Creating an Epic Kingdom in Blender (The Lazy Way)

Also - I forgot to mention that this technique for the clouds is heavily inspired by something similar Ian Hubert showed for making smoke in his Patreon.

In case anyone else came across an issue where having too many clouds introduced black artifacts, I figured out that you need to increase the maximum number of "transparent" bounces in the Light Paths section of the Render settings.

it took me 36546 years to learn how to use the interface and set a layout exactly like yours. Now finally can get started. Love your work btw man thank you so much.

[@DreamSpyLiminal]

You are an inspiration Max. Love your vids. Much appreciated. I already have your course and have learned alot. 2024 let's work.

[@maxhayart]

Appreciate it man! 💪💪💪

[@fullcountercodm5925]

Your motivation bro don’t dip that long

[@ErikMKeller]

Very inspiring! It's so much fun to watch how you build things. Thanks so much for the cloud shader, I rebuilt it and it has so much potential!

[@dwarakesh5891]

Excellent work, it inspires many to take up blender and work on complex scenes like these

[@EntangledFrequency]

Amazing work! Thank you for sharing!

[@pinpingoin]

Exactly what I needed to watch at 4am after ragequitting a scene I've been focused on for 8 hours 💪💪💪💪

[@Kryptonian0024]

This is fantastic art thank you

[@driftingwalnutproductions]

Amazing video! I have learnt so much watching your videos :)

[@bofu.rii-86]

The commentary is funny af. This is my first time watching ur vids. Glad i found it XD

[@SART-bn8lb]

your job is just too perfect

[@gordonbrinkmann]

When you show the Inset > Individual and then extruding along normals with Alt+E, you might also want to take a look at the Depth option of the Inset tool which you get with holding Ctrl. I use it a lot when making kind of multiple stepped insets and no E or Alt+E at all, because you can either use Depth like Extrude along Normals when you keep the (Inset) Thickness at 0, or you can have slanted extrusions like as if you were scaling them down after extruding.

[@aarabzadeh3733]

Thank you max for your videos can you make a video about lighting setups and some tips about the lights

[@MichaelMaurice]

beautiful work, Max. I liked some of those discarded ideas a lot, like at 17:00 -ish

[@chuggies2020]

[@maharisha594]

[@marinamaximchuk4859]

thank you very much it s amazing!!

[@ChustBaghira]

Lazy way: that got me motivated

[@flathead950]

Hey what ui thème are you using ? Thanks !

[@sushrithsnayak4223]

How is Quixel bridge working so well on your Blender 4.0? It doesn't even import surfaces properly in mine it just comes off as white

[@user-xf8xz2fl8w]

These youtube videos are just amazing! I badly want to take course but cant afford that much right now 🥲 but would love to see more videos on this channel!

[@Searly]

hey Max! Quick question: Do you render your scenes in EXR or PNG?

[@fenexus404]

Since he uploads his images to instagram primarily, I suppose its PNG, or something of that sort.

[@pjhill5452]

How do you set up your UI like his? He has a rendered view in the bottom right

[@MegaZekee]

he made a video about it its on his channel

[@omeizasanni]

Im curious, do you sometimes pause to think? or even be in a confused state. Does that ever happen to you?

[@erazergaming5444]

can anyone tell me how to get the tab on his bottom right corner?

[@MagesMedia]

Having an issue at 1:54 when you bevel the edges of the loop cuts. Bevel isn't doing anything to the edges. Help?

[@reallusion]

HI Max, is there any way we can get in touch with you ?

[@Manveer_Dhindsa]

23:00 my clouds cube has the outer edge clearly visible, any help getting rid of that?

[@marvelfactuniverse7938]

Hey, a technical question: don't you think your photos looks different on FB and Insta then what you see on your screen? Everything I upload looks low quality on phone, even I feel good after PS on my screen.

[@imperfectimp]

It could be a compression thing. Some platforms may scale them down or even convert them to jpegs.
Though I'll admit I'm not an expert when it comes to social media.

[@xuannao-qu3fs]

I like your blender theme very much ,can you share it？

[@BlenderTutorialChannel]

extrude faces along Normals is also under a right click

[@NullNoctem]

I've got a question gentlemans! Why did my cloud became black instead of transparent?

[@deadpiece111]

I am loving ur video but one thing i like to point it out is ur UI text is very small very hard to see. i had to zoom what u r doing.

[@RobustCarrotFarmer]

I just made this with AI in 2 minutes

[@spooky3d]

No, you didn't. A computer did. This isn't the flex you think it is, it's actually incredibly lame.

[@RobustCarrotFarmer]

@@spooky3d Truth hurts

[@elevenordie]

so what? :)) the path of thought process is the biggest fun part here not ONLY the result.

[@shagggg]

That's why you're a fool 😂😂

[@elevenordie]

@@shagggg 🤣 look who's talking. thank you for easily describing yourself
