Honestly, I'm amazed that you've so few subs and also video. I love the way you explain things; Being concise yet also not goiong on and on for ages. Straight to the point with all that's really needed. I've learned more about the idea of how to use nodes from this video of yours, basically in those 40 minutes ( it felt like 8-10!!) than from HOURS of other youtubers videos. Amazing. Sub from me, and I really hope to see more of your content. Keep it up, I'm loving it.
I love your tutorials! They are clear and easy to follow and informative. I can't wait to try this one out. Thanks for the hard work and the top notch production value.
Really beautiful! Also your presentation is inimitable: you really explain things well, with an aurora of calmness that makes your videos very easy to digest. Please, please do more of these full-length tutorials.
Thanks a lot! Explanations are just so simple with you and understandable. With nodes, its just not easy to picture it and you did a great job along the vid to show what certain things do. I will experiment for sure and send you my result.
Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within my computer!? Thank you for the great tutorial! :)
Awesome, I've been wondering how to do this! I'm curious to play around with the coordinate noise (8:22). I just learned that Musgrave produces positive & negative values (which usually get clipped to black), so using _Add_ instead of _Mix_ might make it more intuitive to control the noise amount with the mix factor? OTOH that weird warping kinda looks cool... As always, really well explained, and the end result looks great. Thanks!
Watched some of your tutorials and always had a feeling that you remind me someone... Mix Shader of 2: 1 - Linus Gabriel Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips YT channel). Not a duplicate, but even mimics are common to me :) 2 - David Tennant (Doctor Who show). Overall and specially shots when he is in glasses. PS: Tutorials are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD. Learned like a whole new world to me. Cant stop watching. So so SO GOOD. I felt like i loosing inspiration to learn new stuff in blender and you just bring it to a whole new level to me. The feeling like when i just started 3D and it was pure magic to me, like a kid before Christmas. Thank you so much!
There is a quick solution for the constant deleting of the viewer node, you ctrl-click your final shader node (the one that goes into the output of your shader).
For anyone who feels too lazy to manually set the position of the ribbons with the colour ramp: you can achieve much the same thing in a more procedural way using a 1D noise texture. Use the gradient factor as the W input to a 1D noise (or if you want more control over variation, use the X component of the vector input to a 2D noise), and then use a colour ramp (or curves, or map range) to clip the shadows and highlights. But obviously this method has less direct creative control than the colour ramp method
I wonder if enabling Bloom could take care of the bottom appearing less streaky? 24:48 Also, I'll give wobbling 2D sheets instead of volumetrics a shot.
I just found your channel... And it really helped me in creating my assets, so I searched for your patreon Id or such, to support.. But I couldn't find any?
Can anyone guess as to why this works for me in Cycles but not Eevee? When I use Eevee the Aurora just draws as a blank space from a very early point in the tutorial. I'm assuming I have some preference wrong somewhere... Still new to blender so probably something obvious. (Got to say though that this tutorial is amazing. Learned so much from Dylan. Dude, you're a great teacher.)
Hi Dylan, thank you for this. If you wanted to adapt the volumetric light / emission shader to the curvature of a sphere (planet), how would you approach this? As it is now light follows a straight line/axis.
A fantastic tutorial, thank you so much, Dylan!! I created the aurora based on it but I found the 3D and/or anime cannot be exported to the developer working on Unity. I am a very beginner at 3D and animation. Could you tell me if there are any solutions? 😂😂😂 Thanks!!!
This is an incredible tutorial, it looks great in eevee , but I don't understand why this effect cannot be done in Cycles. It turns out just an empty square. Please explain
If I were to want to apply this to a torus(viewed at a diagonal angle from below), how would I do so? Any tips, suggestions, or resources would be great.
hello and thank you for this video tutorial I tried to do as you but I have 2-3 "errors" _ I can see the 1st ribbon very well and the 2nd a little, but not too much the 3rd and 4th _ I don't really see the gradient from green to red Do you have an idea ?
this was one of THE BEST tutorials I have ever seen! maybe a little bit longer than desired, but you kept it simple yet comprehensive and took your time to really explain stuff, so I didnt just blindly copy everything you did, but actually learned something! thanks for that. also, here is my Aurora animation: th-cam.com/video/wwqp3W-k4Oo/w-d-xo.html
Yeah, what YT counts as a "view" is surprisingly complicated, and has to be added up among different Google servers across the globe. Errors & delays from that can become obvious on small view counts. (I think Tom Scott made a video on this? AFAIR back then it just counted site hits below 300, and then became stuck until the servers were on the same page.)
To create from scratch? I totally agree. It's not just blender, there's so much math and also understanding how all those nodes not only work by themselves, but also together. Not to speak about understanding what should come first, what second etc... It's amazing. Have you seen Nodvember 2020? It was soooo amazing.
Hey everyone, first new long form tutorial in a while, hopefully not too rusty! Enjoy and please post your results on Instagram!
Not rusty at all :) keep going

