Happy Halloween [bad vibes]
This ended up too foggy/smokey/misty, when I wanted something like an endless stream of cloudy liquid dissipating on the ground. Also the body is too well defined.I thought it still looked cool, though, so I thought I'd share it with y'all.
deets for nerd: main workhorse was Blender (Cycles), simulation took about 20 minutes to bake, rendering at gif resolution about the same. Lighting was done with a hand drawn IBL map. Minor color grading and png seq->h264 video in AfterEffects and video->gif with ffmpeg.
fp edit: wow, my first fp <3 I love you guys.
A Bunch of folks mentioned this would fit in a video game. Gamedev is actually my "day job" (I'm still over a year from graduating, but you get my point) and this idea started as a concept for a game prototype.
Some people asked for the final result I actually ended up using. The actual final clip is on my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Ba5J1oMAP_C/

I still haven't taken the time to get used to blender. Used to 3ds max and barely maya controls. So much cheaper to use blender.

You could try making the eyes a transparent volumetric emitting light instead of a mesh?

I wish you could post a hi-res version of this. It's nicely done.

That looks like a character in a sci-fi/fantasy movie I would watch.

This would be a toon I'd be looking to unlock on a "character select" screen...

Yo, do less wind and more gravity, should clean up the smoke trails.

Add a mod that lower the rate of fall with distance from center.

We get it. You're vape. (FTFY)

As a man who strives for accuracy, you have shamed me.

You've made less of a ghost and more of a Genesis robot about to go critical.

I didn’t understand a single word of the description but I want to try my hand at it. What do I need?
shinmai
For most of it, nothing but Blender from https://www.blender.org/ some time learning it and a bunch of playing around :)

I have a lot of respect for people who can use those tools.

The biggest hurdle for me was understanding the names for all the buttons. Like unless you look something up ...(1

Post-Divide RGB by Alpha and Final Pass Denisity doesnt mean anything on its own or even in context . Or Lambert 1 whos actually a scientist
OverpricedCrayon
But also a base shader for Maya, but not 3Ds Max even though they're both made by Autodesk. Go figure. (3

I hit a nail with a hammer once.

Well done!

Greetings fellow Blender user!
shinmai
Hello! I just today had to explain to someone how I actually prefer Blender over C4D & 3ds max for most projects. Such an awesome package.
BigBenThisHeresRubberDuck
99% of the capability at $3495 less!
shinmai
and super-awesome python scripting making *EVERYTHING* customizable <3
ElynaerDeiros
20 minute render, that's actually pretty fast considering.
shinmai
It's that GPU rendering ,baby <3
ElynaerDeiros
Oh I'm aware. Just been a long time since I rendered anything remotely HD in blender.
shinmai
To be fair, I also like to tweak my sampling settings with single frame renders before running a whole animation. (1/?)
shinmai
This has 0 bounces and samples in anything that isn't volume, super low multisampling and highly tweaked noise reduction (2/2).
