Hi Urban thanks for the amazing tips, this is such a great workflow! Very keen to give this grain emission explosion method a try.
You mention around 19:00 mins you'd be able to pass this emitter setup along to us for a deeper dive inside your workflow. I'd love to get a stronger understanding of some of the sections you skipped over if possible?

@@UrbanExplosionsGuy When you say you are multiplying things down by the life, does that include velocity as well as density and temperature?

[@DoubleJumpAcademy]

@@dbroadwayvfx it depends but yes in most cases i multiply everything down. sometimes i leave temperature alone and multiply Vel only by half. The new Master Exploder toolkit will make things super easy :)

[@dbroadwayvfx]

@@DoubleJumpAcademy I look forward to seeing more. I'm actually a 3ds max/Phoenix FD user, but have successfully adapted many of your techniques into that pipeline.

[@Fabian_Nowak_VFX]

Hey Urban, just curious...
Are you planing, at some point in a near or distant future, to make an explosion that actually looks decent ?

I wanted to see people reacting to the demon slayer clip!!! Seriously amazing presentation Urban, your work is such an inspiration.

[@jackcg10]

can i get hip file please?

[@Fabian_Nowak_VFX]

he literally gives you all the keys and the magic tricks, why don't you try out by yourself now ?
It will be much more rewarding and useful for you that just using something done 100% by someone else.
Just saying...
