That's the crucial thing with adblockers, that when you have those active you need to be super careful not to visit any sites that are monetized using ads! Although I guess if you are paying for TH-cam Premium then it's not a problem and you can have an adblocker enabled as it won't block anything integral.

    Hey Blender Guru!! I am not that of an experienced artist but this might help with your render times for future large projects like this. At 14:41 when you were talking about render times, one thing that would drastically improve your render times is weight painting, in this scene the ground assets were scattered everywhere, which means that there were trees and plants that the camera would never be able to see, so after finalizing your camera movement, by drawing a weight paint mask only on where the camera would see the assets won't pe placed out of sight and thus your PC won't have to calculate light and geometry that won't be visible.... This has saved me tons of hours of rendering and hope it will be useful for you too!!

    • @teeambird2079
      @teeambird2079 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      If you mask out assets doesn’t that create unnatural lighting as though the cabin isn’t in the middle of the woods but more at the edge of a tree line or a clearing, with unobstructed light coming straight through to the scene. Whereas leaving the assets will bounce scatter and block light the way a real forest would. I guess you have to cut corners depending on how long you want to spend rendering.

    • @SquishyFX
      @SquishyFX 2 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@teeambird2079 So for that I believe you could mask out assets to a SPECIFIC DISTANCE out of the camera's view so that you get the natural lighting of the forest. But the assets scattered out WAY behind the camera makes so little difference in the render that is is recommended to mask it out if you want the renders to be faster....

    • @WJS774
      @WJS774 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@teeambird2079 It depends on what it is you're masking out. If you block the trees outside the view of the camera that will definitely affect the lighting, but the groundcover probably won't. And for simply providing ambient light and shadow you could replace the off-camera trees with low poly versions, if you were doing an animation where render time outweighs development time, I can see it being worth the extra optimisation.

    I am very new to Blender and I thought creating something like this takes a professional artist couple of hours at max. I would still be on planting trees 5 days later and then abounded the project thinking I am very bad at it. Knowing it took you over 3 weeks to make this speaks very loud about what it takes to get the final render. Most tutorials make things look easy and us noobs get discouraged when it doesn't go as we would expect. Point is, keep trying until it works. Thank you for your awesome videos man!

    I'm finally working my way back through my "Watch Later" list that's been growing for nearly a year while I've barely been on TH-cam, and I'm on this one to start off my Monday morning. Honestly, it's exactly what I needed for all the reasons you detailed at the beginning. As much as I love watching and following along with tutorials, it can definitely make you feel like you're not doing well enough in your art. I've gotten to a point where even getting up the motivation to follow a tutorial is a struggle with my limited free time after work each day, so I've been feeling like my growth as an artist is stagnating. It's hard to feel accomplished when almost all the art you feel like doing is a tutorial project that thousands of other people have also done.
    All this to say, thank you for making this to show us all the work that goes in to making these scenes and videos. Not only does it give me a new appreciation for the level of commitment and care it must take for someone to create tutorials in the first place, but it also shows that even the pros struggle sometimes. It makes me feel a lot better about my own struggles, and I feel like I can do this level of work if I find the time and put my mind to it.

As for intentionally searching for something that could be improved, my gut feeling tells me the green from the trees and vines is too different from the green of the forest floor. Also, the camera with random motions for renders is genius I love it.
