I make almost $1000 every month selling 3D stl files. I learned almost everything I know from the Blender Guru channel. If it were not for your tutorials and the fact that Blender is generously free, I probably would have starved or turned to crime during the lockdowns.
From the end of January until now, I have kept the bills paid and my family fed off of what I learned from you. To think, it all started with a tourus and a donut model.
As soon as I can afford it, I am coming for more poliigon textures.
How do you make money doing 3d stl files? I wanted to live off 3d for a while
That's great! When you can, if you're consistently making money, chuck a little bit back to the Blender Development Fund. Then it would be free, because of people like you 😘
@@lolmao500 He is creating 3d model (miniatures) for 3D printing, they sell very well. There are many 3d selling model sites but I will recommend CgTrader.
i hope you did at least one donation to encourage him !
I feel you - I am doing side work and I found that half of my income last year was art.
I'm sure he's making a house to fill it with donuts
Yes, pls!
I hope so
and that's where the couch comes in

Even I think so!
Alright we're going to make a complete home here. 🏡
Wkwkwkw
I like this!
To fill it with millions of donuts

No you are wrong
He is making earth

5:55 To insert the Keyframe for the shape key hower over the value field and hit "I", then repeat at frame 50 after changing it to a value of 1
omfg thank you. I spent an hour trying to figure what was wrong
Thank you so much, I was struggling to figure out what happened there.
thank you so much!!! I was confused
i added key frames but curtain not moving in object and edit mode. Value is also 0 and 1 on 50
You are a life savoir seriously thank you so much
Awesome! Thanks for this Andrew!
For creating the pleats you can save time and work by selecting the first vertex of the first pleat, shift 7 vertices away for the next pleat, then use Control+Shift+Numpad+ to continue the selection pattern across the mesh. Repeat this for the second vertex of each pleat and so on, this way you only need to modify the mesh for one pleat and it will be copied along the mesh.
I don't have a numpad :( but nice tip
I just wanna call out how easy you make this stuff to learn. Its so overwhelming at times. Even my young children(between the ages of 8 and 11) all really enjoy your friendly attitude and thorough teachings. Thanks for taking something potentially hugely complicated and making it a lot easier for a lot of people.
This is literally what I need right now for my project! Thank you so much Blender Guru for your architecture and interiors related tutorials!
Nevermind the current topic, I would like to say some general things considering your videos. I've been following you tutorials for months (perhaps even years) and I learned great things about modelling, animating, techniques etc etc mostly from your dedication and effort. You simply hit the sweet spot we all need to improve. Thank you very much, you're so outta of this world. Keep it up!
your sense of humor whilst explaining (in a very clear way) makes learning even more fun. thank you!!
Okay this is freaky... literally just yesterday I was banging my head against the wall trying to make realistic curtains for a project. And turns out you uploaded this that same day. Andrew you mind reader!!
Blender Guru is the very first site I consulted on opening my very first Blender program and for all the years I have learned he has been both inspirational and a blessing to me. Much thanks extended to you and your family and do enjoy the Christmas season.
Me : Hits play button after adding keyframes.
My computer : This little mistake is gonna cost you 52 years..!
"This little maneuver is gonna cost us 51 years"*
@@abdullaishfaq3166 yeah !! i couldn't remember it than.
Pc: its not possible
Me: no it’s necessary
@Dhritwan Choudhary haha nice
Thanks Andrew. This series is amazing. I really appreciate all the attention to detail and information. Longtime fan and your content is better than ever!
I love your tutorials because unlike other tutorials you explain each and every thing you do
Hey Andrew!
I hope you don't stop making uploads. Your stuff has helped me learn a lot.
Ten years have passed since the first video you posted on TH-cam. Thank you very much for your help. I just got acquainted with Blender and my situation is like the ninth video you posted 😁
Great! Your tutorials are so helpful and well explained. Thank you!
Thank You so much. Was desperately looking for this for my interior scenes, so happy for timing.
Tbh, I had checked out most other videos because I needed to make a realistic Curtain and this here, this just saved me big time. Thank you sir!!
I absolutely love your tutorials, If it wasn't for you I wouldn't be working in the industry, it's not using blender, but it's where it all started, with the doughnut. thanks again.
this helped me as a newbie blender user. as a 11yr old, this is very helpful and i will continue to use this. thank you.
Nice tutorial, Andrew! Keep them coming.
The thing I like abt ur tutorials is that they are very detailed. thanks for that. please make more tutorials.
I‘ve been waiting for THIS! Thank you, mate! 🤠
You read my mind Andrew, just the information I was looking for. Thanks bro
Fantastic tutorial. I made some lovely theatre drapes. Thanks so much.
