Artistic Trees In Blender

[@Settiis]

I had absolutely no idea how to begin with modeling trees... now after 8 minutes, I think I'm ready to go. What a great tutorial.

[@dakotayocom7764]

Agreed! I feel like I could go build a bunch of trees and grass and have a little world of my own in an hour! In fact I think I will.

[@eggeggington606]

@@dakotayocom7764 how did it go?

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Man tutorials like these remind me that Blender is incredible and a true artistic tool. Thank you for sharing these amazing tips!! I'm a scifi guy but now I want to go and make a fantasy scene landscape!

[@bangtangirl5900]

Me too, I'm a sci-fi guy😍 I love making futuristic things

Even microsoft paint can be artistic if you are willing enough

[@narun23]

dude did i just discover your channel and it is amazing. it takes a lot of courage to start a tutorial channel but I love it and you're doing great. and its one of the best feeling to find a small tutorial channel that too for blender coz u find so many new things and u see how other people approach art and 3D and I love it. keep up the good work.

[@The3DCubeS]

If your planning on not doing any kind of animation, you can plug the camera output instead of object. It basicaly projects the texture from the camera to the object

[@HerrDoktorWeberMD]

learning about the skin modifier is a game changer, I've been psyching myself out about trees and now it's just this dang easy!

[@vilgotisaksson3443]

It all works perfectly until I tried to add materials I don’t seem to under stand how to add the texture? can you explain how you added the bark texture from texture haven?

[@abuloly2690]

07:02 .. How did the green link take out the top of the material output?

[@campfriend2749]

This is probably the easiest tutorial on blender trees... yet the most rewarding!

[@gatofuji7410]

Ooooh. I lost my breath. Fantastic. I have been doing some tutorials on making trees and every one is different from the other. Quite a wonderous journey. THIS tutorial, in particular, is one of the best, if not the best one I did so far.

[@liamrogers9393]

I would love to see a tutorial on your painting in photoshop on top of the blender scene! It really brings its to life!

[@fabianogama39]

This is exactly what I needed to my project. The scenes with trees were in stand by untill I found a way to improve the trees I had there, but wasn't looking good.

[@blenderer3191]

you dont need a vector node for scale, use value node instead, since it's uniform, the number. And for leaves mix it with translucent shader, not subsurface. It's more accurate for foliage... i use cycles, no clue if Eevee supports translucent?

[@tobinloveday]

It does, you just have to switch the blend mode to alpha blend in the material's settings.

[@reubengecko]

Your channel is criminally underrated, keep up the hard work!

[@tusharkashyap2431]

If anyone having problem of weird mesh after applying skin modifier then just go to edit mode select all vertices (a) and then ctrl a like he did at 1:10

[@micmacha]

This is quite possibly the best tree tutorial I've ever seen. Thank you.

[@DaaronIrwing]

yes, but he skipped second par

[@GoronTico]

I love this tutorial. Simple for begginers, and full of tricks for intermediate users!

[@jonasvirsila4179]

Question: How to apply physics to the leaves? Such as implementing in Unity and adding wind physic to the leaves.

[@exorcist3d99]

Can keyframe the texture on a displace modifier, shape keys would also work.. I'm sure there are many more ways as well i'm forgetting

[@knightguy2699]

You don't use physics here, you animated it

[@RevolverPicturesYT]

In 2015 I was taught in a college course to box model trees and leaves. I saw you make a better tree than I ever made in 2 minutes.

[@Doubleaa500]

Only the best do tutorials like this!! The way you are "doing it" as opposed to telling how it's done... its hard to explain, but you are someone who is very easy to learn from!! Thank you!!

[@Ash_18037]

That tip for the array modifier on the branches was a new one for me and very useful, thanks. The leaves approach you used was not very good though, it creates stupidly large leaves in proportion to the tree and only looks at all decent from a long way away. A far better approach is to create the 'leaf' in a similar way, but then create a displaced sphere (using a noise texture) and add a particle system with the leaf as the render object, and set to 'volume' This creates many smaller leaves inside the volume, that can then be duplicated and added to branches where it makes sense.

