How I Created the Universe in 10 Minutes | Blender Tutorial

[@amazedremx]

a few beginner tips here. Make sure if your trying to follow the tutorial directly you need to have your cube the same scale. his in the video is 100x100x100 if you have it much smaller it will be transparent and weird. also start with the principled bsdf then delete the principled node and add the volume node that way. that fixed my problems.

[@steam_station]

To addon to this, make sure your render engine is cycles, and you dont have to worry about any of the principled bsdf stuff. Was having trouble with this too lol

I love how you don't explain anything what so ever and just blaze through the video. I love being confused and going down endless rabbit holes trying to figure out what people are doing.

[@webtron44]

My favorite aspect of CG Geek is how destructive these videos are to my schedule. I'll be doing well with my work & projects then BOOM there's some crazy video like this and everything comes to a stop while I obsess over trying to recreate whatever this guy throws out there. Too cool. Valuable content.

easy trick to animate the nebula: Go inside any Noise node and change the last Noise texture to 4D instead of 3D. Animate it with W value.

Great work! This is the exact method I used to make my videos. I just increased the quality (and render time) by a factor of 100.

2:35 Can someone help me in telling me how he brought a single "noise 2" node. I downloaded the noise pack and copy pasted the node setup, but I'm not sure how to do what he did with the cloud formation now.

[@kevinmos6s573]

Go to ''File'' in the top left corner and then click on "append"

[@WaterShowsProd]

Those images are stunning. Who would have imagined that a Dell laptop would ever outcompete a Threadripper! I'll be curious to see what video you've posted when I wake up from this bizarre dream.

[@jojito08]

I think he is comparing CPU to RTX video cards (just for the sake of advertising the laptop). I would use always GPU for my renders (mine is an ASUS ROG STRIX RTX 3090 24gb)...and I also have a 3790X 32 core threadripper... and 120gb ram. Peace.

[@Mr_Frequency]

Well he's handicapping his desktop by comparing laptop GPU to his desktop CPU. Kind of like saying a highschool tuba player is better at playing tuba than a London Philharmonic conductor.

[@zemiak341]

Help! I cant figure out how to get the Noise 2 at 2:30 working. I dont know what node he used and I downloaded a .blend file meaning I could not import it. When I plug in the priciple volume to the volume the cube turns invisible.

[@ontheway9673]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWqUgH6cmrqHaZY U can reference this video and the way it import the noise pack, pull the blender file into the blender file u are working in press “append…..” , then pick noise 2 instead.

[@coltencassidy8970]

I’m not getting those thick whisps. My clouds are just thin whisps that just looks like a cube of smoke. I’m not getting those formations no matter what settings I change

[@Carlos-ux7gv]

I think the initial cube size matters a lot when copying his settings. He is scalling by 50, so the cube is 100 x 100 x 100 meters.

[@doze3705]

Curious to learn if you can somehow manually displace the volumetric noise, to help sculpt or adjust the form of the gas clouds.

[@ethanbridglal2203]

You can use shape keys and manually animate the mesh then apply the shader.

[@cosmicarts21]

@asooo according to how you use it. for realistic renders, it takes a bunch of setups but many people can do it. Blenderguru has something about Arch-viz in Eevee, but personally I prefer it for non-realistic stuff. I use it for comic-cartoon style and let me tell you it looks quite great too.

How did you import one of those noise textures from Simon Thomas into Blender? I wish that was included in the tutorial.

[@Dxsgusted]

Once you download the file, open the blend you wanna use the nodes in, drag the blend file into the blend youre working on, click append, go to nodetree, and click the append node

[@zadilinko]

or you can just copypaste the object from the Node file into your project and from there just copypcaste the nodes of one material, into the other one, and hide/delete the object. As usual, I bet there's even more ways to do it
