I just found out about Blender yesterday and everything looks so overwhelming but this video is motivation.
Awesome! That's everything I could hope for when making these :)
Once you get into blender and learn the basics them you can most of the things that Polygon does in this video.
The more you play with it the more it comes
Definitely try out that Donut tutorial from Blender Guru.
It's so useful to see the flow.
I'm really glad it's useful to you :)
The trick to cutting stuff into bricks is amazing.
It's a privilege to watch an actual master at work, thank you
We all have our days in the beginning stages of 3D modeling where everything is overwhelming and it seems like you have to master everything about it but then we watch videos like this one and see how simply just using a few certain tools properly it can be quite simplified to make a wonderful master piece.
Great video and great work, keep it up
Thank you! Yes, I especially look for easy and quick ways how to achieve something :)
wow I've always made models with a realistic look, and never thought making an awesome cartoony scenery is possible. Maybe because I'm new.
Sometimes we all need a little push to a new direction :)
this is soo coool, makes me wanna try making one oh well
Thanks! Go for it and share your results! :)
That is an exquisite use of the bevel tool. Bravo!
I am seriously impressed. You know the low-poly style very well. It's all of those small details that you put into everything that really makes it pop. Nice job
Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback :)
I can't believed I watched this from beginning to end. So inspired from this ❤❤❤
Been using 2.79 for like a whole semester that's why I'm very new to 2.8 but I really saw it's more convenient than the former.
Thanks for wathcing! :) Yeah, 2.8 is much much better and well rounded.
Dude that random colours you generated on the books blew my mind! Maybe because I'm new xD
Awesome :) Happy to help with some quick and easy hacks ;)
@@polygonrunway Agree! That part was mind blowing. I'm just getting started with the shader graph tools and to see uses like this are great
Watching this was like watching magic. I just got into learning Blender and the mastery of the shortcuts and ability is impressive.
Thank you for amazing feedback! I'm sure you can get the grip of the shortcuts really fast too :)
That random color shader is a fantastic tip. Thanks. This looks amazing.
Awesome! Glad to help :)
Man i started doing this yesterday, for hours and im doing right now too. yeah mine looks a lot like yours except i spent days lol. i very appreciate your skills and art. thank you. so far where i come its not even close to finish, now ill jump through the window for some fresh air. after i hospitalize, with my unbroken bones ill try to finish. but thank you man. learning is like dying.
It's step by step right? Keep it up! :)
@@polygonrunway yep, im slowing down the video and then watching the buttons u use, even i have a notebook to write them down. So im still doing it :) thank you 🤌🤌
as a newbie this stuff is really fun to watch, and useful. the random colours in the shader editor with the color ramp is something I can definitely use.
Awesome! Glad to hear that :)
I wasn't planning to, but I just watched this entire one hour video just mesmerising
I'm really happy it was so captivating for you :)
I tried to make this on my own it was good but this is much better especially the table and bootles in the back and the wooden planks of the floor
even though i knew all the tools here i did not know how to use them in different ways, example: i used to think bevel is only used to smooth things out but here you used it to make stuff look like rough wood
Yeah, that's the beauty of 3d modeling. You can discover new uses of tools for years and still find something new :)
I'm a beginner in blender and I can only see you as a god
Awww, man. I feel humbled :)
Like the chunky look of the objects, nice work!
YOU ARE AMAZING. Maybe from other more talented peoples perspective you are just okay (DOUBT IT) but from my total noob perspective YOU ARE A GOD! Just know some of us are CRAZY IMPRESSED WITH YOU.
Thank you! :)
I just started a program in game art and have begun messing around with modeling. This is so inspirational! 🥰
Awesome to hear that! :)
Holy shit. Your lighting was awe inspiring! Just started some low poly work myself as my first approach to 3D anything, and find the shading nodes a bit intimidating, and lighting is fun to experiment with but hard to make professional. Very impressed by your work around 54 min in. Impressed by the whole thing really. Even at the speed this went by, I feel like I learnt a lot. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you for your kind feedback, I'm really glad you felt inspired :)
I started learning blender for game development. I'm learning to 3D model to make retro games from the PS1 era that use the 3D pre-rendered backgrounds. Just want to say that I really love your style, and it fits my purposes exactly, so I've been enjoying going through your tutorials. So far, I've learned a ton! I actually did your commentary tutorial of the simplified version of this scene, loved it so much, I wanted to make the whole thing, so I came back to this video, and just finished recreating the whole scene! Going to buy your 3D illustration course on your website. Thanks again!