Eendroo (Aussie) is the best tutor ! always goes way beyond normal tuts into the nitty gritty stuff - love it !
The old style big tutorials are back. I like it
You are amazing. At one point I was quitting learning blender until i saw your videos.Thumbs up
loving this and thank you very much!!!!! signing up now!
I've waited months for a tutorial like this. I haven't watched it yet, but I know this is the one.
Again, thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am learning a lot.
I am working on a scene which has a curtain. I was searching for some tutorials on how to make a curtain in blender. And the Guru is here with another tutorial. Thanks Buddy ! 😀
I Really Love Your Work. 👍
th-cam.com/video/WRLImtCx2BY/w-d-xo.html
Thx Andrew. Perfect and very useful as usual!!!
Thank you Andrew!
Thanx for your tutorial. I just needed to make 5 curtains for my scene and it was the perfect way to learn how to do it !
Man! You always inspire us!
Great tutorial, thanks!
Oh wow, I never ended my bedroom project from weeks ago because I couldn't do the curtains properly. Thank you as always Andrew!
Awesome tutorial, thank you
your tutorials are diffrent than the others, keep going!
Always good stuff, thanks!
Thanks, I feel like a connoisseur of curtains now. My life is complete, my spirit devoted and my body ready.
I have been seeing you vids from the 2 million special vid youre vids are amazing and when I downloaded blender I did not have any idea but because of that donut series it was super easy
These tutorials are too useful! It would be nice to have some tips for the outside too! Heavy scene management, tips for creating realistic grass and for a photorealistic exterior
Long time no see...
And finally another realastic tutorial....
Thanks.... We're waiting for it
Nice job Mr. Guru, please continue with the interior items, they are very interesting to make
Whoa this guy looks stunning.
Very nice tutorial bud! Thanks :)
great as always, your tutorial is excellent, one can learn very much from, TY for sharing Bests
You are a genius, thanks a lot
Nicework man
Thank you For Everything You make Blender Easier
I love to watch movies like this ;) Thank You Guru!
Thank you for tutorial.
from my testing. using shapekeys is sometimes very buggy. i use hook modifier instead. its more animation friendly too .
edit also note if you dont want to make a soild fabric to keep things low poly. you can use translucent shader instead it works better for that case.
WooooW amazing
Thank you so much
please continue
thank you so much for this.. lovely and such great help
Oh thanks for sharing this informative stuff.
this is great stuff!!!
Best explained video
I've been trying to do this for a long time.. thank you...!!
I like every single your tutorial. Imagine what happen if blender without Andrew.
I was working on a personal project and didnt know how to make curtains. I knew this video existed and it was the first thing that came into my mind😁.
Really amazing, thank you very much 😇👌
Cant wait for archviz tutorial 🙌
Mesmerizing, as all your tutorials.
Love the new haircut!!
For the creases you can use checker deselect in the select tab to make that less tedious
I love how blender guru is aiming for the archviz blenders ^^ , thats the missing type of videos in TH-cam. I wish you do some sverchok videos someday
wow...subserf for translucency. Never Thought of that myself. Thank you again
thanks i learned allot from you
There was another very good curtain tutorial out there ! But im sure Guru is gonna make us regret all the other ones !
thx great vid always
what can I say...u r the best!
Thank you
I always like yourtutorial..😀😀😀😀
Thank You
Dude how did you know I am making my own room model and upload this because I am about to start making curtains. Blender guru it is second time you guessed the guide I want XD nice
Started from the donut now we here! 🎵 😂
I learned so much from your tutorial and now I'm addicted in doing interior scenes. Thank you!
BTW. I'm using a macbook pro 2012 (non-retina) and still surviving. 😂
Does it crash during render? I'm using an iMac, it crashes sometimes when I render.
@@go360ph7It's all fine aside of course the render time is slow. But it crashes every time I (accidentally) switch to EEVEE render preview so I only use cycles or just the plain wireframe mode.
For someone who is lazy as me for modelling pleads, I've used checker deselect tab (which you can find at the top of the viewport, next to Object/edit mode sign under Select section) with those settings: Deselected 2, selected 1, offest -2 for plane with 100 subdivs. It gave nearly the same shape you can see in video, but with smaller gaps
Thank you so much.Very useful)))
thank u so much! i did a beatiful curtain for a escenario and it looks really cool
I love you Andrew Price- you still use cycles wow! I love cycles so much
him: 40 min tutorial
me: a week take it or leave it
If you're in 2.9 and the cloth is going haywire, set the top option under Playback to the far left of the animation controls to No Sync. You may need to change a setting in the cloth mod afterwards for it to drop its cache.
Thanks for the tutorial donut guy
no comment. just great like always...
Tittle : how to realistic curtain in blender
me : hold my doughnut
😂
Lol!
And my coffee. Please save my chair and make sure nobody touches that anvil. You can sit on the couch if you like.
@@sharath2273 you watch every tutorial of him, nice

