This video has its ups and downs, but overall I'm very happy and I learned a lot! The red dice came out just spectacular in my opinion, and I really wish the blue and purple had as well. But overall, they make some really pretty colors! It will just give me an excuse to do more smoke swirls in an upcoming video sometime whenever I redo them! :)
I can 100% say, that patience is rewarded in this case. I would only work on 1 dice at a time if I were you. I tried to do 4 different colors due to a time constraint, and so some of them failed. Had I been a more patient boi, it would have worked out much better.

"blue is always darker, I don't know why that is" It's due to something called luma. It's basically a measure of how dark/light a color must be to be vibrant. Vibrant blue will always be dark, vibrant yellow will always be light, and red is going to be somewhere in the middle.
ME AND SOME FRIENDS WERE WONDERING HOW TO MAKE THIS JUST YESTERDAY THANK YOU SO MUCH

@@Rybonator what happens when you run out of puns
I really appreciate how Rybonator shows the failures and, sometimes how to avoid them.
These are so beautiful and almost celestial looking! id love to see a mix of smoke with stars, great work as usual!!
Love the dice goblin design with the smoke.
i fell like you're dice quality doubles with each video
I actually made a set for a friend a little bit ago that was purple with neon pink swirls into it that turned out great the second time I made them. I used purple food coloring and neon pink acrylic paint. Since the resin I've been using as of lately is really think none of the colors blended into one thankfully and man, if they weren't going to my friend I would be using them now. They turned out way better then I expected. The first test I made of them I put went from the bottom to the top with my pipet and it didn't turn out great, it was just a straight line. The second test I made a circular motion while going up and thats what did it for me.

They will blend more visually rather than physically if you're using transparent pigment for the smoke, like the alcohol ink used here. An opaque pigment, like an opaque acrylic paint, will not blend visually. Acrylic paint also doesn't have the same consistency as alcohol ink, it won't spread the same at any resin thickness, so It just depends which look you're going for.
Oh man, man, man, man, this ultra transparent hard edge dice look so incredibly beautiful. Bro, even with all the hardships and hiccups you are outdoing yourself every vid.
Hey Rybonator, Thanks for making these videos, they're super helpful. Have you considered making a video on dice making without a pressure pot? I'm new to the hobby and struggling with air bubbles at the top of my sprue molds.

there really isn't anyway to make dice without a pressure pot or vacuum chamber. you need something that will pull that air bubbles from the resin

Hey there! So I actually have made some vids on that :) My 24k and glow dice don't use a pressure pot, nor do my older ones. However, I am happy to show more of that. Essentially you just want to do an opaque dice so that you won't see any bubbles in the dice.
Has anyone seen gelatinous cube d6's? I think that would be cool. They could doubles as minis in a dungeon.

All things considered, these look really good, and I actually really like that smokey effect; well done. 👍
I've always had aweak spot for dice with smokey swirls in them, and these dice? They really scratch that particular itch. Love 'em! A quick question though; Do you think it is possible to do a combo of these dice and the dice with a liquid filled center? Like a smokey shell with a liquid core?

Possibly, there is like a 90% chance you'll get a huge bubble that will ruin it, due to having to wait for the honey phase. But definitely worth trying :)
Damn. The black/purple dice set you did close to the end may be my favorite dice set period. Like woooow that is nice :O
I love the blue smokey set, and the red set! The way the colors reflect onto other clear sides and edges is just beautiful :) great video!
I'm so thankful for this video! Awhile back, I was playing around with different techniques and managed to cast a d10 that had a gorgeous smoke effect. Recently, I've been trying to recreate it in a full set. Between applying lessons learned through trial and error on attempts 1 & 2 and watching this video, attempt #3 is a success! Huzzah! Thanks for sharing your journey, tips & tricks with us.
These are so so so awesome! One might even say, these dice are smoking hot~
I'm never going to make or use dice, but I can't stop watching these videos!
Cool

