Create the Light Speed Star Wars Effect in Blender & Eevee (Blender Tutorial)

[@derpsondude583]

I found that plugging in a Bright/contrast node into the emission gave it a really cool effect.

[@AndrewConway]

I Keyframed the focal length. 25mm @the start and 5mm @ the end, and it turned out great... Just sayin.

[@Flaime69]

Imma use this tip thanks!

[@burrasivalohith3060]

and key frame the camera position to go out in linear interpolation.... just sayin

[@Chris-fb6cj]

Me: I wonder what it would look like in cycles. My pc: I’ve got a bad feeling about this.

[@ciso]

just kick out all shaders and your pc will be fine :)

[@juschu85]

I don't think with just those stretched spheres with an emission shader you will see a big improvement in Cycles or bounced lighting in general. You mainly see those spheres because of the light they emit themselves and not because of other light sources that are potentially indirect.

[@GurcharanSingh-qi4ww]

I like how your tutorials are not too complex or bulky just some compact stuff but it ALWAYS blows my mind how these things turn out to be soooo good.

[@jehaanslab]

Nate is realllllllllly good at teaching, I strive to be as good as him at blender one day. I even made a youtube channel that does original tutorials and tips, just like him!

[@harshittiwary382]

The force is strong in this one.

[@andrewsausman]

May the 4th be with you, always!

[@starbrand3726]

Wow! You did that in less than 8 minutes. Awesome!

[@HowToAnimateTutorial]

definitely number one! This a beautiful loop.

[@HowToAnimateTutorial]

Love it so much

[@pfeffermartin642]

Pretty cool i like all your videos and learn a lot thx for u time

[@TheMarshallWalker]

Ducky 3D's abstract art is SOOOO AMAZING!!! He is the man! I enjoy watching each of his unique videos that bring animation tutorials to a new level! His style of teaching is so clearly understood and is what I like to watch when searching for animation tutorials! His tips and tricks have taught me soooo much and led me to start my own animation channel on KZbin. I would love some support if anyone is interested. Keep on making the awesome tutorials Nate!

[@mexlemax3307]

This is really cool again There are a lot of particles, let's see if my PC can handle it. In any case I like it very much. Thank you very much for this tutorial. Super good work from you. Keep up the good work.

[@MiloAdventuresYT]

May the 4th be with you, this is amazing and this is gonna work in some of my fanmade lyric videos. I absolutely love it. Keep up the good work!

[@techrz888]

May the fourth be with you Good Tutorial!

[@imkuat]

Thank you Ducky for the tutorial! This will look VERY cool in my Star Wars animation.

[@antoniobarone14]

Straordinario come sempre i tuoi tutorial

[@gitsfan]

Thanks, it's really helping. I added a colorramp node on the emission texture, and it turned out great.

[@christopherjr7189]

Star Wars Blender tutorials are always welcome

[@peterhu2994]

I'm completely fresh to blender and holy damn this is exactly what I need for my project, thank u sooo much!

[@costaluca78]

I'm Planning a short in 3D with blender about star wars... this is EXACTLY what i need :D thank you

[@MelanieSJane]

Total Cool! I am going to use this in my next music video :)

[@MelanieSJane]

Just uploaded the video "Silver Beam" the link is kzbin.info/www/bejne/anjRhHiDpZaUgNk a big thank you :)

[@reidjohnston7800]

Having the best time learning with your videos. Only problem I ran into with this one was at the end of the loop the cube you use to mask some of the distant particles creates too large a difference in value from the 1st frame, so it will not loop. After trying to adjust some of the values I decided to try a different approach and animated some camera settings to give a similar effect.

[@Mojahideed12]

I love ur tutorials, keep doing them, u r helping me to improve in blender. Thank u!

[@sobreaver]

That's a nice easy one, was looking for something like that for a base to a Bifrost Bridge travel with colours and all, thanks !

[@daremo50na76]

Great tutorial. Mixed some of your ideas with more nodes so I could get motion effect without moving camera at all.

[@AviatorArcade]

Great video, thank you for the tutorials you provide. Very helpful and enjoyable.

[@Atomic-toons00]

stright to the point

[@Cykbra]

Hey ducky I love all your projects I was wondering if you could make something like the sunset and ocean project again that was my favourite

[@uncodedmind6987]

Man, you are helping me so much!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@MrGibbsUK]

My camera seems to slow down around frame 70-80, instead of staying full speed. 80 frames, cylinder is 8m and camera is frame 0 at -8m to frame 80 at 8m.

[@ffbx4143]

i had the same problem. Try changing the "default interpolation" from bezier to linear. You can find it in: edit (top left corner, next to render and file), preferences, animation and it should be under F-curves. Its usually set to bezier as default to "smoothen" the animation.

[@cav157]

x2

[@RogelioIturra]

Thanks Master! New Sub!

[@457Deniz457]

Uhhh nice one. Thanks ! 😊

[@_hanz73]

this is so trippy....but awesome..!!!!

