Christmas Tree 🎄 Part 2 (Blender Tutorial)

[@shredda7]

Hey guys, merry christmas. a little tip for seeing the curve easier when placing it on the tree is to go into the viewport shading settings and change color from material to random. so now the two meshes will be different colors

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks for the tip!

[@-----0-----]

I can’t thank you enough! I used "Curve -> Curve Spirals -> Spheric" just because I could not take control over the "Curve -> Bezier", It just did not want to move as I wanted :) May be after I finish this I'll try to create second edition with the "Curve -> Bezier" :) 01:40 000740 02:06 0E1436 20:08 082C00 37:16 FFB400

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, someone else in the comments let me know about that as well. I wish I had thought of that spiral curve before making the tutorial. I speeds up the workflow and makes it much easier.

[@timehikes]

Great input, navigating 3d space while trying to wrangle that bezier curve was killing me.

[@hackedtechnothief]

jus completed this tutorial following along, you just help m,e break the ice working with particles Thank you!!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks for watching! Merry Christmas!

*Adds lights to particle system* Magnificent

[@RyanKingArt]

Lol 🙂 🎄

[@bakemore32]

What a fun and educational tutorial with great instructional narration. I am anxious to complete the whole project.

[@RyanKingArt]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@laf0106]

Great video tutorial I will jump on this later

[@RyanKingArt]

Cool! Thanks!

[@ayamnobadi9761]

Done. Easy to follow, just like the first part, thanks, it's looking nice.

[@RyanKingArt]

Awesome, thank you! I will be posting the last part soon!

[@robin6381]

If you can't do the Ctrl + Shift + Click on the Object Info, make sure you have Node:Wrangler turned on. Edit > preferences > add-ons > search > node:wrangler > check the box, and down at the bottom menu check auto-save prefences. Great tutorial!

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks! 👍‍

[@riuken1234]

This look really nice, but i going to wait for all videos are out to try. thanks for the video.

[@RyanKingArt]

Ok cool! I will be posting the last part tomorrow morning. 🙂

[@riuken1234]

@@RyanKingArt This was fun to fallow, yeah blender no go crazy on me this time lol. I try the spiral method someone mention in the comment. I focus on finish first this part, i not a fan of working with curves. Now that I finish materials and the star I can focus on put the lights in a proper place. thanks

[@RyanKingArt]

@@riuken1234 Thanks for watching!

[@CinaBloom]

if u cant see the cord still that much when u wrap around the tree, go to random in the viewport shader settings. under color. It wll make the cord a different color then the tree

[@CoachMarkus]

The BEST tutorial I've seen so far! thumbs up!

[@RyanKingArt]

Glad you like it! Thanks!

[@tristanbreale9377]

With free Addon "Add Curve : Extra Objects", you can add "curve spirals archemedian" then adjust it. And that's all ! It's faster :). Otherwise I also wanted to thank you for your wonderful tutorial. I needed it !

[@RyanKingArt]

Oh cool, I will check that out. Thanks for the tip!

[@DreamOfHero]

for have a faster adjustment you can also add a cone, size it to the height of the tree (from the start of branches) and add Shrinkwarp modifier to the archemedian curve (with cone as target, I put the option outside surface and 0.03 as distance). after that I do a random selection and move some point to look more natural.

[@RyanKingArt]

@@DreamOfHero Great idea! Thanks!

[@logicalinertia]

This helped me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/r5_Kl6Jrh6qebq8 I also didn't want to go through the pain of placing those curves by hand, especially when the tree branches were so dense.

Hey Ryan, first of all, thank you for all the tutorials you've been giving us, they're very clear and don't beat around the bush. Second, if you don't mind, can you share your PC specs? Because I'm planning to buy my own PC for my future 3D projects. Of course, you don't need to, if you want to keep that info private Thanks once again!

[@mexlemax3307]

Working with Curve or something like that, I don't like to do that. I'll give it a try. But otherwise this is also a super good work from you. I am curious about the part 3 and 4

[@RyanKingArt]

I will be posting the last part, part 3, later today.

[@AwesomeBattleIsKindaCoolBruh]

Hey King Ryan please help me I've got 2 issues, for some reason if I get super close to my models or anything at all for this tutorial mainly the Christmas tree blender just doesn't allow me to get close and makes it hard to zoom back out again, AND when I go into render mode to look at it, is all pixelated and dark I even turned my light all the way up to 2000 power instead of the 1000 you have.

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, did you add an HDRI in the world to help with lighting? Also, maybe scale up all of the objects in your scene, to fix the zooming in problem.

[@AwesomeBattleIsKindaCoolBruh]

@@RyanKingArt Okay sweet, and yes I did add the artist HDRI thing in the background. But it is still very dark and hard to see a long with pixelated, I tried uping my viewpoint and render but that did not help as much.

[@Frostroomhead]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamnnnnnnnnnnn nice

[@RyanKingArt]

thanks

[@kalmdown]

Lights are usually distributed evenly along the cord. Is there a way to do that with a particle system?

[@RyanKingArt]

Yeah, They are even along the cord. I wanted to do that in the tutorial, but I don't think there is a way to do that with the particle system. I might be wrong though. If you figure out a way to do that, I'd love to know about it!

[@logicalinertia]

Ryan - Thanks! You have the best tutorial out there for a realistic Christmas Tree! I found a way to make the lights distribute evenly with the particle system, instead of the random clumping. Duplicate the bezier curve (I named the original "lights path", and the duplicate "lights wire") Change the Geometry Bevel Depth to 0, so you only end up with vertex (no faces). Convert curve to mesh. Add the particle system but change the Source to Vertices and uncheck the Random Order box. For the "lights wire" curve, adjust the Bevel Depth for the size and add the 'Cord' color. Happy New Year! I'm looking forward to more of your great tutorials!@@RyanKingArt

[@RyanKingArt]

@@logicalinertia Cool! Thanks for the info!

[@benildusshanetrinity4277]

can this be rendered using eevee?

[@RyanKingArt]

Yes it can!

[@mr.lunatic3157]

😃

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks!

[@PRINCE-kl5io]

i cant convert bezier to mesh

[@RyanKingArt]

Did you select the curve, and then click on object, convert, to mesh?

[@oldchannel4968]

Waiting for your art critique.

[@RyanKingArt]

Thanks! I'm still waiting until December 1st, for everyone to submit there art. : )
