10 Minute Tutorial - Abstract Sci-Fi Animation in Blender 3D 

For anyone looking to animate it. Go to frame one, open the node editor and select the outer material, add a Value node, connect the value node to the W and then right click the value number itself on the value node, add keyframe. Go to end frame or next frame you want to animate, repeat, add keyframe. Should be good to go!

Love how your tutorials cover a wide scope topics (comp,lighting , shading etc) while also achieving a specific vision! You’re the man!!!

Hey Ducky. At 9:07 instead of opening up the RGB color selector (to "steal" the hex code), you can simply hover over the color block you want to copy in the principled BSDF shader, hit ctrl-c to copy and then hover over the color in the colorramp which you want to change, and then hit ctrl-v to paste. Save yourself 4 unnecessary steps. Blender rules!!!! Love your tuts as always. This one had especially great tips for making objects pop on a plane white background. Thank you.

How make this in blender? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-S0Ret6hzwaI.html

Wondering why my camera won't snap to view, i press what i'm meant to, i'm on windows .. thanx

Wow! This is such a beautiful effect. Thanks for showing us how to achieve this.

I've followed along using Metaballs but I am trying a cylinder. No luck. Do this only work with Metaballs?...Anyone?

I think you should explain more on how each geometry node works with each other. I can follow the tutorial but I have no idea what each node does

animation?

i feel like your lighting techniques are so flawless .. they say thats pretty much the one thing that can always be improved even years of learning

at 5:45 you say Ticket to animation, but how in fact do we animate this? :D I love it by the way thank a lot for that!

where is the animation tutorial? You did only picture. Where is continue?

big fan of you always ducky, thanks for the tutorial! is there any possibility that you could ever do a tutorial explaining a bit of how the nodes work? like how do they work mostly? or the changes blender made on the nodes on this new version (what does 1D,2D,3D features in nodes mean now?)

just checked this channel for the first time in a while glad you’re still uploading! can’t wait to try this one out

now how did you get that principled BSDF

I am starting playing with Geometry Nodes and yout tuts are a big help, easy to follow. Nice! Btw, interessting results when playing with the distortion value.

Great tutorial, although I can't work out how to access the till to key (is that the name?). I can't figure it out and it is making it difficult.

How did you do the animation afterwards?

Awesome man! just made my own version of this, and rendering the animation out now! will definitely tag ya when its done! Was stuck in a non creating mood last little bit, so thanks for helping me get started again!😁

As I am a complete beginner with Blender, perhaps this is the silliest query of all: if you rendered the output as a PNG in the end, how can we obtain the animation you shown at the beginning of the video?

😂 am glad am not the only one to go "opps" during recording. Great work, I've not worked with meta balls.

how to break instances connection?

Sony Walkman vibes!

How can I loop this animation?

Hello!!! Loving your channel and all your tutorials so far. I seem to have missed a very dumb detail -- what's the hotkey to zoom in/out while in camera view? I tried everything but I didn't manage to zoom out the camera, lol, I had to go outside the camera view again to get it again (managed, but your method is way better!!) I mean that moment at 6:24

I take it back, these tutorials are not easy to beginners. At 8:20 you went somewhere and completely lost me. That, and I definitely missed where you show how to animate this.

Hey, im trying to add the Texture coordinate Node but it doesnt appear. Im trying to animate that W value but i dont know how. Any help?

I love these videos because I have to slow them down to like 0.5. So now it's ingrained in my head that all 3D Artists are drunk.

How do you loop 4D noise textures?

I am HOH and read the sub titles. What is TILDE Key and how do I activate it?

Was supposed to be: 10 mins tutorial in how much time i comleted the 10 min tutorial: 2 hours

Great tutorial. Thanks.

Uh oh, so the moment I added in the Smooth modifier, all of my metaballs started to look like they were flaking apart.

Love your tutorials, I just have one Q Will I be able to export this animation as alembic file to Unreal ?

MASTER DUCKY You are awesome! I'm one of your students! Thank you for your tutorials ffor the noobs like us!

In render viewport your shadows looks darker like did you add AO or something in the sittings?

