Animate a Rocket Launch: Smoke & Fire Simulation in Blender

In this course we will create a short film animation of a Rocket Launch. This is a Step by Step Guide to Learn Fluid Simulation including fire & smoke in Blender

Create a Short film Animation of a Rocket Launch

We will learn modeling:

-- Section 1: Master Surface Modeling: Build a Realistic Rocket Launch Base

We will learn to model a space station, starting by the base. Adding the supporting column on the left side. Then we will import the Rocket and put it in place

-- Section 2: Realistic Texturing

We will create different shaders: Metal and assign them to our space station

We will fix the "Blury" smoke by create a specific shader for the smoke to make it look high quality

-- Section 3: Fluid Simulation - Fire & Smoke & Water Simulation

We will Make Fire & Smoke, then we will add forces to affect our fire & smoke

Learn the Secret for Achieving Photorealistic Smoke Simulation in Blender

-- Section 4: Animate the Launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery

We will animate our spaceship going up to the space. We will use the graph editor to control the speed of our rocket

-- Section 5: Lighting & Compositing

We will experiment with the new HDRI map in blender 2.9, changing the altitude to have the space effect

-- Section 6: Rendering & Production

After Baking our smoke & fire simulation & animating our rocket going up with the camera pointing to it. We will render our Animation and Achieve our final result
