      @@nibblrrr7124 Omg, rewatching this I didn't realize how many CGI references Ian makes in the minute
      1. Donut tutorial of course
      2. When he UV maps the people, he says, "UV map to make a bunch of geeks in CG" aka CG Geek, another Blender tutorial guy who also does challenges and poked fun at the donut himself.
      3. "Make a corridor digitally" Corridor is a UA-cam channel and I think their full name is Corridor Digital, and they make short films with really nice VFX and Ian helped them on one or a few of their films
      4. And of course at the end, he says, "Someone came into the museum and drew prices everywhere" I don't need to spell that one out for you.
      Ian is patenting CGI standup lmao, you should check out his Blender conference talk. It's very informative, but feels very much like CGI standup, if that's a thing lmao.

    I recently saw some criticism of the work flow on these but It seems like these tutorial are geard toward people who need to make a lot of assets fast , like people making short films , or a one person project, so in these cases these tutorials are perfect for practical usage applications.
    Not every project can afford a week per asset, so thanks Ian ! You really help out small creators and artists!

    • @IanHubert2
      @IanHubert2  4 роки тому +383

      Oh thanks! Even more than making assets, I've been teaching a lot of people blender lately in "real life", and the biggest thing that keeps them going is that dopamine hit of "OH HEY! I made a thing!" (as opposed to being frustrated by all the hotkeys/interface) So as long as folks are beginners, I want to fit as much of those small successes in there as possible. And once they make a thing, the hope is that they'll look at it and go, "can I make this better?" and start tweaking/learning,- but I think that initial dopamine hit is key, haha

    I think my favorite part of these tutorials is that, while being extremely quick and funny, they also find a way to tell us about everything you need to know about a subject. like, in this tutorial we get to learn about neon signs in the first few seconds, but then learn about using a back fill behind the sign to give it a frame, using a second duplicated copy of the sign to make it feel more full, using different fonts to get a more "neon sign" looking sign, about using bezier curves to create custom signs, using a fresnel to mix up the color a bit, added realism by having power cables and supports, and also using custom fonts to get easily changeable signs that still fill our needs. All of that in one minute (and two seconds), truly astounding.

    My 3D Modeling/Painting/Animation teacher actually recommended that our class check out your lazy tutorials, now that we're no longer complete newbies at Blender. Your fast-pace explanations, while jarring at first, are honestly way more refreshing than having to watch 15-55 minute tutorials where the narrator assumes this is your first time opening Blender. You manage to give all the information that is needed, and the short explanations mean that I can easily replay the exact bit I need if I get lost along the way.

Move some vertices around to make it more natural, even better if you have some good texture maps for colour, normals and rust (metalness). Once you're done with the barrel add a seperate object, maybe a sphere, inside the barrel and press F3, search for 'quick smoke'. To add fire, click on the sphere again, go to the physical properties tab (little planet orbiting symbol in blue) and change 'smoke' (in Fluid>settings) to 'smoke+fire'. You're done! Of course you could go much further than that but that's just my basic way of doing it!

    Man i really appreciate that there is someone on youtube who is teaching us some really cool stuff in blender,you should make tutorials on some basics things like when you done making something or modeling something how you can put that into a real video and make it seam realistic,or lets say you want to put add neon sign on to a footage taken from a tripod,i'm trying to figure it out but there are not enough guide for total beginners

    Many youtubers started doing lazy tutorials after you but none of them were able to beat you.
