Create a Galaxy in Blender - Iridesium

[@DaveAcosta]

If you had problems with it like me at the very beginning, try this: in the gradient texture node, put it on spherical. put the texture coordinate node from object to vector, by default it's from uv to vector, so it's possible you don't see anything changing.

[@richardcastonguay4423]

Thank you so much, David. If your note was not here, I probably would not have gone on. Although this guy has some cool stuff he's making, he's not thorough enough in his instruction.

I love that the logo animation is different on each video and each time it manages to give the logo a sense of epicness that generations of gaming youtubers attempted and failed for years

[@CapnCant]

"so im going to set this back to 0.6... " *next frame shows it as 1.0 at the edge of the screen* 12:38 for those wondering. not to mention immedietely after that you begin talking about the noise texture without mentioning that you changed it to 4D, changed the scale, changed the power node, AND changed the z scale on the mapping node that comes before the gradient texture.

[@Pavel-wj7gy]

Not to mention that he had spent 3/4 of the video length before painting the particles while talking about some "details", lmao. I don't know about you, but if I were to talk about details, I would paint it first. But in this process things are just perfectly aligned - everything works on the first try.

[@mrdol]

oh man, I went thru like 5 different techniques today and yours is by far the MVP. Thank you for sharing. Def. worth a sub!

[@mrtrigger2016]

If you're having trouble at 10:15, on the texture coordinate node, plug object into vector on the mapping node instead of generated and swap the black and white color stops on the color ramp connected to Voronoi texture

[@2k7u]

Actually the data was stored in a server and in this guy's computer both are very probably on the surface of Earth so in theory its actually not out of this world however if someone watches this videos over 4g it is likely that eventually the data will reach outer space using electromagnetic waves now it is truly out of this world, in the case some advanced alien civilization comes across the data and decide to decrypt it instead of assuming it is background space radiation, the data will not only be out of this world; it will also be multi-civilizational edit: We do a little trolling

I went to go look up a tutorial for this just to see what it would look like and it was already on my reccomanded lol, great job!

[@DEADEYESTUDIO]

i used to hate nodes and how complex and tedious they are to set up, but seeing the endless things you can do with nodes, im starting to like them.

[@Iridesium]

Yes! Nodes can be a little terrifying at first but they are so worth it!

[@gutozardy]

This tutorial is amazing, but like in other Iridesium tutorials, everything is so fast and rushed, many parameters are changed and he doesn´t tell us about them. We need to pay attention , because some changed parameter can change the results too.

[@gustavstaugaard1294]

Sometimes he doesn't even show they change, they just do

Damnnn it's great! For closeups I recommend using branched path tracing to get more control over the volume's detail. Also the stars are great and could be rendered on another view layer to add glare on them.

[@aldemar9416]

I know you're going for a faster tutorial style which is fine I guess but I noticed you skipped over vital points that had me pausing and analyzing the video very closely till i realized you completely skipped over and cut out some parts that have a massive affect on the render, come on man. there lots of people that won't notice and will completely ruin the tutorial for them, giving you more dislikes

[@miura_vs]

The number of times he says one thing and does something completely different is infuriating. "Set this to .9" (Changes to .35). He also doesn't explain the why behind any of it, so no one is actually learning anything. No one will walk away from this video understanding how to create a galaxy. They'll have to come back and reference this video every time. Maybe that's what he wants. It's all about getting views, likes, subscribers, and comments like this these. No one actually cares if anyone learns anything anymore.

This is a positive critic - OK? Interesting video, but I had to stop at 12:19, as I cannot make anything work any more, as I also noticed the Camera Perspective also says (1) Collection, so I guess this is a separate collection added to this video where there is another clip-jump? I have seen quite a number of 'jumps and cuts' within the video that render very difficult to recreate... at least from a 'newbie' point of view. I followed every detail (including the data input 'correctly'). But, once in a while I found details changed without showing it on the video... (I kept checking - just in case I missed bits) maybe you lost clips of video? Well, nice... pity I could not finish it, I will have to look for another video then. I really would have liked to finish this one. Maybe a re-make of this video on Blender 3.6 ? - just a thought. 😎

Super inspiring stuff! I've wanted to make galaxies since seeing Burrel Durrant Hifle's work on the Wonders of the Universe series. This video has definitely inspired me to give it another crack, those are some very impressive results for such simple (efficient!) node setups. Thank you for posting!

