[@spicytoast6890]

thats actually crazy, I also appreciate how speedy you were and you dont make the video drag on for too long. Just subbed!

[@SinnerD2010]

Found 2 flaws in this setup. 1) The Duplicating technique for the separate segments of square arrays leaves uneven wave patterns on the seams between the outer copied box arrays and the central original. Fix: instead of "add container" method, simply reuse the "Empty Plain Axis" mirroring method for all additional plains added to the scene (i.e. stacks of mirror modifiers on the original array with each subsequent array linked to a different Empty Plain axis.) then it will be 100% synced. 2) Considering the "infinite loop" attempt of this tutorial, one glaring give away is at the far end of the square array, where from frame 120-0 there is a clear horizon distance change as the animation jumps back further to the 0 point of animation. Fix: Not sure...aside from a much large plain array. P.S. Thanks for the tut, very cool!

[@anarchyonyt7542]

btw for anyone that wants a little more shine on their cubes, decrease the roughness and it reflects a bit more

someone showed this in class for an assignment I thought he was a genius but now I realize he just watched a tutorial

[@theremixproject907]

I guess it doesn't require the brain of a genius to find great tutorials on You-Tube, but it does take a very organized & determined deep thinker to conquer Blender & if your classmate has that goal on his list, I'd keep an open mind about him. The Internet is this era's Printing Press, enabling the sharing of knowledge & an access to mentoring that Historians will credit to unlocking 10's of thousands of genius brains that previous generations would have overlooked and laid to waste. Future Historians will also note this era's exponential societal power drain that will be pinned on a subset of loud, lazy, aggressive over-achievers who lend their voices to Social Media's Peanut Gallery Choir , finding pride in holding back reforms and thwarting change. Historians will label them the last of humanity that saw racism as an acceptable necessary tool used to ensure the future well being of their Tribe.

[@artinmajidi1654]

hey this video was AWESOME! I learned a lot and thank you that you told us your specific settings/numbers because that is what is missing in most tutorials! I also did something else, I also added planes right at the bottom of our animated ones and gave them a lot of bloom and basically copy pasted the wave thing to it, and it felt really sick. If anyone did this tutorial, I suggest doing what I did too.

[@PC-hp6gz]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I am an absolute beginner in Blender and this has taught me a stack of stuff. Nice one @Ducky 3D

[@gabrielgonach6330]

Ducky: Sorry for the lag Me: i want that lag....

[@Mortbros]

For anyone having trouble with the plain having a seam when duplicated, i found what helped was to rotate the duplicated plane by 180 degrees on the z axis (although the amount or axis may be different for you). Depending on if the plain is to the left or the right, the degrees may change as well. Hope this helps.

So awesome thanks a lot for doing this. Making this myself was very rewarding. Learning about random selection is awesome. Also learning that using a mirror modifier to get seamless tiling is a great technique. I wouldn't have thought of that but it makes so much sense.
