He somehow makes these videos 20 minutes, then I follow along, and 3 hours later I have something that looks ok.

[@AdityaSharma-lk5eu]

Sameeeeeeeeee brooooo

[@th3doorMatt]

That's actually my gripe with this. His content is not necessarily "advanced" for someone who has been using Blender for a good amount of time, but considering it's called a "Tutorial," the pace at which he goes is basically like real-time for him with no concern given to the audience and for us it feels like a time lapse because like every two to three seconds you're pausing to try to recreate the thing he just did with shortcuts and super, super quick. When you have to go frame by frame to figure out what just happened, it sort of moves away from being a "tutorial" and into just an exhibition.

[@connor5422]

@@th3doorMatt he plans this out. this is the best take of multiple runs. he has to fuck around to find this kind of design and something he wants to put out as content.

[@th3doorMatt]

@@connor5422 I feel like those are conflicting statements. He fucks around, but it's planned out... Whether or not it takes multiple runs doesn't detract from my original statement that if this is supposed to be a "tutorial" then it *should* be planned out and go at a pace which is a bit slower and more explanatory. Because yeah, this does just feel like a run through of him making something, which is cool for a showcase/exhibition video, but if you're going to call it a tutorial, then things should be dialed way, way back for those who are actually here to learn from a more beginner's perspective and not just admire as fellow intermediate/expert users of Blender.

[@connor5422]

@@th3doorMatt He fucks around PRIOR to making the tutorial of THIS, the final FUCK AROUND result. It's not a beginner guide, but it's definitely not just 20 minutes of on the spot thinking like the video suggests.

Ducky's computer rendering this in a few seconds perfectly fine: My computer: "Don't even think about it"

[@advaith_31]

Lol same for me😂

[@malte6824]

the whole animation ( 120 frames in my case) took 18 Hours on my laptop to render, and im already impressed by that

[@AzwadAbid]

What GPU are you using?

[@KR4FTW3RK]

The performance jump from a normal GPU or CPU render to Cycles with OptiX (using a NVidia RTX card) is just insane. I have a 2070 Super and it runs rings around my 48-core server.

[@husky154]

I feel you, my computer crashed just rendering a test image with a Radeon 5500 XT, plus mind didn't even look the same even when following everything to a T. I guess you have to have a really high end graphics card for this.

[@ButtercupVisuals]

Damn, the particle system makes the final Render looks so dope!

[@justanormalinvestigator2640]

Yeah. A reason I love blender.

[@thetechadventure8228]

I tried doing this as my first blender animation and i was stuck at making the cube transparent XD, but after about 2 months of blender, I easily made this!

[@pielawn6337]

This is my second blender tutorial after the donut one... very steep jump in pace.. lol

[@_manu_yt]

@@pielawn6337 How is it going?

[@ewanicorn8969]

If your render background color is gray and the whole scene just looks grainy in render mode, follow these steps: - Render properties > Sampling > Denoising > Check box next to Viewport (leave it on automatic or if you have an Nvidia card, use OptiX). This should get rid of the grainy look. - World properties > Surface > Color: choose black. This will change the render background color to black as seen in the video. Great tutorial, by the way! Hope this helps anyone in need! :)

Why does Blender crash when I turn on OptiX. I have an RTX 2060

[@ewanicorn8969]

@@jason401. Hmmm, that's weird. I have the same card, and it never crashes with Blender 2.9. I recently started using the beta version of Blender 3.0, and that did crash on me a few times though. What version are you using?

Damn, this guy is quality, likes all of his comments, and has awesome content. Definitely deserves more subs.

[@TheDucky3D]

Thank you man!

[@hellrider1807]

The great thing about your tutorials is, that they use repetitive techniques. And that is a quit good thing, because once you have watched and build along some of your tutorials you already know the steps for, 4 example, setting up an ambient cube or how to play with the roughness which makes you way more aware to other things going on, such as complex shapes etc. I have been working with your tutorials for a while now and I must admit, they are damn good and very very helpful Thanks duck.

For anybody who's transparency isn't working correctly, try going into Render > Light Paths and Turning up Total to 3-5 and increasing Transparency and Transmission.

if anyone's having trouble with the first cube transparency make sure under your scene settings you have noise threshold and denoise checked for both your viewport and render options (scene > sampling > * viewport) (scene > sampling > * render)

[@WeddingfilmsinfraserValley]

Newby with Blender here. Not knowing why I am doing any of the steps in this tutorial makes it very impractical to use on personal projects. It is cool to just copy, but would be far more beneficial to learn why each step is being completed, and what each action accomplishes. This all went right over my head as far as learning goes. Easy is definitely the wrong adjective in my case. It would be cool if you could create a playlist of all your tutorials and listed in a way as to allow us to know which ones to watch in what order for the most educational impact.

[@jcbismark]

Great tutorial! Just hit render for the animation... can't wait! Thanks Ducky!

[@squash_goulash5079]

hey man i hope you can helkp me out, I am very new to blender and I have a question whenever I add the texture coordinate with the mapping, noise texture and colorramp to the roughness of the principled BSDF my cube isnt transparent anymore. i cant really figure out why.... also when ducky turns the scene lights and world of its really dark. form me its prety light even when i remove the light that spawns in every new project. I have been stuck at this phase for 2 hours now jsut messing with settings en remaking everything but it seems like it doesnt change anything. Do you maybe know whats causing this?

[@jcbismark]

@@squash_goulash5079 hey, I'm pretty new to blender myself, so I'm not quite sure what the issue might be! Make sure your initial material is set up exactly the same and maybe you just need to take the Blend down in the Layer Weight node? I had to make mine super low at like 0.1 or 0.2. As for how dark the world is, if you go to the world setting on the right side of the screen, you can change the colour from default grey to black, i had to do that (not sure if it's just like that for newer versions of blender)

One clown has a similar animation but with a more metal-ish looking cube. It bounces of/roley the floor and "sparks" on impact. Your scene looks just like his lighting and texturing wise. So your work reminded me of this wicked piece...maybe you created it?! In that case, just give me a secret sign, like a cough. Ok, maybe not a couh during these corona days, ftw!

[@TheDucky3D]

@@TheDucky3D please dont mind the video itself or it's topic. Its just the intro, 5 seconds long or so. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZeWcop7ebuIeJY I really liked it and I liked your work. If you then keep in mind what Mr.Kramer taught us, that "everyone loves sparkes" its clear what you could add to your already nice scene. Wait, what? Everyone loves lense flares not sparks?!?

[@xxinceptorxx2848]

FOR ALL YOU HAVING GRAIN/ PIXALS: go into render properties and select denoising, check mark the render one and select openimagedenoise. Also if you want to work live like he is check mark viewport (while not in rendered mode or may crash)

[@BuilderBob04]

Really satisfying tutorial indeed. I liked the pace and it was easy to keep up. Does anyone have some ideas on how to speed up the rendering process? I reduced the resolution down to 1280 by 720, with 200 sampling, but the rendering still took me more than a few hours on a GTX 2060S and Ryzen 7. Either way, I feel a bit inspired and want play around a bit with this and some other objects, so a big thank you for taking the time in preparing this tutorial and sharing it :)
