Recreating Mordor In Blender

[@Redmoa]

One does not simply sculpt Mordor

[@blipvfx]

unless one is this guy

[@grimreaperreloads8405]

did not expect to see you here

[@hornlessunicorngaming9095]

This reminds me of the story of the guy who made the detailed 3D model of this tower so they didn’t have to blow up the practical tower; so much work and dedication to the details.

[@savageopress1753]

I was going to comment the same thing!

[@DelvingDesigns]

Gray Horsfield, amazing 3D Artist.

[@brof1sh953]

I would really love to hear a voice over on projects like these explaining your thought process or technical decisions. Very fun to watch nevertheless!

[@zachiboi5253]

Sauron: This fortress is taking forever, the orcs are simply working too slow and I need this done by the 3rd age Witch-King: Mi' Lord, why not just use Blender? Sauron: Hmmm..... Also Sauron:

[@ClaimClam]

AI solves this

[@danielnees9356]

Fantastic as always! The way you did the base shape of the rock with Ramesh and Displace modifiers was quite interesting. I'll have to give that a try

[@sketchinginblender]

Thank you)

[@wolfhoundsnow1896]

I have learned more from you than hours of tutorials on modeling and optimizing and shading. If Masterclass was a speedrun haha. If interested I think if you were interested a recreation of Dracula's Castle would be sooo cool to see you make!!

[@RamCinematics]

Thanks for the motivation. I wasn't sure if I could do it, but I might try it eventually.

[@sketchinginblender]

the main thing is to practice constantly and then there will be a result😉

[@blackadam4974]

after browsing through so many channels. Yours is by far the best. The explaining thod is so great and detailed even complex stuff is

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@Ivbo]

This was amazing, you should really consider doing a location from Game Of Thrones next, there are so many great options to choose from, Kings Landing, Winterfell, Dragonstone, Meereen, The Wall.

[@user-sf2cf7bf4r]

Kings landing please!!

[@AnTony2183]

Winter is coming!

[@Ab_obla]

King's landing and the wall should be first

[@pg1448]

Since House of the Dragon is currently running, the Red Keep would definitely be a timely choice.

[@cgnovice2969]

Always such a damn pleasure to watch. Great work

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@elliotbayless4786]

Sketching in blender: well, it’s time to start sculpting! Clay strips: it is your destiny.

[@grimreaperreloads8405]

I feel the best way to sum up most epic middle earth cities is, BIG circle, medium circle, small circle

[@JonkariP]

Absolutely stunning! I love how the final image has a bit painterly look to it while still being photo real.

[@diex800]

It’s inside how your able to do this, u a huge inspiration bro keep it up

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@burningbright2003]

Loved the technique...amazing work...overall 10 out of 10

Еще одна отличная работа, второй кадр на Artstation просто топ!

[@sketchinginblender]

спасибо)

[@RobinMikalsenVFX]

wow! impresive work as always!

[@3dgame826]

So much attention to detail that you can't even see in the final render. All this speaks of you as a professional who loves his job. This is my first time on your channel. And now I know what I should strive for. I'm not a professional until I can do something like that. Amazing work.

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@thanehaun9267]

this is sooo well done

[@mariaeduardagoschmarafon3043]

Incredibly knowledgeable and we'll-spoken teacher. Nice tutorials comfortableness with the subject makes starting soft real exciting!!

[@artecomali]

I'm starting to learn Blender, and this art made me even more in love!

[@pinkpocketTV]

Holy shit, this is amazing 🤩

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@BalloStudios]

Looks better than in the movie XD 👍👍👍

[@sketchinginblender]

🤗

[@SanOcelotl]

Amazing work as always bro, love the videos

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@acidica]

some of these techniques just blew my mind

[@Max-oo1xw]

Looks incredible. It would be cool if you could upload a version of this that isnt as fast, maybe as unlisted. This way it would be easier to actually see what shortcuts you are using. I already tried setting the KZbin speed lower but even with that its often hard to see what you are doing. So if you have the time (and the video files ofc) I and probably some more people would be really thankful.

[@ragibrahman9594]

your artworks are always very inspiring.

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks a lot)

[@mahdizobeydi]

It's really amazing work, nice job 🔥🔥🔥🔥

You are a legend, you helped a lot and you explained it really great!

[@M_vfx]

Very good! I waited a lot for this!

[@maxlvv]

Невероятный подход к деталям! Сразу видно человека, которому небезразлична его работа. Отдельное спасибо за ссылки на сайты с бесплатными текстурами.

