I Made a 3D Renderer with just redstone! 

Wow, this is very cool stuff! I like the way your brain works.

It's mindblowing when a team makes minecraft in minecraft. Now I can see an explanation of 3D rendering working in Redstone only.

bro made a 3D cube rotate in a 2D screen in a 3D game in a 2D screen mindblowing

Bro put redstone and linear algebra in the same video. I freaking love you man.

Some dude named notch. “I think some wire block would be cool so players can open doors. Let’s call it red stone! This guy:

This channel is so underrated. Teaching math and architecture of rendering systems in under 30 mins is insane. (matt > crafty)

ive never wanted a channel to blow up more. It low key annoys me that this dude with the awesome content hes making doesnt have millions of subs

This is, without a doubt, the best explanation of 3D perspective projection I've ever seen. Gonna bookmark this in case I need it later 😅

This video is amazing! And I'm not even talking about the MC magic - that is by far the best explanation of 3D -> 2D projection I've ever heard! I've been trying to get my head around it for years! Thank you

18:47 glad to see 3B1B’s work being shown outside of the math sphere, love his videos, his linear algebra & calculus courses are some of the best out there for being free

As a person who has watched countless videos and articles explaining 3D rendering, this is by far the best. Like seriously. Incredibly intuitive. Thank you

It's incredible how this could be similar to real world computers, the part where he was flipping the levers was like when people had to flip individual levers just to do something on a computer, then when he went to the redstone schematics, it reminded me a lot of punch cards

This video was released 9 months ago, I started watching it but I couldn't get to half of if cause it was so complicated that I got bored with ease. 2 months ago I finished my first year (out of four) of software engineering, and now I feel like I can fully enjoy this cause I can relate all you're saying to what I've been taught, it makes me really happy, motivated, proud of myself and that I'm studying something that I really like and fits me :)

Geez, this makes my brain want to explode. I can’t believe you just have an idea like this and are actually capable of creating it!

Congrats on pushing through that project big matt!! You stayed mostly consistent throughout it's entirety from planning, to building and to editing while having school in the way, which I find pretty crazy! And the end result is chief's kiss :D

As someone who's learning Vulkan and computer graphics i can spit two things: - I'm definitely subscribed - the youtube algorithm really impressed me this time

Okay, why the heck aren't you bigger on RU-vid than Mumbo? Like seriously. This is just incredible.

I like how instead of just showing us the finished product, he walks us through the whole process so we can sort of understand what’s happening somewhat

16:25 Yep, a frame buffer is right, and it's the reason screen tearing happens actually! If a monitor tries to display the buffer while the current frame is still being rendered(some parts of the last frame are still there), screen tearing occurs. And tearing is prevented by matching the fps with the refresh rate such as vsync vsync changes the fps , while monitors can prevent tearing via technologies like gsync/freesync by changing the monitor's refresh rate to match the programs. Edit: The monitor you built is double buffered(vsync), one being the currently displayed content, and one for the renderer to draw only, and only swapping buffers when the draw is complete. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_buffering

how is this the best explanation of 3d rendering i can find lol. i was trying to actually code and needed resources and this explained to so well

98% of people watching this probably dont even understand all this but its still entertaining to watch, and definetely interesting if you understand the things explained by him

I'm currently in college taking linear algebra and i freaked out when I realized you're using a concept I just learned in Minecraft. Amazing work, keep it up!

Dude, what's equally impressive to making the renderer is how good you are at breaking down these concepts and presenting them in a way that's not only clear but also entertaining as hell. I never thought I'd ever get into the weeds about how these sorts of things work but you've made them so accessible. You've seriously got the chops as an educational youtuber up there with 3blue1brown and veritasium. Keep it up man!

This is the most mind boggling, creative, and biggest redstone machinery I have yet seen, there are not enough words to describe it. You have done an absolute amazing freaking job at this, congratulations on building it. I love your creativity and intelligence, you are really unique

I have never seen a better explanation of projection ever. Crazy.

I never expected to see a full 3D render in minecraft done by only redstone You have my full respect for doing something like this

I did subscribe, that's an amazing work man !

i love watching these videos bc i know so very little about redstone or minecraft in general, but I'm very much into geometry. So it helps me understand the computational aspect a lot more keep up the great work man!

23:28 the fact that he said he THINKS it MIGHT be his biggest project just shows how insane this man is at redstone

This video is so high quality, I literally can't express how cool this video is. Also, matt > crafty in digital redstone.. Slimestone is a different question.

This is so enjoying to watch even though I don't understand half of the geometry stuff. These kinds of Redstone builds always look so cool as well.

Holy hell you go far, nice videos!