I love the funky music at the intro
That failed purple set really looks like a dark amethyst :O
pouring the blue resin on top of the (mostly) solid resin gave me an idea. you should try making layered dice. like a rainbow or half and half or something where you fill part of a mould in a colour, let it set, then pour a new colour on top without removing it from the mould, then let that set, for clear distinct lines between the different layers
wow, I remember asking you to make this, and I'm so happy they came out well!
Really nice to have the visual difference of your smoky dice compared to normal ones! Seems like patience realllllly is the key to making these look great
jesus the puns at the beginning of most of these videos make me want to cry. (they're good puns tho, also love your content. me, personally i don't make dice, but its cool to watch these videos :D)
omg i love smokey dice! my first, and favorite dice set is clear with a grey smoke and it has red lettering, they are so perfect
I don't even know why youtube recommended this to me. I don't even play board games or D&D but i must say the dice are super nice! i've been loving the content itself lol
I cannot wait to see more of your Class themed dice. They're always so damn cool
I'd love to see some more tabletop/prop type things! I've loved those videos from you before and they're a cool change of pace from dice! :) (loved these sets btw)
Bruh, these are awesome. Rybonator, you’re talented.
You single handedly convinced me to start making my own dice. Thanks so much for sharing your techniques
i just started getting into dice making after watching your videos. and i'm having alot of fun
I am really glad you tried the gel paint. I am new to resin and wanted to preserve my wedding flowers. I wanted a pearly background. I did not want to spend a ton, either, since resin is already a huge investment. After many, many, many videos, I chose to try a pearl gel based paint. I have my first sample curing as we speak. (Practice round before trying with my actual bouquet flowers) You gave me great hope that it will work!
THE DND BEYOND CRITCAL ROLE COMMERCIAL CAME ON I’ve be waiting for a dnd commercial on this channel
You did it! You found new music! It's a bop!
Cool, pretty much how i thought itd go down. definitely glad to know the key details before getting into it myself
Looks really cool!!
Good Lords of the Nine, I've been hoping so so much for you to make a DIY on smokey tendril dice! Hell yeah
Hey, i just wanted to say thank you for the inspiration. I made my first 3 projects yesterday, and now waiting for the resin to cure. :) i think they will turn out really cool.
Amazing Vid keep up the great work!
I’ve always been drawn to shiny things rocks and such, thank you for indulging me
After giving up after so many failed attempts, your molasses tip just changed my life!!
That blue is so awesome!!!
That intro was lit
These have such a nice look!
Just on time, I was looking to find that technique for a shadow demon villain. Thank you so much
The puns before every video make my day.
These look so awesome!!!
The purple dice set look pretty with the bubbles
Love your dice waiting on resin to try this
You should do one with a small dice floating in a giant dice so you can roll with advantage and disadvantage like a magic 8 ball probably really hard to do but i think it would be so cool. I think your videos are really cool keep up the good work.

I'm experimenting with smokes of darker colors in much lighter colors, excited to see how the first major batches turn out!! I just noticed you use the same alcohol inks I do, too!
For sprues like I used in industrial casting class, I suggest using perfume funnels. I like the funnel shape, and the exit end has a similar diameter to some tooth picks.
I just saw your Instagram post as soon as the KZread notification came up.
Nice job dude!
This channel makes me wanna start making dice
I'm tempted to try this! I'm going to try to order my resin and things sometime today to make some dice for each member of my DnD group. We have an elf lich sorceress, human monk, Asamir(Idk if I spelled that right) paladin, and blue dragonborn bardbarian(me) and I think the sorceress player may like something like these. Might even make my fiance(our DM) a set with black and red on the inside.
The puns are pushing me over the edge. It honestly feels like Supreme Leader Smoke is reaching into my mind, lightsabers smoking.
I’m just getting into the hobby and love your videos! Have you done much with fine colored glitters, like nail glitter? I don’t want it to just sink to the bottom. Just a recommendation for a video I would love to see. As always, love the dice!
The black and purple, mm
THIS WAS AMAZING
I will say the purple dice with the bubbles kinda looks good to me. It’s like a deep deep dark sea almost. Very reminiscent of a football fish
If you are in/ just past that gel state, always check to see if you can get it melt a bit with the ligher or a high heat gun- it sounds counter intuitive (because heat speeds up the reaction and resin isnt "melty" like abs plastics), but sometimes it works and can at least allow you to level off or try to get a cap on- but dont overheat it- if it doesn't work or you mess up, don't keep trying because lots of actual dangerous fumes and it will bubble and burn.
Wow! Thank you!
Had a cool idea that leans into the bubbles, a nice light transparent blue for water and black smoke so it looks like an octopus inked
Looking great! I like your comparison to the blood slides from Dexter, since I wasn't too jazzed about those dice before you said that. That got me thinking - you haven't stuck things in dice in a while (I'm thinking of the M&M or shotgun shell dice). Wouldn't it be cool to do a sort of insect trapped in amber dice? I'm sure you could get some convincing-looking plastic bugs to get ready for the next Jurassic Park movie or something.
The silver on the red dice was the right call I thought it would be hard to see
I never understood the idea of putting patrons in a list, but boy howdy is is a blast seeing my own name on that list now 😄
Those black and purple ones would be a perfect set for my Necromancer. I need to try that out.
Hi! I wondered if you'd get that subtle effect more easily if you used some metal needle syringes. I know some woodworking supply places have them to be able to get wood glue into tiny cracks and stuff. It would make it easier to just squirt out a tiny amount. I think that purple color looks awesome towards the top where there's less of it, so something like this might help accomplish that.
For 1 Halloween I want tik be a game master. Im gonna get everything I need then watch all of your dice videos and make them all. Im also gonna include cards, poker, etc.
These videos have been so so helpful! :D do you have any tips for keeping chunky glitter from sinking to the bottom? :0
have you considered getting syringes for inserting colours? and also possibly pouring? cleaning may be a hassle, but might get some even better results with them :) You're dice are coming out so pretty! I loved how the shadow bolt turned out!
This is awesome 😎 I so want the fireball style dice. So many possibilities ❤️ I think you should do bbeg designed dice for the dms! Like the dragons, the tarrasque, etc I want evil dice 😈 🎲. Keep up the amazing work
10 seconds in and can already tell its gonna be great
I really like the purple ones! i would still use them even with the bubbles. I personally think they came out great! no bubbles would have been a bonus,
Ooooooooooo NEW INTRO MUSIC!!
They look amazing. I think the bubbles kinda work with the purple dice.
i've found using a single drop of alcohol ink works great for this effect. just drop a single drop on top after the resin is thick and just work it in with a toothpick a little bit, a small swirl, a few jabs and the result is awesome! more smoke effect and easier to control.
Another good way to help a smokey look is to use powdered pigments for the colored portions as the powdered pigment is heavier and it will sink over time. Also using a blunt needle syringe with a looonng needle will help as well

