Good tutorial. One suggestion I have for your channel, to help with your branding, is that you raise the oragne "derrk" tab on your thumbnails a bit, because currently they are obstructed by the TH-cam time stamp on the bottom right. I think raising the tab so that it is just above the time stamp will look good an help people better identify your videos in future. I look forward to seeing your channel grow.
Philip Pages I actually noticed that too. Some formats it shows okay. I don't think it's absolutely critical that it be seen, but I will probably try to figure out an alternative. Thanks for pointing that out though!
Great and useful tutorial for various arts. However; Im a new Blender user and Im struggling finding my ways in the program and following your tuts since the setup aint the same. Can you please make a standard introduction tutorial on how to setup the tools and camera view like you do? Thanks!
Thank you for the excellent guide. The visible keystrokes helps immensely. 5:16 my animation is back to front, it starts at the right and fills to the left. Can't figure out where I went wrong. I made it work by setting the final frame to have Bevel start = 1, end = 0 and the beginning frame to have Bevel start = 1, end = 1. Not sure the reason for the divergence.
Hey Derek, is there any way to build a spline in Illustrator and import it into Blender? I feel much more comfortable using the pen tool in Illustrator. I was hoping that I could drop C4D for good.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial bro I'm a total beginner and I can't seem to find the blue and red arrows at 0:47, do you know how to fix it? And I'm still not clear how you snap it from the center to the left. Thanks so much
This is an old version of blender but you can click the move icon on the left side of 2.8+ to see the transform Gizmo. And to move it I'm pressing g with everything selected
As soon as you said 'definitely' on your intro I pressed the like & Subscribe button. Let me watch the rest of the video to see if the definitely holds true!!
This tutorial is DOPE for sure - I followed it last night with great success, but I'm left wondering how to deal with those end caps to taper them more like a brush stroke (instead of hiding them or filling them bluntly). Any thoughts on how to get that geometry looking a little more expressive? THANKS for making these, they are really helping me explore Blender.
TRUE. I also want to try to get that thing working where it shows the cards at the end of the video. Then you can click it right there! I will add it to description. Ty!
I know it's old, but can someone help me with something? I want to make the text "delete itself" from the startpoint like half way through. So it's writing itself and halfway through the animation "removes" itself like it came. sorry for bad english
mine doesn't have the right lighting....could use lighting settings u used in this. i used point like u did in the backdrop video, obv not the right way tho.
@@DerekElliott Yes actually everything. I tried my best to follow your guide but the Blender version I have has updated so much from this one. I downloaded the latest blender software on their website.
The path itself should not render. Did you add the option to make it thick? It could also be that you accidentally clicked the little camera icon in the outliner which would disable it for rendering.
Bruh you're phenomenal. Love every one of your tutorials, but I think you could benefit from using a de-esser on your voice. 😅 My ears hurt everytime you say anything with the letter S.

"How can something so small be so impressive" :) Good work. I like it. Thanks for sharing it.
another excellent one :) had to quit before the writing part but i will come back to it :) newly subscribed got your info from ducky 3d
thank you so much for actually explaining how to really use the curve path
Doing all your tuts brother, they're gold.
I'm currently learning blender, and your tutorials look great for beginners. I subbed!
The Slice Factor welcome!

Hi, thanks for the tutorial. If you click on a curve point and click alt-s you cal scale it to make the ends like a snake tail.
10OzGlove great tip! I've only ever done that with a taper object. I'll have to try! Thanks
This is just what I needed to know to make this perfect. thank you for sharing!
DUDE. I'm your 100th follower! Nice Video, keep going!
Hakan Yilmaz woop woop! You da best, Hakan! Thank you!
No. You are the creator! Thank you mate!
5 minute vid
Learns more than expected
*Worth it*
Nice tutorial.. thank you so much dear😊😊😊
Nice tutorial as well as nice presentation. I really like animated text tutorials. Thanks and I look forward to see more tutorials from you Derek.
Alimayo Arango thanks Alimayo. I'll see if there's more like this I can come up with.
Echoing what everyone else is saying, nice job. Liking the length, presentation and the cheeky, smart-ass delivery... ;-)
Haha thanks Kevin ... trying to loosen up a little and keep it entertaining.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I had no idea how to make this before so thank you for showing this.
Thanks for watching
amazing tutorial mate !!!!!
what is the name of the node you used at minute 4:27?
great, clear explanation, creative... I have learned much & will use it for my new 2020 year card for my friends, TY
Great idea! Thanks for watching and happy New Year!

Yes some of my more recent videos cover this but I will try to make more beginner friendly
thank you for the awesome tutorial.

