If you wondering why you can't see the text glow while editing it, this might help. First, When changing render engine to eevee in the render properties, turn on bloom. Next at the top right of the viewport, there's four sphere options, the farthest right looking like a reflective glass sphere, that should allow you to see the text glow without rendering it.

U r a savior respect 🤝

[@tutog1889]

For those interested, you can also obtain this flashing effect by separating the different objects and performing a pseudo-random function which takes as input "info object -> random" and a value node with keyframes (which gives a concept of time) Good video!

[@barryryan5187]

I really appreciate the fast pace of your tutorials, thank you

[@deafdogdesign]

What is obvious to you isn't always obvious to someone trying to follow along. I didn't get the neon effect until I went back and discovered your settings at 1.45. You have Bloom turned on, plus ambient occlusions, screen space reflections and motion blur.

[@harringtonday5319]

Compiling my top 20 go-to KZbin TUTs - you're def way up in there D3D! - Many thanks for your education:) There's a buzz I get when someone like yourself explains something in way that even I can understand, I love learning and understanding how things work. Short cuts/add-ons are great if you know your stuff, ie when in a production environment - can save time. But if you're learning I say, don't get too distracted with all the unnecessary add-ons - instead do the spade work in blender vanilla and understand how to get there/problem solving etc. In the long run you will save more energy and time than any add-on can provide.

I struggled for a while with the project from view leading to a UV unwrap that moved parts of the letters differently than in the video. Realized that I had typed "Neon" instead of "NEON". How would I stop this from happening if I wanted to use lower case letters? Thanks!

Neon signs don’t have sharp corner you should have gone with some other font like blender guru did in his tutorial to get smooth corners

Hey i have a question how did you color the texts separately LIKE the one showing in thumbnail(EASY NEON SIGN IN BLENDER) how did you color them separately plz i need to know

[@erickrivera2425]

for some reaon when i export my animation it doesnt come like the one in the thumbnail any tips?

[@BrysonPrice]

I thought it would be cool to animate the whole word on/off...I achieved this by moving the color ramp slider, but it doesn't' have a keyframe option. Any way around this?

[@HansSuzuki]

Make sure you choose preview mode before change color, or it would not be visible as the default is solid mode

[@baskarelumalai6679]

How u set the selected tab color in the blender software.... the color was so beautiful...

[@aravindmuthu5748]

can you try to make oil lamps... I couldn't quite get the flame right

[@Casluvschloe]

Very good video for a noob who has NEVER done animations before. However, for you noobs out there PLEASE READ THIS in case you have the issue of the keyframes not inserting. I spent an hour googling this only to figure out how stupidly simple it was. MAKE SURE YOU'RE CLICKED ON THE OBJECT AND THE MAPPING NODE BEFORE YOU TRY TO INSERT OR IT WILL NOT APPEAR. That is all. Thanks for the video.

[@sarangovintharaj4269]

Hey bro there's a problem in my blender there is no screen cast keys how to I find them

[@abigailg6263]

Hey I’m using a Mac and when I press U nothing pops up. What other way would I be able to get project from view

[@S4NSE]

now half an hour later when I figured out which shortcuts you used because it didn't show up in the video I'm ready.. well, it didn't work, I put eevee as render machine, added material put it's surface on emission and nothing is glowing

[@hanqnero]

I have a problem with the shader. Following the tutorial created same shader, but when i change the ColorRamp value, I see that letters are glowing or some of them are completely black. How can I fix this?

[@kenzxk3321]

How can I change the speed of how fast it flickers

[@md.rabiulalamhridoy7391]

Increase your frames. Here his end(120) frame us 360°. But if u gor for 240 frames. Ur end frame should have 360°

[@ElSpoon]

Does Project from View not work with cycles in 2.9? When I select all my vertices and press U, no menu pops up. I've tried going into F3 and searching but nothing showed up. Also tried checking my key mapping in the settings and there was no UV Mapping keybind in the settings

[@DigiMuaCreator]

Good

[@mikeypafu]

Hi Ducky! Would you please explain why you uv projected the way you did ? With the zero scaling ? What does it serve here?

[@TheDucky3D]

Mickey Perry it makes it not show the whole texture on the object, just one pixel, making it look like it blinks, try it with a different texture coordinate plug and see how that looks

[@dgil3704]

Why is my sign red on blender but white after I render it?

[@abdulsamikhan1080]

I can't get the emission shader to work. I set the color, tune the strength and it just changes color but doesn't emit light. What should I do?

I keep on having this problem when I use emission it doesn't glow. Do u know how to fix that?

[@mandapallybalaji7542]

Just increase strength of emission And turn on bloom in render settings

[@vozcanyoutube]

Go to render properties, activate bloom then change emission value. Render engine must be eevee.

[@frozenpoptart9332]

How can I slow down the animation cause as it goes from 0-360 everything is extremely fast

change your frame rate when you go to render your animation make it 24 FPS
