FX Backpack - Rockets (VDB + MOV)

FX BackPack – Rocket Thrusts Vol.1

Fuel Heavy Liftoffs with Cinematic Power

Rocket Thrusts Vol.1 delivers a new level of precision firepower with 10 animated VDB simulations built to emulate modern high-pressure rocket engine blasts. These aren’t your average thrusters—each simulation is based on futuristic combustion behavior, showcasing the kind of controlled force you'd expect from next-gen aerospace systems.

Whether you're launching massive ships, powering deep-space vehicles, or adding believable FX to cinematic tech, Rocket Thrusts brings the scale, sharpness, and realism that Jet Thrusts can't reach alone.

What’s Inside:

1. 10 Animated VDB Sequences
   Each effect is a 150-frame directional burst crafted to simulate powerful, precise rocket engine behavior. Variations include tight nozzles, pulse shapes, controlled turbulence, and high-pressure shock patterns.
   
   
2. 2K ProRes MOV Files
   Pre-rendered image sequences provided as 2K ProRes 4444 MOVs with alpha channel. Ideal for quick integration in compositing or as image textures in real-time pipelines.
   
   
3. Blender Shader Preset
   Comes with a unified FXBP_VOLUME shader, replacing the former 8-shader system. This single, versatile material allows easy look adjustments—realistic or stylized—directly inside Blender's Cycles and Eevee.

Use Cases

• Rocket Launches & Liftoffs
  Add clean, powerful engine trails to vertical takeoffs, booster stages, or cinematic missile launches.
• Sci-Fi Heavy Propulsion
  Perfect for orbital cruisers, escape pods, long-range drones, or any craft demanding believable thrust with scale.
• Advanced Mech & Exosuit Systems
  Use in tandem with jump jets, ground-breaking dash moves, or retrofuturistic flight systems.
• Tech Demonstrations & UI Mockups
  Great for showing off propulsion prototypes, engineering shots, or futuristic HUD overlays.
• Combine with Jet Thrusts Vol.1
  Use Jet Thrusts for maneuvering and Rocket Thrusts for lift-off or high-power transitions—ideal for layered FX and multi-stage vehicles.
  

  

  
  

Compatibility & Integration

Rocket Thrusts Vol.1 comes as OpenVDB density-only simulations, optimized for Blender but fully compatible with Houdini, Cinema 4D, Maya, and other major 3D apps. Shader presets match FX BackPack’s modular system for plug-and-play integration with your existing scenes.

Seamlessly pair with Shockwave Vol.1, Smoke Impacts, or Jet Thrusts Vol.1 to build launch sequences, battlefield tech, or sci-fi engines with professional consistency.