[@mrmeu3480]

But if it's for a game it might take a lot more ressources

[@hdouirgzz9m687]

extremely useful and easy to follow tutorial

[@Pertev777]

This tutorial is just awesome in almost every way. Until the part with the Remesh modifier came and again crashed blender. The remesh modifier is my nemesis :(

[@stylie473joker5]

XD

[@vorrdegard2176]

There is a program called instaremesh light n free

[@ellysiancode]

Entertaining and very insightful - thank you!

[@SimoneBattaglia94]

Lovely! Maybe the only thing I'd add is normal editing into a sphere the normals of the leaves to hide the clustering and rough low poly shading.

[@CriticalGiants]

We actually made a version with that, but we are saving it for another tutorial ;) but it looks awesome!

[@lornemclean]

@@CriticalGiants hi is there a link to that video?

[@marinamaximchuk4859]

amazing! thank you for this tutorial ❤❤❤🎉😊

[@Jay0neDE]

I tried creating trees myself for 2 hours, didn't go anywhere. then 5 seconds into the video I see the old plane to one vertex thing and went "of course!!!". this is so much faster than trying to glue cubes together

[@grproteus]

the singular of "vertices" is "vertex". love the tutorial.

[@colejohnson5699]

either is acceptable

[@laneczora1780]

Another great tool for making plant base structures is the built in Ivy Generator. I even saw the RIOTGEAR guy make lightning with it, given the natural randomness along curves that it generates. Used in tandem with this method, I see some pretty slick trees in my future!

[@avekatten3207]

As someone new to blender, why does everyone skip 5:47? How do i add the defuse...

[@sidhadhbinu560]

quick quick ! you forgot to show how you made the leaves "move". Please share the technique used, it looked so neat and realistic. ; )

[@CriticalGiants]

Modifier-> Wave -> Animate boom.

[@sidhadhbinu560]

@@CriticalGiants wow!! thanksssss a lot. ill try that.

[@alexandere8415]

7:03 what button did he press to get the viewport node to show up

[@captaincrispy2184]

I love the channel content, I love the tutorial, I love your personality. It's just such a blessing to be a part of this community.

[@QuantayPeoples]

3d programs are the ultimate hack for painters who are trying to nail lighting vs shadows.

[@cyrotek3518]

Damnit, how did I never realize this combination of modifiers for something like that.

[@satyamanu2211]

Subscribed for the background music 😂👍

[@julian7434]

0:42 how do you do that?

[@ShiftK]

I managed to do it by clicking R, then left-clicking. Then in the bottom left corner, open the "Rotate" tab and enable "Proportional Editing". Then change the Angle value. There's probably a better way of doing this but I can't find the hotkey he used.

[@MoritzAK]

NICE! Awsome Tutorial. Exactly what i was looking for, for a few years ^^. I could only find realistic tree Tutorials (with tree generators) or lowpoly tutorials, but nothing more stylized or for (animated)conceptarts where you have more controll. Thank you and keep it up :D

[@hugemonkey38]

ended up with 55 million tris only great tutorial!

[@FrankCappello_official]

There is no vector math node in 3.3 now. I guess they moved it to the geometry nodes but can't use that in normal nodes.

[@loikares6531]

This is the best tutorial video of how to make a tree, period.

[@arbasss]

Image textures doesn't work on the merged cube.

[@standlethemandle]

Where did you get that leaf texture!!! I can't find it anywhere...

best tree tutorial on yt

[@WalrusesAreTheOne]

How are you extruding up? I;m already stuck at 0:25..

[@ApsyK]

Make sure you are in vertex select mode, when going into edit mode you can switch between vertex/edges/faces with the 3 icons next to the edit mode dropdown.

[@EzLevi]

Im switching to blender and this is really helpful :D

[@AGKyran]

Waaaa... My life is changed !

