[NEW] How to create GLOW Block design [GD]

[@SirHadoken]

Neat, although personally I think it looks way cleaner without the stars and bricks. As a general rule of thumb, the more blending you use, the less variety there should be in your objects. Unintended overlap with blending can get really messy really fast.

[@pipintheapple3212]

100% agree with you, If I remade this I'd improve the block structure, add hue, use a black base and connectors/more interesting things inside the block, tiered glow etc. and it sort of bugs me that this got popular because I don't think this is feature-worthy anymore and a lot of people are (rightfully) annoyed at the misleading title. Thanks for your compliment though, and thanks for being nice about it :)

[@azonix7200]

Im litrally crying right now, because there are Ytbers who make Tutorials, after 2018, thx man, ure doing a great job, pls make more tutorials, i would wish that u could make one with Level Details that ure Level doesnt seem Empty

[@six-slime]

boy do i miss the days where you didnt have to spend 5 minutes for 1 second of a level.

[@Ian098]

Lol

[@m1nt_100]

autobuild could return those days

[@cocoafox]

honestly tho 5 minutes for 1 second is nothing, at that rate you could have an entire "long" level built from scratch in 5 hours which is RIDICULOUSLY fast... even a generic, mediocre level would be expected to take 10-15 hours, and the best levels often take many, many months of dedicated work

[@MrPatrickbuit]

@@cocoafox That's the issue. Why does it have to take so much time to make a level that's accepted by the community? The standards are stupidly high these days. Of course I'm going along with it, but I just wish it wasn't this way.

[@cocoafox]

@@MrPatrickbuit i think it's kinda inevitable, given the circumstances. everyone has had the exact same editor tools at their disposal for over 3 years now, since 2.1 was released; there have been no new challenges or features to explore since then. the only thing people have been able to do is keep practicing and building, gradually getting better and better at using the tools of the game. as more people learn how to make better levels, the threshold of what defines a "good" level has nowhere to go but up

[@ldman538]

me : use a lot of time to design a thing result : 1 second a sh*t

[@fatherizyoa]

Viprin and paste

[@keedah]

this doesn't make sense why am I laughing

Check my profile "JustPip"... you might like the modern block design "trying modern" there :) | I've never made modern designs so its definitely not my best work, but I tried

Finally someone who uses bg colors! It annoys me so much to see tutorials for block designs that really suck to pulse and change color lol

[@krono8299]

I literally knew EVERYTHING about gd and how to create cool levels and everything but I haven’t played it in 1 year so I’m tryna get the hang of everything nowowowow

[@fredo8480]

Tip: Hold shift while pressing wasd to do the micro move on the edit page

[@photonbee1932]

as a glow creator myself, i can give a couple tip aswell. 1. make the design more interesting than just simple squares and rectangles, try adding sort of pipe shape or maybe add some slopes. 2. dont worry about the colours from the beginning too much, since you also pulse the objects black to give a similar effect than pulsing the colours. hopefully this helps at all.

[@Suketo_]

thank you!! this really helped me with making my level, been stuggling on how to add glow to the blocks for ages

[@marymason9146]

In my opinion, this is one of the best block designs in GD

[@marymason9146]

FREE ADVICE: The blending fits good but on the thick base, some spots are brighter than others. And the stars look a teeny tiny bit out place. (JK) Also if you do the rainbow effect with it, it will look incredible

[@viorangealgo]

this is only a simple glow design

[@deltalaiez]

Thank you. I didnt use your block design but this video gave me lots of inspiration for my levels. This truly helped alot! 👍

[@sterslo]

Bread Gamer This is very true, experimenting is one of the best things to do to get better, however time consuming. I’m gonna be honest here, I cringe looking back at some of these designs, but what is good about these tutorials is that they help people get familiar with the editor a little more.

[@GeckoGD]

you dont deserve those 7 dislikes! great video, new subscriber!

[@TheRealSpadeGD]

I wrote most of the instructions :P cuz nobody did it 1. Keep color 1 white and 2 black 2. The Next one color 3 tick the box which says copy color and the one that says blending if you background is add brightness +0.36 3. for next color copy step three but turn the opacity to 0.35 4. make the shape of the your block, then make a thick outline for it, set base color to "3" 5. on layer 2 create a base. In this design, the base doesn't matter that much as its very transparent so pick simple block 6. Start by adding color 3 glow (thick glow) in layer 3 add black fade from the bottom, start by adding the glow as shown. Then set this to layer T2 in edit group. 7. add color 3 glow around the outside. 8. Use decorative objects on layer 4, add them at the 90 degree corners in your shape, you can add them on the outside if you want

P.S. I'm working on a level and I will propably use this one block design as decoration. Good bye!