I'm a graphics programmer myself and this is Hella impressive, it took me months to figure out the math, and you just showed it it one video! Crazy stuff man GG

this is INCREDIBLE. good job on the visuals explaining the math concepts btw, super clean and useful for understanding what was happening as you did it (matt > crafty)

This is *really good* to show the complex ins and outs of an actual silica chip. The first thing I thought of the 16-bit divider, was that it looked awfully similiar to a actual computerchip from these 3D animations on RU-vid. Well it is, which makes it even more mindblowing, to think that we are able to do something so complicated on a mollecular scale with even more capability 12:04 that actually looks like SOC from a phone or something with all these wires and gates. Awesome work

Amazing! Very cool. I didn't think that was possible. Congrats :)

Finally, the long awaited C U B E

This is honestly incredible, i really liked how you explained the math too. Insane stuff!

Amazing work! I was warching a few minecraft videos to clear my head and didn't expect to suddenly end up in a linear algebra lecture :P Well done, and well explained!

This it's a really good explanation on how the basic pipeline of how a graphics card works, kudos for the clear examples.

Ahh, that beautiful vertex position aberration caused by rounding errors reminds me of old PS1 era graphics. This is some outstanding work! Such dedication and resourcefulness!

I'm really impressed at how insanely fast this is. I mean... Even without carpet mod 700 tics is not a long time for all that calculation! You have a really brilliant mind for optimisation!!

You've just explained things I would've never understood from a school teacher. You give me inspiration to further progress my mathematics knowledge! You are awesome! Keep up the hard work!

This is so awesome man, amazing job and it’s so cool you include so many explanations about maths and how it’s useful!

This is an absolutely MONUMENTAL and INCREDIBLE thing! I love it! Such an incredible piece of redstone engineering! It even fits with one of my quotes: "It may be slow, but it works. And that's what matters the most."

22:48 Hold up, there is another hardware simplification you could maybe have done (at the cost of speed): Sine and Cosine can use the same look-up table, just offset slightly because cosine is just a sine function shifted by 90 degrees.

Why did this video do a better job explaining 3d rendering than every dedicated video I've found lol Thank you so much

Mindblowing stuff. My ape brain can't comprehend the majority of it, but I can really tell that you put in some serious work, and the outcome is incredible. Quick piece of advice though, you should try to use a De-esser on your mic, a bunch of different programs offer it. Or a pop filter. Thats all.

I can already just see that this is gonna be one hell of a project he just did, Goodjob man! Keep it up! Really enjoy it!

What the heck. I'm baffled. You explained this huge project very simple and made it look simple as well, but having a little clue of redstone and maths it's just insane to me that you made this renderer possible in a damn block game. You are truly underated my dude. Keep up the great work ❤️

The way you made this video makes me think I could build something like this, maybe in a few years. Great work!

18:50 I just got this video recommended. What a coincidence: I am studying Linear Operators (including a Rotation Matrix) at the university right now. And although I know some basics about computer logic and can actually build an adder using logic gates, I'm not so sure how to make a matrix multiplier using simple logic. And knowing how much space and time it takes to build simple OR / AND (or any other gate) in minecraft, I do appreciate your patience and determination. Well done!

14:03 I don’t think that it’s fair for you to say “we”. You did all of this amazing building, coding, creating, all by yourself. This is *YOUR* amazing accomplishment!

You are a genius. I love everything you make. it's beautiful to see math, computer science, and minecraft all intersect in your projects!!!

Your projects so crazy and i think you caт do much more!

wow i learnt this in school this year, and i didn't even listen to it bc i was bored. but i literally watched you teach me the same thing right now. keep it up!

This guy honestly deserves way more than he's getting

I saw that 3b1b plug coming from a mile away. Great build Matt

Ive just begun my hobby of learning about CS and programming and while I got lost on the math stuff, it was really cool to understand some of the stuff in this video. Thanks for making it.

you are one of my favorite minecraft youtubers. Honestly just insane to think about the fact that you had to literally write this whole thing in BINARY. I do some programming myself, but nowhere near the level youre at. Great job man :)

Dude. This video is AMAZING!!! Mark Rober music, 3Blue1Brown video references and similar animations, absolutely brilliant explanations, and the sheer dedication to put this all together. Designing the divider and all the components, teaching yourself how everything works, prototyping everything in Python, and the many hours of debugging, all to produce one coherent video is absolute dedication and I have SO MUCH respect for you and optimism for your future as an engineer, both in Minecraft and in real life. You're an amazing person and I know you will do great things one day. I've been around this channel for a while. I don't know exactly how long, but your videos are always incredibly engaging and educational, and they always put a smile on my face. I know a lot of people say this, but my jaw literally dropped during the final showcase. As a high school student, I wish I had the time to design things like this. I built a very big and slow calculator similar to yours at the end of last year, which was my inspiration, designing almost everything myself. I was super proud of it and created tic-tac-toe and connect four over the summer, which I am also really proud of. Now that school has been back in session I haven't been able to play, but anytime I watch any of your videos I am absolutely amazed and inspired. Keep up the amazing work!