What you did will work fine but if you right click on the whole curve in edit mode you can then switch it's direction. That may be what happened
@@DerekElliott That works. Thank you
Please make more detail of this video. I newbie and i dont understand with your blender setting and bar
Super Thanks for this Derek!
Thanks for stopping by, Frank!
Hey Derek, is there any way to build a spline in Illustrator and import it into Blender? I feel much more comfortable using the pen tool in Illustrator. I was hoping that I could drop C4D for good.
Yes, you can import it as an SVG file.

Whoops, I answered my own question - manipulate the "mean radius" value - as seen here th-cam.com/video/60N1EggF4-o/w-d-xo.html
Michael Warf that will work, you can also set a "taper object" to do this
Derek Elliott thanks a bunch, that's been the missing bit for me to get the look I'm going for.
Gracias Derek! Increible
great tutorial! thanks a lot from a blender beginner!
Is that a plug-in that you’re using for the gold color? If you were able to do a tutorial on everything that you use, it would be great!
Vinny DeVito it's just the principled shader. I'll be doing a metal tutorial soon!
Also, how did you get such good lighting for this? I haven’t been able to figure it out
Love it, dude!
Thanks, Papo!
How to animate it if I'll be using text since I want a specific font?
This video was dope.
Gla yo enjoye t
Nice! Thanks for sharing!
Virginija Sileikiene not a problem! Thanks for stopping by!
Just what I was looking for. Thanks! Subscribed. :-)
Welcome to the party
Hi, nice tutorial! is possible save export the animation for use in unity or unreal? need mesh converting but, after convert i lost the keyframe
Not sure if it is with this method
can i render it to fbx as animation?
Looks cool! :)you have soothing voice lol
Thanks! I get that comment more than you'd think. Secretly this is an ASMR channel
You should put the link to your backdrop video in your description since you mention it :)
TRUE. I also want to try to get that thing working where it shows the cards at the end of the video. Then you can click it right there! I will add it to description. Ty!
This is so awesome. Thanks for the tutorial. One question: How are you lighting the scene? It looks so good.
I think that was with an hdri
I don't know why I can't Create the same lighting Result like u.
Plz help me
nice tutorial! Really interresting
Glad you liked it!
0:37 move to layer is a plugin ? where to get
and how to save ui scene like 0:22
This is an old version of blender and now you use collections instead of layers. The UI is also old.
I know it's old, but can someone help me with something? I want to make the text "delete itself" from the startpoint like half way through. So it's writing itself and halfway through the animation "removes" itself like it came. sorry for bad english
Animate the values back the other way
@@DerekElliott Woah! The video is so old and you still help us! Thanks!
@@mondumkreisung1652 I have been bad with comments lately but you caught me 😆 .. best of luck
Cool!!!
mine doesn't have the right lighting....could use lighting settings u used in this. i used point like u did in the backdrop video, obv not the right way tho.
Cerbyo look in to using an HDRI. There is a tutorial on my channel!
AWSOME!
Thanks Michael glad you thought so
Hey man, so I'm trying this but the text just black with a slight sparkle
Hmmm this could be a lot of things. Maybe you don't have enough light in your scene?
Could you please do an updated tut on this same method please? I have version 2.10 the latest one
sure! was there a particular part you struggled with?
@@DerekElliott Yes actually everything. I tried my best to follow your guide but the Blender version I have has updated so much from this one. I downloaded the latest blender software on their website.
Everytime I try to save the animation, the path never shows up in the final render. What could I be doing wrong?
The path itself should not render. Did you add the option to make it thick? It could also be that you accidentally clicked the little camera icon in the outliner which would disable it for rendering.
How your texture very glossy, because mine is more doff
can you make the spline in Photoshop or illustrator and paste it to Blender?
I think so because you can import a SVG so that should work fine!
Dope
Dope!
MUCH LOVE FROM GHANA!
Ayyy! Ghana!
how to save in video format?
Render animation as frames and then put them together in sequencer
You made a simple dope but I'm trying to make a Chinese word that will probably take me hours
You can do it
The five Points are fused together. What do I do?
What exactly happened?
thank you.
Spiffy thank you
WOW
Nuno Antunes !!!
Bruh you're phenomenal. Love every one of your tutorials, but I think you could benefit from using a de-esser on your voice. 😅 My ears hurt everytime you say anything with the letter S.
I did get a foam cover that should make the newer ones better. Still need a pop filter and a stand though! Thanks for watching!
"Depe"
This tutorial is depe.
Masterdestroyer997 lol
Thanks for the tutorial tho, appreciate it
Xpoz TS glad you enjoyed it. Masterdestroyer997 is somewhere out there... Still trying to do those curves....
*If you try to spell another word besides dope, I'm pretty sure Blender crashes...* I dieeedddd xxDD
Heh hope your blender is okay
Thanks for the great tutorial. It reminded me of this blender feature: th-cam.com/video/Jse1jxbBXEA/w-d-xo.html
