How to Make Minecraft Thumbnails
Ойындар
This is how I make Minecraft thumbnails for my KZread videos. I explain how multiple ways of achieving this look from easy to slightly harder. I can't promise your videos will go viral but you might learn a few things along the way!
If you have any questions let me know in the comments or hit me up on Discord and I'll try my best to help. Thanks for watching!

I always wondered how you made these insane thumbnails
I like bringing the Minecraft world into Blender and just rendering. Like seeing other KZreadrs workflow.
Wtf that is absolutely insane, I assumed those were all rendered in blender, but its actual gameplay!???! Thats crazy

In blender you can add a big plane, and in ibject properties set it to be a "shadow catcher", that will make the object fully transparent, but other objects will cast shadows on the plane, that way you dont have to do the shadow manually
as a design bachelor, this is very creative and simple!
I WAS WAITING THIS MOMENT FOR YEARS!!!! thanks
Been waiting for this gansta video to see your process
i was waiting for this my whole life (yesterday)
In blender you can change the "Lens Unit" in camera settings from Millimeters to FOV, that will allow you to easily match the FOV on the screenshot, and in the render
I always wondered how these types of thumbnails were made. Amazing video LowRes! Can’t wait to use this type of method in my own videos.
This video suited me like a glove! I was researching how to make thumbnails for my videos when you release a brand new video about! Thank you very much from Brazil!
Great stuff lowres. Trying to learn a bit about these kinda things and this is really timely for me.
✨OINK✨
LowRes Man do u know how much time i been waiting for this but thanks man its awesome
your approach to this subject was so innovative!
This was a huge help, I’ve been thinking about making some Minecraft videos and this is definitely gonna help with that.
You are seriously and unbelievably AMAZING!! Such an inspiration, hope you're happy and have the best day ever!! Thanks for always sharing what you learn
Wow so much work. I would have needed this a few days ago, but good for the next video I guess :D
Wow thank you for the tutorial lowres!
thank you, awesome tutorial!!
omg THANK you from the bottom of my heart. I needed this tutorial
Thanks a ton! These look great!
Just starting my own channel, this is immensely helpful, thanks heaps!
Omg I was asking myself this question since last Wednesday specifically this is so weird but thank you for the video !
I thought it was a new episode of the Teaser series at first, but stayed anyway Love your vids dude !
17:00 you can actually just copy the character and make it black and low opacity, and just transform and adjust the perspective

10:35 You can actually change how to focal length is measured. Just below the text box is a dropdown menu where you can select it to be measured by fov. The focal length measurement defaults to millimeters on general projects.
OH MY GOD YES I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR SO LONG I EVEN COMMENTED THAT YOU SHOULD MAKE A TUTORIAL FOR THESE OH MY GOD I AM SO HAPPY THANK YOU LOWRESBONES THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (got a little carried away there sorry)
thanks for the advice your video helped me make a good thumbnail that im proud of
I have some painting experience, color theory knowledge and beginner modelling skills and I wanna say, throughout this vid you have been saying absolute facts. Btw, the white light on the edge is called a rim light. Yes, everything is technically a light source. For those interested, it's because light bounces off of surfaces and inherits their color, while losing some intensity, and when it then bounces onto the subject, the color of the light sorta mingles with the local color of the subject and that's what we see. The shadows have a blue-ish tint on a clear day outside, because we consider a shadow everything that the sun does not hit, but the skylight does reach there and therefore lends its blue color. A shadow next to a brightly lit orange wall for example might catch some orange bounced light and look more orange. This is especially useful to know if you're trying to light a player character for an indoors scene, or say Nether, and struggling to figure out the correct lighting and shadow color. Also attentive people might have spotted that in the thumbnail the faraway mountains look like covered in blue-ish fog and that's a yet another trick also used in painting called atmospheric perspective. In the essence, it just means that the colors of objects that are farther away have less contrast and shift to the background color. At dusk they might shift towards red-violet hues, and in the Nether you could shift it to the background color of the respective biome. And another trick, which has more to do with composition: turn a black and white filter on and see if the character or a focal point are clearly separate from the background. If everything in your thumbnail seems to be of very similar shades of grey, it might make it less eye catching and less readable.
this is amazing work :)
thx for the tips!
For the player shodows, you can add a plane and rotate and move it to match the background's perspective, then you can set it to be a shodow catcher in the object properties. Automatic trensparent shadows that match the perpective fully. That's what I do. But for more stylised shadows, your method is way better.
Babe, wake up, there's a new Lowres vid after a while...
awesome video it really helped me 👍
Yeaaaaah W video i need this tuto thanks
I know Im annoying for asking this but when are we getting "The Hammer" music?

in blender you can add a plane as shadow catcher object so it renders the shadow but no the plane and then you can skip the photoshop part
you can use fspy to find the corect angles and fov also you can ad a sadow catcher on the ground to get the sadows
Aweome tutorial!! Have you seen a sparkskye thumbnail before? :O
you are WAYYY too underrated

Thanks so much for sharing this information with us 😅🤗, as for the blender part, MCprep is a cool addon, not gonna lie, but I'm working on making minecraft rigs for blender with the same simple style as minecraft trailers, which wouldn't only include the player model, but every single mob in the franchise, vanilla, exclusive to BE & EDU, unimplemnted, removed, unused, and also mobs from the other games, I'd also include blocks and everything but tahts later 😅, when I finish this project I'll say (maybe by a video on youtube), but you can also continue using mcprep, it's actually pretty awesome
Great video mate - facing thumbnails issues at the moment! Last vid did almost 2k and new vid is bombing! Trying to fix up the new thumbnail!!

Hey lowres, will you be updating your modrinth pack to work with 1.21?
He finally remembered this channels password
Other Alternatives to blender are Cinema 4D and Mine-imator. Mine-imator is considered easier than C4D and blender, but has a few shading issues on low specs. While Cinema 4D has better quality than both but costs money.
Could you show how to download and setup replay mod plz
legal :)
10:49 i think u can just change milimetters to fov in blender i use it a lot for mc renders. 40 fov is around 85 smth like that
20:03 Kind of wish you kept in the editing out of the tree, only because I'm curious how you removed it so cleanly, there's a gradient in that sky so thought it would be hard to match it so perfectly like you did as if the tree was never there.

Hey, blender user here! I really like your approaches to creating thumbnails. I found the tip at 17:50 especially neat. Thank you for sharing! I suggest using shadow catchers in blender to add shadows, eliminating the need to do this in compositing later. Here is a good tutorial on the subject: kzread.info/dash/bejne/eX17rcutYciZpZs.htmlsi=uB9mtX9b3dJPsHgb. Additionally, there is a free tool called F-spy that you can use to match the camera angle of a scene for use in blender, eliminating the need to fiddle with the camera angles. (Also, I think your blender is a bit outdated. The current version is 4.1.) Great video, I just thought I would share these tips in case you find them useful. ✌
