    5:55 If you use the recently added "Active Camera" node this effect won't break if you change cameras, Edit: also if you stick a "Bake" node on the end you can lock the billboard's rotation to prevent flickering (alternatively targeting an empty placed near the camera could work too)

    i think starting from empty blend files is where your channel makes the difference some people would just asume the viewer already knows the basics and they show stuff pre made thats a -1. Im a firm believer if it is a tutorial dont assume anything just go step by step like in this case.

    Hey, thank you so much for your tutorials. I seem to be having a problem, and I'm not sure it's due to different versions of blender though (I'm on 4.1.1). For some reason, when connecting the voronoi and the gradient to the mix color node, and setting it to 1, the whole cloud becomes invisible, and sometimes it only shows the effect on one small part of the cloud. I'm not sure what could be causing this. If I reverse the order of connection on the mix color node, it works, but the particles become very squareish. If you know what could be causing this, I'd be forever grateful, your tutorials are great and I'm very thankful for them. Thanks again! Also, what is the purpose of the plane? Edit I've been messing around a bit more, and it seems that when I resize the cloud and make it smaller, the effect works, but only on a small radius around the origin. I'm so confused Edit I'm very stupid, I connected the object info location to the gradient, which you never did in the video. I'm not deleting the comment in case someone makes the same mistake as I did 🙃

Or potentially turn off the normals inside the object? I’ve tried everything and idk how I’d fix it.

    Could you please tell me how to animate these in a way that looks good?

  • @ComfeeMug

    @ComfeeMug

    Ай бұрын

    @ApurvaBhure Oh, all you would need to do is very gradually move them from one side, left or right, to the other. If you're going for the anime style, nearly all anime I've seen has only ever had clouds move from a right to left motion, or vice versa. It may break the illusion of 2D if you move these clouds closer or further away from the camera throughout an animation, which is why I recommend animating them perpendicular to the camera, moving on a clear horizontal line. I hope this helps 😄

    @youness-atlas That's a good question! You can definitely do the same thing by just adding 0.2.

It's just a little more intuitive for me that way when I make my own shaders, but again, please feel free to change this if you like it a different way :D
