OK gotta say it, ive been working in blender for a couple of years and what max hay manages to do with such simple set ups still amazes me. he comes up with these ideas and manages to show experienced and beginners how to make the most out of this system and it is genually impressive
love this video!! love the format!! the little to none editing w/ casual speaking is great!! the format reminds me alot of adam savage’s one day builds video, making the video feel very authentic.. keep making vids like this! again very helpful video thankyou!❤❤❤
Thanks for this video I teally needed it, I've been practicing blender for 2-3 years now and I want to start pushing my skills more and thos video helps a lot🙏🏽👌🏽✨️
You are amazing and i guess tour system is way better then me😂, your cycle rendering is really it's super realtime ..... Plz upload more amazing tutorials, i want to learn everything
nice tut but it got a little confusing at 5:46 my edit mode did not allow me to insect so now I am just randomly selecting to see if I can get something close to yours.; beautiful work you. got. keep it up.. I would love to see more detail tutorials for beginners.
I am learning a lot from you, keep up the good work up and for sure I will click "give me access soon". What if you ON screen shortcuts so we can see your clicks and key presses, which will make us learn more faster. "Just a Suggestion"!
Yo great video, really helpful and has opened my eyes to another side of blender. Quick question tho, do you have a tutorial or if not can you make one on how to import all your models over from the likes of CGTrader to blender.
do you have a video on what you do for settings? (following the first example) I had to mess around a lot to even get the emission to show up on the ground. after finally getting it it still doesnt feel just quite right with what you have going on. any insight or need to know things would be amazing!
Hey max!!! How do you make the floor i really wana know, i meant whenever i make a scene the concrete floor looks very flat and does not pop up!!! please guide us on next tutorial🙏
In the first one, I’ve done everything and everything looks great in the view port render. But when I hit f12 it just renders a completely black image. Do I need to add a light? I thought the emission from the plane would be the light source?
Hey Max something ive been struggling with and probably other people might find useful is "how to make your render not look like a miniature". Could you kindly make a video on that pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee?😪
well i don't know if i sound stupid to ask this but i recently started blender and interested in cinematic renders so i started this tutorial but i'm stuck at the first ever thing i added the second plane and added the material and even if i maxed out the straighten it doesn't show the light reflection just a white plane what can i do to fix it
I tried this because I'm struggling with a similar scene, but when I render it, the dramatic black is sort of faded into grey, murdering the contrast. I tried making this one from scratch also and it is still grey. Tried all sorts of things. Eevee, Cycles, made all the materials as dark as possible. Nothing. Even flat rough back is rendering as grey. I've done it before. Now it isn't working. At my wit's end. My scene isn't working very well at all because I can't get the background dark enough for the drama. Ideas?
For some reason couldn't get the emission panel/reflective floor to emit light or reflect on the first one, I'm probably missing something stupid. Will need to come back later since these kinds of things are super helpful
at 06:43 I don't understand how your UV mapping showed both frames while at 06:34 they both are club (one is inner and one is outer) and also my rotation is not working, so I need your tips on this.
I don't have a bad Computer but in the first example i have 3fps and everything looks really pixelated even efter letting it calculate for a while. So I cant se what i'm doing when making changes Help
I'm your big fan 💖. I have one request to you please Just like you made cloud modelling , similarly make thunder model also in the new projects. From INDIA. 
10:16 How did you get the bloom effect tho? I did some settings here n there with the color ramp but didnt get bloom effect like this.. If anyone knows plz help
Hey guys, does anyone know how to keep the scene lit like his is at 14:26 ? When I apply volume scatter to the cube my whole scene just goes black.. I'm very new to Blender btw Would really appreciate the help!
I pretty much just increased the saturation in photoshop! Adding a bit a clarity and sharpness helped too. You can find my exact Photoshop process on my channel
11:00 your ground looks a lot darker in areas that aren't mirroring the emission object, my whole ground plane is glowing from the emission even though it's not set that bright. I wonder if I am missing something
I'm not sure why but my emmision isnt affection other objects, its just glowing, any fixes? (I'm on Blender 4.0) Edit: nvm i just had screen space reflections off :p
Hi can someone help me with those assets from the free pack? I dont know how to implement them to my library. Can someone send some link on yt or site where I can do it? Or just step by step how to do it?
can someone tell me is they have used eevee or cycles? I would like to know because in eevee it doesnt render but in cycles it's very harsh on my computer. So if someone used eevee could please tell me the whole set up and modifications? :) Edit : someone also tell me how he got the preview of the render on the bottom right corner 😅
I noticed your render view almost calculates instantly and there is no noise in the preview. Are these specific render settings to achieve this? Great video as well!
enable denoise for your viewport settings :))) and set the samples to 128-512, around that range. also a big factor for this is your hardware so.... this might not work for you depending on your pc
12:56 Im following along but I did something wrong. For the rock skull material what did you plug the Normal into?? You brought in the color and roughness of the rock material but I cant see what you did with the Normal. I only see a purple line plugged into the Pricipled BSDF but where is the output coming from?
I try to follow step by step and I can get past the first 3 minutes. My emissions panel isn't projecting light? And its basically a few steps add panel and change emission settings. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here?
Is there a reason why I can’t see the reflection of my plane? (I tried turning it to cycles and I turned on screen space reflections but I still dont see anything)

