Can you make this in a texture/animation in blender?

[Gabriel Cornel Ursu]

So, I am a smoker, and while smoking in the house, I observed how the smoke is looking and arranging over these rays of sunlight. They look amazing to me, so my topic is, can you make something like this in Blender? On the faces of a mesh, or a plane

lender?

You most certainly can make this in Blender.

You can make it 2 dimensional as you say (on a Plane), but you can also make it in a volume.

You could even make a Smoke Simulation, but I wouldn’t recommend that for this effect. Just a 3D Procedural Texture for the Density in a Volume…that will also be able to take care of the God Rays.

That looks mesmerizing. As Martin says, totally achievable in Blender and yes a procedural texture would be enough to get it done. Perhaps this is a cool short tutorial topic. We’ll link the masters to see if it peaks their interest.
