Its so simple yet so detailed, I always worry about the detail when making scenes which would discourage me from even starting, but after seeing this video it really shows you don't need to fret over every detail to make it look good.

[@ChillieGaming]

Well if it's a 3d render with far away distance then yea don't waste time on things that won't ever be seen. But if you are making a game then yea detailing each part while maintaining art style and performance is crucial

[@РоманЛепик-б6н]

Shaders will detail everything for you ))

[@CarsOverdose]

This is work of art. From the music, the environment, the vibe under a bridge in an apocalyptic timeline. You sir can evoke emotions big companies with unlimited employees can never evoke. I would love to see an animation render from this project if you have the time. Truly amazing.

[@desireops]

I would say Naughty Dog did amazing in evoking emotions through the environment :/

[@rufukyduky]

@@desireops Of course they did, they have the best people available in the industry. I appreciate original comment, but it's just simply untrue, what Naughty Dog did with both The Last of Us parts in astonishing

[@affigeralbert3967]

Bro pleeeeeeaaaaase keep this going! This is so relaxing and impressiv at the same time! Your such an inspiration for me and for shure other blender artists as well!

[@sketchinginblender]

thank you very much😉

[@cowldryd0g658]

I love how the scene is made almost only with simple shapes and a bunch of assets and simple models, thank you so much for uploading this, it's so mindblowing for me to see such a beautifull artwork with just a flat plane as the base of the entire project haha. Great work!!

[@dustsky]

Outstanding work; every video you post is a treat! Also, a fitting and evocative soundtrack! Too many times with these types of videos, I end up muting the sound in annoyance.

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@thegreatgatsby5493]

I really hope Blender takes place of Maya and Max soon. In a world where every software has to be purchased by per month membership, Blender is REALLY important for the society; inspiring and helping many young and adults who can't afford Max and Maya.

[@jaydonwinger9869]

I just spent a total of 12 hours in blender and unreal engine trying to build and animate my cat game and I finally got it to work. Yet I still don't feel any pain watching this video, that's how easy you made it look.

[@lupazxyz]

Wow, that's something i want to achieve one day!

[@MrJev]

Your work is really incredible, I could watch this for hours it's truly mind blowing. If I was you there would have been so many moments where I would have lost motivation and settled with what it was, but the fact that you keep going and think of all the smallest details is what brings your art to life. Amazing work man I have mad respect for you

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks a lot)

[@davewills6121]

Just started out in Blender and its so addictive, i now have a new hobby and passion, and it's tutorials like this that inspire and motivate. Kudos

[@Corza]

Doing that little rigid body sim for the trash piles is such a good idea. I like that

[@rajendrameena150]

I realized how insanely I am sticking to this content. Literally, I was missing something about environment creation that this channel fulfilled me.

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@watchandproduce]

I like how you fixed a small window for the camera on the right. So simple and effective.

[@Z3D04_]

Words isn’t enough! Look great, for a person that haven’t been using blender for to long this is what inspirers me ti keep keep going and some day achieve this kind of result! Great work and have a blessed day every one!

[@Denomote]

I see tlou, I click

[@Pyramid_Skeem]

🤣😂 funny cause it's true

[@---Nikita--]

why make a static render in 3d if you can generate the same or better in stable diffusion?

[@Denomote]

@@---Nikita-- where's the fun in that

[@---Nikita--]

​@@Denomote same question for making static art but in 3d. but okay... someone paints with oil on canvas, restores vintage cars in etc. it's ok

[@Denomote]

@@---Nikita-- the artist here is doing it as a hobby, not a job also creating something you're proud of and showing it to the world is objectively way better than simply hitting a generate button when someone looks at a great art piece that someone spent hours on, they say "wow this must have taken a long time, it looks incredible" it's like the artist that made it earned his title as an artist but when someone looks at a generated art piece, they tend to completely forget about the "creator"

[@harshitrao8729]

i love how detailed the roadside is but buildings doesn't even have their windows broken! great work btw!

[@EinsteiniumMC]

Hey, you are awesome! I started learning blender yesterday, hopefully I can be as good as you one day.

[@judgsmith]

You will if you stick with it.

[@flipityflop4366]

its been a while since i watched one of your videos, and im glad im back

[@kurisuchiinathecrocodile333]

Finally, a new wonderful video from you! Was checking your channel recently hoping for more - and here it comes. Great!

[@LightArchitect]

It looks amazing! Love the attention to detail.

