Lazy Tutorial, for lazy people by lazy people. Extended Version Here: • Neon Sign Lazy Tutoria... I figure a lot of you already know this stuff, but PERHAPS you have no yet realized the horrifying power of DINGBATS?
@@nibblrrr7124 Omg, rewatching this I didn't realize how many CGI references Ian makes in the minute 1. Donut tutorial of course 2. When he UV maps the people, he says, "UV map to make a bunch of geeks in CG" aka CG Geek, another Blender tutorial guy who also does challenges and poked fun at the donut himself. 3. "Make a corridor digitally" Corridor is a RU-vid channel and I think their full name is Corridor Digital, and they make short films with really nice VFX and Ian helped them on one or a few of their films 4. And of course at the end, he says, "Someone came into the museum and drew prices everywhere" I don't need to spell that one out for you. Ian is patenting CGI standup lmao, you should check out his Blender conference talk. It's very informative, but feels very much like CGI standup, if that's a thing lmao.
The thing about these tutorials is you never say "I'm going to go ahead and do the thing" and then do the thing. You just do the thing. It's pretty great that we aren't treated like children and we respect you for that.
I recently saw some criticism of the work flow on these but It seems like these tutorial are geard toward people who need to make a lot of assets fast , like people making short films , or a one person project, so in these cases these tutorials are perfect for practical usage applications. Not every project can afford a week per asset, so thanks Ian ! You really help out small creators and artists!
Oh thanks! Even more than making assets, I've been teaching a lot of people blender lately in "real life", and the biggest thing that keeps them going is that dopamine hit of "OH HEY! I made a thing!" (as opposed to being frustrated by all the hotkeys/interface) So as long as folks are beginners, I want to fit as much of those small successes in there as possible. And once they make a thing, the hope is that they'll look at it and go, "can I make this better?" and start tweaking/learning,- but I think that initial dopamine hit is key, haha
As a concept artist, this kind of stuff is really all I need. As long as it looks good on a static render and can be done fast, I'm all for it, "correct way" be damned :P
@@IanHubert2 When can we expect the one minute tutorial on" how to manipulate people into doing something (anything) by hacking their brain chemistry" ?
@@IanHubert2 That is the best way to teach and the method I always responded to best. First, show a person that they can. Then teach how to improve on that. It cuts out all the horribly discouraging times brought on by trying to learn all the technicalities first.
I think my favorite part of these tutorials is that, while being extremely quick and funny, they also find a way to tell us about everything you need to know about a subject. like, in this tutorial we get to learn about neon signs in the first few seconds, but then learn about using a back fill behind the sign to give it a frame, using a second duplicated copy of the sign to make it feel more full, using different fonts to get a more "neon sign" looking sign, about using bezier curves to create custom signs, using a fresnel to mix up the color a bit, added realism by having power cables and supports, and also using custom fonts to get easily changeable signs that still fill our needs. All of that in one minute (and two seconds), truly astounding.
These are seriously the most efficient tutorials for anything I've ever seen. The way you cut out all the bullshit and leave only actual information while still keeping it very entertaining is genius.
My 3D Modeling/Painting/Animation teacher actually recommended that our class check out your lazy tutorials, now that we're no longer complete newbies at Blender. Your fast-pace explanations, while jarring at first, are honestly way more refreshing than having to watch 15-55 minute tutorials where the narrator assumes this is your first time opening Blender. You manage to give all the information that is needed, and the short explanations mean that I can easily replay the exact bit I need if I get lost along the way.
Dude you are my favorite. I learned Blender over the past 4 years from tutorials, and a ton of practice. Your 'lazy' tutorials have introduced me to so many little tricks that my own process has started speeding up significantly. Also - you're freaking hilarious. Keep it up!
This was the first blender tutorial I ever saw. My cousin sent it to me while we were both learning blender, and even though I realized I knew nothing about blender and needed to make a donut, I still attempted this tutorial and made something pretty cool. :D
I think you are doing the best CG tutorials on youtube. So on point and no 5 minutes intro of bla bla bla. You have my full respect man. Keep em coming.
I learned more from your 1-minute tutorials than from the 2 years of learning from the Internet lol. Keep up the good work, you're making the world a better place for 3D modelers! :)
Ahh... forget RGB LEDs. Ian, make a neon filled PC build for your Blender. I don't think anyone's done it. I don't wanna see anyone else do it! You're the Blender cyberpunk tutor we don't deserve.
I'm just starting my journey with Blender and creating 3D art,but these videos are giving me such joy and inspiration that even if I fail,I'm still happy they're exists.
@@DarthBiomech Make a cylinder, add edge loop and extrude/bevel them absed on a reference image. Move some vertices around to make it more natural, even better if you have some good texture maps for colour, normals and rust (metalness). Once you're done with the barrel add a seperate object, maybe a sphere, inside the barrel and press F3, search for 'quick smoke'. To add fire, click on the sphere again, go to the physical properties tab (little planet orbiting symbol in blue) and change 'smoke' (in Fluid>settings) to 'smoke+fire'. You're done! Of course you could go much further than that but that's just my basic way of doing it!
You make me feel like I can make an entire Sci-Fi movie on my game PC but I don't have enough time to do that and this video is actually not for "lazy" people like me.

And here comes another quick tutorial from the famous MOTHMAN!
Just discovered your channel, watched your entire lazy tutorials playlist, and i'm... like wtf this guy knows everything. Your amazing, keep up the great vids !
Man i really appreciate that there is someone on youtube who is teaching us some really cool stuff in blender,you should make tutorials on some basics things like when you done making something or modeling something how you can put that into a real video and make it seam realistic,or lets say you want to put add neon sign on to a footage taken from a tripod,i'm trying to figure it out but there are not enough guide for total beginners
I had never heard of blender until this popped up in my recommendations, but I am downloading it now with the aspiration of also creating a neon "My Banjo"
"...blink forever, or use noise modifier, give it a little flicker, you do noodles, you cyber punk, so you play with noodles and drippy cables, yeah i would know, i come from alabama with a neon my banjo!"
The cities you make always look so good! I imagine most of it can be done with what was shown in the building tutorials, but it's awesome how you put them together and it looks even better when you place what you just made within the scene.
"I come from Alabama, with a neon 'My Banjo'". You ever get the feeling that the entirety of human culture and language development has been leading up to a single joke?
Sure! There's a well known folk song "Oh Susanna" with lyrics that go "I come from Alabama, with a banjo on my knee." So that line was a bit of word play that made me pause for two seconds, and then actually start laughing out loud.