[@firstdondiego]

WOW! What an epic intro. Lol

[@firstdondiego]

I always found it entertaining when blender KZbinrs make a tutorial and delete the default cube only to add a new cube. Lol

[@garrys-music]

This tutorial doesn't work with blender 3.0. i could fix some of the issues but not all. My result looks very different from yours. It's very hard to follow your tutorial, because you change a lot of things without showing or explaining them. - But I love your video because it gives me new inputs, how to handle shaders and nodes. Thanks for your work!!

cz he changed a lot of thinks but didint show it... need to find and see what he changed but didnt show. some guy write in coment(david acoste) what need to change find his comment and try to fix

Great Tutorial. just something i found a bit confusing till I realized, make sure to set texture coordinates to 'Object'

[@Fenrill06]

Beautiful creations! Just one point from an astronomical perspective: The stars you portray as being "within" the galaxy you are depicting are actually stars located in the observer's own galaxy. With the perspective (framing) you are adopting in your creation: No star from any galaxy would be sufficiently luminous to be visible from your standpoint. Perhaps with a zoom multiplied by a billion, captured by a professional photograph equipped with a sensor of several million billion pixels of resolution, after dozens of hours of exposure on a 30-meter diameter telescope... You might possibly discern 1 or 2 blurry and brownish pixels... But never a distinct bright point in the overall image... Without delving into details, it is crucial to understand that distances in the universe are literally astronomical ;)... The scales of distances are so enormous that they defy our capacity for representation... It's even more complex than trying to conceptualize the span of a human lifetime on the scale of the history of our planet. In summary, creating a mask of stars inspired by the shape of the galaxy to incorporate them solely within it is a scientific error ;) Either you are making your observation from the empty space between galaxies, and in that case, no star is visible... Or you are making your observation from another galaxy, and then the stars would be present throughout the image... Not only as an "overlay" on the galaxy you are depicting. ^_^

Haha, you made this the same day I made my best galaxy shader. Right now, it only applies to planes, I'm working on the volumetric version. Haha, "Simple UFO Model". My node setup for my galaxy shader is a lot more intense on the node quantity, but I grouped them all up into a simple modular and procedural setup, and I would even say my galaxies would be photorealistic.

[@CarpeUniversum]

[@jwills8822]

Nice video, thanks for making this! One suggestion would be to provide the full node tree as a download image(s) since the shader editor cannot show the entire node graph for review. Despite carefully following the steps there are often questions about what is being connected to what (when nodes are off screen) and reviewing via video is not always as easy as one would like.

From 3:05 to 3:10 several settings change without any mention and it makes following the tutorial impossible *Bros I am sorry, this was one of the hardest to follow and least helpful tutorials I've ever watched, and I've done everything from machine learning in Jupyter to Davinci Fusion to Unreal Engine, to advanced Photoshop and AfterEffects... I am relatively certain it is not me. At least a dozen times settings change with no reference to what's happening... " lets go ahead and do this" is not a good descriptor for people trying to follow a very complex workflow. Little to no idea what any of these dozens of nodes we're adding actually do... TLDR: I'd never give a thumbs down to a tutorial genuinely trying to help people. I just think people should know before the jump into this: If... IF... you want this level of detail (you don't need it to make a galaxy)... It should have been like 2 hours, not 20 minutes.

Neat video. Would love to see this with a semi-realistic differential rotation. So approximately constant velocity over the radius such that the angular velocity is faster in the center.

[@Bruh-zx2mc]

That would be if most of the mass of the galaxy was near the center, but that is not so.

[@spacebread501]

@@Bruh-zx2mc That is still the case with a dark matter halo. The velocity profile in that case is approximately flat outside the central bulge, which means that the angular velocity is still faster close to the center. Although less so than in the case where most mass is near the center. But still.

[@Bruh-zx2mc]

@@spacebread501 Isn't that what I just said?

[@spacebread501]

@@Bruh-zx2mc I dont think so. You at least implied that my first comment would only be true for a galaxy with most of its mass near its center. Not in an actually one with a spread out dark matter halo. While I in my second comment said that it is true even in the realistic case where the mass distribution is spread and less centered. You always have a higher angular velocity in the center. If you never doubted that, than I miss understood you, and I am not sure what you actually wanted to say.
