[@Denomote]

for us, this is the day we saw the greatest blender art piece of all time, as for the artist that made it, it was friday

[@Pyramid_Skeem]

🤣😂 funny cause it's true

[@---Nikita--]

why make a static render in 3d if you can generate the same or better in stable diffusion?

[@Denomote]

@@---Nikita-- where's the fun in that

[@---Nikita--]

​@@Denomote same question for making static art but in 3d. but okay... someone paints with oil on canvas, restores vintage cars in etc. it's ok

[@Denomote]

@@---Nikita-- the artist here is doing it as a hobby, not a job also creating something you're proud of and showing it to the world is objectively way better than simply hitting a generate button when someone looks at a great art piece that someone spent hours on, they say "wow this must have taken a long time, it looks incredible" it's like the artist that made it earned his title as an artist but when someone looks at a generated art piece, they tend to completely forget about the "creator"

[@s34n2]

Its so simple yet so detailed, I always worry about the detail when making scenes which would discourage me from even starting, but after seeing this video it really shows you don't need to fret over every detail to make it look good.

[@ChillieGaming]

Well if it's a 3d render with far away distance then yea don't waste time on things that won't ever be seen. But if you are making a game then yea detailing each part while maintaining art style and performance is crucial

[@user-ut8yf2ul6e]

Shaders will detail everything for you ))

[@cowldryd0g658]

I love how the scene is made almost only with simple shapes and a bunch of assets and simple models, thank you so much for uploading this, it's so mindblowing for me to see such a beautifull artwork with just a flat plane as the base of the entire project haha. Great work!!

[@thegreatgatsby5493]

I really hope Blender takes place of Maya and Max soon. In a world where every software has to be purchased by per month membership, Blender is REALLY important for the society; inspiring and helping many young and adults who can't afford Max and Maya.

[@davewills6121]

Just started out in Blender and its so addictive, i now have a new hobby and passion, and it's tutorials like this that inspire and motivate. Kudos

[@CarsOverdose]

This is work of art. From the music, the environment, the vibe under a bridge in an apocalyptic timeline. You sir can evoke emotions big companies with unlimited employees can never evoke. I would love to see an animation render from this project if you have the time. Truly amazing.

[@desireops]

I would say Naughty Dog did amazing in evoking emotions through the environment :/

[@rufukyduky]

@@desireops Of course they did, they have the best people available in the industry. I appreciate original comment, but it's just simply untrue, what Naughty Dog did with both The Last of Us parts in astonishing

[@Z3D04_]

Words isn’t enough! Look great, for a person that haven’t been using blender for to long this is what inspirers me ti keep keep going and some day achieve this kind of result! Great work and have a blessed day every one!

[@affigeralbert3967]

Bro pleeeeeeaaaaase keep this going! This is so relaxing and impressiv at the same time! Your such an inspiration for me and for shure other blender artists as well!

[@sketchinginblender]

thank you very much😉

[@ShieldedRender]

If possible, don't stop. These are so incredible and so inspiring to watch. Well done!

[@watchandproduce]

I like how you fixed a small window for the camera on the right. So simple and effective.

[@Corza]

Doing that little rigid body sim for the trash piles is such a good idea. I like that

[@kurisuchiinathecrocodile333]

Finally, a new wonderful video from you! Was checking your channel recently hoping for more - and here it comes. Great!

[@dustsky]

Outstanding work; every video you post is a treat! Also, a fitting and evocative soundtrack! Too many times with these types of videos, I end up muting the sound in annoyance.

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@MrJev]

Your work is really incredible, I could watch this for hours it's truly mind blowing. If I was you there would have been so many moments where I would have lost motivation and settled with what it was, but the fact that you keep going and think of all the smallest details is what brings your art to life. Amazing work man I have mad respect for you

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks a lot)

[@omarttt]

You always inspire me, and your work is really amazing! keep going man.

[@jaydonwinger9869]

I just spent a total of 12 hours in blender and unreal engine trying to build and animate my cat game and I finally got it to work. Yet I still don't feel any pain watching this video, that's how easy you made it look.

[@lupazxyz]

Wow, that's something i want to achieve one day!

[@aditya__7506]

U did all that in one go!!! ✨✨ Amazing art!! I love your work.

[@manmadeartists]

Right now i am working on sth similar but as i am not an expert in environmental design I often struggle to stay motivated. Watching your workflow really encourages me to keep on working! Thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏻

[@renzesparza6281]

I love this, it turned out great. Also very cool method for making the debris

[@kewa_design]

Incredible work, im totally blown away by the end Result but also by the whole process. Keep it up❤ this is one of your best works so far😮

[@harshitrao8729]

i love how detailed the roadside is but buildings doesn't even have their windows broken! great work btw!

[@ChrisCasanada]

Subbed! Amazing work. The atmosphere is just insane! Would love to see a breakdown vid of this, specially the techniques you demonstrated on this. A whole lot of follow-up video you can create from this masterpiece alone! The kinks and rock chipped off of the bridge, the trees, ivy gens, the proper lighting, brooo, a lot! Great work!

[@vinnypassmore5657]

So nice to watch a pro at work, wonderful stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@rajendrameena150]

I realized how insanely I am sticking to this content. Literally, I was missing something about environment creation that this channel fulfilled me.

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@jenniferstam7565]

You make it seems so easy. Great work!

[@ritishsuneja930]

This was lovely! Beautiful mate :)

[@heydude994]

I am currently starting with blender, your work is simply amazing, it inspires me to keep practicing, I hope one day to reach your level and make such wonderful art.

