Blender Tutorial 2.8 - How to Create Abstract DNA

[@theloafdude8304]

I never thought of using a that simple way of obliterating the default cube...

[@CRogers]

2:00 You can also just add a mirror modifier before the screw modifier. That way you can adjust the distance between the two easier and non destructively.

Modifiers- 0:44 Particle System- 4:24 SHADING- 7:13 LIGHTNING--9:20 DUST PARTCILES- 13:33

Well played on annihilating the default cube. Also, thank you THANK you for this tutorial. I've been tasked with making an animation that involves several short sequences of DNA and this gives me some great techniques to build on. Especially now that I'm trying to get my studio to incorporate Blender into our pipeline.

[@BlenderMadeEasy]

Glad I could help!

[@TopperDillon]

Great tutorial! You have a new fanboy!

[@LawrenceAaronLuther]

Wow I didn't know 2.8 had built in compatibility with the recycle bin. I always felt so wasteful just throwing geometry away glad to help the environment a bit

[@emana2143]

Thank you so mush! This video was what I was looking for the most about DNA modeling.

[@ShinyBuhbuhsaur]

You can get the same results in EEVEE by using the Object Info node instead of the Particle Info node. It also has a random output that currently works in blender that seems to work the same way for this project.

[@greyvirus444]

Love your tutorials and humor! That's the only way I delete the default Cube ))

[@olgacava2757]

Thanks a lot!!! It's pretty easy to get and to remember all the steps 😉. Nice job!!!!!!!

[@MrIzeQ]

You, your channel and your tutorials are awesome

[@jesicaveron5654]

Great video! Could you make another tutorial in which the DNA particles move?

[@AiringAustin]

How do I scale the DNA down at 12:20? Each item scales differently on my end.

[@guevinnamies8929]

Hey, just before rendering everything is perfect but as soon as I render every thing is like straight stick, the curve aren't rendering, do you know why ?

[@SaptaTechEnthusiast]

Blenderguru and this channel is like the videocopilot of blender....

[@SwordToothTiger]

Joke about default cube just wonderful! Nice one!

[@lemuel1035]

Can you make a tutorial where the DNA is moving around or something like that?

[@BlenderMadeEasy]

That is a good idea! I might use that!

[@lemuel1035]

@@BlenderMadeEasy Great!

I used to work medical visualization with C4D,but this makes me rethink abot Blender 2.8.Can you do more mograph tuts in Blender?

[@userxbw]

get that circle modifier and make it follow it. something like that. you could even make this grow in length too if you are wanting to figure that out.

[@CRogers]

@@jeremy3ddave422 check out "ducky 3D" for blender mograph tuts. It's kinda his specialty.

[@bobfurness2753]

When I try to copy or duplicate the string (around 11minutes) it gets stuck on the origin creating a spiral on the "ladder steps" and spreading them out from the original origin, I've spent 9 hours trying various stuff, and no joy, I can't copy it as it is in the vid, pulling hair out!

[@3d_hive295]

As a solution you could copy the objects then paste then move it to wherever you would like in the scene

[@bobfurness2753]

@@3d_hive295 the curves copy but the ladder seems to stick to the origin point of the first array ladder step, the second one, it's doing my head in

[@bobfurness2753]

@@3d_hive295 thats kind of working thanks, gotta play a little with it but awesome, youROCK!

[@3d_hive295]

No problem glad you figured it out!

[@luisalmaraz2549]

is it possible to embed text within the double helix structure?

[@jokerthetrickster7664]

everything went smooth at first but when i tried making a new one and restarted from the start, when i pick screw, it just forms a smaller circle and when i "screwed" it, it doesnt come out like the video. instead its a tall blocks, idk how to really describe it but yeh... idk what happend...

[@warlord76i]

I disabled ''show emitter''' but its still there ?..,?:? Ok. I found that in Context-Object-Instancing u must disable also display instancer...weird

[@markwang9259]

sorry when I click screw, it can only from a small circle instead of a large circle around the center... what should I do?