OPE, commented before watching the whole video
When working with resin, I've found using a lighter (I prefer the longer ones used to light candles) or heat gun can help pull bubbles to the surface. Molds should be fine with the heat, as long as you're not trying to use a blowtorch 😆😆😆
Hey, I've been watching your tutorials and your dice are stunning. I've started making sice of my own but my pressure pot from harbor freight has this pip in it. How did you get yours out to make more room in the pot?
In a previous video, you said that you were going to make a tutorial for making squish molds. In this video, you detailed some of the weaknesses of the ones you have, especially with the pressure pot. I would love to see how you would overcome those weaknesses.
Love this bloke Wait he auctually did my idea, i talked to him about making a spell dice roller when he made the potions he replied, and he listened Thats pretty cool, listens to his fans ideas And he used gold still so he did his objective for each video Ok sorry i keep editing this but you should do special chaotic neutral, lawful good, true neutral dice
Hi Rybonator, awesome video as always! I have a small question: Will these dice still be fair with the swirls in them?

Lol a pun about the puns, sounds about right for a Rybonator fan.
I want to make dice because of you!
I'd love to see an ice magic set. For whatever class, eldritch knight, evocation wizard, storm sorcerer, whatever. Just fun ways to illustrate the beauty and damage of ice in dice.
I know you've probably got the next class planned for your Class Sets, but after that I think a fun one would be Warlocks! You could have one for each of the PHB Subclasses, and they're all so aesthetically different
That’s so cool
The blue ones are beautiful! I am also looking for good UV resin dice molds. I dont really want to make my own, because if I would go all of the way and get silicone and a pressure pot but I dont really want to do that now.
Im so glad i found this channel! I want to make shiny click clack math nuggets for my boyfriend's birthday and i want to do it well
I haven't used the S&T molds, but maybe try cutting a vent into the lid to create an escape for the bubbles when you use a pressure pot/act as a small resin reservoir. I think you'd have more luck with them that way.
I have a couple of questions. I've seen smoke dice done many ways, including what is essentially petri without white ink. I was wondering if you mixed fresh resin for your colors, or set aside partially cured resin for them. Do you think that it would make a difference in how the colors spread? Or does that depend more on the consistency of the clear base? Do you think it would affect how easy the resin is to work with? I've seen it done both ways, but not with enough examples for my own estimation. I'll be working with one set at a time myself. Do you think that heating the resin before hand is manageable with one set? Thanks!
I know this is a little late but I clicked the link for the skillshare, and signed up the other day. Somehow this video was the one to make me finally take the plunge. 😆 I'm sure you did, but I hope you got something for me doing that, this is an awesome channel and I would feel honored if my small contribution helped in any way. ☺️
Hell yes
Hey @rybonator, I wonder if you could do a more in depth video or links regarding the ppe that you use? I want to get into dice making but I want to make sure I do everything safely and with the proper mask and cartridges and such. Thanks!
