Project File: Volumetric Spaceship Thrusters
🕑 Added 2023-09-01 19:27:51 +0000 UTCHey guys!
In my latest video, the 100-hour spaceship, I ended up making these volumetric spaceship thrusters!
I'm so excited about this effect! From certain angles I think it looks like some sort of frozen-in-time ionic jet engine, which I really like. It also renders super fast in Cycles!
The effect is all about layering different volumetric emission shaders on top of each other. I used a simple color ramp to create this pulsating 3D texture pattern. Some of the volumetric mesh has a hole in it, so when viewed off-axis they look like circles!
The volumetric shader elements are controlled using a Child Of constraint.
If you want to learn how this was set up, I have also made a mini tutorial about this in the "Exclusive mini tutorials" tier, link here: https://www.patreon.com/posts/88486353/
Also, I'm sorry it's been a while since the previous project file! I'm planning to get the 10 hour spaceship posted here soon as well, just need to clean up the project file a bit first. (The 100 hour spaceship will be available for everyone for free at a later stage!)
Thanks for the support!
