was adaptive subdivision always there? nvr seen it !

[@beachball1670]

Awesome animation you made! Love it! Can I please feature that short animaltion in my upcoming video? I would fully credit you of course.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Yes, that's fine by me.

[@DECODEDVFX]

adaptive subdiv has existed for at least five years in blender.

[@keshavbhandari5283]

@@DECODEDVFX Is thre a way I can download this entire blender file?

[@TheVolgun]

You create such quality projects - I really hope some day I can create this kind of quality of work. I learn something new every time I watch one of your videos! - looking forward to the next one!

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks a lot!

[@immineal]

Didn't know you were using Blender as well!

[@JustAlfy]

I was not expecting to find Volgun here. A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one

[@lettersforbreanna9455]

WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE VOLGUN

[@Simulator51]

Doctor, you really need to get back to class. We have 6 groups of researchers who require briefing on the latest SCPs.

[@mikapeltokorpi7671]

This is exactly something I have planned to do long time. With my own twist, naturally. I Drew lot of these mini worlds in my teens ... 30 odd years ago.

[@____-gy5mq]

would love to see some of them

[@mrupsidedown9879]

Do it

[@Bakamoichigei]

It would be so cool to have like a whole gallery of these spheres in a VR space! 🤩 This sort of thing would also make for superb content on a lightfield display, like a Looking Glass Portrait. The true 21st century snow globe! 😁

[@Cyber_Kriss]

Why people dislike this kind of excellent tutorials, is above my head...

[@mxz2024]

Basically this is not a tutorial, since it is so fast. It is just a quick explanation 😅

[@mxz2024]

@Bernard na thsts annoyung because the comments will be also in slow motion and you can't understand a word. If you need to pause 100000x it is also veryy annoying. Thatd not hoe tutorials work. And it is not vlaimed as a tutorial also. The real tutorials are on his patreon as far as I know. Which is good.

[@Cyber_Kriss]

@@mxz2024 Yeah it's more like a workflow, but once you will be more seasoned you will understand with these short explanations.

[@cactustactics]

Aww this looks great, you should definitely do more! I feel like there's potential for some fun stuff where the world is sliced too - like with the roots, but being able to see what's going on under the main scene (like a pipe with a critter poking their head out, or a whole other room)

[@AceSeptre]

I've always wanted to do this. One of my biggest shortcomings as a 3D artist is dealing with extraneous space. But, if you constrain that space artificially then you don't even have to worry about it. Awhile back I did a path that looped around a sphere with a bridge at the top but the issue was adding anything square (like a house) requires the geometry conform to the radius of the sphere. I can do that no problem, but in order for the "bent" house to feel like it was in the scene would have required stylized/painterly textures which I'm not good at.

[@garyamorris]

Yes! Love to see more miniature worlds.

[@NICK....]

Fun fact: Changing a value while holding alt will change the same value on all selected objects

[@js7539]

Fun fact: I need this info desperately. Thanks

[@3DGraphicsFun]

ABSOULTELY STUNNING!!! Miniature Worlds are just out of this world so very cool!!! 👍👍👍

[@foolsanticsstudio]

Man you make stuff way different than I do. It’s refreshing. A lot of times I get in my head about how I’m suppose to got about making something when really there’s hundreds of ways of doing it.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Yeah, that's half the fun. There's a million ways to make the same thing

[@jeffersonmiller]

I'd love to see a Blade Runner-esque miniature world. Moody, slice of life, neon signs and markets and a stray cat or something and rain and all that.

[@ovrxpsd]

this is such a good idea. i’d love to see this as well.

[@TheBleuakuma]

Thad be sicc af!

[@arthurrichards3951]

Tgis would be sweet

[@j5892000]

Me too!

[@otherworlds9677]

Absolutely!

[@antmatter1183]

Cool idea - I think using a much shallower Depth of Field would really make them even better

[@LG141602]

I used to do this when I was a kid at 4 years old. I would make islands in the water and decorate them with houses, roads, rivers, bridges etc. I have to master blender asap.

[@NidonocuPoisonBunny]

Both the end product for this was super lovely and a broad overview of multiple techniques needed to achieve different effects was super useful. Even if you don't go into detail, providing like you did enough info to go and research more in depth is really good! Hope to see more of these!

