Blender Tutorial - Creating a Stormy Ocean

[@BrutafulStudios01]

Awesome. Made even more awesome by adding an airplane flying above from another tutorial and replacing the buoy with a floating donut.

I'm on blender for a year..... and it takes me an hour, and i still can't finish it...... (im not a 3d artist, i just do simple things in 3d that i need for my studying bot damn.. im for a YEAR in blender and I can't even fix problems w camera moving)

[@bill392]

Instead of adding the random camera rotation using a keyframe and noise, I added a "Copy Rotation" constraint, similar to the "Copy Location" and set the "Mix" to "After original". This way, the camera rocks and rolls like the sea surface. If the waves calm down, get more rough, or the camera is moving, it will self-adjust whereas the random noise would not.

[@BlenderMadeEasy]

Nice! I should have thought of that!

[@SuperIceteapeach]

in my project it almost works.. but the camera rotates heavily sometimes, dunno why :/

[@EDcase1]

If anyone is wondering why the Shrink Wrap on the cube is not being the way he is, when you choose the 'Group' on 11:14, it is because you might selected all of the cube's mesh. I'm stuck to this part too and wants to quit but when I realized that he didn't select the bottom of the cube 10:17 , I did not select it too and after repeating the steps multiple times, I did it! And it was fun.

[@Bakamoichigei]

Oh man, this brings back memories! Last time I did a scene like this was in Newtek Lightwave 3D like 20 years ago, using procedural noise maps to make the waves, and some clever shader trickery to add foam to the tops of the waves... The last few years I've often found myself remarking how insane it is that something like Sea of Thieves can render water that looks a million times better, at 4K HDR, in real time, when it took me minutes per frame at like 640x480. 😂

[@Yazzzzy]

I used lightwave 10 years ago in high school. Back then I thought it was the easiest program because I had classroom instruction. Now that I'm learning blender on youtube, I can't figure out how I created my own ideas. I keep following tutorials but hopefully one day I can create something of my own again

[@Bakamoichigei]

@@Yazzzzy Well, I can say with confidence that _it's not you._ I have been trying to learn Blender for at least 15 of the 20 years since I made that scene in Lightwave, and until very recently, Blender has remained utterly impenetrable. The skills simply _would not imprint_ on my brain, no matter how hard I tried. There's something about its UI and the way it chooses to do things that my brain _will not accept._ Lightwave had a far more intuitive interface, and if I installed it right now and opened it up, I'd probably still more or less be able to use it as well as before. Meanwhile, I can spend a week reaching a 'not entirely useless' level of proficiency in Blender, but if I go more than a few days without using it...all gone!

[@Yazzzzy]

@@Bakamoichigei Wow blender is very hard to learn so I’m glad it’s not just me. I forget the interface as well if I don’t use it often. Im glad it’s free but it’s too hard 😭

[@Bakamoichigei]

@@Yazzzzy You'd think that with all the research and sponsorship money the Blender Foundation has gotten, they could afford to do something about how unintuitive and convoluted the interface is. I guess the sad truth is that at this point it's "good enough" and "just how it is" and people have had to learn to cope with how completely bass-ackwards it is. 😭

[@emmanuelmaterne5021]

Thanks for the tuto. There were no issues, super easy to follow. I'm working on the CG boost's lighting. I like Bill392 copy constraint solution, but I think both give a different result that depend on the intention. Meaning: my view was a person floating, so random works better for that. If the person is on a flotation device, then Bill392 is better, but is not, the person's mass would give a more random result, as in the tutorial.

I was struggling to get the second "copy location" for the bouy working - the plane just would not adhere to the ocean surface using the project option - the trick to fix it for me was i had to tick the "negative" box in the modifier box and i think the reason is my plane's position was above the ocean, once i ticked this it worked perfectly

Holly Cow, this looks so real. I have been on the ocean so many times and I can tell you this is amazingly real. The only thing is that when you are in the outskirt of a hurricane, all the waves goes towards one side like from East to West. But you have to be on a big research vessel.

[@Mvanec]

Now the question is, how do you make this loop seamlessly? Is there a way to edit the various "random" XYZ rotation graphs on the camera, to make them end at the same place as they started? Also, is there a way to modify the frame/35 driver so the waves end up at the start? I've been through a couple of iterations using keyframed time values on 2 stacked Ocean modifiers and got the waves to loop that way, but the camera never ends with the same view as it started, and the waves aren't as dramatic as with the frame/35 driver.

[@Top5-p6d]

if you figure out a solution please post it

[@Gannn__]

What you can also do is set some position keyframes 0-(max keyframes) to move your buoy around first to last keyframe as it floats in the water
