How I Recreated a Studio Ghibli Scene in Blender | 'My Neighbour Totoro' in 3D
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- In this video, I'm gonna show you exactly how I recreated a studio ghibli scene in Blender. More specifically, it's this super popular scene from the anime movie 'My Neighbour Totoro' that I'm going to recreating in 3D.
It took me around 3 weeks to make it from start to finish, because I really didn't want to rush it. And honestly, I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, and I'm excited to show you how I made it.

It seems that the lofi beat that I used in the beginning (which had the same melody as a piece from My Neighbour Totoro) got picked up by UA-cam as a cover song and now all of my revenue from this video will be going to the original creator of the song just because of the melody. That's quite a shame. Due to this fact, not only am I not going to earn anything from it, but it has also affected my reach with this video quite a lot.
Since I won't be making much profit off of this video, I'd highly appreciate it if you buy this scene on Gumroad. You get the Blender and Photoshop source project files. Of course there is no obligation to do so, but if you want to support me for my work on this one, that's the best way to do it while also getting a good return. At the end of the day, even I want to be able to make a living out of this so things like this go a long way in supporting me to do so. Thank you for understanding!
Really cool. The hard work shows in the final result.
Thank you so much! 🧡
As a fellow 3D artist; I am astonished by how much I need to learn to have the conviction you had when you created this wonderful piece. I'm positive this took you countless hours to make; everything from the modeling to the UV texturing of those sculpts. Not to mention your attention to detail when using Substance Painter. Also, that FBI skit, unexpected but hilarious. Great job!
Thank you so much, it's honestly a great feeling when you compile all of those little steps and bits and pieces of recordings of all of those days into a single video. And comments like these are very encouraging and make the whole process of editing together the video worthwhile. By the way, it's all in Blender, I never used Substance Painter for this.
21:16 Oh my god😂😂😂😂😂
😆
is this some pdf file joke?
@@mohitrahaman I am not sure if you're being sarcastic and I would probably get an "r/woooosh" from someone but he said he was gonna work on Satsuki next so he "unwrapped" her body(she is underage. get it?) and then the whole FBI thing happened and then he clarifies by saying he uv unwrapped the base mesh. Basically a sexual innuendo.
Shreyas Pai Pretty sure the joke this guy made was pdffile=pedofile
@@smalliesmalls9601 Hahaha I see it now. So IT WAS an r/wooosh for me xD
I work a lot in After Effects and Illustrator, and to see a Blender/Photoshop workflow is really inspiring and exciting to see. You did fantastic
Thanks a bunch! :D
fantastic video and final render, i hope to see you succeed greatly in the future because you are super skilled! :)
Thank you! I really appreciate it
The production quality here is INSANE! Keep up the great work! you deserve way more subs.
Thank you soo much, really glad that you like it! I will keep working on improving my videos :D
One day you'll have 10million subs.
Mark my words
This is one of my new fav videos, the way you explain everything feels like i could follow step by step. 🙏❤
Seriously fantastic work on this scene. All of us Blender users are in this together so when people share their work the way you have, everybody wins
Thank you! That's exactly why I try to share as much information as possible in these videos :D
This is such a great video! Love creating ghibli stuff myself and recently finished re creating a scene from nausica valley of the wind. Keep making stuff this good and I’m sure your channel will grow huge!
Glad you like it! Thanks a lot for watching!
This is awesome, thanks for sharing your process!
You're welcome! Thank you for watching!
This is super cool !! its amazing to see recreation of epic scenes and your recreation from 2d to 3d is super amazingg !! keep up the good work digga :)
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it
The final image indeed looks awesome! Thanks for sharing 👏
Thank you! Happy that you like it!
so much work bro, well done!
Thank you!
Dude you really motivate me to do more blender :)
I really like how you're being honest with yourself and your audience, pointing out that your characters aren't perfect. There are too many fake Blender gurus on UA-cam who pretend they are the absolute masters while they aren't that good.
This is super cool. Keep up the great work!
Thanks man! You too!
Awesome man!!! Congrats
Thank you! :)
This is awesome man! I loved your honest, direct intro :)
Thanks a lot!
Man, this is really cool! Love this!
Thank you!
Wow... That's a professional level detail...
I hope Ghibli notice your hard work
Thank you! ❤️
I just really love your videos! They're really entertaining and helpful!
Thank you so much!
This was awesome! Love Studio Ghibli!!
Thank you! Ghibli is love
Wow u got a promising future ahead of you. Well done. Excellent model
Thank you so much! :D
That's so beautiful, your work ethic inspires me. Thank you : )
Thanks a lot!
Gorgeous and insightful
Thank you!
The hard work payed off that was amazing
Thank you! :D
Dude this is one of the best blender videos I've seen! That hair trick is next level. No shame in starting with a female base mesh either, who says you need to do all the hard work! lol I love this dude. Imma subscribe I think.
PS. I love that trick of using the lattice too! So many good tips in this video
Thank you so much! Means a lot to me!
Wow that is absolutely fantastic man
Thanks a lot!
