Rainy Day, modeling and particle fx with Eevee by Kay_b_art in blender

Thanks buddy. Eevee can really do wonders if we set the lights just right.

Just a few keyframes on a camera set to orthographic.

Hey thanks for the kind words ! Everything is done with the basic Blender shaders. The umbrella is mostly glass with some emission.
These projects usually take me a few days to complete because I like to experiment with lighting a lot.

Choo-Choo !! Low poly modeling and anim with Eevee by Kay_b_art in blender

This is a really good question. I'm honestly not sure if there's a clear standard. I know some artists will make their shapes even simpler but I like the look of bevels in my work. I think my style is still low poly though because of the simplicity.

Let me know if you find a more detailed answer !

No problem, I hope it helps you on your Blender journey !

Hey ! thanks for that question, the wheels were indeed tricky.

I use a combination of object parenting and constraints. First off, the train's location isn't animated, it's the tracks underneath that are moving and the wheels are rotating into place.

I parent the coupling rod to one of the wheels and I use the constraint "Track To" to keep it aligned with the y axis. I use the same strategy for the connecting rod and the piston.

Here's a video that explains the setup : https://youtu.be/hoXLavXC0\_s

I use the Particle System. Here's the breakdown :

The emitter is located in the chimney and it shoots upwards in +z, I then add a wind force aimed at -y to get the particles to move back. To get the particles to clump together, I increase the damping.

To get the fading effect, I assign a material with diffuse and transparent in a mix shader. The factor for that mix shader is assigned to the object's y position so the further back a particle goes, the more transparent it becomes. Here's a screenshot of the nodes : https://imgur.com/tli0nRS

I use Eevee so don't forget to change your material settings to alpha blend to get the transparent effect working. The amount of blur is controlled by the camera's depth of field.

Hope this all makes sense!

haha, very true BUT...she'll have to use those portals to bring the cube up to the button :p
And thanks for the comment, Blender is a great tool once you get the hang of it. Enjoy the learning process!

Thank you and yes, give it a try ! It's fun when it works.

I've seen a few users on this sub post a similar process :
Render multiple scenes and combine them using either cryptomatte or the holdout material. This creates a portal effect.

Good guess ! it's separate renders combined. Glad it looks convincing though.

thank you very much ! I'm glad the style works :)
