Just amazing to see all this! When you were excited about how it came out halfway trough, I was a little sceptical. But then you made the final video and it all came together. Astonishing, just astonishing what smoke rendering with EmberGen can do and all.

I never really had a big interest in 3D modeling or simulations, but after seeing one of your videos and how incredibly passionate you are about it, I just had to go and binge all your videos!! Seriously, I've looked at some other blender youtubers but none of them even come close to being as enjoyable to watch as you are. Thank you so much for the videos. Keep doing what you love!