[@ringtail5021]

finally a time lapse that shows the final result. great work

[@parallax_cgi]

Ahhhh you hit me with the thing I was expecting 🔥❤️

[@frostbyte_fps]

Fantastic Video, always get so inspired watching videos as good as these.

[@cliq7513]

[@LightArchitect]

It looks amazing! Love the attention to detail.

[@squdee_tm3611]

[@Hermans86]

Wow. Beautiful work. Thanks for sharing!

[@savvysod8995]

Bro this is amazing! Genuinely fun to watch ur process. Got a new subscriber out of me. The whole thing is a work of art.

[@markmilorov5087]

Wow incredible work!! The attention to detail is out of this world

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@Efnol]

cant wait to start developing hands on, this has given me so much inspiration!

[@DreamSpyLiminal]

There are levels to this! Amazing video and skills.

[@TheAbsolutecad]

Amazing. Great workflow tips and a wonderful finished product

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@KeysPlays]

Awesome Work - and so chilling with the music :o

[@talhagamingplus92]

I appreciate your hard work. Result is amazing

[@kennys6741]

Me gustan mucho tus trabajos, felicidades, son muy buenos! Siempre dudé en aprender a utilizar Blender, sin duda tus trabajos son inspiradores y quizás me anime a intentarlo por mi mismo. Saludos desde Argentina!

[@benzzzoz]

Wow, lots of inspiration seeing this. I need to keep working.

[@ACS-Geronimo]

My God.. I wish I had a tenth of this creators skillset and gifts.. absolutely amazing

[@kanishkasagarsharma9651]

I'm a beginner in blender & have not made any set and don't have any idea how to create it from the scratch but your video helped me to get an idea to create this ...thank you a lot and keep inspiring me because I'm new to this industries

[@mastart4971]

Absolutely amazing. thank you for posting this....

[@anysousa3735]

that turned out fantastic

[@cptairwolf]

It's amazing to me that the actual game looks pretty much this good running at 60fps! That's quite an accomplishment.

[@MCDesign199]

Well to be fair, the Blender render engine just isn't really anything special. If you rendered this same scene out in Redshift, Vray, Octane, and especially Arnold, it'd look a further 3-4 times better.

[@mkaia47]

amazing result, keep it up!!

[@markgcarpio2656]

Superb! Really amazing! Respect for your dedication & patience.😍

[@balajis7937]

wow, Very detailed, thanks sir

[@aprasad014]

I'm more amazed by the number of resources and textures you have handled...

[@jiby91]

Amazing work as always !

[@hansjoergkrack]

Hammer. Absolut klasse.

[@ExOfficeZombie]

I will pay millions for an in depth narrated tutorial of this, i think this exercise covers almost all you need to know about blender

[@mipe7755]

I think you're not in a fraction aware of how much more you can achieve in Blender. I mean, no doubt this video covers an excellent work of environment design, but in Blender you can do so much more. You can sculpt, animate characters, sequence whole videos, add soundtracks, perform fluid simulations, prepare models for 3D printing and so much more...

[@mipe7755]

And fun fact, you don't need to pay millions. You can just follow some free basic courses here on YT, cuz really, he's mostly using basic techniques. Maybe only particle systems and ivy generation I would consider semi-advanced.

[@DrowZiiT]

Amazing work, you deserve more views and subscribers !

[@krissosful]

Fantastic work, keep going👏👏

[@AgenteZebro]

outstanding work, congrats man

[@Mnxeu]

The fact that people are this talented genuinely blows my mind.

[@dungeonmaster217]

You and Ian Hubert brought back my interest to 3D.

[@flipityflop4366]

its been a while since i watched one of your videos, and im glad im back

[@pier-oliviermartel713]

Great job man!!! I really want to see more of this! Keep up the good work ;)

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@ahsanulturzo7783]

Hi! I'm a huge fan of c4d, But this channel made me learn blender with more interest. Thanks for the amazing works

[@AllThingsFilm1]

Amazing artwork. I am just starting to scratch the surface of Blender. Seeing work like this inspires me to push forward. I used Modo for many years. But, since they switched to annual licensing I decided to move to Blender. I still have an older version of Modo that I play with. But, I'd rather start over with Blender knowing I can keep going. Thanks for the inspiration.

[@KaVQ-artist]

Отлично получилось, Максим!!!

[@WonderCraft1]

Oh my friend, your videos are inspiring in every way.

[@qerryedits]

Beautiful as always 🔥

[@SirMaxiimus]

These are so inspiring! I love your previous works, especially the Minas Tirith one. I'd like to learn to do these kind of environmental concept art, and I've been trying to study your workflow. Any tips on a good workflow for these environments? Keep it up!

[@otaviocaetano9997]

I just witnessed the creation of something beautiful

[@rivchapter]

amazing ability. I learn from you, thank you.

[@EinsteiniumMC]

Hey, you are awesome! I started learning blender yesterday, hopefully I can be as good as you one day.

Tip: when you add fungus on pillar/column, also add "spores" (green gas with particles). Beautifully crafted,

big fan for your works bro

[@CryptowithRico]

I love Blender and I wish that I had an interest in this stuff when I was sixteen. It's never too late to start a new hobby but it will take years of practise for me to be able to comfortably work with this program. Unfortunately I don't have the time in my life right now. Watching stuff get designed like this is really therapeutic for me.

[@Crunchy_Punch]

I started at 3D design at the age of 35, 3 years ago. Started a new piece every few weeks, and fell off the wagon a year ago after life got too busy. I started again 3 weeks ago and have already made some of my best stuff, recreating my very first character piece but 100x better, It takes work, but if you put in even a little amount of time over a steady period it will begin to click. You just need to supplement it by watching the right tutorials.