[@caleb1069]

Side not for everyone, but you need to make sure the animation type for the camera is put to linear. Otherwise you wont get a seemless loop.

[@alanmeng65]

may I know where and how to set ' the animation type for the camera is put to linear'?

[@retroeshop1681]

thank you, it worked like a charm ♥

[@arnarn3D]

ayo so good!!!

[@zachhoy]

amazingly simple, thanks man

[@isakfjeldrasmussen6834]

here is a tip if you dont want to have all the stars in a circel at the end: apply the cylinder to a plane instad, then just duplicate the plane acoulpe of times

[@lozcomm]

If theres a particle appearing on the center of the cylinder just lower the emission number

[@johnleighdesigns]

great concept thanks for putting it out there! Im just trying it out and i keep having one issue when adding the particle system i always get one of the particles sitting dead centre inside the tube nothing seems to change it - im still fiddling! Edited update - the extra particle is being added to the object centre point so had to move that outside the object to avoid - hope that helps anyone with same issue and if it evokes any alternative ideas on how avoid having the annoying particle added to center point

[@avajeida1351]

I was having the same issue. I lowered the seeds in particle systems from 1000 to 999 and that worked for me.

[@johnleighdesigns]

@@avajeida1351 yes indeed and i also noticed the same that if u lave at default particles is when u get this issue good to know!

[@5spec]

Actually gonna use this for a Kamen Rider Black transformation effect

[@ryanramon810]

Every time I try to do one of these tutorials where we use the particle system I always end up with one particle right smack in the middle of the cylinder and I can't figure out why it's there. All the other particles snap to the surface of the cylinder except 1 single particle. Anyone else run into this issue? Edit: I figured it out. I lowered the number of seeds from 1000 to 999 and it removed the particle in the middle of the scene. No idea why

[@jakewest6890]

The same thing happened to me, but out of curiosity of what it would look like in cycles I switched to it; after switching back the center particle is gone, hope this helps!

[@BloodBoughtMinistries]

same here as well as my animation slowing down, will try your fix for the particle.

[@avajeida1351]

this fixed my issue too!

[@AviGgamedev]

thanks bro

[@thepatchbay]

Love it! Thanks man!

[@zefsam]

Thanks for this video

[@mozammil4385]

Yesterday i made this with same technique ...today you uploaded tutorial.....

[@spiritwolf5792]

2:30 wouldn't toggling "Emitter" off be better?

[@JillSpears]

That's what I did

[@sidben7048]

My Boy , Keep Going

[@discreet_boson]

I legit wanted to this exact thing for some time

[@quatschkopq186]

How can you prevent some stars from rotating, while rotating the whole cylinder itself?

[@dancing会議]

Thank you for this awesome video!!! At about 2:10, the extended UV sphere is blocking the exit of the cylinder vertically like a fence. What is causing this and how can I fix it?

[@dancing会議]

Solved!!

[@spinmaster9812]

You know what would be waaay better? ANIMATING THE FOCAL LENGTH!! When you adjusted the focal length it Just hit me. I cant be the only one that can see that focal length going from 50 to 5 is the process of powering up the hyper drive right? RIGHT?

[@shadoze4267]

youre so good at this, i need to put it at 0.5 speed and im still failing. Youre too efficient lol

[@theConstantVariable]

hey legend! i tried this effect but it is keeping background as grey, how to resolve it bro ? i tried messing up with render pass but its keeping it grey or default background color when i render animation . It is showing black in viewport shader thought.

[@dhirajbibekar5304]

Bro when I go to the render menu I don't get that black background

[@michaelwilliams5719]

You truly are amazing. Can you do flying through space, animate electricity, or data traveling like in Age of Ultron?

[@byroncos]

Amazing!

[@rkfacttechz3940]

Excellent... Dear.

[@rken100]

So cool 😎

[@nikhilchauhan2736]

Wow ❤️

[@bryansailer5927]

Thank you for creating this tutorial. I have recreated the scene but my camera slows down prior to frame 80, pauses then the loop starts over. What may I be doing wrong?

[@noblenatty4879]

same dk how to fix it

[@siyathniduwara]

Nice work

[@ChozoSR388]

I wonder if it'd be possible to add that 'rotating crumpled tin foil' effect from the original trilogy hyperspace sequences.

[@Ironwolf_2019]

hello, I have a problem and it is that when I put frames to the camera at the end of the animation (by frame 80) the camera stops slowly and I don't know how to fix that.

[@QUESTIONSPOT]

What are the specifications of your device?

[@WaterShowsProd]

The original effect was done with crumpled aluminium foil.

[@paingsoeoo7511]

why my scene is gray instead of black in rendered view?

[@theurmomclan4695]

How do u make the background black?

[@navitato]

Finally!!!

[@_hanz73]

awesome...!!!

[@Kommentiert_]

How do i get a constant acceleration with my camera? I did everything like you but it my camera gets a little bit slower to the end of my frames. It looks like the camera goes down to 0 speed at Frame 78-80. My effect isn´t seamless.

