Fastest and Easiest way to create a Black Hole in Blender.

[@davidkohlmann]

I forgot something important. If you create the sphere for the black hole, go to edit mode, press Alt+N and "flip" the normals, otherwise the refraction goes wrong! Sorry for that.

[@listopad09]

Ay i got a problem, the accretion disk works yes, but the black hole dosent refract it, so i just have one small horizontal disk, and i don't have the vertical one, do you know how to fix? edit: nvm i figured it out

yoo if you add another mix shader, route the mix of the refraction and the glass into the first input, then create an emission and mix it into the other input you get some insane effects

route the mix shader from the video like this mix shader > mix shader "shader" (new stuff) layer weight > colorRamp(factor) > colorramp to emission color > mix shader color

The "circle" is a sphere scaled down the the z axis, to fake the hot material around the black hole. That doesnt affect the black hole shader it self. Did you flipped the normals of your black hole mesh? I pinned a comment to the toop, because i forgot to show this in the video.

[@davidkohlmann]

Hey, first you should use the latest blender version. Idk if the bsdf node is different in 2.8. Second if your disk is invisible, you probably should change the scale in the mapping node and/or apply the scale of the object. Third, you can add color to the disk, if you add color to the color ramp node, like i showed in this video. There are two other comments that asks for the exact hex code and i wrote it to them. Take a look to them, if you want to copy my colors. Have fun :)

Hi there, thank you for the black hole tutorial, it is a big help. I noticed that my accretion disk does not have the same swirl as yours, in fact mine is just very noisy. How did you manage to do that if you don't mind sharing?

[@davidkohlmann]

Maybe you have a different scale of the first mapping node? Or different scale of the first noise texture? That's the two key elements I would imagine can solve your problem. Also possible that you forgot to apply the scale of the disk? If not try to watch again to the shader, maybe you missed something.

[@Faber8004]

@@davidkohlmann thanks. I have triple checked everything and still no luck. How come you have a circle instead of a sphere for your disk? I noticed that in your video near the end. I am still using a sphere scaled up x3 and then z scaled down to 0.01. All your node settings match up. However your setup changes from sphere to circle. I wonder if that is the issue? - that is if you used a circle mesh to create your disk

[@davidkohlmann]

i used a sphere, like you said. The mapping node and the gradiant node are creating the disc shape with some "deph", because if you use a simple circle it won't look good. With the multiply and combine xyz node plugged into the mapping node rotation you create the swirl.

Hey I’ve tried twice and I can’t get the disk to work it’s just going invisible. Can you please help me

[@davidkohlmann]

What du you mean with invisible? The compete disk is not showing any information in your render tab? Or doesn't bend it around the black hole? If it's the second option, select your black hole, go to edit mode, select all, press "alt+n" and flip normals. I forgot to show this step in the video.

@@davidkohlmann nope the disk just doesn’t exist. I just used the black hole from this video and the disk from another. And Frankensteind it and it works

[@davidkohlmann]

What is the node name between mix rgb and combine xyz?

[@davidkohlmann]

It's a math node and set it to multiply

[@ganbeichineseinamharic7915]

why you don't show the colors u used

[@davidkohlmann]

I showed a screenshot of my shader. There you can see the colors too.

why background image is not showing in blender?

[@davidkohlmann]

If you want to show the HDRI background in your viewport, enable the checkbox "scene World" in your shading menu. Of course you need to set up an environment texture in your world properties first.

@@davidkohlmann thank you i got it but i cant get that gold colour around the black hole can you help me

[@davidkohlmann]

Position 0 = Hex: 000000 Position 0.25 = Hex: 6F492C Position 0.5 = Hex: 9E6F53 Position 0.75 = Hex: D99378 Position 1 = Hex: FFFFFF If you use this, you have the exact same colors like me. Just set up the color ramp like this.

@@davidkohlmann I set those exact colors at those exact positions but it doesn't glow like yours its just brown kinda im using blender 3.4 btw

[@davidkohlmann]

@@nyotahn "Glow" is made in the compositing with a "glare" node. switch it to fog glow and you are done.