Awesome! Glad you like my content! Hope to see you in our course group then :)
I love following other people's workflows through videos like these. Thanks a bunch for sharing your great work!
Awesome to hear your feedback, thanks! ;)
Made one of my own model by taking inspiration from this video. It turned out great so thanks for the inspiration.
That's really great to hear! :)
This is unreal.. Fantastic. I was wondering how long have you been using blender/doing 3d modeling? :)
Thank you! 3d modeling for a long time but only a few years very intensively :)
That was such a delight to watch, from start to finish. Thank you so much for putting these videos up!
Thanks for watching! :)
Polygon: Creates a plane on the table. Me: A book! That is going to be a book! Aaaaand yes! Watched and love every second of this video. One thing.....you could have created a nice pillow in that chair. Considering the age of the person living there. Lol! Greetings from a Dutch subscriber.
Thanks for the feedback and insight! :)
Dude, how powerful your computer is, I don’t understand how it can withstand such loads and not sag. I think that you will reach your first millions very soon, I wish you good luck.
Thank you! Well, it's not that powerful actually :D
Yes, I already tried to make the same picture, and I realized that this does not need a powerful PC, and by the way I'm from Russia.
@@ivanbalandin4891 Blender's evee engine is great
Thanks a lot for the ispiration! I've just started with blender and this kind of things are just what i need to improve!
That's awesome to hear that. Much appreciated 😊
Wow!!! also polygon runway
The Music is so catchy.
So simple and yet so awesome
Thank you
1 room down, 100 more to go
Some light and shadows coming through underneath the door (from the outside) could be great!
Yeah, there is certainly a room for play :)
thanks for this tutorial, i learn a lot from this, and try to make almost the same like you, once again thanks a lot
Happy to help :)
Outstanding work! You should continue it and make a whole dungeon or castle!
Thank you! I would love that some time :)
Beautiful. I'm a web developer but have always wanted to integrate 3d graphics into my designs, I will use yours as inspiration. Thank you.
I come from the same background and thats why I started doing this. Have you checked www.polygonrunway.com ? ;)
@@polygonrunway Little shamless plug hey ;) I'll take a look sir!
learned so much from watching this! thank you
Thanks for letting me know! :)
44:06 Where the hell does he fill that bookshelf, anyway it truely amazing that he fix lowpoly problem that stuck so long.
Thanks! I might had a problem with recording when laying out those books :)
This has been an amazing watch!
this is amazing!!! i learned so much from one video 🥺❤
thank you for this! ⭐
You're welcome. I'm happy to be of help :)
Thank you, from Russia))) my ex's room))
😂made my day
ахах, жиза
hahahaa
increíblemente perfecto.
Amazing work! I'm not that good with 3D but its still interesting to see how you manipulate some objects to get a certain look.
Keep up the good work!
Thank you!
you are an ispiration... bravo
Thank you!
would definitely be interested how this same scene would turn out and how much faster it would be using an AI generated low poly geometry styler
Generative methods are definitely interesting and I would be interested to see that too :)
I can't help but think of the GameCube every time i see your intro XD - Nice work though.
I've heard this so many times, I might need to think about this :D
This is neat - keep up the good work!
Thank you! :)
What a lovely result! Great job. :)
Thank you! :)
Thanks, you got me back to 3D modelating =D
Awesome! :)
2:40 the lick
I would love to see an actual game with this art-style!
I think there are a lot of low poly flat shaded indie games, aren't there? :)
@@polygonrunway Can you name a few I could try?
Witch It
@@davidharmonharmon166 Thanks, I'll check it out!
this is so inspiring and it makes me want to take up 3d modelling, the only problem is my computer would die if i tried to run a program like blender
Blender is sooo lightweight. Just give it a try!
Yup, light as a breeze :) (until you start rendering heavy stuff, but you can begin really light)
@@polygonrunway Thanks to the both of you! I'm definitely going to try it out now!
Thanks for your awesome contents mate,
True artist at work
Thank you, I'm happy you like the content :)
@@polygonrunway
Stairs to wall, nice
Who said there was wall :) Maybe there is a cozy foyer :D
@@polygonrunway ok. Anyway that work is cool. 👍
@@CrucialRed Thanks! :)
nice one
I learned a lot from your video, thx!
Glad to hear that! :)
this is awesome
Thanks! :)
Looks like if kurzesagt made a 3d model 👀💕
Perfect for slow PCs)
(impersonating Gruntilda the Witch from "Banjo-Kazooie" series / puts on an old lady style voice)
I must say, I’m very impressed,
even derelict beauty should not be surpressed.
