This tutorial is what inspired me to get serious about Blender. This was the spark needed to realize that I CAN make all those wallpapers on photos I see on the internet. Thank you.
The hardest part of this tutorial was figuring out why by lighting looked so different from his before he showed us how to set up the environment and adjust the Eevee settings. I didn't know that LookDev took on the effects of whatever settings you used for Eevee. He's teaching me things that he didn't even mean to teach!

Hey ducky, one thing: when you make looping keyframes with rotation, make sure you go to frame 1 and put 0 degrees, and then go to the end of the timeline +1, because if it's looping, frame 1 and 121 are the same, and put the 360 degree keyframe there. if you put it on 120, you'll have 1 frame that's duplicated, and sometimes that can be noticeable.
When you start to setup your camera animation, make sure to set the Interpolation Mode to linear, if it's not already by default. Otherwise, you could get some acceleration and deceleration in your camera movements.
At frame 2:13 you say you hit Cntrl-+ to select all extruded faces...but when i hit it..it does nothing.... but increase the viewport size from the sound of it I can hear you tapping the keyboard 2 more times.aftr.Cntr + What commands are you using specifically to select all extruded faces???
hit the "+" button in the numberpad; this happened to me too, i was hitting the "+/=" button above the letters on the keyboard and the viewport zoomed in on me. CTRL and the numberpad + is what selects these sections.
After hours of watching you. Starting the cg boost course and becoming a tier 2 Patron. I can actually follow along. Thank you for all your content. I'm getting better.
holy shit... loving this!!! I'm honestly scared of blender but you made it seem so effortless (in a way) and yet fun to play around with. Awesome stuff!
You should try a tool to display the keys you are pressing on the screen so its a little easier to remember all the shortcuts you use. I just got into blender and your videos are helping a lot =)
Yes! Finally you use M instead of Ctrl + G to create new collections. I always think this way is better because it will automatically put my objects into new collection so it won't mess up with my original collection. Anyway, thanks for the great tutorial and keep it up~
YOU DESERVE THE NOBLE PRIZE👍 for real all of your videos are short straight forward and simple for beginners. You are creative really thank you for sharing this with all of us. Keep going we will support you👏
DANG! I thought it'd be the first time I watched one of your tutorials where I can learn but nothing is "new" to me and then you played with that contrast and gamma and blew me away again!
I was able to keep up till 2:00 minutes in without having to pause..one day i hope to nail a tutorial start to finish no breaks...and I should post my projects and tag you after soon...these are so good...
Really awesome tutorial. My first one I’ve followed properly and actually got to look how I wanted it to! I’ve been agonising about ponying up for C4d but I think blender can do it too.
@Ducky 3d Thank you for the great channel and tutorials, but I want to know how I can best learn Blender in and out, not just what I can do via tutorials, any suggestions?
Hello, I follow all your tutorials and I think they are great, please do not deactivate the display of keys in the tutorials, I do not speak English well and when I do not understand something of what you say, it is very useful to see the keys you press.
Agreed, this would be very helpful as you use a lot of key shortcuts and don't always reference what they are (especially when changing views like with ~ (Tilde)
Hi Ducky, thank you a lot for your tutorials and works! i've got a little proble but i'm going crazy on this: at 7:45 you've got motion blur active square in your cube property option panel...but i don't have, i've got motion path, visibility and the Viewport Display -.-"...and my scene is dark without light source in the tunnel. Could you help meto find out this issue? in shading and render view i see all dark, with only blu "windows", also if i put new point light 500W, i can't see the surface of the tunnel lighted as you... thanks in advance..
maaaaaaan :) solved by myself... it was the density of the "volumetric cube" I set it 3.7 instead of 0.37 ahahaha! after two hours I feel really frustrated cause my . but really happy to solved XD
This is by far some of the coolest stuff. I did the exact same thing as in the tutorial, but the speed of it seems to be waaaaaay faster then the tutorial and I dont get the nice metallic texture when I play it. Good tutorial though 🙂 love it
Take some lights aways my comp had the same Edit: otherwise it might be to much to render. love your work btw ducky3d have done a lot of ur animations already
For anyone is using an emission in the ''Shading'' tab, (which you are) You may want to enable ''Bloom'' for the emission to work (in Render properties) I think I managed to reset the properties by pressing ''Backspace'' or idk. Because my emission was working fine the other day. But I guess ''Bloom'' needs to be enabled as well. So, keep it enabled for emission. (Or i might be wrong, but, thats what happened to me) (PS, I pressed backspace while I was in Shading tab)
Idk if anyone can help me, but if I put a point light in the scene as in 11:55 there is no bright spot in the middle... The light around it is infact calculated and all, but the lightpoint is missing
@@MatrixCreator-01 just go on the material tab and choose another fog color, that worked for me atleast, but idk whether it will help you, good luck tho
Man, using a voronoi node to drive the brick texture creates a result I have been dying to figure out for ages now, thank you so much.... That sweet "paneled" look is so sick. Is there a node setup that would allow to use the emission shader in just the mortar/crack areas of the texture? And perhaps change the width of that area as well?
Im on a MB pro touch (i7, radeon and 16GB RAM ) and this is the first time Im seeing my laptop struggling! Time for a build with a nice graphics card and CPU
Can anyone tell me: at 11:00 he adds a cube and then stretches it to completely envelope the scene. After that he adds the light. What is the purpose of that action (add cube and stretch at 11:00)? .......... it seems to me the final result would have been the same without it ...... thanks!
Thank you for this and all your straight forward and easy to understand tutorials. One question, is there a way to render this animation so there is no point of light in the render? In other words, the ambient illumination of the point light is there, but not the bright point of light in the center from where the illumination is emanating?
When you create these shapes, do these just pop in and then you know right away how to achieve that look that you've imagined, or do you need to experiment?
SO I did this tutorial, amazing job btw! and I added some logo animation in the middle basically using the towers as background. But when I render the animation its just a checkered wallpaper. Not sure if its take extremely long, even when using Eevee. But just wondering why it "won't" export. Been trying to find solutions for days.
Excellent tutorial man Just keep posting tutorials like this and you will put Maya out of business * to keep the camera from slowing down at the end, move the last keyframes a couple frames back
It's cleaner to go into the graph editor, selecting the camera, select the keyframe at frame 0, pressing "T", then selecting "Linear" under "Interpolation".
This tutorial is what inspired me to get serious about Blender. This was the spark needed to realize that I CAN make all those wallpapers on photos I see on the internet.

