Animated Mandala's - Blender Tutorial

In this episode, you will learn a quick and easy method of creating and animating Mandala's. These Mandala's are fantastic for a variety of different use cases such as audio visualizers, motion graphics, and can easily be adapted towards magic effects for game engine and vfx pipelines.
This tutorial will give you the barebones to work from, and I encourage you to experiment, adapt and modify your Mandala's to improve what you have learned here.
Here's a couple of suggestions from my previous projects; Try using a wave modifier on your Mandala's for an extra layer of interest. Try experimenting with moving vertices around using proportional editing to give your Mandala's depth. Try making your Mandala's in XYZ coordinates instead of just a flat X & Y plane. Experiment with different bevels in your curve settings.

    It's great to have you in the blender community, blender can be a steep learning curve to begin with, but you get passed that initial stage of navigating the user interface you'll start skyrocketing. Just be patient, stick with it and you be at the top of your game before you know it. Thanks for watching, liking and subscribing, it is really appreciated. Have a great day and level up 🚀

    Great demonstration of your technique, with very attractive results. I was wondering how you achieved the large control points on the curves, and finally pinned it down to preferences->themes->3dviewport->grease pencil size. Grease pencil size? Hah! Thanks for the video. Subscribed.

    Thank you, it's a simple but effective method. Always good to make use of the UI features, 3dviewport in preferences is understated.

    @6.27 seconds when installing the light I do not see radius, max bounce, cast shadow or multiple import. Mine says diffuse, spectacular, volume. Did I miss a step somewhere or don't have something correct? When pressing play the light doesn't shine at all. I'm trying to match my screen to yours and make sure everything is identical but some small things are not there.

    ​@@ElectroHeart303 Apologies for the late response! The reason is because my render engine is set to cycles, and I think your render engine is set to eevee, You can either switch to cycles render engine to access the same light settings, or you can continue with eevee and adjust your settings to match my results. I hope this helps, and thank you for taking the time to watch this content. Have a great day and level up 🙂
