Lol. I hope this help you all too. Me, a total noob: '' One-minute tutorial, alright! this gonna be good! Geek: ''Control R and... tries command ...

Unlikely chance someone will read this but, I'm having trouble after finishing the node for the branch material. After I connected the shaders, all the branches have white backgrounds. Not sure if I just did something wrong, I repeated everything he did like 10 times now... -Edit: Figured it out! If anyone is having the same problem, select the branch material and go to the materials tab and under the settings there's something called "Blend Mode", click the drop down menu next to it and select it to "Alpha Clip"- EDIT 2: The solution is actually to change your renderer to cycles, if you have this problem, most likely you have your renderer to Eevee, so change that and it should work. You can look up how to change the renderer if you don't know, it's not that bad.

Really glad this video isn't clickbait and teaches you just what the title says! Granted, you have to already be experienced with Blender to comprehend the video as fast as the information is being spewed out, making it useless for beginners to the software...sorry, I meant *the intended target audience for this video*. Otherwise, keep up the great work driving off your target audience with your impressively intimidating speed!

All I can say is THANK GOD I'm so tired of overly long KZbin videos where the speaker gives a 120 second long introduction into their channel, who they are, what they ate for breakfast, how many kids they have, etc, etc... Just give me the info because I'm in a hurry and that's why I'm on KZbin looking for tutorials in the first place.

BUT CgGeek is also very talented... most talented is offcourse blender guru... but love everyone... its just idea(ian hubert put for fast) but you have to make everything yourself... its same like saying every comedian that he is trying to be chaplin

[@deidara_8598]

Exellent tutorial, straight to the point with no fooling around.

[@Evasius]

So basically in a minute I learned the overarching concept of how someone that’s skilled with blender could create this rather quickly, record the process and speed it up to where the largely incomprehensible but entertaining summary lasts 1 minute.

[@doubledog5187]

Yes! :)

[@truedantell]

Ian Hubert does it better tho. and first

[@SupaKoopaTroopa64]

I think he's trying to do a tutorial in the style of Royal Skies LLC's 30 second Blender tutorials. The problem is, making a tree is a very basic task, so you would only be watching a tutorial if you wanted to get better at making a tree, in which case a high level overview would be quite useless. Something like setting up wrist drivers for a character rig, on the other hand, only require a brief explanation, as there isn't really a faster workflow or better method for doing said task.

[@schworak]

Oh man! Doing it in 1 minute is crazy fast but with the pause button I was able to follow along. :) THANKS!

[@justanameonyourscreen5954]

What's retopo...

[@LORDZILLA_2002]

Re-topology. In 3D modelling topology is how the vertices and edges in a mesh are organised which is important for things like efficient animation, for example if you look at a VFX breakdown of an animated movie, when it gets to a characters head and then displays the wireframe of the mesh you'll notice a ring of faces around the eyes, mouth etc. Re-topology is the process of re-organizing the verts and edges for efficiency in animation and keeping the model free of ngons, from what I understand it's also used to reduce poly counts whilst retaining detail in models used in video games as to make sure the games are nicely optimized whilst still looking good.

[@dhruvi2569]

@@Soulsphere001 yeah, I've been trying to find good tutorials for trees like this but its pretty hard to follow along when you don't know the features and controls very well

[@Soulsphere001]

@@dhruvi2569 There's a tree generator addon, which I have never used, if you don't mind using that. Hopefully this helps: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4XXopeIdrKSZpI Otherwise, you pretty much just create a stump shape by adding a vertical loop cut and shaping it, then keep extruding the upper faces, of the stump, mostly upward, getting a bit smaller as you go up. You just keep extruding out various branches and use loop cuts when needed. So you pretty much just need to learn to use the loop cut tool, the extrude tool, and you probably already know how to move, rotate, and scale faces I hope. The rest of it is a bit more complicated.

[@MrOverfloater]

This is a tutorial, not a meme. Just without filler content.

[@labradorpup2001]

okay I tried to use youtube subtitles to write out whats been said. but they're rubbish so I dictated my own from what I could hear from the video: hit CTRL+R and cut the default cube in half. scale up the middle and scale on the sides. with the top two faces selected, start CTRL+R clicking to extrude up your tree, scaling every once in a while. here we can split our tree by extruding right with one branch and left with the other. if you feel the need for some reference then add an image background. add some more loop cuts to make faces for more branches. branch out here, branch out there and you've got a pretty decent looking tree. using the images as planes add on import the branch texture. align the origin point up at the start of the branch and add in four loop cuts. cut around that branch now and delete the excess faces. add some variation to that flat plan. create a new vertex group for that tree select the outer branches and assign. use weight paint mode for tweaking a new particly system. choose hair and make that ten, choose advanced. under render choose object, object is that branch. select the vertex group we made. use rotation and global Z randomize to pull those branches down. some random phase and random scale and 300 branches. now with an HDR loaded, choose transparent for the branch material and add shader and a translucent shader connecting it to the bottom connect up the colour and we have light passing through our tree. add a bark texture for the tree unwrap with U smart UV project scale and move these up and in the specular and normal maps and we have a tree!