The redstone is amazing, and I'm actually equally impressed with the video quality, particularly your animations with the cube, vertexes, screen, and rays. Well done, it's only up from here

that was incredible and probably took an insane amount of time and dedication

this is taught SOOOO perfectly, great job man.

I quit Minecraft a few months ago, but as a programmer I am so amazed by how you have done it, and the way you made the matrix rotation way easier is mind blowing, keep it going man!

This takes me back to computer architecture class days and linear algebra it’s so unbelievably impressive how you managed to get all of this done in Minecraft all in all the video was super fun to watch keep it up! 💙

You're really good at explaining things. I don't understand much about coding or redstone, but I can generally understand your process.

I dont play much minecraft, and at school have barely learned algebra, but you still made it easy to understand. Great work!

not only is this video displaying literally best practice in hardware and software development, but it's also just. straight up informative. this is exactly how you teach people. it reminds me a lot of ben eater's explanations - messing up and correcting it is part of the process, and it's shown so nicely here. i'm so impressed with every minute of this video. (it also helps that you're voice isn't monotone so it doesn't ever feel like a lecture)

1:40 Matt: "everything has to be done in binary" Analog Signal Strength : "am I a joke to you?!" ;)

i am just starting pre-calc in college, as a dual major in CIS and electromechanical tech - thank you for getting me even more excited about math:)

20:19 holy shit thats veritasium "aha moment" soundtrack shook me man, that make what your presenting sound more convincing

Oh my god I just realised I’d wanted to draw something like this for a personal project in something called TIC-80 but could never figure out how projection worked, this has helped substantially- entertaining redstone and educational computer graphics. Thanks so much!

We can't see yet the video but I know that is going to be awesome as all mattbatwings videos! Thank you for all your work (from 🇮🇹 Italy)!!!

I love how at this level, redstone resembles a lot the creation of first computers! With manually building the circuits using lamps... it reminds me of stuff like the ENIAC

GREAT VIDEO!! Very easy to understand and makes computers look a lot more cool thinking that computers are almost just this but a lot lot more compact

Everything in these videos are always explained so well and everything is put together in a way that's both interesting and entertaining. You've struck gold with this video format, good job bro, incredible project as well!

I don't even know how to descibe how much I love this video! Everything is extremely well explained, the visuals are stunning and simply following along makes you feel smart. Another 10/10 my dude! :D

So much respect dude. I’m also a huge 3b1b fan and can totally see his inspiration in your videos. Amazing stuff

Thanks for taking time to explain the maths as well - awesome video :)

Currently taking a matrix class in college, and seeing the application of matrix multiplication to produce 3D graphics via linear transformations is really cool. Fantastic work here!

i feel like if redstone displays are gonna get any more advanced like this, there should be a mod that lowers the brightness of the lamps based on signal strength or something, so you could add depth to the image

It was amazing bro!! CS concepts applied into the Minecraft.

using repeater locks to save specific redstone inputs is very cool i never thought of that

Incredible. The explainations are giving heavy 3blue1brown vibes lol

Holy moly, that is the coolest thing I've ever seen in Minecraft. And you weren't that kind of RU-vid to skip over the math, or explain it terribly, you did a fantastic job with the math, and even I, who doesn't yet understand Matrixes, could still understand your explanation. Fantastic job my guy, highly underrated video

That spinning LOL in the showcase is my favourite part of this video. Anyway, good job on the 3d math. I never got it to work myself 😅

Back in the day when I was into redstone i was so happy building a functioning calculator. Now I get recommended this WHAT, it is insane what you did there. Great work!

After I've watched your line drawer video i actually started researching 3d rendering and seeing you explain the topic in such a clear and approachable way is so fun

I love that you went in depth with your explanation. It really makes it feel hands-on!

my mind stopped working when you did the inputs lol. great build!

amazing. i just love that this contraption actually looks like a build computer, because kind of it is.

I remember when I was excited because I made a really basic calculator when I was 17, seeing how far red stone engineers and engineering has come is truly impressive

This is incredible and you're such a fantastic explainer. This is some top quality RU-vid! Congrats on the awesome project!!

its insane how far this game has come, and how far the community has improved as well. this is actually insane. i remember when peak redstone was a vault door larger than 3x3.

Super great in-depth math!!! Love the cross between math and minecraft.

Great job as always! Starting college rn I can see how hard it is to balance things out.. After seeing the explanation, 3d matrices and rotations don't sound complex at all! Thank you for the video, I feel like I keep learning things with you!

As a physics student that passed linear algebra a year ago, I got so much excited for no reason when you were explaining the matrix multiplication for the rotation and i was like “but can’t you just use the other 2 coordinates for a single axis rotation?” and it was right

When you started talking about linear algebra, I got flashbacks to when I took it a few years ago in college. This is absolutely insane!! I understand all the math behind this, but I have no idea how you actually made a redstone circuit that makes it work 😵‍💫

Everyone tells me that I'm smart (I'm not) and i have no problems understanding easier builds, but you guys, who build these machines, your are on next level