[@SVisionary]

Friendly reminder to new modelers here. If you're looking to make these for say - game design, you're going to need to learn how to convert the UV's into a proper flowing texture map. You'll notice that he's using a Zed or tri-planar texture projection which is why the texture doesn't flow along the branches. Still, for just getting your foot in the door in understanding how you could make a simple tree, this is an excellent start.

[@ClaudioMalagrino]

Compact tutorial, with lots of useful information without the usual BS. Thank you!

[@kadugbuss]

First video i found that teach how to actually make a tree instead of using an automated addon

[@markecgazda3880]

Some are sad and some are weird hahahaha awesome tutorial!!

I love your channel! I can't count the times you've uploaded a video that has blown my mind or completely helped me out with projects! Thank you :D

[@aiden_obj]

Your workflow of making the scene in blender, and then painting over it in photoshop is really interesting, I'll have to try it out!

[@VMP666]

Fuuuuuuck finally some good tree tutorials! I can't goddamn stand those Mtree and other usal suspects trees, and most people make those tutorials like they've never even seen a tree;) thank you, looks great!

[@aesthetixstudio]

Finally after a year I found what I was looking for...

[@yurazah]

any idea why this tree slows down blender so much? i have a rx6800xt is it shouldn't be demanding at all...

[@infamia_aoe4965]

Really helpful, thanks!

[@NICK....]

I have been searching for something like this for days, thanks!

[@CriticalGiants]

Glad it was helpul!

[@nagysamuel2575]

Holy crap, thank you

[@hund1267]

nice and on point

[@CowboyBoomBoomSlim]

Amazing tutorial! It's great to see how easy it really is to create unique-looking trees while completely avoiding the tree plugin. One minor tip though. For me, it was a little bit difficult to what you were saying near the end of the video. Perhaps you could try to articulate a little bit more clearly in your future videos? But yeah, absolutely great stuff!

[@yassboss8172]

Hey, I have a problem with the texturing with the texture not showing. I made sure I did it correctly, but it still doesn't work.

[@fro0714]

question from a blemder newbie. how did the texture images popped up like they did in the materials part? did u add them already? and how i make them appear in the shader editor? hopefully this will be amswered

[@dig333]

I think it comes from the Viewer node but i'm not sure

8:01 Where is the Randomizer?

[@dig333]

in edit mode, deploy "smooth" tool and select randomize

[@marcoseliasmep]

Wow I learned a lot with just one video! Thanks!!!

[@artecno882]

I dont know when rotated axis dont make array some suggestion?

[@MechanicalMadness]

How am i using 10gb of ram the second i turn on sub d with 1 subdivision and less demanding remesh than the one that is used in the video, then viewport and editing performance is non existant

[@Adm_ist_The_Best_QB]

why when i use the skin modifier it only puts the modifier on the top of the tree

[@roselightmoon]

That was amazing, wow. This is even better than tree sappling. I'm wondering if it would be possible to add the leaves through a particle system on the branches instead?

[@drumboarder1]

Of course you could using weight painting or vertex groups but it seems like that would take about as long as just copying them a handful of times

[@roxanneparis3770]

Is there a fix for the side being stretched? I leaned the tree but as result the part that had to stretch to make the lean now doesn't match the rest of the texture

[@raincale7985]

This is an excellent method for creating trees thank you. I find however that the remesh ends up lagging me quite a bit and I can never quite get it to work without making jagged glitchey topology

[@asukareilin]

I’m stuck at adding “empty” when I try to go to Object mode I’m met with an Eldritch horror of intersecting lines….

I've never seen remesh used in this way, and it's absolutely genius.

I'm having a problem after I had applied the array my original tree disappears. I think it is because of the remesh, but I don't know how to fix it.

where did you learn about cntr+a hotkey in edit mode? I read skin modifier article on official web site, but there is nothing about cntl+a

Bro, why when i add subdivision surface modifier its become just a line? Please answer