Your videos have helped me improve my renders so much and helped me get client work, one of the best channels on UA-cam for environments and renders!
Awesome to hear that! Appreciate you watching 🙏
@@maxhayart Hey do u always use cycles for rendering in blender
Brilliant!!
This is Great!
very interesting processes, thanks
This was actually very helpful! Could you make more of these videos? Helps alot imo.. Thanks for your content!
Cool.. inspired me to have a go.
Unexpected ideas 👍
yhis man never fails to surprie me
Cheers Max.

thank you brother, you are very beginner friendly
Gold mine content thanks
thank you very much bro
Hell yea dude.
took my 15 mins to figure out how you applied location lol now I know its command + A!
I never used this program before so im a mega noob lol
кайф брат, спасибо!)

This was incredibly helpful. Seriously, thank you. Also: Your work flow speed is crazy… how long did it take you to get that comfortable in blender?
nice tut but it got a little confusing at 5:46 my edit mode did not allow me to insect so now I am just randomly selecting to see if I can get something close to yours.; beautiful work you. got. keep it up.. I would love to see more detail tutorials for beginners.
You must have a beast of a computer if youre rendering cycles that easily LOL. great video :)
thats what baffles me too, im rendering it with a 3060 and like bro, it takes half an hour for this to render

make more video like this ❤
Awesome video man. The emission from shapes doesn't show up in eevee for me, only cycles. Know a way around this?
do you have a video on what you do for settings? (following the first example) I had to mess around a lot to even get the emission to show up on the ground. after finally getting it it still doesnt feel just quite right with what you have going on. any insight or need to know things would be amazing!
any chance you could please add your keyboard prompts in your vids? would help so much, anyway love the tuts bro

you might be using the eevee render engine, switch the engine to cycles for reflection