[@omarttt]

You always inspire me, and your work is really amazing! keep going man.

[@ShieldedRender]

If possible, don't stop. These are so incredible and so inspiring to watch. Well done!

[@markmilorov5087]

Wow incredible work!! The attention to detail is out of this world

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@rezo856]

This guy is literally one of the best environment modeler and one of the best blender artist without a doubt. I love all your works so much. Your videos always inspire/motivate me to become pro environment artist 😎❤️

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks a lot

[@ExOfficeZombie]

I will pay millions for an in depth narrated tutorial of this, i think this exercise covers almost all you need to know about blender

[@mipe7755]

I think you're not in a fraction aware of how much more you can achieve in Blender. I mean, no doubt this video covers an excellent work of environment design, but in Blender you can do so much more. You can sculpt, animate characters, sequence whole videos, add soundtracks, perform fluid simulations, prepare models for 3D printing and so much more...

[@mipe7755]

And fun fact, you don't need to pay millions. You can just follow some free basic courses here on YT, cuz really, he's mostly using basic techniques. Maybe only particle systems and ivy generation I would consider semi-advanced.

[@cptairwolf]

It's amazing to me that the actual game looks pretty much this good running at 60fps! That's quite an accomplishment.

[@MCDesign199]

Well to be fair, the Blender render engine just isn't really anything special. If you rendered this same scene out in Redshift, Vray, Octane, and especially Arnold, it'd look a further 3-4 times better.

[@aprasad014]

I'm more amazed by the number of resources and textures you have handled...

[@manmadeartists]

Right now i am working on sth similar but as i am not an expert in environmental design I often struggle to stay motivated. Watching your workflow really encourages me to keep on working! Thank you so much for sharing 🫶🏻

[@ringtail5021]

finally a time lapse that shows the final result. great work

[@CryptowithRico]

I love Blender and I wish that I had an interest in this stuff when I was sixteen. It's never too late to start a new hobby but it will take years of practise for me to be able to comfortably work with this program. Unfortunately I don't have the time in my life right now. Watching stuff get designed like this is really therapeutic for me.

[@Crunchy_Punch]

I started at 3D design at the age of 35, 3 years ago. Started a new piece every few weeks, and fell off the wagon a year ago after life got too busy. I started again 3 weeks ago and have already made some of my best stuff, recreating my very first character piece but 100x better, It takes work, but if you put in even a little amount of time over a steady period it will begin to click. You just need to supplement it by watching the right tutorials.

[@choturamteke5934]

@@Crunchy_Punch suggest best beginner tutorials

[@ElitePortraits]

amazing job really, only one little tiny thing from my personal taste, i would put those 3 TV a little bit less organized, maybe one of them tilted

[@TheAbsolutecad]

Amazing. Great workflow tips and a wonderful finished product

[@sketchinginblender]

thanks)

[@ACS-Geronimo]

My God.. I wish I had a tenth of this creators skillset and gifts.. absolutely amazing

[@heydude994]

I am currently starting with blender, your work is simply amazing, it inspires me to keep practicing, I hope one day to reach your level and make such wonderful art.

[@anysousa3735]

that turned out fantastic

[@renzesparza6281]

I love this, it turned out great. Also very cool method for making the debris

[@vinnypassmore5657]

So nice to watch a pro at work, wonderful stuff, thanks for sharing.

[@lacktosefrei5083]

what addon are u using to let the trees look like boxes in the viewport?

[@cog2488]

Офигительная работа. Вот прямо безумно понравилось. Можете рассказать о дополнениях которыми пользуетесь? Что использовали для рассадки зелени? Очень интересно как расставляли деревья (это такой аддон с прокси?) Мотивирует изучать софт. Как работа артиста, мне ваши стиль очень очень нравится.

[@sketchinginblender]

для рассадки зелени использовал Scatter 5, деревья как раз из его библиотеки ассетов

Me gustan mucho tus trabajos, felicidades, son muy buenos! Siempre dudé en aprender a utilizar Blender, sin duda tus trabajos son inspiradores y quizás me anime a intentarlo por mi mismo. Saludos desde Argentina!

Tip: when you add fungus on pillar/column, also add "spores" (green gas with particles). Beautifully crafted,

[@shattleStudio]

Я уже начал волноваться! Рад видеть новую работу! Как всегда божественно!

[@Mnxeu]

The fact that people are this talented genuinely blows my mind.

[@stings7]

are all the textures free that you used or is it payed?