(returns as self)
Translation: Fantabulous job! Really nailed that medeival / spooky look, too! 👍🏻 👻💀🧹🔮 [INSERT WITCH EMOJI HERE]
Wow, thank you. I really enjoyed reading this :D
Nice...but that topology had me tearing my hair out
Yeah, I feel ya 😂Remember, it's just for illustration render purpose :)
Hey man, I love these! I was just wondering how you got the cuts in the wood? I saw you using the bevel tool on a vertex, but that doesn't work for me :(
I think he was using doubletap g to move the vertex along the line after the bevel. A bit new to this though so might be wrong
Use Shift-Ctrl-B to bevel vertex instead of the usual ctrl-b :)
@@felixhavrenne6358 Yeah, or ctrl+B and then V (I like that better because shift+ctrl+B is splitting my hand in two :D)
@@polygonrunway grab blendermarket.com/products/pie-menu-editor so that you can setup a custom pie for hand-splitting operations :)
A friend made this after watching this. Sounds like a solid teaching video as he discribt it. BUT... i'm still mad about the stairs looking like its running into a wall. LUL
Imagining a foyer doesn't help? :D
Amazing as always!
You are awesome!
Thank you
subscribed, this is awesome!! :D tnx!!!
Thank you and welcome! :)
OOHH I see some similarities from BTS, and im digging it!
Probably thanks to the black magic between the modeling of the door handle and the torch. Magic potions and books appeared on the shelves. 44:04. gj
Yeah, black magic is brought to you to by OBS crash :D
You inspire me so much ;u;
Awesome to hear that!
Neat
I am new to blender and started with blender guru who said it would be best to start with photorealism isntead of stylization. Do you think videos like this are something that I can use to learn the basis of some object and then make them even more realistic or is this low poly/cartoon art just something entirely different? The floor and the walls for example inspired me a lot and I'd love to make them work in a bit more realistic way.
Hey :) Well I recommend to start simple and low poly is a great way how to learn all the basic modeling tools and techiques
I love your work ;)
Thank you!
Man, was it relaxing for you to make such a project?
It's always relaxing for me to make these little 3d pieces. Well almost, there is sometimes time pressure which lowers the overall enjoyment a bit :)
@@polygonrunway that's awesome! It's really looking like you enjoying the process. I will try to learn by your tutorials so I can spend this relaxing time as well :)
Awesome!
Watched a lot of this little diorama videos of yours and love how all of them turned out! Great work and sooooo cute.
But I never get the very last step where at first the light looks ok-ish and then bang its awesome! Here: 56:08
Is it only pressing the actual render button?! Or do you do a lot in post? What am I missing?
Hi, thank you for amazing feedback! :) About that final render, I always go back to my renders and try to make them better for example next day, when everything is already recorded. I'm not doing any post, it's all pure Blender, I just play a lot more with lights, environment and color management in Blender.
@@polygonrunway thanks for your reply! I will give it a try myself :D Would love to see the extra steps next time though!
hey i like the style you work with blender. I dont work with it yet, but want to learn it, thats why i found your video here. But i have a question. On the spots where you add the breaked wood you put in new polygons on it, but I saw a lot of N-gons in your final models, isnt that a no go? I work with 3ds Max and if there is a polygon with 5 vertexes our prof always says its a no-go. I just saw a lot of people who work with blender, doesnt care about something like n-gons, thats why i ask..
Hi! It really depends on the workflow. I do mostly low poly illustrations that end up as static renders so I use a lot of Ngos and dont care about them :D When it comes to animation, or doing more complex geometry that uses subdivision for example, it's of course ideal to have a clean topology made of quads. So your prof probably means that :)
This video is brilliant but makes me kinda sad. I wish I could learn blender but I'm so into Maya that I'm scared of learning it; as ood as it sounds. I'm one those weirdos who thinks Maya is the easiest one to learn though it has evolved with time. Blender is def a beast of a system based on the stuff I've seen. Keep up the amazing work.
In my degree and 1st job in the animation studios I only used Maya. Came to new office and they had only Blender as its free. I thought I will buy Maya but its way costly plus I cannot collaborate. When I started Blender, I was so confused but luckily Blender 2.8 has a feature that turn your shortcuts to those in Industry softwares (Max, Maya).
I found modelling in blender feels so smooth and free as compared to Max or Maya. Give it a try on a weekend. Look for a tutorial starting from basics. Remember, use the 2.8 version of blender :P
It doesnt sound odd. New software is a commitment and time investment so I totally understand. Maybe just give it a try few times and you will see :)
You totally stole the Gamecube Logo!!! xD
Awesome 👌
Thanks!
