Underwater Scenes In Blender

[@WillToWinvlog]

This would be great if you didn't speed through every little step. For example, you said subdivide it and use cloud modifier but you went through and did it so fast I couldn't tell what values you used and what you actually did. You aren't doing a favor by fast forwarding through your actions. We're here to learn, so why would you not let us see what you are doing?!

[@johntorrington2672]

Don't be racist bro.....

[@HenriqueLoesch]

'cause it's not a tutorial, it's a showcase of a technique. If you have doubts or don't know what's certain things do search for other more basic tutoriais then comeback. The modifier part is a basic tool that's standard to make landscapes, if you don't know what it does that's on you, you shouldn't even be bantling coping the exact values and looks in the first place, you should apply what you learned in your own studies.

This one turned out really well!...... Just needs Moths for added realism he he!

[@crypt0sFX]

Moths...underwater?...really.... THAT WOULD MAKE IT SO MUCH MORE REALISTIC!

Hello there! If I plug the volume node into the world output it turns everything black. It only works for me if I apply the volume node to a material node in the scene.. anyone know why?

[@damiencristos243]

same as well, eevee is good but in cycles everything turns black

[@tuxgirl]

For me, if I use a sun light, the volume is too high in cycles. If I use a spot light or area light instead, it works fine. My understanding is that this is because the sun light is infinitely far away, so no matter how low you set the volume density, the light won't reach your scene.

Disclaimer, Made a mistake here, Megascans is only free if you are using it with Unreal Engine otherwise a different license is required, what we meant to say was you can get access to the library for free, you just cannot use it for commercial usage. But how you choose to use this on your own is up to you ;) (Thanks to all, who corrected me on this!)

[@cgtechie]

About to say so 😅

[@LuminousLabs]

I honestly do wonder if Epic Games even cares. They could have easily made it so you couldn't easily get all of the assets. I feel like they just wanted a library to add into Unreal Engine and don't really care about how people are using it

[@zaks7]

@@LuminousLabs they just want people to get used to the convenience of using photoscanned objects

[@abhiramrao2]

sry but did not get the water shader working its just visible if i move to the volume

[@niemanickurwa]

@@zaks7 I suspect, in fact, the whole point is to get people to use UE in some or all of their workflow. Their intention seems to be to make UE the powerhouse of both movie and game development. This is why UE is also essentially free... it's a pretty decent software from what little I've used it and I respect Epic for making it free. Model in Blender, final render in UE to skirt the rules is possibly the way to go. If only Adobe made Substance Painter free... Ah, I make myself laugh.... Adobe... Free.... hahahah

[@mycroft16]

That's some serious bang for using a lot of the "fast" methods. Looks really slick.

[@tomh.6261]

LOVE these videos! They just keep getting better!

[@wh0242]

hi i got black screen after add principled volume to world shader. how can i fix it?

[@timothyj67]

trying to do this in blender 3.4 and the plane is flat..no bumps. Are you using cycles or evee?? did you subdivide??...nvrmnd I just bought the whole tutorial on GM, Im going to follow a different tutorial on caustics. Its seems more defined. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oGKalXqMrJiSna8 ..update I just purchased your sub video and I will combine that make it sci-fi

[@Fenulterrurialoil]

do you have a 4.1 uodated vesion bc my volume bsdf isnt working like yours

[@nickbjones8833]

Can this be done in 4.1 ver

[@Man13198]

Please learn how to mount normally, if you are doing a lesson, do at least a freeze frame, and do not chop off in half

[@sociamadness233]

hi brother just wanted to correct you. quixel megascans is not free outside of unreal engine as i know

[@designfor3dinterior652]

You're the best concept art channel that I always watching every update that you post, great voice, great explanation, awesome, totally 10/10

[@Eradifyerao]

You sir, are one of the more dramatic Blender tutorial creators I have discovered. This really helps to break up the monotony...

[@himanshunagnure4771]

this scene doesn't work in cycles?.....Any way to do it?

[@ralphedenbag4552]

Great ! I hope you shall provide us how you added the "final touches" in photoshop (around 6:06 in your video). Thanks for the tuto nevertheless

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

This was a fun and educational tutorial! Thanks for being a gem in the ocean of Blender videos.

[@simonmalicek]

Isn't quixel free only if you're using it in UE4? I thought that was the case :D

[@myamdane6895]

0:24 When you put the cloud texture on it, the plane becomes all bumpy and chaotic on the left there, but you never show how to fix that??

[@neo-filthyfrank1347]

Do it before you scale it up, play with the strength, and don't reapply the scale

[@flankerchan]

Will this works in cycles too OwO ? Thanks for the tutorial.

[@aifutureknowledge]

3:45 though ...

[@Macaxdd]

Thanks for showcasing a new approach to particle whirls! I never really thought boids would be this useful. When I tried an underwater scene myself, I wanted a whirlpool of fish particles and just used smoke sim + fluid flow force field with a single vortex force field, and it was very hard to control them.

[@researchandbuild1751]

Isnt quixel megascans supposed to be used in Unreal only? According to its license

[@shivamoon108]

Went through all the hoops to register, sign up, download the blender plugin, etc. only to find out it appears not to be free...!

