In this tutorial we create a deflector sheild using procedural materials. Let's jump into it!

[@acmtsing]

So, after all. Blender is about learning math. Your class is always helpful in a big way. Thanks!

[@Daniel-Six]

Quickly becoming my favorite Blender channel. So many clever tricks...

[@Alaz21]

The most awesome blender tutoring channel ...i really like it keep up..

[@CBaileyFilm]

Thank you so much 😀

[@resurrectedstarships]

PERFECT exactly what I needed!

[@Sque333]

Love all your videos! Learned so much. Just have to find the right video for your project, but you seem to have what I need.

[@KriGeta]

I think if we do some text and other stuff effects in blender I would use after effects less

[@kinjoyokai367]

Easy to understand and educational :D - as always. It helps to transfer the knowledge to other solutions.

[@catchen7253]

Sorry ,you didn't tell us how to get the key frame of the voronoi texture ?

[@djmnx01]

Great Tutorial - and so simply explained. I tried to purchase on Gumroad, but could not identify which of the options contained this project file? It doesn't behave the same on Blender 3.0 even with every setting identical to yours above.

[@danbreland3444]

This was Awesome!

[@rizwaanbaig7416]

That was sick! Is it possible if you could do a cloaking tutorial from Star Trek?

[@a_blue_chicken1093]

is it possible to have a particle system that shoots out the empties that trigger this effect? When I try it doesnt work. Probably because the particle is like a copy of the real empty, but the nodes are not applied on these copies.

[@CBaileyFilm]

Not really with this method. You could send the particle lasers at the sheild, make the sheild kill the particles and then hand animate the 1 empty moving back and forth around the sheild to fake it. It would work just as well most likely and be much easier to work with.

[@a_blue_chicken1093]

@@CBaileyFilm yea that was what I was thinking of too!

[@basuka9399]

@@a_blue_chicken1093 I don't know if you are still interested but you can still do it. You simply have to do the object then use it in the particle system and all the effects go through with it.

[@jmdanni]

Been trying to figure this out for so long being newer to blender there isn't a lot of tutorials for this. their are some geonode tutorials though could you incorporate that with the shaders?

[@count23all]

Will this method integrate with particles? Is there a way to drive the impact texture procedural using the same particles?

[@medafan53]

A quicker way to do the disappearing laser effect would probably just be a boolean modifier.

[@madrush35]

this was amazing thank you for posting this

[@gordonbrinkmann]

As you said, if you have a Color Ramp and you want to brighten it up without changing the color, there are a couple of ways to do that - you just forgot to mention the first and easiest method: in the Principled BSDF (just like in the Emission Shader) you have directly below the Emission Color a value for the Emission Strength. Just increase this and you don't have to plug in any other nodes or play with the vibrancy...

[@CBaileyFilm]

I know! I saw that as I was doing the edit. Hilarious. It's like I'm still back in blender 2.7 days haha

[@gordonbrinkmann]

@@CBaileyFilm If I'm trying to be mean I'd say, but 2.7 already had an Emission shader which has a strength input as well ;) Just kidding. What I'm missing in Blender is a way to fire particles at an object, make a collision detection and then show an effect or play an animation at the collision location. Because your Deflector Shield effect looks really cool, but I'm trying to figure out how to achieve it that the shield reacts to the laser only after it got hit and not already at approaching it... any idea?

[@うさてー-q6u]

When I disconnect the emission shader at around 18:25, it doesn't show up as in the video, do you know why?

[@PaulWilliams-wj7rv]

can you do this effect using the practical emitters ?

[@basuka9399]

Will you ever release this file to be sold???

[@vitto8112]

Hi CBailey, what screencast key do you use?

[@meetamathur5882]

Can you please make a tutorial on Marvel's Wanda power effect in blender

[@yv3652]

What computer set up does every have?Curious to know how much and what I need to start.

[@matthewcs490]

HP Omen NVidia RTX.

[@matthewcs490]

You can really start with just a laptop with an AMD or Nvidia graphics card and intel processor of at least i6.That should give you some nice results. LMK if you have more questions.

[@psadicodes]

Please do a tutorial to make re entry effect in blender

[@sfgamer5.06]

Can I use this as re entry effect?

[@danbreland3444]

is it possible to use more than one empty to activate the shield? Like a ship being hit with lasers from different sides and have three different empties to make the shield activate. I'm trying to figure this part out.

[@KriegLives]

I would use bunch of these shields instead of one.

[@danbreland3444]

@@KriegLives That would probably be easier to do. Thanks.

[@mikemurphy8412]

Is the typo in the icon a youtube tactic?

[@CBaileyFilm]

No... I just can't spell. But now that you mention it...

[@reallemonboi7957]

you mustve done something off screen because i followed it verbatim and mine looks different
