Create a Galaxy in Blender - Iridesium

[@aldemar9416]

I know you're going for a faster tutorial style which is fine I guess but I noticed you skipped over vital points that had me pausing and analyzing the video very closely till i realized you completely skipped over and cut out some parts that have a massive affect on the render, come on man. there lots of people that won't notice and will completely ruin the tutorial for them, giving you more dislikes

[@miura_vs]

The number of times he says one thing and does something completely different is infuriating. "Set this to .9" (Changes to .35). He also doesn't explain the why behind any of it, so no one is actually learning anything. No one will walk away from this video understanding how to create a galaxy. They'll have to come back and reference this video every time. Maybe that's what he wants. It's all about getting views, likes, subscribers, and comments like this these. No one actually cares if anyone learns anything anymore.

[@DaveAcosta]

If you had problems with it like me at the very beginning, try this: in the gradient texture node, put it on spherical. put the texture coordinate node from object to vector, by default it's from uv to vector, so it's possible you don't see anything changing.

[@richardcastonguay4423]

Thank you so much, David. If your note was not here, I probably would not have gone on. Although this guy has some cool stuff he's making, he's not thorough enough in his instruction.

[@ANADIPATHAK-ns4kn]

thanks helped me a lot

[@SoftRadioChannel]

You saved me!

[@adriellee1143]

thx bro!

[@blenderman1541]

Thank you! I actually had to squint my eyes to see all the changes but it's was really hard when he did not show those changes. This helped a lot

[@MusicSoul-e1s]

my first experience with Blender. I Downloaded Blender 4.0, and i was able to find and follow all of your nodes and the result is Amazing, i'm designing galaxies like a pro because of you. Thank you so much.

[@JaredOwen]

This video is amazing! I love procedural tutorials like this. Please keep them coming😎

[@gutozardy5568]

This tutorial is amazing, but like in other Iridesium tutorials, everything is so fast and rushed, many parameters are changed and he doesn´t tell us about them. We need to pay attention , because some changed parameter can change the results too.

[@gustavstaugaard1294]

Sometimes he doesn't even show they change, they just do

[@over1498]

From 3:05 to 3:10 several settings change without any mention and it makes following the tutorial impossible *Bros I am sorry, this was one of the hardest to follow and least helpful tutorials I've ever watched, and I've done everything from machine learning in Jupyter to Davinci Fusion to Unreal Engine, to advanced Photoshop and AfterEffects... I am relatively certain it is not me. At least a dozen times settings change with no reference to what's happening... " lets go ahead and do this" is not a good descriptor for people trying to follow a very complex workflow. Little to no idea what any of these dozens of nodes we're adding actually do... TLDR: I'd never give a thumbs down to a tutorial genuinely trying to help people. I just think people should know before the jump into this: If... IF... you want this level of detail (you don't need it to make a galaxy)... It should have been like 2 hours, not 20 minutes.

[@jaydmathewson]

The best Blender tutorial I have come across so far on KZbin. I could actually follow what you were doing with the nodes and learnt more about how they work. Fantastic job, thank you!

[@garrys-music]

This tutorial doesn't work with blender 3.0. i could fix some of the issues but not all. My result looks very different from yours. It's very hard to follow your tutorial, because you change a lot of things without showing or explaining them. - But I love your video because it gives me new inputs, how to handle shaders and nodes. Thanks for your work!!

[@ziyanezirli7552]

cz he changed a lot of thinks but didint show it... need to find and see what he changed but didnt show. some guy write in coment(david acoste) what need to change find his comment and try to fix

[@Micromation]

@Iridesium you're alive bro? It's been 10 months :C

[@mrtrigger2016]

If you're having trouble at 10:15, on the texture coordinate node, plug object into vector on the mapping node instead of generated and swap the black and white color stops on the color ramp connected to Voronoi texture

[@kwesiwhite4855]

THANK YOU!!!

[@marcoblargherson5824]

TYSM!!!

[@blenderman1541]

It's so weird why he cuts all of a sudden and doesn't show the changes. I mean, how are we supposed to know what he did? but thanks so much man. Helped a lot

[@lindaemmerich]

Thanks so much!

[@Clownconspirator]

thank you sir, had the colors swapped but the obj to vector saved me

[@R-Tex.]

Where are you? We've been waiting for 2 years now!

[@CapnCant]

"so im going to set this back to 0.6... " *next frame shows it as 1.0 at the edge of the screen* 12:38 for those wondering. not to mention immedietely after that you begin talking about the noise texture without mentioning that you changed it to 4D, changed the scale, changed the power node, AND changed the z scale on the mapping node that comes before the gradient texture.

[@Pavel-wj7gy]

Not to mention that he had spent 3/4 of the video length before painting the particles while talking about some "details", lmao. I don't know about you, but if I were to talk about details, I would paint it first. But in this process things are just perfectly aligned - everything works on the first try.

How powerful PC - have you got - to be able to handle such objects in the scene (particle systems) ?