Amazing work. very detailed explanation. You have some talent, you seem to be pretty fast, and to know your tools well enough to perform the work, which is a gift, Keep up with the inspiring scenes. These are great tutorials.
Thank you so much! Means a lot to me
very nice, really appreciated it, keep posting m8
Thanks!
Looks great!
Thanks Gabe! Great to hear that coming from you :D
This is amazing, good job man!
Thanks!
Great. I watched your Moss video and it was great too. I like the complete explanations since learning is the goal but I bought your moss, etc. textures anyway. Looking forward to more from you. I mostly can just give 'likes' because I have a lot of creators to encourage but if you keep making them I'll keep liking them.
That means a lot to me! Thanks a lot for your support
Awesome Bro!! Amazing
Thank you! :3
Watching this was really inspiring as someone who's just getting into Blender modelling, keep up the awesome work man!
That's awesome to hear! Hope you can apply some of the tips in the video in the future :)
@@RenderRides Definitely! I find that the most intimidating part of modelling is knowing that there a thousand ways to slice things, so I like that you include your forward and backward process in your videos!
@@briantsang1831 a good quick reference on what does what in blender, look up Royal Skies LLC. He does like 1-3 minute tutorials on everything (how to UV, rig, etc) but it's more for people who know how to do 3D in general, a great way to learn the tools but not the basics.
I really enjoyed watching your progress keep it up.
Thank you, glad you like it!
BRuh it got in my recommendation nice content keep it up
Thanks!
While I don't agree with the logistics and efficiency of some of your methods you used for this (because some of them were unnecessary and too resource intensive) I really appreciate the effort and I'm happy for you as you were able to produce a really good looking final output. Keep up the good work man.
Thank you so much! Can you please elaborate on which methods you thought could've been more efficient? Just want to know for future references :D
RenderRides The body shape probably could’ve been made in poly modeling at low poly with only scale and proportional transform. You could get the shape in a few minutes, then subdivide and sculpt detail. A lot of it I felt switched to detail and high poly too quickly, especially with the ears, a lot of time was spent getting the shape in sculpt instead of just poly modeling the shape then moving it to sculpt. Poly modeling shapes and then detailing with sculpt is a fast and performance light workflow.
@@smalliesmalls9601 Love your comment. I agree with the part where you said I switched to high poly too early with the ears. At first I felt like the proportions were okay until I watched some clips on UA-cam to find out they were totally off. Still, I'm happy that I was able to get the shape to my satisfaction.
RenderRides Kinda like traditional art, it’s best to get proportions with low detail before moving further. But for 3d it’s mainly because its much easier to make large changes in a shape at low poly.
I think some things could be made in a different way. This video by Blender Guru goes through some other methods. ua-cam.com/video/Ebx2qbBlvh0/v-deo.html
This looks really great!!!
Thank you! :D
I had in mind i was going to watch a ghilbi movie before bed. but this came into my feed outta no where. and I'm not complaining. 😅 loved the whole video! subbed
Appreciate the support! Glad you liked the video :3
Very great work
Thank you! It's great to see you here!
BRO THATS SO COOL it's amazing
Thank you!
Thanks again for all of your videos
My pleasure! Thank you for watching them!
Keep up the great work man! I hope you earn more subs because your content is very impressive!
Thank you so much!
great work man. this is inspiring me to download blender and start learning today.
That's awesome to hear! I wish you good luck :D
This... Actually looks better than the original by quite a bit. It is very faithful to the original while giving it much more depth.
Wow!! Really Cool!
Thank you!
Very underrated channel. Excellent job on the render btw.
Thanks a bunch! :D
Really good video. Thanks for the content!🙏
Thank you so much!
Very well done you can be proud 🤛🏽
Thank you so much
your video gives me a hope and inspires me
Thank you for your kind comment! I'm happy that I'm able to inspire you.
amazing work!
Thank you! :D
Never seen 33 mins pass so quickly..amazing stuff bruhh..
Thanks a lot! ♥️
Its awesome!
Thank you!
Mano, que medo. Bom trabalho, tá incrível!
Dude, I'm scared. Good work, it's amazing!
:)
Thank you! :D
Aaaawwww! You're so cute and adorable. And damn what a talent already. Keep up the great work! 👌🏾🙏🏾
Haha thank you! :3
Great stuff. Like your tutorial
Thank you! :)
I had it open whilst making my own scene, it is nice looking and hearing what you are doing, I am relatively new, so this is waaay to complex for me (a lot of your other videos helped me a lot though). I do pick up a lot of tips and tricks whilst listening that are QoL improvements. Overall you make very good content, I hope you will make a lot more hehe.
That means a lot to me, thank you! I hope I can keep making helpful content in the future too :)
Amazing work. Wish I had this much patient in me.
Thank you very much! Honestly, I was very impatient with my scenes before and used to rush them just to finish them, but once you recognize your limits and try to push them once, you'll be surprised with what you're capable of :D
wow amazing!
Thank you! :D
Great video! Got so many good sculpting tips.
Thanks! Glad it was helpful :D
RenderRides these work flow videos are amazing!!! Please keep them up!
