NOTE: This tutorial was made for Blender v2.79 or earlier. It will work differently in v2.80. See more below.

In this video, we'll be taking a look at Blender's smoke simulation engine, rendered in Cycles. Huge thanks to everyone requesting this tutorial! It was a lot of fun to make. See timestamps at the bottom:

FAQ:
Q: Why is the domain a solid?
A: Make sure you are in the Cycles Render Engine BEFORE adding the Quick Smoke effect. This will automatically set up the smoke material (which only works for blender version 2.79 or earlier.).

Q: What version?
A: If you want this tutorial to work without much hassle, use Blender version 2.79 from 2017: https://download.blender.org/release/...
(Not 2.79a or 2.79b, which is from 2018).
