Thanks, just what I needed. I had to use a custom emission shader, since my scene already had an existing lighting setup. I recreated the look you are going for with this: Geometry Node (Normal) -> Mapping Node (Change Y Rotation to 90) -> Gradient Texture (Fac) -> ColorRamp (Select a bright blue and a white color) -> Emission -> Material Output

[@manuelpolleri123]

this didn't work for me but if anyone is having the same problem i fix it by doing a texture coordinate (generated) into the mapping and the color ramp plug into a principled bsdf AND emission, and then mix them with a mix shader. Also I recomend making a plane with the same material so you can see more easy hoy the gradiant is affecting the object.

[@ShirazHazrat]

Never knew about metaballs until now. Nice one, thanks Kai!

[@TutsByKai]

Always glad to help!

[@vizdotlife]

I had no idea about this mesh until your video today....very useful thanks.

[@LostLoserHero]

[@Diana_TsNa]

My man :D You save my life. My project is in 3ds max so I can't do cartoon clouds easy but now... I can export it. :D Thanks.

[@TutsByKai]

Glad I could help!

[@TheLoveMiku]

Thank you so much, Kai :)

[@zoezhang4705]

Thanks for this cute clouds tutorial! I am new to blender, and I wonder how to bring these clouds to Unity so I can get the same lighting effect...

[@thanosthegod4406]

[@kaysenemanuel4784]

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does anybody know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow lost the password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me

@Kaysen Emanuel Instablaster ;)

[@kaysenemanuel4784]

@Leon Kayson I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@kaysenemanuel4784]

@Leon Kayson it worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out!

[@leonkayson8402]

@Kaysen Emanuel You are welcome xD

[@TheCosmoqueso]

Thanks dude! New follower.

[@thePadlockesTech]

Cool, just what I needed!

[@shesanportfolio]

Thanks! This is what I'm looking for

[@Xraller]

Haha. Never heard them called 'meat' balls before. Metaballs are fun but not as tasty as meatballs >D

[@TutsByKai]

Haha, yeah it's kinda something I do here on the channel :D

[@SoulTaken]

Thank you :D

[@rap819]

Thankyou

[@WW_Studios]

3rd? 😂 I never used metaballs before! Looks super cool!

[@tuhoang4580]

Hello. Thank you so much for the tutorial. I am wondering if this can be brought to Maya afterwards ?

[@TutsByKai]

Just export it to an obj or something similar :)

[@tuhoang4580]

@@TutsByKai Thank you

[@starboardpanic]

great video usiang this style for a bonsai tree im making, how would i go about making all the meatballs into one soild object? cant find anything online an ctrl-J isnt working.

[@juicy3Dstudio]

Can I import the light/color settings to UE4 if I wanted to have them there? Or do I need to make a separate shader in there again.

[@TutsByKai]

I believe you'd have to remake them, unless UE4 has implemented a new importing feature since I last used it!

[@LeonEyedis]

How can you keep the lighting on the model? If I bake it in cycles the colour goes away and goes blurry?

[@NghiemMaiQuang]

Great tuts! Btw any idea how to instance them across the scene?

[@-xtrayed-5755]

hi i had a question about aseprite i can not figure out how to export my files to unity i tried it but it came out blurry i re did it but then it came out and all the colors were messed up from the original image i evn followed somone elses settings in the unity engine an it didnt work please help

[@yd8036]

how do u get rid of the black lines covering the metaballs once your done making the cloud

[@seriouseffectt]

have you ever figured it out?? im wondering as well

[@cheickdiarra882]

@@seriouseffectt I think you can add the solidify modifier and change it to complex and from constraint to fixed

[@miguelpescado]

Convert it to a mesh. Simple.