I will, definitely! Thanks for watching!
masterpiece
Thank you! ^^
Amazing tutorial ❤️❤️❤️ learnt a lot
Thanks! Glad it was helpful
Wow do much useful information!
Thanks!
wow awesome bhai!
Thanks! :D
great work
Thank you!
Great work. Some puddles on the ground reflecting the models would be pretty cool also.
Thank you! I thought about it but the original image didn't seem to have any so I didn't bother haha
Genius!
♥️
great job bro
Thanks!
Great stuff, keep it up! And I'm not even using much blender in my projects... XD
Haha thank you very much!
Too much informations in a single video 😍😍cool
Glad you like it! 😄
Man You are good at it... I wish I could sculpt like that.. But I suck at it. Anyway that's hell of a nice work. Good job 👌.. Keep it up.
I suck at sculpting too xD But with one of two things out of your comfort zone, you get a lot better. Thank you so much for the compliment! Glad you liked it!
Great work! Funny how I got the same idea almost exactly the same time, started modelling a totoro intended for animation and holding an umbrella, about a month ago. I gave up because I've never sculpted before and the mesh turned out horrible for rigging... Got a nice still frame though, but will definitely give it a new try now and follow your tips! Thanks!
That's lovely! Looking forward to seeing what you create :)
Well done agniv ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank youu! ♥️
Epic!!
Thank you!
amazing
Thanks! :3
Bosh bosh!!! Killed it again. Thanks tho. 💙
Thank youu! :3
Awesome Bro 💫🤩..
Thanks! :D
Dude! It's just so good. I found your channel from the Red Deer scene tutorial, it was dope! Anyways, can you tell me what your PC desktop specs are? I'm looking for references to upgrade. Thank you for your awesome videos!
Heyy thank you so much! Watch my 20K special video where I go over my previous and current builds to get a good idea.
Dude, I hope the calculus UA-cam tutorials my kids watch are as authentic as you
Hahaha thank you! XD
Good job man
Thank you :D
6:46
Like pointing a Gun XD
most random analogy XD
XDD
This is hard work.
Thanks!
trabalho incrível! parabéns!
obrigado!
Good wallpaper to use
now that was exhausting!
I apologize 😆
@@RenderRides all for the good reasons!
Dude u rock
No, you rock!
thanks for sharing👌
Thanks for watching!
very nice
Thanks!
The final result looks amazing.
By the way, I'm very sorry if the video if not appropiated for questions, but...
I'd like to work on models similar to those found on the 3D Ace Attorney games, and I'm very, very new in 3D modeling. Would Blender be fine to sculpt AND animate some very basic animations? Let's say, some facial expressions, hand movements, etc.
Again, cool work of yours!
Thanks a lot for your comment! If you're going for an NPR look, it should give you a lot of freedom with making characters. Blender is more than capable in the aspect of sculpting and animation, so you can go for it blindly. The 'basic' animations which you mention here are actually quite complicated, since they require a fair bit of knowledge about rigging characters. I'd highly recommend that you get a strong hold of the basics of using Blender first, and then slowly create and finish some characters by watching tutorials. I can also highly recommend getting a Blender Cloud subscription and watching the courses there as they are created by professionals with a lot of experience in that subject.
Thanks again for watching, and I wish you good luck with your projects! :D
WOOOOOOOW
Thanks :3
Cool
Thanks!
best settings for Concierge Render plz tell btw awesome job keep it up
very cool project, you try to do as much as possible with blender. Respect +1 sub
Thank you! :D
Too good🤩
Do you do it with mouse or do you use graphic tablet?
Thanks! I use both! :D
bro there are guides on how to get ghibli style of cloud, grass, water etc but regardless great work!
Yeah I'm aware. I just didn't want to copy the style and keep the 3D-ish look if you know what I mean :)
Good job ..
Thank you so much! :3
You could've used the pose brsh to move his arms but using a separate mesh for the arms is muuuuuch easier to pose. Also sculpting tip, use a Lower resolution first to block in the shapes, then increase the resolution, will save you so much time.
Thanks for the tips! I was already in it deep when I realized I should've used separate meshes XD
@@RenderRides ye also the common mistake everyone makes when starting sculpting is that they make like a 1000+ polygon mesh but honestly if you keep it to like a couple 100 to get the base shape and then upping the rez later will not only help with sculpting speed but it would also help not melt your computer.
Looks so pretty! I could never be as good as you Omg 😍 keep going! You are very talented. I never tried digital art before but it looks SO difficult ( as I am a traditional artist). Congrats on this work! 💪🏻🥳
I found your channel because I just did a ghibli studio scene myself 🥰
Thank you so much! Don't let this video overwhelm you, this is literally a whole month of work compressed into 30 minutes haha! Just take it step by step, watch and follow tutorials to make your first few scenes until you get the hang of it. Then you can try to make your original scenes following references, and watch videos for any technical help that you might need. Besides, if you're coming from traditional art, you might feel more comfortable in the 2D workflow of drawing directly on the canvas.
Anyway, I wish you good luck with your digital art journey (also drop a link to your ghibli scene ;D)
RenderRides thank you! I’ll follow your advice 😊
