I Made an Underwater Miniature World in Blender

[@DECODEDVFX]

Sorry if you're scared of sharks!

[@KevBinge]

That's a nice result and cool reveal after the animation. Well done!

[@Digipiction]

Very cool, I felt the tension when the shark appeared!

[@anarchodolly]

Reminded me of that J. G. Ballard novel, "Drowned World"; I was half expecting to see iguanas clinging to the walls at the surface level. Another inspiring wee project man. Good stuff.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks!

[@digital_well]

holly smokes maan. one of the best renders i've seen this year

[@GamerKhiladi]

It felt cery realistic. Very motivating video 👍🙏

[@lucasblaise]

There are so many little details to this. Amazing

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thank you. This one took a lot of work.

[@arvetis]

Great animation, spooky and sublime! I do have an audio pet peeve though - whales don't really sound like that in person. The stereotypical "whale sounds" are sped up considerably to move them into human hearing range.

[@mickbainbridge6863]

Fantastic!, loving the miniature worlds, Here's an Idea for one , Imagine the Titanic steaming across the ocean then you hear the famous words "Iceberg dead ahead" and as the camera zooms out it's in a glass on a bar and the iceberg is an ice cube?.

[@yassinmohammed5013]

Why don’t you make that? I believe you can do it

[@grinningb]

woo first. Keep up the great content man, I love to see it

[@DECODEDVFX]

Appreciate it!

[@zubabeats]

this dude NEVER MISSES dude lets collaborate plzzz

[@Gameboy-2000]

This is So Haaaard!

[@arjungowda6452]

Thank y ❤️ u

[@tristanos22]

Your work always amaze me, I like the animations and the tutorials as well!

[@robotronixgaming2933]

this looks amazing at 0:44 you can see a starfish pop in lol

[@cgpotato2365]

Beautiful!

[@bastert55]

this is insane, great work!

[@agyab_cg]

Like it ❤️

[@dzomlamasina1560]

Congratulations, how well you did this ... The impression is of loneliness in the water, fear, like some underground world and that there is no other life .. In the end, the camera shows everything and the little world, and I felt so small while diving in so much depth

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks!

[@Tattman]

Woah, Great job man 🙏🙏👍👍👍👍👍😁😁

[@mahabbat1960]

Super cool!

[@BOSSdesigns]

awesome efforts .. pravooooo

[@SaucemanSauceman]

Neat! Learned quite a bit!

[@venox314]

One of the best blender channels out there man! Keep doing your thing really enjoying your content

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks, will do!

[@markus_blend16]

This looks like an opening introduction to a tv series or a movie, damn!

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thank you!

[@planet_babylon]

Awesome. Thank you. Would love to hear more indepth about the creation of this.

[@therealcaydonrascoe]

Reminds me of water world movie

[@Caesars3DWorld]

awesome

[@kryeyingface5365]

The animation looked great! I'm inspired- good job. I'm a blender scrub.

[@WaterShowsProd]

I enjoy these little journeys through 3-D creation that you do. I've never seen one of those post-apocolyptic dioramas before. Pretty funny really. I guess snowglobes are considered naïve these days. 😂🦈

[@antoabishek6716]

Amazing work!! Maybe adding bubble underwater would have added more to realism but super solid work:)

[@mr_arc_mrc]

🔥Awesome 👌

[@jamescampionn]

lmao at 0:18 you can see a fishe casually swim thru the fridge

[@DECODEDVFX]

Yeah, the fish had a collision rule, but they didn't follow it very well.

[@jamescampionn]

@@DECODEDVFX he just knows secrets we don’t

[@ashtyler8]

Nice stuff! Hey could you do another video on topology in the sort of near future? Like a continuation of your "Change Your Understanding of Topology In Six Minutes"?? That was an awesome video but really would love if you done a more in depth video of it, something longer than 6 mintues :) Like putting that topology knowledge in how you actually implement it when modeling something a bit complicated? & showing us how to use that to get good edge flow etc? Appreciate your time & vidz, thanks Decoded!

[@unicornhuntercg]

You should've used a volume absorption shader too

[@DECODEDVFX]

I tried adding absorption but it zapped too much light out of the scene during the interior section.

[@unicornhuntercg]

@@DECODEDVFX Ah yeah, the key is to mix it with principled volume BSDF and play with the density of both. the color value of the absorption is also a factor.

[@bobobot0]

Amazing, except for the shark

[@bcut5656]

render eevee or cycles?

[@icedriver2207]

Just curious why you went to so much trouble to rig the shark when a lattice would have probably got the same effect.

[@DECODEDVFX]

It wasn't a lot of work. The rigify addon supplied the rig, I just had to skin it to the mesh.

[@icedriver2207]

@@DECODEDVFX I was just curious.

[@MarinusMakesStuff]

Nice work, and all I'm trying to do is attach a rubber band to a piece of cloth for six hours hahaha! (and failing)

[@gwynbleidd9000]

ok cool video, but calm down with these sponsorships. you dont have to reapet how great the laptop is every fucking second

[@delecio]

Nice tutorial, but it’s riffing so hard off Ian Hubert’s work and techniques - albeit without some of the magic. Either give him a shout out, or maybe work a bit harder on developing your own groove.

[@DECODEDVFX]

I'm not really sure what you mean, to be honest. I can't think of any piece of Ian's work that looks remotely like this.

[@aaronsmith2370]

I don't see how this is anything like Ian's work. This seems like a normal workflow for a quick render. Just because it's got some cut corners doesn't mean it's copying, everyone does that when they can.

[@unicornhuntercg]

Your fishes are too stiff