[@sketchinginblender]

[@JohnDoe-fl4uo]

You NEED to bring all your render creations into one video and make an amazing short film WOULD BE EPIC

[@kote.7269]

Восхитительно! Аж волосы дыбом от того какие сейчас возможности у нас есть.

Как всегда офигенно. Чувак, ты крут. Спасибо. Мотивируешь изучать блендер и дальше.

Damn, such a great job you did.

[@pstuarts]

Bro, you are such a talented artist! I'd like you to know that, if you make some courses or a patreon, where we can watch a detailed step by step of ur workflow, I would pay for it, and i'm sure i'm not the only one.

I've been following you for a very long time, dude, and every time you surprise me. each job makes you think about how much work you need to put in to reach your level

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@Golden-uk7tp]

Another amazing artwork, your videos helped me a lot to get what I want done in blender. I always look forward to see your videos and always checks your channel incase I missed anything new. I have a question here though, how did you make the great eye, did you import it as image on plane or made it fully in blender?

[@sketchinginblender]

at first I wanted to do it in a blender but it turned out too bad, then I just added it to post processing

[@Themomos63]

Me encanta, gracias por compartirlo!

one does not simply remake mordor...👌

[@ProxyDoug]

Mesmerizing work

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@JeanBaptisteEmanuelZorg]

And his did all of this out of his memoery, right? Blueprints of Barad Dur, even if they exist, are so difficult to come by and his just comes here and makes it out of his head, just merely by watching the film? I doubt it.

[@sketchinginblender]

only photos from the movie)

[@RichardDenRooyen1973]

Yes!! thank you!!

[@mapograph]

Can we see the end result in some sort of animation in your next projects. A short fly-by maybe would look awesome!

[@jaadugar4522]

This is unbelievable, how tf can someone do it all alone.

Thank you very much for sharing your workflow! It helps immensely. :) How did you do the volcano eruption?

[@sketchinginblender]

on post-correction)

[@kemalardaalkin1068]

Great work, really love your interface how did you do that ?

[@sketchinginblender]

in the blender, you can customize the interface for yourself, you can change the color of each interface element

[@visualsbymilo]

Absolutely stunning dude. How long did this take overall if you don't mind me asking?

[@sketchinginblender]

1 month)

[@quasibiased]

Now create Rohan lol. Seriously amazing work

[@aarondraws7699]

Doesn't seem like you would need so many lights that might increase render times significantly for not much gain, but fantastic work and attention to detail

[@karimsadout7406]

Amazing work, could you please share your blender theme?

[@shadow_snowflake]

thank you so much

[@virnawhite9854]

Обожаю ваши ролики на ютубе больше всех! Каждый раз с нетерпением, очень жду новый ролик, а потом пересматриваю все их снова. Потому-что это очень круто, вдохновляюще и полезно! Большое спасибо вам, автор, за вашу работу, ролики, монтаж, крутые итоговые работы - я уверена это занимаем много времени и сил. Я только сейчас узнала что вы из СНГ и я без проблем могу написать вам комментарий на русском Х)

Спасибо больше) очень приятно🤗

nice tuto bro, that solved!

[@Maarten-Nauta]

Do you have a list of ur favorite modeling addons?

[@charlesweaver3000]

Amazing as always! 😃 Do you have any tips on how to model my own rock and plant assets for scenes like this?

[@Resonance_Of_Life]

Look's like a lot of work ! I do question why all we see of it finished is a still shot that could have just been painted much faster and easier! Are you going to try and render a animation walkthrough?

[@sketchinginblender]

initially, I made a model for animation, but it did not suit me with the quality and time of rendering

Build me an army worthy of Mordor !

[@user-hn2wc3fy7y]

I wonder what Weta would say if you showed them this in 2001 and said you made it over the weekend with free software on an upper-mid-tier computer lmao. Obviously I'm kidding about the time (idk if a lot more or less tbh; I would believe either one) but, at risk of underplaying your effort, it's crazy how far we've come that talented people like you can accomplish feats as described.

Whoaaaa, mindblowing🔥. May I ask what is your computer setup?

I wanted to ask what add-ons you use to make trees and stuff or if it's just geometry nodes. Also, we'd all love to see a video on your workflow and thought process. Keep up the great work!!!!

no age restriction to make art!

Insane quality and effort. That said, I have a question. How did you do the mountain? It looks great. Was it the ANT plugin, or was it handmade/added in post? Thanks.

really amazing

How did you make sauron's eye?
