you know using the primitive cube is a holy sin

I think that's a misunderstanding of old scriptures. Recent empirical studies indicate a small increase in good karma if you don't delete the cube.

Damn you beat me to it

For the random light streaks in the volumetric, one can also use a noise texture with the density and volumetric shadows enabled; this is more accurate to the natural random fog. Great tutorial btw!

One of the best blender tutorials I’ve seen, great work

Came for the sand tutorial, stayed for tips for improved lighting! Thank you for sharing :)

I've been following your posts on r/Blender and been waiting for this! Thank you sir!

Your blender environment videos are unmatched. The dreamy liminial atmosphere of each one is incredible...please don't stop making these tutorials

For zeroing out values (like when resetting the camera's location) you can press backspace while hovering over the value

Lots of good stuff in here! Appreciate it!

I love it when I come across a random video that answers %90 of my thoughts in Blender. You sir are amazing! Well "digestive" content. Subbed.

these are some incredible lighting damn!

This is amazing. Good job!

Dude, had no idea about blenderkit. Thank you so much for this tutorial, blenderkit just changed my game

This was actually really enjoyable to just watch, and not follow. Your calm voice and the optimistic mood is really quite soothing :)

thank you so much for this tutorial! You are great at explaining and I just love the artistic angle you bring to it and that you are willing to share your "secrets" is really kind of you. I know a lot of artists who think if they explain how they do things it will make them somehow less (worth less, less interesting, less magic,... I don't know how exactly to explain, I'm sure you've met the type though). Fun fact: I've been admiring your work on instagram for months and since I'm only now starting on 3D and I come from the Photoshop side of things it never crossed my mind before that this could actually be 3D - I always thought it was "just" a clever edit with stock images and Photoshop. I tried to find stock photos that would work to create something like this but just couldn't figure it out. Since it was never on my top priorities list or anything, it was much less dramatic than it might sound here, just something kinda nagging at me. Then when I started with blender around Christmas I started to view your images in that new light and realized you were using blender (first time actually looking through the tags... yeah, I know ^^). But it took me searching on youtube for "sand scene in blender" to find this tutorial -- imagine my surprise when it was you teaching and sharing your tricks :D Thank you again, so cool!

Thank you sir😊

you can add noise shader to the light instead using gobo effect

Love Sossusvlei. Absolute Gem

Thank you:)

Very well done and you have a pleasant way of presenting! I have been looking for a good sand tutorial, so thank you! Only minor criticisim I have is about those audio bumps, not sure if it's you hitting the mic or what but those are quite distracting and not pleasant especially while using headphones, otherwise good work! Thank you for sharing your art and knowledge!

Hey man, I loved this tutorial and the render, thank you for this! I wanted to ask what your computer specs are because rendering stuff on my Imac completely decimates my computer and to work in Blender I was thinking of trading this in and build my own PC, thanks bro!

Ahh!! you cool man XD

that`s so cool, remind me of tame impala

Hey loved the tutorial, so I'm trying to recreate the volume gobo but the the shadows that the gobo projects are too harsh, your render does not seem to have that problem, how do i get rid of that?

Hey I just liked this and wanted to make something like this what kind of system specs do you have?(for reference)

Amazing, thanks for sharing. I've had the same problem others have commented on, when applying the Voronoi displacement texture it looks crazy, not similar to your tutorial, wondering what went wrong.

can u pls tell me how did u remove shadows of scarttring on wall, while sun rays are scrattring??

whats the difference and uses for the principle volume vs the volume scatter? I looked it up but im too new to understand what the other words theyre referencing really mean. Does the principle just have more you can do with it, since like i saw there is a spot for emission that volume scatter is missing

Can you do something like very easy for beginners to understand?

I think the audio is desynced from the actions. It feels like you say what you've already just done. Like really cool stuff you're doing but it's really hard to keep up with it since I hear you say something and then have to rewind video each time to actually see you do it haha.
