Hey Odditiy 👋 Thank you 🙏 I can’t wait for the next season 🙂

Thanks 🙏

Earth, Fire, Wind, Water, Heart

Hey thank you 👋 Yeah I took onboard the feedback from the last one. 👍 I do my best 🙂

Hi Matt, cheers, this is a recreation of a Jacob Van Ruisdael painting from the 1600’s. I would like to make more painting recreations as it’s a nice challenge, but it also depends on how many views it will get. These daylight views don’t gain much traction so I’m less likely to make more of them as the time it takes vs view count doesn’t add up. I’m more likely to create more sci-fi scenes tbh. But I want to do more of these. The grass and plants are a foliage system, but you need to set up the meshes to work to get them to animate nicely 👍 I don’t quite understand your second paragraph? Are you saying that I never reply to comments? YT studio doesn’t always show all of them so I can’t reply to what I don’t see? Apologies.

@@AmbientRenders I respect it even more now I know it's your version of a famous painting. "Landscape with village in the Distance" I assume? Magnificent, and what a wonderful artist. A lot of his stuff is similar, but if I had those views, I wouldn't feel the need to do any different. However you did the foliage, you did a really nice job! As for my second paragraph, no, I was not suggesting that you do not respond, as I have had the pleasure of speaking to you on multiple occasions. However, with live videos, we don't get to leave permanent comments UNDER the video where you most frequently engage, and there's no point leaving them in the live feed as they scroll past, and are soon gone. Does that clarify my position?

@@matbroomfield Ahh I see! yes I get you now, and it’s always good to chat with you Matt, you have been with me for years! Cheers again mate 👍 the live stream is a huge subject that I could discuss for hours, but simply it works on many levels, I hope it works for those that wish to leave my scenes running constantly without it stopping, many people like to do that, and I love that, so I am more than happy to oblige. For me it works, because for YT to recommend my channel I have to post often, and I mean a LOT to stay relevant, this is very hard for me as I put so much time into each scene, there can sometimes be huge gaps where I never post! I don’t know if you have noticed but this genre is totally saturated these days too, AI generated channels all over the place that post relentlessly, and this stops my channel being recommended by YT as I don’t post very often, so I can’t afford not to keep posting. So the live streams help tide me over whilst I work on other scenes. I hope that makes sense, I am hoping that I post scenes quicker now as I recently have been made redundant from my games studio( the whole studio was laid off) so I should have more time to make videos, although not having a job is scary now that I have to totally rely on YT revenue. So I need to get working on my channel a lot more from now on, so there will be more content from me I’m afraid, I have to now, otherwise I might have to stop, and I wish to grow and evolve my content for many years to come yet 😯

@@AmbientRenders Yes, I've seen the carnage in the gaming industry this year. I never thought it was THAT dependable a career, but many big companies have really showed the contempt they feel for their staff. One of my martial arts students is just finishing a gaming course at college and I can't tell you how relieved I was when he announced that it is not a career he plans to pursue after all. So sorry about your situation. My fear is that you've gone from one capricious career straight into another, and your entire future depends upon algorithms that change with no logic, and are not made public. I suspected that your choices were tactical rather than artistic regarding the way that you release your work. I have to say, I think in general, long format videos have really harmed youtube, with everyone vying to fill the top of my play list. I can certainly understand the logic of why you do so, and I do not criticise you, especially in your current position, for doing all you can to maximise your visibility. In general, I find it incredibly sad when art has to compromise for the sake of the format or financial considerations, but I have had to make similar compromises on occasion as well. I have noticed quite a few players entering your market, although most of the ones I know, use Blender rather than Unreal Engine as you do. It saddens me, when you are producing such incredible work, that youtube makes you compete alongside no effort garbage. It's like pitting Beethoven against a crappy boy band. From what you have said, this is an all or nothing point in your life, with some variables completely beyond your control. I very much hope that you can make a success of it. I've been self employed for over 30 years, and have sacrificed a higher standard of living for autonomy. I can't imagine living any other way. Very best wishes for your success!

Cheers Matt 👍 And thank you for such a generous KoFi donation 🙏 The games industry is going through a very strange time right now, it will be fine, it’s just not great at the moment 👍 I’m no spring chicken so my chances of changing career are slim these days so just doing what I can. By the way if you get recommended loads of channel you don’t want flooding your feed you should be able to hide those channels, I went on a rampage doing this a while ago and my feed is much better for it 🙂 But thanks again I appreciate it 👍 P.S I trained in martial arts for many years, mostly kung fu, boxing and Muay Thai, a big fan of what you do 👍

Hmm what is VR chat world? Is that a real time vr online chat room type thing, like the Quest home space? I have thought many times about this kind of thing

@@AmbientRenders OH why yes it is, it is just like it but has less limitations almost none, uses unity so if you have experience with that it would be a breeze you do need an account, and need something called the creator companion so you can make the "world" and such

@@AmbientRenders If you want more information feel free to ask me I use vrchat to make avatars it's pretty much the same as to uploading worlds

@@slyvixx Hmm it sounds very cool, but moving my scene from unreal to Unity could be a real headache, and might not be feasible. I’ll certainly look into it though, thanks for the heads up on it 👍

I’ve not seen that? Sounds cool!

Thank you, I’m glad it helps!! 🙂🙏👍

Thank you so much!!

Thank you 🙏

Dumbest thing I've heard

@@nnotof3218 Well said, anyone who ends up having a less than positive opinion regarding any media or art they have consumed is dumb.

I will be going back to that 👍

I'd say go for it. Going to love to see how that'd sound.

@@MrSilencing 👍 I’m going to be making a night version of this one next by the way, which should be nice to sleep to…..hopefully 🤞

YES PLEASE 🐉🐉🐉

Please do Elysium Ambiance from the movie. The Elysium spacestation habitat. It would look very cool. You are very skilled in making great ambiance

@@_runta Noted 👍 Thank you, I’ve been watching the Foundation recently and that has some beautiful scenes in it, so will be using that as reference too when I finally make a space scene.