[@Ar.Raghav]

Same here! My whole curiousity got destroyed and my day is ruined -_-

[@rolandbakohu]

It may sound obvious but after you register and install Quixel Bridge you still need to sign in as you are not signed in automatically. Then just pick and choose the assets from Megascans and they are free for private use. Here is a link to a vid that may help: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIjTgIejad-spaM

[@shivamoon108]

@@rolandbakohu Thanks! I've been subscribed to Jen for years, so i'll check out the vid.

[@Youtube_Cribbit]

Old vid, but what kind of corrections did you do and to what render passes in photoshop

[@elliejohnson2786]

I don't think quixel bridge is free for commercial use outside UE...

[@KoshNaranick]

you said bridge was free? I tried to get it and in order to use it you need a plan or only be able to use their library in unreal... what am I missing.. thanks for the video.. nice work!

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

This is using Eevee... 😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩 Real time and fast rendering... Thanks for the tutorial... 🙏🙏🙏

[@alivetutors]

Very fast paced and skipped few minutes in between when setting changes.

[@Mnh092]

why at 5:12 my fish are rotated horizontally, it's not as straight as usual, is there any way to fix it like in the clip

[@exhaustnotemusic5835]

Dude.. this scene is crazyy... you could have also rendered a maybe 10 sec video too.. with a small camera movement.. that would be crazy.. but as such this is so cool..

[@pajalixd4016]

What ?? I just thought about making underwater scene but I didn't know how to do it. Right after that your video dropped. You are my savior. thank you !

[@ichbinnichthanszimmer6005]

I am searching for a tutorial like this. And I am a super beginner at learning blender. I am a C4D + octane user for 3 years. Compare with blender and C4D of a tutorial: "How to make an underwater scene in that two software?" I think the blender is easier to realize the scene. Unfortunately, I only can use C4D, and I am still a beginner. I regret that I learned C4D but blender. And by the way. Is Blender is getting famous or not? And it looks more realistic than older.

[@CriticalGiants]

Hi there, I think it really depends on what you primarily use the tool for. If you are a motion graphics designer, then i think C4D is still the champion. However, in all honesty with all other work I prefer Blender, especially when it comes to building scenes fast, and for things like Concept Art. However if you are working on big feature films, and big VFX then other tools are required. Either way, Blender is currently the biggest 3D software in the world, and I only think it is growing bigger :)

[@Babymonkeykon]

someone tell me how to Fake Caustics plssss.

[@totheknee]

Just needs some birds for scale. XD

[@somaeleric3456]

you should have used multi layers on the voronoi it looks odd on the final rinder

I can not get over how AWESOME these videos are. Thank you for doing these! Blender for 2d Concept artists who don't know a ton of blender off the bat... Super useful. I'm still in the early learning stage

[@MudraptorGaming]

How would you do a scene in the abyss? Like in the middle of a cave with no light except from a submarine or something

[@CriticalGiants]

Same technique just a point, spot or area light emitting from the submarine instead of a sunlight. Might do it for a video one day

[@PhilR0gers]

Sadly, the .blend file I bought off Gumroad crashes Blender. It loads ok, but as soon as I click on anything, it crashes.

[@muhammadadenugraha2299]

As-salāmu‘alaikum, I thank you for the knowledge. May I imitate and modify this method for commercial purposes?? without including your name / youtube name??

[@nw3052]

Importing assets from Quixel didn't work in Blender 3.3, so I installed the 2.93 version and it worked

I love your videos dude. This is something that I actually think i could do

[@shadoukitu]

nvm I tried can't get textures from megascans or anywhere else for some reason. I'm trying to do exactly what you do but of course it just doesn't work for me. Idk what I'm doing wrong

Does this also work in blender 2.83? unfortunately i cant run any version above that :(

[@carlospenalver8721]

This was a helpful video and you might have an answer to a question I been wanting to ask someone but this video is about as close to what I want to start as a project so here goes. If I make a full length animation how do the use of blender and images I did not create play in the finances of haveing to pay and give credit when it comes to using blender do I need special permission and images I did not create but advertise as free or is anything I make using blender and images I compose but made money off of all mine .

[@Q1w1N]

Awesome stuff. Now i have to think of a comedy sketch that will incorporate underwater ruins... Maybe some moths cult...? xD

[@HipBlooD]

Great Tutorial! I wish you could just export the scene and import it into unity. Is there a way to do so?

[@RamBAnimations]

Is there any way we can do this without volumetrics coz its gonna take a lot of render time

[@xvivianraven]

I´m very new to blender (worked with autodesk maya before) and for some reason it didn´t work out for me as you showed in the video. First, for some reason I don´t have the same view as you (textures, etc.) and then I don´t get these beautiful lights from the sun shining through. May you can help me why this is so?

looks wonderful.. i really wish blender had a blur node that would've helped the "fake" caustics out a lot just being a bit smoother but I've had a bunch of idea to fake things for doing underwater volumetrics in eevee and you've done all of them and more good to see it works out pretty well haha

are we just using the original fish image for the bump? or we edit it first at photoshop to make that black and white photo? 3:54