Why don't you use alt e for individual extrusions, and s for scale ?
Jai Bellare I wasn’t aware of that shortcut, thank you
Ducky 3D lol
No problem, Thanks
the 's' for scale? that's insane lol
blender edit mode shortcuts are a learning curve
When you start to setup your camera animation, make sure to set the Interpolation Mode to linear, if it's not already by default.
Otherwise, you could get some acceleration and deceleration in your camera movements.
this needs more likes. didn't realize this until after a 2hr render lol
how do you do this? ^^
broooo you are god!!!!
Thanks. Been looking for over an hour through 10 pages of google/videos and almost blew my brains out.

in preferences you can go to input and press emulate numpad then do Ctrl + as that shortcut needs the numpad
UV texture thing will be very helpful thanks

Can anyone tell me: at 11:00 he adds a cube and then stretches it to completely envelope the scene. After that he adds the light. What is the purpose of that action (add cube and stretch at 11:00)? .......... it seems to me the final result would have been the same without it ...... thanks!
It is different, just remove the cube and see for yourself :)
Around 1:44 when I try to make the random selections scale down evenly, they all scale uneven for me
I had the same problem to. You need to scale the cube in the "EditMode" or if you scale it in "objectmode" do apply scale. Then it should work
4:30, if someone has a good resource to understand what exactly happens when you plug a color output in a vector input, i'd be the happiest man.
loved this tutorial. you have a new subscriber now. hope we will get to learn more from you.