[@jamesveitch]

Brilliant.

[@Palthura]

Fancy seeing you here! Didn’t know you were a blender nerd as well!

[@smarter_in_5_mins]

But too few ducks :-)

[@schemeny]

Are you selling gold?

[@SirTomFoolery]

Hey James, can I get one of those ducks...

[@rudrasingh6354]

Never in a 100 years would I have expected to see you here

[@TheInternetIsDeadToMe]

I feel like there is something going on in the brain at a level similar to ASMR for me. I find is something aesthetically pleasing at a deep level when something is small and contained. When I was younger I used to make little biome jars with bugs in. This type of are really scratches an itch. Great work btw.

[@sunnaroe7039]

I’m just sayin 😭I consider work at this level Godly.That’s all I can think of being new to blender.This video shows me I can take anything on my mind and literally make it in hd.Salute 💯

[@DECODEDVFX]

It's just a matter of practice.

[@f1lip797]

Thats what I thought at first also, but it really isnt that difficult if you do it few times. I had to make a car in blender for my school and that was my 3rd or 4th model and the ones before that were reaaally simple like a table, flower pot etc and I thought it would be impossible and the 1st one was really bad, but I made the 2nd one and it wasnt that bad so just believe in yourself, practice, if you make a mistake fix it immediately, search for it on the internet or they will just build up and your model will look not as good. Good luck!

[@Erindale]

Damn these new animation and scattering options in Botaniq are crazy! Definitely need to grab the update!

[@KC-op4ke]

Wow as someone who has yet to make a realistic doughnut in blender, it's a pleasure to watch a blender guru work.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thank you!

[@poweranimationsgaming370]

The dedication for the smaller details like the door is super impressive

[@nightblade178]

It looks incredibly sunny for that amount of rainfall

[@DECODEDVFX]

It's a summer shower.

[@paulforester6996]

I had daydreams of doing this to some of my twisted up dreams, I just don't have the time to learn these tools. I have respect to those that do. I remember early Ray traced still images that took a month to render. Back then, I didn't have the patience to wait that long for one image, but I like what they did. I like that I got to see it evolve over the years. Thanks for your video.

[@jonathansgarden9128]

I’ve been following you since your bubbly beer on a table tutorial. You have gotten better and better and I’m learning so much!

[@bastert55]

i love the way this turned out, looks absolutly sick!

[@justinwmusic]

I haven't done 3d modeling and animation since the days of 3DSMax with a math co-processor, so the efficiency of this process is blowing my f**king mind

[@1982Jonte]

Watched everything now, and it is a true gold mine of tips and trix! More small worlds please!

[@zana3d]

Absolute gold! I enjoyed this immensely. More mini-worlds, please!

[@bsherman8236]

I'm a big fan of dioramas and miniatures, really inspiring to see your work.

[@reilophonix3279]

Thats exactly what i want to learn. Nice to see that it exist.

[@VirtualSteven]

Watched the whole video. Amazing. I really enjoyed the quick explanations of how each part was done. Blender and it's users are so amazing.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@toontonic]

Have a few of these "miniature world's" on Steam wallpaper engine, I just can't get enough of them either.....though I haven't gone this deep down the rabbit hole before. Whoever makes them for steam.....thank you 👍

[@Rob_TheOne]

I started using blender before it was cool! I'm so glad it servived and continue to grow.

[@24Kev]

you should make a whole universe of these. Very cool looking and creative!

[@lukeevans8411]

Really impressed man! Love your work! So excited every time I see that you’ve posted a video

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thank you Luke!

[@Christian-cw9mp]

Love this. I want to create 5 acre vineyards, Large tree orchards, meadows with a single oak tree atop a hill with a tire swing and a pond, etc. This is a perfect way to display them.

[@FreePerc2k]

I like the way you did things, I like the Musgrave node setup for the added moss, I'm gonna have to figure this out

[@uNhlanhlakaSithole]

I know nothing of this. I'll never do this. But man I love watching skilled people do their thing. This is great. I also have a unhealthy love for rural British homes

[@imclueless5744]

This is basically what I wanted to learn Blender for! I'm excited to try this out :D

[@DECODEDVFX]

I'll definitely be making more of these. It was loads of fun.

