  • Six different Blender template files that you can adapt to your needs or load into your own scenes.
  • Step by step instruction on how to use each template.
  • Additional demo files that show the templates usind in different scenarios. This example scene is a bullet with a flaming hull revealing a logo.
  •  Point Density textures still have some limitations. The "Ocean of Spheres" template shows you how you can overcome them by creating a setup that looks like point density but uses Blenders stock tools.

    The result is a cinematic logo reveal you can easily adjust using a texture.

  • Smokey: Point Density can be used to fake smoke. Animate the emitter and it will create a wisp of smoke that curls around a logo, revealing it that way and disappears.

    (This is a style of smoke that was not possible in Blender before)

  • Burner: Set your logo on fire in an extremely stylish fashion.

    Can be used with any image and adapted to many different use-cases.

  • Outliner: Show the silhouette of a 3D object, but it burns. The template is very useful to create burning text, for example for a logo animation.

Blender users about Point Density Magical FX:

 

"I completed your PD Magic FX lessons yesterday. You really have a gift for creating tutorial videos, Gottfried. The videos were at the perfect pace to follow along and you clearly explained each step along the way. Congratulations on a great series" - Kevin Healy, Scientist.

 

"Definitely recommended, especially if you're doing any kind of visual effects work." - Sean Kenney, OpenVFX

Basic Magical Effect: Ghosts in Jars.

 

Usually, templates for 3D and VFX software cost a lot of money and come with lot's of restrictions. Even for non-commercial use they usually start at $30 a piece and if you plan on commercial use, a common price is $90 or more, and even then many restrictions still apply. Here you have the chance to get a total of four templates for just $37.