[@SOFT59]

Please tell me what is the name of your theme in the blender?

[@captainblade115]

Hey man this is insane! as somewho uses blender daily and loves world building art, what are you doing with instancing here with SOO many objects. Is your file size huge as hell or is it not that bad?

[@Sampai56]

sir/madam, may I ask you how long do it take you to create a scene like this, cause I want to set a time limit to improve my workflow.

[@ijqppsijppps2036]

Привет! Сколько времени ушло на создание этой работы?

[@ChrisCasanada]

Subbed! Amazing work. The atmosphere is just insane! Would love to see a breakdown vid of this, specially the techniques you demonstrated on this. A whole lot of follow-up video you can create from this masterpiece alone! The kinks and rock chipped off of the bridge, the trees, ivy gens, the proper lighting, brooo, a lot! Great work!

[@washyb]

Forgive the dumb question but I'm an eager beginner, when creating a scene like this, since there are no moving parts, do you not worry about correctly meshing everything together? Combining parts of big objects and scenes together is something im dreading tackling. Thank you all

[@buddhika_bro]

Very Great Work. I was quite fascinated after seeing this thing. Thank you very much. Keep making videos like this. May it be won ❤️

[@sketchinginblender]

Thanks)

[@wowtim]

Подскажите что за операция с занавесками? Как глубину сделали?

[@TruthSurge]

boy, if architects could only cntrl-c control-v..... imagine how fast an apt complex would go up! This is like trying to watch a YT tutorial without any verbal guide AND on 3X speed. wow. So.... being able to navigate Blender's controls with muscle memory is pretty key to getting stuff done quickly. Scaling cubes, changing views, cloning... hmmm I know, YT speed = .25! hahaha hour long video! I'm at 4 min in and this is so amazing already.

Incredible work, im totally blown away by the end Result but also by the whole process. Keep it up❤ this is one of your best works so far😮

this is so good! i learnt a lot! i have a question. At 10:25 u put a rigid body passive to the plane right isnt normally collision for this ? (i'm still learning of course)

[@ritishsuneja930]

This was lovely! Beautiful mate :)

[@gianlozano102]

First you taught me how atlas textures work, now I’ve never thought using a displaced cube as a boolean to create destroyed concrete. Thanks!

[@VincentAlth]

Bro you're actually a lifesaver with this video

[@stargateheaven23]

incredible work

[@zomboriviktor5334]

awesome work. one thing i might consider (nitpicking though), try making the topography uneven, and maybe add big chunks of damage to the buildings.

[@rusoandaluzo292]

You are not a human, bro! I just have no words wanna be like you... Awesome godness job made! TY

[@potato-3970]

Your work is genuinely so inspiring! I’ve learnt so many awesome work flow tips just from watching your process! You make it look so easy. If you don’t mind me asking, what did you use to hide the tiling at 6:05?

[@sketchinginblender]

Anti seam addon

[@woodoyoy]

I usually rotate tiles randomly with blender guru's mapping addon, then add another texture and scatter it with something like noise texture over, with whatever opacity is good for me. It then looks absolutely random even if it's a shot from above on a huge plane

[@squdee_tm3611]

you amaze me once again! keep up the insane work!!!

[@savvysod8995]

Bro this is amazing! Genuinely fun to watch ur process. Got a new subscriber out of me. The whole thing is a work of art.

[@specopsgaming8366]

@sketchinginblender. Firstly brother i am an actual 3d environment artist at Technicolor the first thing i was taught in my academy during my 3d course was OBSERVATION. Secondly decent work👍 Take it as an advice there are almost no windows on ground floor of a building atleast on the road facing side unless and untill there is an entry on that side too. Keep it up👍

Love your work, how did you get the 2 reflections balls at the bottom rigth of your viewport window ?

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

Makes you want to live in the cities that you sculpt.

[@JauntyM]

Its good but the 4th building in the background was tilting on the left side that doesn't make sense as for it to have done that there would have to be an earthquake scenario which would leave similar effects on other buildings that we can't really see in that scene. Otherwise this is incredible piece of work wish I could learn how to do that.

[@KeysPlays]

Awesome Work - and so chilling with the music :o

[@aidansamuel7676]

Absolutely incredible work👏 if i may offer some personal feedback. The phone booth on the right doesnt feel right there and the building seems flat and lacking the detail u gave to the rest of the scene. These are just two small things i noticed a wanted to mention but overall this is an incredible work of art with such amazing attention to detail 👏👏
