Hello, everyone! I’ve finally finished a project that I’ve been working on for quite a considerable amount of time. This video includes eleven different renders, each composed of multiple particle/smoke simulations. With each of these simulations, I attempted on making “sci-fi energy blast” like things. The render times varied from an entire animation taking 5 hours to render, and some taking almost a week to finish.
The whole project took me half a year to complete, which is funny, considering that the final video was only half a minute long.
I used After Effects to composite all the different render passes together, color correction and lens flares. The rest (animating, simulating, rendering, etc.) was all done in Blender.
