he Ultimate Guide to Blender 3D Rigging and Animation - Lesson 20 - Metaball Animation for Stylized Clouds

This video tutorial covers the process of creating realistic smoke effects using Blender. It begins with an introduction to Metaballs and their properties, followed by setting up an emitter for smoke simulation. The tutorial then delves into adjusting particle settings for realism, enhancing the effect with children particles, and rendering the final output. Additionally, it covers applying textures to the smoke to achieve a more realistic appearance. The tutorial concludes with a brief overview of the next steps in the animation process.

What is the effect of setting gravity to 0 in the particle system?

What adjustments can be made to enhance the realism of the clouds?

How can the velocity settings influence the movement of smoke particles?

Explain how to animate the direction of smoke particles using keyframes.