hii how can i make my plane cast lighting on to other surfaces?
thabks in advance
10:16 How did you get the bloom effect tho? I did some settings here n there with the color ramp but didnt get bloom effect like this.. If anyone knows plz help
With the first one, i cant get the reflection on the bottom plane, do you have any idea how i fix this or whats wrong?
Hey guys, does anyone know how to keep the scene lit like his is at 14:26 ? When I apply volume scatter to the cube my whole scene just goes black..
I'm very new to Blender btw
Would really appreciate the help!
Hey Idk what i am doing wrong but if I’ll put the emissions up for the small plane object , it doesn’t do anything ??? Any tips or help ?
Can any body help.. I am working on blender 2.8.. I add rigify to the model.. But i can't select the bone head to move or scale..
Hey max, could you do a tutorial on coloring the ground in the skull render, thanks
I pretty much just increased the saturation in photoshop! Adding a bit a clarity and sharpness helped too. You can find my exact Photoshop process on my channel
How do I get the render preview box thats on the bottom right corner?
Hey Max! Can you suggest me the tutorial video for the beginner. I really wanna take suggest from You.
11:00 your ground looks a lot darker in areas that aren't mirroring the emission object, my whole ground plane is glowing from the emission even though it's not set that bright. I wonder if I am missing something
I changed the colour to black and that helped lol
when i increase the strenght of second plane in first example it dont get shine, am I stupid?
I'm not sure why but my emmision isnt affection other objects, its just glowing, any fixes? (I'm on Blender 4.0)
Edit: nvm i just had screen space reflections off :p
Switch to cycles too if you can!
change evee to cycles bro
Eevee can do it too, its just a few extra steps
In eevee turn on screen space reflections
@@RetrovexAmbientwhat’s the extra steps? My cycles renders are taking literal days
When ever I try to follow the first tutorial, the bottom plane will not reflect the light from the emissive plane. Not sure why.
Hi can someone help me with those assets from the free pack? I dont know how to implement them to my library. Can someone send some link on yt or site where I can do it?
Or just step by step how to do it?
how is your rendered view in cycles so fluent? mine is chuncky and i hace a 3060
can someone tell me is they have used eevee or cycles? I would like to know because in eevee it doesnt render but in cycles it's very harsh on my computer. So if someone used eevee could please tell me the whole set up and modifications? :)

enable denoise for your viewport settings :))) and set the samples to 128-512, around that range. also a big factor for this is your hardware so.... this might not work for you depending on your pc
Yes viewport denoising will help, but the biggest thing is that I’m using an RTX 3090. If you can upgrade your GPU I’d highly recommend it
Hey max I tried to use the arches pack but my blender keeps crashing whenever i drag it into the viewport. Please do help..Thank you in advance!
Does anyone know why my render appears extremely bright compared to the viewport shading ?
hey i have a question when i make an emmision on an obejct whenever i zoom in or move my camera its pixelated and lags
if you are in rendered mode its just the pc-compiter recalculating what is should look like.
does anyone know why I can't illuminate with the plane, nothing is reflected.
What is that side view screen there?? How to enable it???
12:56 Im following along but I did something wrong. For the rock skull material what did you plug the Normal into?? You brought in the color and roughness of the rock material but I cant see what you did with the Normal. I only see a purple line plugged into the Pricipled BSDF but where is the output coming from?
when you have a normal map you just plug it into the Principled BDSF normal point, it should then work
Excuse me Ser , what are your PC tech Specs?
It's the shortcuts that are killing me.
I try to follow step by step and I can get past the first 3 minutes. My emissions panel isn't projecting light? And its basically a few steps add panel and change emission settings. I am not sure what I am doing wrong here?
Switch your Render Engine to Cycles
my emission is not reflecting like yours at 2:10. can you or some help me? please
I'm having the same problem, please help :(
@@Peperoni9277 change your render engine setting to cycles
7:30 is it possible to put a video instead of an object?
I don't why but my emission does work in Cycles, but doesn't in EEVEE.
How do you get your human characters?
what asset bundle did you use?
Can u make harder progressions for these types of videos
I can, and I’m always trying to find a balance of not going too easy and not going too hard as there are people who will miss out on either side.
can someone PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS tell me where can i get some 3 storey buildings assets ? open source if possible
Is there a reason why I can’t see the reflection of my plane? (I tried turning it to cycles and I turned on screen space reflections but I still dont see anything)
check the roughness, the lower the roughness, the shinier it is. Or it could also be due to the low emission emitting from the object
change your render engine to cycles ))
What version of blender are you using?
Can you make a video on how to make money as a career in creating cool environments
I need this aswell
how do u make the outer square shrink like that? 08:02 and 08:13 whats the shortcut for this?
Go into edit mode with the tab key then press the edge select mode in the top left OR press 2. Hold Alt and then select all the edges and then scale them
can someone please tell me what is he doing on 8:14
