5:55 If you use the recently added "Active Camera" node this effect won't break if you change cameras, Edit: also if you stick a "Bake" node on the end you can lock the billboard's rotation to prevent flickering (alternatively targeting an empty placed near the camera could work too)

A week ago I played Granblue Fantasy Relink, and I really liked the environment, especially the sky. I really fell in love with the scenery in the game. Then I found your channel and this video. And this is what I was looking for, you are really amazing. Your style is very similar to GBF relink and I like this. Thank you for this amazing and easy to understand tutorial. Now I can express my ideas in the style I want. Hope you can continue to provide more these amazing tutorials ❤️

i think starting from empty blend files is where your channel makes the difference some people would just asume the viewer already knows the basics and they show stuff pre made thats a -1. Im a firm believer if it is a tutorial dont assume anything just go step by step like in this case.

@Damian_h I 100% agree, and I'm so glad you find value in my tutorials 😊 Being someone who also learns a lot from other blender tutorials, I've run into the same issue you've described, unable to fully follow because of things that were never explained. I will always try to make my content accessible and understandable to anyone no matter if they are a blender beginner or expert.
This is so helpful. Quick question, I'm trying to use this with the depth of field effect but it doesn't seem to be able to use the distance to the planes, instead it uses the distance to whatever object is behind it, any ideas why?
Finally a tutorial with look I want

Hey, thank you so much for your tutorials. I seem to be having a problem, and I'm not sure it's due to different versions of blender though (I'm on 4.1.1). For some reason, when connecting the voronoi and the gradient to the mix color node, and setting it to 1, the whole cloud becomes invisible, and sometimes it only shows the effect on one small part of the cloud. I'm not sure what could be causing this. If I reverse the order of connection on the mix color node, it works, but the particles become very squareish. If you know what could be causing this, I'd be forever grateful, your tutorials are great and I'm very thankful for them. Thanks again! Also, what is the purpose of the plane? Edit I've been messing around a bit more, and it seems that when I resize the cloud and make it smaller, the effect works, but only on a small radius around the origin. I'm so confused Edit I'm very stupid, I connected the object info location to the gradient, which you never did in the video. I'm not deleting the comment in case someone makes the same mistake as I did 🙃
Kurahara filter with viewport compositor? The filter is in the latest blender but don't know if it appears in viewport. If it does, that's a game changer for anime environment in general.

Can someone explain why the normals needs to be passed from geo node to shader?
Hi your tutorial is awesome! but I was trying it within a scene in cycles and there’s this black artifact that appears on the inner planes that’s visible from the camera view, do you know if there’s a way to fix it? Or potentially turn off the normals inside the object? I’ve tried everything and idk how I’d fix it.
Could you please tell me how to animate these in a way that looks good?
@ComfeeMug
Ай бұрын
@ApurvaBhure Oh, all you would need to do is very gradually move them from one side, left or right, to the other. If you're going for the anime style, nearly all anime I've seen has only ever had clouds move from a right to left motion, or vice versa. It may break the illusion of 2D if you move these clouds closer or further away from the camera throughout an animation, which is why I recommend animating them perpendicular to the camera, moving on a clear horizontal line. I hope this helps 😄

why subtract by -0.2 when you could just add 0.2
@ComfeeMug
2 ай бұрын
@youness-atlas That's a good question! You can definitely do the same thing by just adding 0.2. But I like to change it to subtract so that the more you lower the value, the lower the midpoint of the sky will be, and the higher you increase the value, the higher the midpoint of the sky. It's just a little more intuitive for me that way when I make my own shaders, but again, please feel free to change this if you like it a different way :D
