Fx BackPack - Thrusts (VDB + MOV)

FX BackPack – Introducing Jet Thrusts Vol.1

Fuel your next creation with Jet Thrusts Vol.1, a collection of high-energy VDB simulations built for speed, style, and cinematic firepower. Whether you're animating aircraft engines, sci-fi spaceships, or futuristic weapons, these animated thrust effects are made to deliver maximum impact with minimal setup.

Each asset is designed with the FX BackPack philosophy: efficient, accessible, and production-ready, even for modest hardware.

What is Jet Thrusts Vol.1?

Jet Thrusts Vol.1 is a pack of 10 animated VDB simulations designed to simulate realistic and stylized propulsion FX. Perfect for creating powerful visual thrusts, boosters, or exhaust effects on everything from modern jets to space cruisers.

What’s Inside:

10 Animated VDB Sequences
Each asset is a 300-frame simulation built to simulate thrust behavior—tightly shaped, directional, and optimized for fast rendering. Variants include short bursts, continuous fire, and variable thrust trails.

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.

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

• Jet Engines & Aircraft
  Add dynamic rear thrusters to fighter jets, drones, or futuristic aircraft.
• Sci-Fi Boosters & Spacecraft
  Ideal for space scenes, with clean directional thrusts perfect for starships or orbital launches.
• Weapons & Fire Canons
  Enhance heavy artillery, flamethrowers, or industrial cutting tools with believable combustion effects.
• Mechs, Robots & Exosuits
  Use thrusts for mech jetpacks, jump assists, or powered armor systems.
• Stylized FX
  Combine with other FX BackPack assets to create magic blasts, spell propulsion, or energy jumps.

Compatibility & Integration

These simulations are provided as OpenVDB sequences, compatible with all major 3D applications (Blender, Houdini, Cinema 4D, Maya, etc.). The included shaders are plug-and-play inside Blender for fast iteration and previewing.

Works great alongside FX BackPack’s Smoke, Fire, and Shockwave packs for building complex layered FX shots.

Why Choose Jet Thrusts Vol.1?

• Optimized for Speed & Realism – Directional simulations built with efficient resolution and dynamic shape.
• Custom Shader Presets – a few click and you'll be up and running!
• Flexible & Modular – Use solo or combine thrusts in multi-engine setups.
• Professional & Beginner-Friendly – Built to serve both VFX professionals and aspiring artists.