[@StaticPhotons]

Super inspiring stuff! I've wanted to make galaxies since seeing Burrel Durrant Hifle's work on the Wonders of the Universe series. This video has definitely inspired me to give it another crack, those are some very impressive results for such simple (efficient!) node setups. Thank you for posting!

[@fareed006]

Where are you its been 2 yearsssssss !!!

[@Fenrill06]

Beautiful creations! Just one point from an astronomical perspective: The stars you portray as being "within" the galaxy you are depicting are actually stars located in the observer's own galaxy. With the perspective (framing) you are adopting in your creation: No star from any galaxy would be sufficiently luminous to be visible from your standpoint. Perhaps with a zoom multiplied by a billion, captured by a professional photograph equipped with a sensor of several million billion pixels of resolution, after dozens of hours of exposure on a 30-meter diameter telescope... You might possibly discern 1 or 2 blurry and brownish pixels... But never a distinct bright point in the overall image... Without delving into details, it is crucial to understand that distances in the universe are literally astronomical ;)... The scales of distances are so enormous that they defy our capacity for representation... It's even more complex than trying to conceptualize the span of a human lifetime on the scale of the history of our planet. In summary, creating a mask of stars inspired by the shape of the galaxy to incorporate them solely within it is a scientific error ;) Either you are making your observation from the empty space between galaxies, and in that case, no star is visible... Or you are making your observation from another galaxy, and then the stars would be present throughout the image... Not only as an "overlay" on the galaxy you are depicting. ^_^

Nice video! I am trying to recreate the one at 20:54 but can't even get close to this result. Can someone help me?

[@Doyleur]

My glowy centre became considerably less glowy at 12:12.

[@AncientGranules]

This is a positive critic - OK? Interesting video, but I had to stop at 12:19, as I cannot make anything work any more, as I also noticed the Camera Perspective also says (1) Collection, so I guess this is a separate collection added to this video where there is another clip-jump? I have seen quite a number of 'jumps and cuts' within the video that render very difficult to recreate... at least from a 'newbie' point of view. I followed every detail (including the data input 'correctly'). But, once in a while I found details changed without showing it on the video... (I kept checking - just in case I missed bits) maybe you lost clips of video? Well, nice... pity I could not finish it, I will have to look for another video then. I really would have liked to finish this one. Maybe a re-make of this video on Blender 3.6 ? - just a thought. 😎

[@Raven_HyperNova]

you need to make a short film of some type, like, a dragon fight or a space battle or really anything

[@naammekyarakhahai9597]

I hate the fact that the tutorial was nothing like the intro clip. I tuned in to make that but now I'm stuck with a really pale galaxy and I have no clue what to do. Also can anyone help me out with the rotating cloud overlay? Don't know how to add that

[@travistrapani1926]

You keep doing things and not showing it. So when I do something it never does what you show. Try to show EVERYTHING you do. (i.e. One frame of the video shows the Gradient set to linear. Then 15 frames later it is set to Spherical. So I spent 45 min trying to figure out why what I did didn't have the same result as you....)

[@IrreversibleExtents]

Haha, you made this the same day I made my best galaxy shader. Right now, it only applies to planes, I'm working on the volumetric version. Haha, "Simple UFO Model". My node setup for my galaxy shader is a lot more intense on the node quantity, but I grouped them all up into a simple modular and procedural setup, and I would even say my galaxies would be photorealistic.

[@CarpeUniversum]

Would love to see them.

[@bombardier0543]

Damnnn it's great! For closeups I recommend using branched path tracing to get more control over the volume's detail. Also the stars are great and could be rendered on another view layer to add glare on them.

[@toby-ot7jh]

could you explain how this is working

[@bruncebanani8854]

This is both the best and the worst video I have seen this week. It's the best because the result is just stunning, and I can only guess how much experimenting went into this, before it looked like that. It's also the worst because to make sure that I made no mistakes, I followed your guide very carefully, copied all the values etc. so I can always compare my current result with yours and then spot the eventual mistakes immediatelly. At least that's what I thought. Thing is: you constantly kept changing values without notice "off camera" which made it incredibly tedious to follow. I really tried my best, but my result doesn't even look half as good as yours (still good though). I'll try to finde my mistakes. It would btw. be really helpful to have a picture of the complete node-setup

[@51milesaway]

[@2k7u]

Actually the data was stored in a server and in this guy's computer both are very probably on the surface of Earth so in theory its actually not out of this world however if someone watches this videos over 4g it is likely that eventually the data will reach outer space using electromagnetic waves now it is truly out of this world, in the case some advanced alien civilization comes across the data and decide to decrypt it instead of assuming it is background space radiation, the data will not only be out of this world; it will also be multi-civilizational edit: We do a little trolling

Nice video, thanks for making this! One suggestion would be to provide the full node tree as a download image(s) since the shader editor cannot show the entire node graph for review. Despite carefully following the steps there are often questions about what is being connected to what (when nodes are off screen) and reviewing via video is not always as easy as one would like.