As a new user I followed you to 2:38 of the video and was wondering how you could make that single selection in the middle without selecting all of them?

The object glitches when you animate it unfortunately.

hey, what are your system configurations for this in Windows to get a good render speed?

great video. It is possible to export it intoo FBX to create it into AR?

Thank you so much for these tutorials man i hope you reach 1 million subscribers one day

Really enjoyed this tutorial. I just found your channel. This is an amazing treasure trove of design and techniques in Blender. This should really make people question the value of paying for 3d software like Cinema 4d and Redshift, which is over $1000 per year, which is what I have been using for the most part.

I'm so happy I came across your channel last year. Another killer tutorial. Cant wait to give it a go once I get home later.

ı have proplem a don't know how to do the animation for this prodect

Hi, Which camera did you used to record yourself????

I’ve done this one going on my 4th run. Each time I learn something. Like don’t animate the skin 15000 points over 150 frames. Wow that was moving. The last one I couldn’t find what I hit . Looked great in viewport but rendered to almost full whitewash. This one I’ve spent a few hours playing with all aspects of lighting and placement. It’s a little easier now that I know what I’m trying to achieve and can picture the rendered version without rendering each single change. @TheDucky3D - Thanks for sharing your skills with us. Easy to follow and no annoying club music with a highlighted mouse pointer circling every single thing. I tried the damn donut a few months back. I find it much easier to do short, yet satisfying projects like your 10 min tutorials. They may take me a few days but I learn more in the end.

Copy Attributes Menu Addon (comes with blender) is very useful with aligning transform and scale. Shortkey is Ctrl-C

Thankyou teacher 🙏🙏 I learnt alot from your videos

Hello, how to animate this project?

This is my kingdom come, this is my kingdom come.

Blender is just something isnt it

Great Tutorial! But you never showed the process of animating like you showed in the beginning.

Thank you so much for the geometry node tutorials. There very interesting. This video has helped a lot with a project i was having troubles with. Thanks.

Ducky where do you look to get these ideas? I love this style, but I feel like when I try to make something I feel like I'm just stealing from pinterest or dribbble

🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾

4:25 I do this constantly. Bloody windows lol

Which video shows me how to animate this?

You're lighting and style looks lit!

i thought they're called meatballs

And how to render it as animation?

para quem quiser animar abra uma janela com a timeline e com a agulha no tempo 0, va para a janela de nodes e clique em cima do nó de noise textura no parametro W clique com o botão direito em cima do valor e escolha marcar key frame apos isso mova agulha áte o tempo desejado e modifique o valor de W e marque outro keyframe da mesma forma selecione os dois keys frames na linha do tempo e com o botão direito interpolar keyframes coloque linear

Bro I really like your Tutorials. They are easy to learn 🎉

0:33 the ball on the bottom right looks like the Cinema 4D logo lol

you are the best bro 👑👑👑👑👑👑👑 all the support from capetown south africa

Are there a lot of requests for RU-vidrs to show their face on this type of video? Lot of RU-vidrs now showing their faces on normally disembodied voice tutorials and commentary. I must be in the minority here because it's become and epidemic. I prefer disembodied voice videos like Khan Academy because it allows me to focus on the material.

Woow 😍😍😍😍 Thank you!!! You give back my passion for blender 🥺

As always thank you for another awesome tutorial.

Would it be possible to animate the balls moving slightly and deform the metaballs mesh to follow them? Sorta like a "plexus" animation. Perhaps using the lattice modifier? Just brainstorming here. Great work Ducky!

can you a tut on animation? :)

thank you I got a cool render

Genius

Damn... I really love your tutorials!! Thank you so much^^

amazing tut

You could try this with the new experimental SDF nodes now.

Thanks yo appreciate your work.

That was really one of your best. Thank you big time

So simple and so beautiful

your awesome man

Amazing

waiting this since i saw it on insta.. thx!

😊👍

Man, I love youre Videos

Scene time+ noise texture 🔥

First one :)

i love it!

Hi how to sell blender projects in gumroad plz guide us

Can someone help me? How do I animate it?

Thank you Mr. Quack-you're a genius 🙏
