Looks great! Very nice particle info there.

Hey Bill, nice job on this release! Always happy to support your VFX tutorials. Great timing too, these are the type of particles I use at work and have been meaning to get something like this going in unreal. The last 3 chapters look exactly like what I'm looking for. Good to see a chapter on MacroUV's this topic isn't mentioned very much and it took me a while to figure out how this stuff works so I'm glad its in there to help others.

Keep up the great work.

imbueFX

Thanks guys!

@blood_falcon: Thank you, that means a great deal to me. You're right, MacroUVs are sparsely covered but incredibly powerful. And honestly, there are only a few steps to get it going. Cheers!

passerby

nice, not much of a tut person, but it;s on a topic i feel im a little weak on, and is ultra cheap, so giving it a go.

EmAr

Great tutorial as usual, thanks for the good price too

Thanks a lot for these tutorials man! I've been wanting to expand my knowledge on VFX and cascade for a while, and these tutorials are perfect I've grabbed them both over the last few days, plus the free ones. Best value tutorials around, easy to follow and practical subjects and examples. Great stuff, well worth the price!

imbueFX

linkov

couple days ago was thinking about how to create smoke exactly like that, and here it is! just purchased it, thanks!

imbueFX

Thanks Linkov! I hope you enjoy it.

Nysuatro

Hey, just some small feedback.
I put all my details in and submit. But because the discount did not work I had to re-enter all the details again

And then I tried a second time and got this : Missing Stripe token. Please contact support.

imbueFX

I'm sorry to hear that, shoot me a message using the "contact us" link on the top and I'll see if I can get this sorted out for you.

Nysuatro

I've been wanting to create a realistic fire particle tutorial for my UDK project for some time now.

I signed up, looking forward to it!

imbueFX

Thanks Scott! Glad to have you in the class.

We actually just recovered from a huge site crash only a few minutes ago, but we're back up and running and orders should be running smoothly.

ScottP

Yup, it looks like payment went through. Can you tell me if a novice cascade user can follow along with this program, or is it tailored more toward advance users only? I would like to think i should have no problem following along having made and modified a few basic particles over the years as well as having modest experience with the material editor- but I just wanted to be sure.

The map I am working on right now for my Kickstarter project has a heavy emphasis on fire as a light source (http://www.polycount.com/forum/showthread.php?t=127458) and the stock UDK mobile fire particle is no comparison to what you are teaching. I'm hoping to expand upon what i learn from this and create a larger scale fire variation for buildings and things such as rubble piles similar to whats shown in my (dated) thread.

Thanks again.

imbueFX

Hi Scott,

The class is rated as an intermediate level course. As long as you have some basic understanding of cascade and the material editor, I think you'll be just fine. Plus if you have any questions, just ask! That's the great thing about live classes.

Your scene looks very cool! Just to note that if you're using the mobile version of UDK, a lot of the material work we cover in the class won't apply to you. The material editor is different and more simplified when running normal UDK, and things like UV distortion and macroUVs aren't supported. You still will be able to make a very convincing effect however.

If you're planning on having this placed in your scene repeatedly, remind me at the end in the Q&A session to show you how to use instance parameters with particle systems. It's a neat little trick and will help you get a lot more out of a single particle system.