[@julianwildauer]

Thats amazing THX

[@saltywolf7328]

This came at a great time because we are just learning about DNA in my biology class :D

[@danielcoats1676]

I am having some trouble here, and I was wondering if anyone could help me. @2:53, he says to add an empty axes. Mine does not look like it appears on the screen but his does. I have to go moving the bottom of the DNA strand in order to find the small crosshairs, and then move them to where is it located on the tutorial. After selecting the empty with the eyedropper, it turns into a box. Mine does not do that (doesn't do anything actually when clicked on). What am I doing wrong here? Also, how do I get the "empty" crosshairs where his are in the video and how do I make them bigger so that I can see where they are locate

[@Wzxxx]

Genius. As an old beginner i would never think to do it that way. Great tutorial. Thx man.

[@Cyber_Kriss]

What's an old beginner btw ?

[@Wzxxx]

K I am 37. About 1 year of learning blender.

[@denashouma4912]

why does my middle part moving downwards instead of upwards min 4:01

[@dashaalien1841]

have the same issue(

[@lorenccollaku3921]

When I raise up the count of my empties they all go down on the z axis not following the screw but the opposite specular. Why the hell?????

[@inferno4738]

Try moving the empty on the z axis

[@bobfurness2753]

Does anyone know how to do these final steps in Gimp?

[@Slicekb]

Came for the tutorial stayed for the humour...😅

[@Spyro_2076]

I don't know what I'm doing wrong but now the cube won't empty from recycle bin!? Tried everything....

[@AllExistence]

Could have used collection instances.

[@nishantkumar9570]

Awesome thanks you really made it easy. Your name justifying your explanation. 🤗😊. Thank You very much.

[@MarkSmith-wg4is]

You may be interested to know, but the tutorial works nearly perfectly using Eevee.

[@lightning8542]

Wouldn't it be easier to make a rectangular plane, add loop cuts. Then wireframe modifier then simple deform modier? Just 3 Steps and your done.

[@o1ecypher]

Thanks bro

[@JANjeweetzali]

Okay as promised I'm doing all your 2.8x tutorials and so far it is going great. I liked the Marvel one a lot and made it showing my friends name to make him enthousiastic for Blender! I also feel like you are a friend but one that would be a bit angry if I am working too slow so that's good :P I don't understand why you don't have more subs, maybe you should show your face on screen! Also put a patreon / paypal link so we can tip you! The only question I have this far is if I press Z i only get 4 options and you have like 6, what's up with that? Cya tomorrow

[@BlenderMadeEasy]

Haha I'm glad you are enjoying them! I have thought about doing a patreon, I might set one up pretty soon here. To answer your question if you go to Edit>User Preferences>Keymap you will see an option for Extra Shading Pie Menu Items. If you click on that checkbox you will see the other options when you press Z.

[@lemuel1035]

Nice

[@lurker668]

I wonder if anyone actually tried to put the cube into Bin haha

[@bobfurness2753]

That did make me laugh, thanks, who'd have thought I'd need that when still in nighttime curfews, certainly not when this vid was made did we ever imagine such ridiculousness, I shall now re-use my recycle bin

[@AnkitRathore-ru5kh]

It is noisy while rendering

[@rosiemcgowan3872]

Poor default cube! It is good for some things! If you dont want it as default click it type x then delete.Then ctrl u to save start up file! Just saying x

[@jonathanbaincosmologyvideo3868]

this would be meaningful if DNA was actually real science instead of quackery

[@jeffg4686]

lol, recycle bin - hahaha

[@omaridreas8638]

JAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJJAJAJAJAJAJAA

[@kamilwux8719]

So unclear tutorial, at one second you're nice to inform us that to activate something you have to click the checkbox 🤣 but then you play with the "empty" without single explanation why and what it does, badly done tutorial