Can someone said me how he made fire in 45:33? It's impressive
I know what you've forgoten! A cobweb with a spider!
That would be really nice :)
Hey, I loved the video, I just started with 3D modelling and watching it gave me a lot of pointers on what's possible and how to do it efficiently (ex: the rocks around the cauldron). Btw, what are you using to record these? (does it have a feature to display mouse input, or did you add that with another software?). I feel like being able to record with mouse inputs easily could help me post my issues on stackoverflow nicely. Thx.
Hi, I'm glad you find my videos useful. I record with OBS and the shortcuts are actually a Blender addon from Jayanam (Shortcut VUr)
@@polygonrunway Thanks for info :) I'm currently doing a scene similar to your LoL scene. It's tiring, as I have to think about every move, but it's getting easier and easier, and I love it :D
wow
What happened to the lighting in the crystal ball after render? It now seems to have a glowing orb inside of the ball rather than the ball itself slightly glowing/looking mystical.
I think I made some changes after the video recording :)
It's probably super obvious but I'm trying to make a table similar to this one and when I go to mirror the table legs they all clip together and are right beside each other, not sure what I'm doing differently
You need to move them out of the origin point in the edit mode
I'm not a 3D modeler but sometimes I used some 3D modeling so I have just one question: you copied a lot of times objects with the same aspect (like the floor and the staircase), but I know that exists an object that lets multiplicate objects keeping the ability to choose their position (it should be called array modifier), why you don't use it?
For the stairs I actually used array modifier, just did the frist two steps because of the variation. And that basically answers your question, I did a lot of variation after duplicating, so these single objects dont look so similar :)
@@polygonrunway Thanks a lot for your reply, I thought that it was a copy-paste.
Greetings Polygon Runway - Thank you for making this! I'm trying to follow along and get a little confused when re-creating the fire for the torch. Can you explain a bit more in detail about your process for making that, and in particular, what you're doing between 51:36 - 52:05? Thank you in advance :)
I'm mapping a color ramp to texture coordinates to create a nice color gradient resembling flame
@@polygonrunway Thanks!
Any reason you use planes to create cubic meshes instead of straight cubes, personal preference or maybe easier to unwrap UVs?
To have the origin point at the bottom of the object from the beginning :)
probably you cant bevel at two vertex for door than hit ctrl + shift + b =)
It's a great time lapse video of how you work but it can not be called a tutorial in any way. Interesting to watch though.
Why isn't witch house the background music?
Thank you for this video! is there a possibility of a real time version? Did this use ambient occlusion? For some reason I cant get my scene too look like yours where yours has distinct separation from shadow to light or one plane to another my buildings indentations are invisible because they blend in as the same color surrounding it.
You can slow down the video in youtube player ;) Check it out. Yes, there is ambient occlusion active in this scene. (I do not use it in cycles though, there it works differently)
You should bring this art to Grant abbits Discord and enter the competition of : "witches in the 21st century" deadline is 29th Oct midnight (BTS) ;)
Well I guess I would have to replace the book on the table with ipad or something :D
@@polygonrunway yes like that !! i would find it really cool if you do so and just enter the competition by just dropping in say hi and post your art in the competition channel at the bottom for fun^^ discordapp.com/invite/Y5QaDnT
Love the style! Do you do commissions?
Thank you! No, not at the moment :)
For anyone interested, when trying to solve problems like what is shown at 4:40 (where you need to select every other edge on the pot) it is helpful to use the Checker Deselect command (docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/curves/selecting.html#checker-deselect). If you select the Edge ring first (docs.blender.org/manual/en/latest/modeling/meshes/selecting.html#edge-ring) then do a Check Deselect you can select every other edge quickly without having to click each edge manually. Checkout this video by FlippedNormals for a more detailed video explanation on the topic ua-cam.com/video/EO-ikIsVdIo/v-deo.html.
Also great video, I really enjoy your format and content keep it up.
Really good. Was about to sign up for your course. But $200+ is way too much for me, sorry.
Thank you! I'm sorry to hear that, I hope I can bring some more accessible content in the near future :)
hey, i really love your work, help me a lot, but when i put the color to the books in the shader tool, just turn into pink, can you tell me how to solve this problem?
Did you switch the color ramp to constant colors? So there is no gradient in place
@@polygonrunway actually, looks like only show the error when it's on constant, on gradient take the colors of the chart