[@quadgon]

Awesome! Love the focal point trick :D Technically I assume you could make a curved cylinder to simulate some kind of wormhole effect as well?

[@alvisbansal3d]

Sir can you make video on sculpting also

[@nickinthecave]

Hi, i tried following this tutorial but i get artifacts at the outside off the screen when rendering. It isn't there in the render preview. It isn't there without the animation. A frame rendered with the keyframes shows the artifact, when i remove the keyframes the artifact dissapears. It dissapears when i up the focal length, or turn off the blur. but i need both to create this effect. Any help would be great!

[@GlobalPsychosis]

When you go into render view, your background is black. Mine is grey. How do you change that?

[@subramaniyamsudharshani8215]

Please make tutorial about star lord helmet animation

[@dikurammurmu8667]

Can u make welding spark animation in blender...

[@eddiec1999]

How to you make it to where you exit out of hyperspace

[@tunnis7us]

simple and beautiful :) thanks btw do you post videos to instagram and it loops those movies or what ?

[@nicholasbecker5966]

I wonder the Bifrost Effect in Thor has similar workflow

[@shubhamroy6547]

Hi, I'm a beginner. A rendering model has its border or edges. I need to know, how can I off those edges? plz, tell me.

[@discreet_boson]

Maybe use the Hitchcock effect or motion blur

[@nf_felix]

awesome ;)

[@thepandakerfuffle-bandoffi3623]

Hello good sir. Love your tutorials and I've obviously started using them to create vids for my music. One quick question though: at 2:30 when you hid the cylinder, why the wireframe with 0 thickness instead of just Show Emitter being turned off? thanks

[@zuni_chief]

Is there a way to render this in blender with a transparent background or afterwards chroma key it in another software to make the background transparent?

[@flamecrew9atroblox958]

how do u make the room dark??

[@sicfxmusic]

StarTrek is superior!! Oops I said it.. 👀👀

[@elliotchevalier9112]

Why does my animation slows down at the end ? And also, I have a weird sphere spawning at some point.

[@DJShadesUK]

It may just be my imagination but this doesn't loop seamlessly; you forgot to do your (animation length + 1 frame) thing for the camera end position. Also, there appears to be a dip in brightness when the animation loops back to the beginning because, since you are using volumetrics, there are no particles behind the camera lighting the scene but there IS at the animation end point. That too is an easy fix; just add another collection behind the camera at its start position.

[@nickinthecave]

Can you explain what you mean with (animation length + 1 frame) when i use the volume shader on the cube the opening of the cilinders also gets bigger in the animation

[@eshanpradhan7255]

My camera speed slows down as it approaches the end frames. any solution to this? this is making the animation look NOT seamless

[@BloodBoughtMinistries]

same with mine

[@eshanpradhan7255]

@@BloodBoughtMinistries I figured it out. When you select the camera there is an option to edit the graph. You make the curve q straight line. It works

[@graphguy]

5.18.2024 Would be nice to update this with v4.1 :)

[@bluetongue7723]

I was following the tutorial and a single particle in the middle of the cylinder kept appearing, is there a way to get rid ot it? Edit: I saw that the particle was right on the origin of the mesh, and moving the origin out of the way got rid of the particle

[@distressedmystery7233]

i made it a little slow and added stranger things theme song, it was epic

[@alanmeng65]

camera ends to slow down when it near +8m. why?

[@DinosaaaarGaming]

If anyone else has problems with the animation slowing down at the end, this site helped me a lot: blender.stackexchange.com/questions/1579/how-do-i-make-animations-a-steady-speed

[@cav157]

Thanks

[@tsetsoooo]

when you switch to material preview your whole enviorment fades to dark , mine isnt. I have no idea how to even attempt to emulate this result. I tried messing with the render engines but nothing i get nothing close. Is it because my video card is a Nvidia 970 ?

[@MrRobMusic1]

There's a world shader in the default new file that needs to be changed to black. He may have changed it before the tut. He shows that in other videos. Go to tab (on the right side, looks like earth with poles) and then under it says color, change it to black

[@generalphysics-problemsand4426]

Very nice! I frequently use your tips and tricks and because of your tutorials, I become a very good blender user as well. But just one thing regarding the title. The speed of light is not so fast. For example, the light needs 8 minutes from the Sun to reach the Earth. So actually you are talking about the warp speed. Good job, keep doing it, and thanks.

[@vortexlinks7982]

How do you actually make the video loop after you make a render animation of it love your content btw your my favorite blender artist

[@InformatrIIcks]

Export as video (AVI) and then find an AVI to GIF converter

[@vortexlinks7982]

Ok do You know a avi to gif converter in windows 10

[@63incident]

everytime i animate my camera, it slows down at the end, how do i sort it out?

[@AwesomeSauceShow]

Ohoho looks nice, but it could use some fogy tunnel effect. As next I wish for a Star Trek Warp effect, but pleas a bit more authentic than this one. I dare u ;)
