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!

    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

  • @afriendlyfox
    @afriendlyfox4 күн бұрын

    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.

    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.

    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. ✌