Thank You very Much for Your video))
Once you have your zigzag, you can select all of the bottom vertices, right click and hit align to grid to straighten them out.
Try creating cleats using Edit: Select: Checker Deselect. It makes it easy to control the pattern across the pin group working from patterns of deselected, selected, and offset. I wanted to create a gentle sine wave (without Python!) so selected the pin group (the rest was hidden, as you suggested), then used Checker Deselect to set Selected (3), Deselected (5), Offset (eyeball it). I pushed those forward a little bit, generating the start of the pleat into the room. Reselected all, and used Checker Deselect with the same settings but changed the Offset so the three selected were the middle three of the 5 deselected the first time; pushed those sets of three backwards toward the wall/window/screen. Then, to smooth the curves a little, select all, Selected (1), Deselected (7), Offset (eyeball the middle of one of the threes); push that selection group just a little bit further, making a nice rounded curve. Repeat by changing the Offset so the other middle of three can be pushed a little further along its curve. Voila!
I love the title... Ah yess I’d like to learn how to Realistic curtains.

I am so grateful that i know blender guru and i am learning from him.when i earn my first from blender i will make donation ☺☺
Subsurface scattering is *not* a replacement for translucency. I recommend using diffuse (or no spec principled) mixed with translucency, with a slightly darker and more saturated translucency (rays gets more absorbed - tinted - as they pass through the material) - perhaps mixed with geometry/incoming based rough refraction if you need it to catch highlights from the backside.
Translucency let light pass through the surface and cause proper shadow on the backside - i.e. a telephone pole on the outside would create a shadow on the backside of the curtain. Translucency is the same as standard diffuse, except it operates only on the backsiding face of the lightsource. Tweaking SSS radius you can get a (not good looking) shadow, but you can't get it to pass light through.
Unless you really know what you're doing, using a mix shader to mix them together rather than adding them to conserve energy. Except on the rim in some cases to add the appearance of thickness, I don't bother with solidify (why add tons of geometry for no good reason?), but I will add a lacing effect using a transparency mask at the end. You may want to modulate the transparency "hole size" depending on viewing angle in order to make up for missing solidify. And unless you want them to catch highlights, I wouldn't bother with fresnel and glossy at all. Yes, theoretically everything has fresnel - on a flat representation of the material. But on fabrics like this the weave makes it so rough fresnel is practically pointless and only serve to reduce light transport (if caustics are turned off).
On the modelling side, I'm not sure why go through all that pain. Do one (or better yet plan for it in advance), delete the rest of it and just apply an array modifier with more repeats than you need. Alternatively checker deselect might have been useful. Then redo the vertex group stretching if you prefer the shapekey approach. I prefer the copy scale constraint.x with a line I just change while the animation is playing. Delete the excess vertical strips to get rid of any weird looking corners.
I dont get the part of the lacing effect and transparency mask. Change the BSDFs seams to work pretty nice and reduce considerably render times (Almost half the time) end gave a more realistic look in my opinion!
supeeeeer nice i love this thankk you
Nice i live your videos!
Thanks 👍
awesome, thank you so much : )
Finally :3
I can at last cover my windows with something other than blinds and shutters
