fire for a project I am working on and I hope to learn this by the time this lesson ends. I'll keep you posted, though I am optimistic. Great lesson, so far so good. Getting to the Render part soon. Stephen is quite an amazing teacher. Clear, concise, and so far, it's actually working. It's a vast information cram, so it's best to go over and over it several times. Udemy allows that so... Blender onward.

Bon instructeur, clair et concis. Malheureusement il y a plusieurs problèmes : la vidéo devient floue par moments alors que les sous-titres sont biren nets et les textes des sous-titres sont parfois complètements erronés. C'est génant quand notre langue maternelle n'est pas l'anglais.

Everytime I do one of these simulation courses I feel myself at a new level. you are an extremely good teacher and I would recommend your material to anyone. you are quite experienced. I wish you would put more stuff up. Only request i have (not worth deducting half a star for) is if you could please explain the settings in more detail. you scroll through it too fast. It would be nice to learn how to use the interface more flexibly. if you spent more time on the settings and also created more exercises to show us how else they could be used in real applications, your courses would be 10 x better. maybe an idea for future courses. cheers and keep up the good work :) p.s. This fire course itself was a very fun and interesting course.

Just amazing, rapidly paced and information packed, I feel like I learned more in a single day doing this than in some other courses that would take almost a week, it's not really a beginners course though, you gotta have some familiarity with Blender.