Amazing.
Sub from me, and I really hope to see more of your content.
Keep it up, I'm loving it.
this was so much fun, thank you for posting. I'm going to see if I can't apply it to an animated HDRI sky
duuuuuuude you blew my mind when you stretched the color ramp
“back in my day” made me laugh. and then cry.
Never even touched blender.... Watched the whole thing!
Beautiful + Entertaining.
Might as well get into it in the future.
Really informative and well-explained - thanks for making this video.
I love your tutorials! They are clear and easy to follow and informative. I can't wait to try this one out. Thanks for the hard work and the top notch production value.
After getting such fantastic results from your ocean tutorial I'm so excited to try this one when I get home from work tonight! Thanks :)
Really beautiful! Also your presentation is inimitable: you really explain things well, with an aurora of calmness that makes your videos very easy to digest. Please, please do more of these full-length tutorials.
I literally just needed northern lights for the next scene I’m working on, nice :)
Hey, thank you man! This was an incredibly helpful tutorial, super easy to follow along to. Your attention to detail doesn't go unappreciated.
Nice work!
I wanted to do a 60s tutorial on how i did my auroras, but you now have a much better guide here.
Thanks for sharing!
Awesome effect. Can‘t wait to try it out!✌🏻
Thanks a lot! Explanations are just so simple with you and understandable. With nodes, its just not easy to picture it and you did a great job along the vid to show what certain things do. I will experiment for sure and send you my result.
Incredibly detailed and thorough tutorial, I love learning what the nodes ACTUALLY do and you did not disappoint. Thank you sir
Very nice tutorial. Thank you very much.
looks great!
Thank you, Dylan, for explaining Generated Texture Coordinate!
Really good video! Will use this in a project soon.
AMAZING ! I learned soo much ! Thanks Dylan !
Great Tutorial. Thank you!
Awesome tutorial! Thanks!
really good tutorial 👌
You're an excellent teacher. Thank you
Learned a lot, thanks!
this is amaaaazing!!!
thank you so much for this tutorial! learned a lot about nodes and also volumetrics, uploaded the render to my channel too!
Your tutorials are great, please make more!
Great!!! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
man, you rock! thanks for the tutorial!
i love this tutorial
Great video mate.
Aurora Borealis!? At this time of year, at this time of day, in this part of the country, localized entirely within my computer!? Thank you for the great tutorial! :)
Magnificent!
Awesome!
Brooo, so cooollll!!!!!!!
Nice , and subbed

Mix Shader of 2:
1 - Linus Gabriel Sebastian (Linus Tech Tips YT channel). Not a duplicate, but even mimics are common to me :)
2 - David Tennant (Doctor Who show). Overall and specially shots when he is in glasses.

Lol mix shader. So like 0.9 David Tennant and 0.1 Linus right? Right??? Thanks for the kind words! Glad you like the vids.
great tutorial(you can press s in the shader editor to start searching)
Fell in love with your pacing/detailed explanations! Really easy to follow. Would it be possible to make the lights form a word?
i found that on the ribbon color ramp, it looked very cool to have the black with a value of 0.002
"''G YY is the local axis." Worth the watch right there. But wait, there's more!
Nice
Nice tutorial! Now I just need one about how to model skinners´ kitchen.
I made it using principled volume. It worked 🙂
thank you
There is a quick solution for the constant deleting of the viewer node, you ctrl-click your final shader node (the one that goes into the output of your shader).
I really like your works. Can you make a video about dynamic foam and waves on the ocean? I really want to learn dynamic painting
Where is the HDRI?
For anyone who feels too lazy to manually set the position of the ribbons with the colour ramp: you can achieve much the same thing in a more procedural way using a 1D noise texture.

I wonder if enabling Bloom could take care of the bottom appearing less streaky? 24:48
Also, I'll give wobbling 2D sheets instead of volumetrics a shot.

I created the aurora based on it but I found the 3D and/or anime cannot be exported to the developer working on Unity. I am a very beginner at 3D and animation.
Could you tell me if there are any solutions? 😂😂😂 Thanks!!!
Tutorial to how to create feathers with the hair sistem
This is an incredible tutorial, it looks great in eevee , but I don't understand why this effect cannot be done in Cycles. It turns out just an empty square. Please explain
how many times did people click 0 to go to camera view and restart the video?
If I were to want to apply this to a torus(viewed at a diagonal angle from below), how would I do so? Any tips, suggestions, or resources would be great.
I am using this in a render of Jupiter, is there any way to get this to form into a circle?
May I know how do you export the aurora as .gltf file or .obj, what I get is a white solid box
hello and thank you for this video tutorial
I tried to do as you but I have 2-3 "errors"
_ I can see the 1st ribbon very well and the 2nd a little, but not too much the 3rd and 4th
_ I don't really see the gradient from green to red
Do you have an idea ?
I didn't understand - what is the purpose of the gradient across the X dimension?
How do i import this into ue4?
hdri?
I think Im one of the few poeple who uses the shading tab instead of bringing up the materials editor in the layout tab
is this the last video for the channel :(
this was one of THE BEST tutorials I have ever seen! maybe a little bit longer than desired, but you kept it simple yet comprehensive and took your time to really explain stuff, so I didnt just blindly copy everything you did, but actually learned something! thanks for that. also, here is my Aurora animation: th-cam.com/video/wwqp3W-k4Oo/w-d-xo.html
Why did you disappear??????? We need you
Had a big project on last couple of months that took all my spare time. Project ends today... Starting work on more videos on Monday
2 views but 6 likes 🤔🤔🤔🤔

**stupid virus** ?!?!
Virus : Get em.
Did you totally stop making tutorials?
I'll be back
hey really nice tutorial but my ears bleed
this tut is hard af if you have no basic knowledge of blender
To create from scratch? I totally agree.
It's not just blender, there's so much math and also understanding how all those nodes not only work by themselves, but also together.