@@ruppert5134 very cool. It feels like the opening cut scene of a retro PC game.

[@ruppert5134]

@@DECODEDVFX Thx but compared to your mini world it is a little bland. I dressed it up with a wall ....I think I am a little to impatient to put as much work in it as you. ;-) I have already subscribed and even set the notifications ...now I know why ....

[@jakov1353]

You should absolutely do a full youtube series on this scene, it has such an awesome bit of everything in there from modelling to texturing, rigging and animation it would be perfect for a series. Would love if you did it and explained some of this step by step, think it would help a lot of people make better art.

[@YoursTruelyMe2]

There is some inherent beauty in small worlds. Great work, this is amazing.

[@trendingverge]

Can’t wait to turn this into my dream game thank you so much.

[@ev3400]

This was actualy more interesting than I originaly thought this would. Thanks man ! You can absolutly make more of these ;)

[@redcreed_]

I think it would look even better with some roots dangling down of the chunk of land, and maybe some dirt crumbling off

[@SnappyDiagram]

I don't know anything about blender, but I just subbed because this video was so interesting. I might delve deeper.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Awesome, thank you!

[@snailone6358]

Really nice. When I see the low sun and the rain I somehow feel like the render could include a rainbow :)

[@rbettsx]

My thoughts exactly, and a nice little challenge, to choose a method, so it always faces you.

[@biggiecheese5255]

This is amazing. I would love to see more of these small world spheres

[@masotomato4507]

This is so sick man, havn't seen anything like this before in 3D software and it came out super well.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks.

[@TheMonsterVince]

This brings hope to my childhood dream of having little worlds in my pocket. The older I got the more I realized it is possible to create such worlds, but what is still missing is that the individuals living in these worlds behave on their own "will" so to say, so they can develop things, do things that are unexpected and can change the environment, cities and so on, and all you do is you look at them or maybe guide them. Thought about this as a mix of sims, anno and so on with a cool visualization and graphics like yours. So everyone can "build" a little world, give the world specific attributes and conditions and then the world develops on its own and you can look at it, but you cannot destroy it or harm them, you can only help them with little things. I guess this would require some highly developed AI software for the individuals to do random stuff on their own, but I think it will be possible in the near future

[@PaulCole-71]

Wow, looks stunning. I'm a blender dabbler, this has inspired me to try some new stuff.

[@JaxDagger]

This is JUST what i needed, i've been creating an entire city bit by bit over the course of this year when ive had free time and honestly, i have always been interested in this kind of thing, be it gaming or just general world creation, i never got into minecraft do to the visual limitiations, blender has now taken over my life lol

[@SeverSFSs]

Fantastic work. I feel like this would look really great with a outer space background like a mini planet floating alone in the universe

[@TriSutrisnowapu]

This is the first time I saw your video and I just can't hit the skip button.. apart from the very high quality of 3d animation, you present the video very well done..

[@DECODEDVFX]

Wow, thanks!

[@extendedblundering]

Very cool, you've inspired me to download and take a bit of time exploring blender see what I can accomplish! Keep the vids coming bro it was zen

[@darkcognitive]

These are great, so many little techniques to glean from this as well. One thing i think would have looked cool on this specific render, is a small amount of volumetric fog sitting on the surface of the pond, just to give it that rainy gloomy morning feel. It would also be interesting to experiment with the tilt shift technique to further enhance the miniature feel, although i personally have no idea how thats done or if its suitable for this kind of shot. Very cool stuff though, I learned a lot and cant wait to see more!

[@joshj1420]

love the mini worlds concept! very cool!

[@OneWeb3]

Oh and I just love your work and videos, smooth, easy to listen to and so into details I looove it brother keep it up!

I love the level of detail you go into here. It's perfect for my level of ability. I know it's G to grab. Just learning the tools you used is enough for me to figure out how to apply and tweak them. :-) Thanks!

I bet it’s relatively easy to 3D print something like this and then cast it in a resin or glass sphere. This would look so cool in snow globe type production because it could potentially be much more detailed and realistic than most have been
