Smoke Animation Q&A

Okay, different approach: sequence

Lots of work there well done . Nice bit of stop frame . The smoke Looked a little like it was coming out of a Nozzle to me . I would be good if you could get some images on a curve . The clouds tell us there is a bit of a breeze there .

It is very pretty as it already is. I would maybe try to make the clouds semitransparent on the edges, but it may not look better anyway :slight_smile:

Great stuff, I love it :grinning: Donā€™t forget to set something for your Dim Display though :wink:

Thanks for the kind words <3 Yeah, youā€™re right, I will have a look. It was a real bummer to extract the clouds from the original image, heh, remove.bg AND Photoshop. I will try and use some transparency brush thingamajic on them :slight_smile:

THanks for the kind words :slight_smile: And yes, youā€™re absolutely right, I didnā€™t notice this. Was a bit of a drag getting midjourney to give me smoke wisps for an invisible campfire, but I got loads of them, maybe thereā€™s eomthing realistically blown by the wind amongst those! WIll have a look!

Oh, wait! Iā€™ll just set up a wall to the left that catches the wind lol.

Try copying to a new layer, using edge detect to make an outline cloud, invert colours on the oitline and a tranasparency filter merge.

Fantaglitelli from the start though. Love it.

Good to get into Gaussian Blur on one or other of the GFX Apps . Very useful for Lume Glows and Posh Hand Shadows .

I was really hopeful about a video of homemade Marmite. but you need a kilo of sourbread, 4 litres of water, decent yeast, sugar and about a fortnight to make 150 grams.

I will say, you can shop cheaper if you get your steps on and know your shops for what is cheap where but I was spoiled by being at Uni, during the bread and bean wars ('96) where you could get a whole loaf of white bread and a tin of baked beans for under 10 pence/cents

I love this, and the dim mode is a great touch too. Keep it up!

Thanks for the kind words, man! And the technique youā€™re describing here seems a bit out of my league, but I will try this, oc course. ā€œTransparency Filter Mergeā€ - never heard of it, sounds advanced :slight_smile: Will dive into this
