Sadly enough, we made a mistake at 3:38. Instead of moving the top two rows of the UV map, we should actually enlarge them to match with the picture. Moving them w.r.t. the rest of the map created an offset which is incorrect. This happened due to severe oversight while recording the tutorial. Thanks for those who pointed it out. I hope viewers will be able to follow the basic technique, instead of following it verbatim 🙂
@@Gilblo True actually 👍 This was one of our tutorials made long back when we were just starting. We did not do well. We will redo this tutorial once Blender 4.0 is officially published, hopefully we will be able to make it more interesting this time!
You're correct, I just noticed it. At 3:38, instead of moving the hanging part of the uv map, we should actually enlarge them to match with the picture. Moving them created the offset. Thanks for pointing out this mistake. I hope viewers will be able to follow the basic technique, instead of following it verbatim. Glad you highlighted this issue 👍
@@5MinutesBlender There's something missing here. I've tried both moving and resizing and they still seem to have an offset. Any suggestions? Thanks so much for the tutorial.
@@gregfiske1930 I'm sorry I discovered this very late. Since you commented under someone else's comment, it never came to my notification. It has been 3 months and I'm sure you have resolved the issue already. If not, just let me know.
Instead of shifting at all, simply resize it in the x-axis so that the two sides fit into each-other (Where the centers of the edge faces lie on the right&left side; it tiles perfectly, so this corrects the off-set.
I don't like the black holes at the poles, so my solution is simply to set the initial resolution of the UV Sphere to be high enough, e.g., Segments:128, Rings 64, then all seems perfect. There is no need to change the UV map. 😉
Good tutorial, however, did you notice that x-moving the upper (and lower) faces in the UV editor has caused a horizontal split-shift through the island of Greenland?
Yes, we did a mistake there. Instead of scaling the uv, we relocated the uv which caused a shift in the picture. Really sorry for that 🙁 Btw, I am traveling, so this late response.
awesome trick. this is very help to me. i request you to do videos on gltf format. how should be shaders and nodes for gltf. please make videos for gltf also.
You can change the size (or scale in Blender language) by either pressing S key on your keyboard followed by a number like 2, and then Enter. Or you can directly edit the scale values in the properties panel of an object.
Hi, I know this is not entirely related to this video, but I would like to visualize the unwrapping of a sphere into a plane to explain backprojection. You do something very similar from 1:14 to 1:20. Since I am a complete beginner in Blender (have messed around for a couple of hours, but not many more), could you maybe point out where to start? Or some useful tutorials? There is so many Blender content that it's not easy knowing where to start. Thank you very much in advance!
Sure! Let me just understand whether you want to learn basics of Blender, or whether you are interested to only create that one animation with a sphere and a plane. If you want to learn Blender from the scratch, we have a set of 12 short tutorials that will give you a nice grip on Blender. The only drawback is, these were created sometime back, the background music is relatively louder. If you can stand that, it will surely help you since I have created them only for someone like you who just opened Blender for the first time.

@@5MinutesBlender Hi, thank you for your quick reply! I was already going through the short tutorials to get a basic understanding of blender. :-) It would be nice to be able to create different things in blender, but that would just be a plus, the one animation with the sphere and the plane is certainly my main project!
@@anoukmichiels1567 Okay, I will create a tutorial on this. I think that will be better instead of explaining the technicalities right here as you may find it difficult to follow, since you are new to Blender. If you see it, it will be easier.
@@anoukmichiels1567 So we created that tutorial now, here is the tutorial link 👉 ruclips.net/video/HqZbZqfP4lg/видео.html It should go on record that we delivered a tutorial just within 5 days after it was requested! This is our minimum so far 😃
That was indeed a mistake from our end 😂 In the haste of doing the unwrap fast, we mistakenly moved the map at 3:38 while we should have scaled it up to match with the Earth texture. We'll try not to make such mistakes again. I hope the viewers will get the basic idea that we wanted to convey through this tutorial.
Hi there im a student working on a project i am creating a 3d model of moon but i wanna show the coordinates of the area of moon when the user hovers on it could you help?
In which application do you want to do that? When user hovers - means it can't be a simple animation because it needs your app to have the capability to capture user interaction (tap or touch) and get the tap/touch location. Blender cannot do that. Probably an android app would be better suitable for that.
@@BLEACHHHHHHH I never worked in React. But yes I guess that hovering thing needs to be coded separately, Blender has no mechanism to capture user actions, it can only give you a static model with adequate details.
The triangles are actually rectangles. We made them meet at the pole. In place of 0.01 for the size in the previous step, if you enter 0.1 or 0.2, you'll see that those are actually rectangles. Since they met at the pole with size 0.01, they now look like triangles. The sole purpose of this step was to convert triangles into rectangles. But these rectangles have one side almost equal to zero, so they appear as triangles.
We did a mistake there. I realized it too late after uploading the tutorial. At 3:38, instead of moving the hanging part of the uv map, we should actually enlarge them to match with the picture. Moving them created the offset. Sorry for this, and I am glad you correctly identified this issue 👍
Why deleting the start cube in first place, when u can make a perfect tiled sphere out of it XD, i dont understand... ? This can only be a result of a " deleting startcube cult " By the way, texture ressources are online avaiable free from NASA, this is maybe the infite tutorial topic, its here since more then a decade ... ( I can say, it really looks pretty with 8K textures, but dont mind the load when putting 8K normal map on your globe XD and animate clouds... But, i cannot understand why deleting CUBY1 all the time, when u can just start modeling with it :P
Ha Ha 😂 I know about this "Delete the default cube" trend and I am always cautious not to fall into it. In fact, we did several tutorials where we used the default cube for modeling. However, in this case it is easier to use a sphere instead of converting the cube into a sphere (which is possible, I know). These tutorials are mostly for the beginners 🙂 You are definitely a pro!
Why all the faff with UV unwrapping??? It's weird that most people don't realise the NASA textures are actually designed to work with UV spheres and are called equirectangular maps... which is in the drop down menu of the Environment Image Node... people use the wrong node... set it to Smart and Sphere and bingo, no stretching at the poles....simples.
I'd like to try this procedure. But when I open up an Environment Texture node, I only see one drop down menu that includes "Smart" in it, but don't see another drop down menu that includes "Sphere". Maybe I'm missing something.... 🤷♂
@@Argyle302 ah no, with that node you just set it to smart and Equiretangular... you can also use a normal image node and use Smart sphere on that one...
@@I_am_Spartacus - Thank you the ultra fast response. 😂. I did try the other commenters’ ( xia willy ) suggestion by starting out with a UV sphere at 128 segments and 64 rings, and that seem to solve all my problems. I guess there are several different techniques to get the same ending results. 😁
@@Argyle302 the amount of segments etc doesn't solve the pole pinching, its just extra geo for when you use the bump node on the surface, or a cloud map and too get a smooth looking sphere...
Its just fixing problems all the time that blender creates. Its almost impossible to do this tutorial without years of experience. God I hate blender and this fast tutorial that races over super important steps. I would have to go off and find steps from other tutorials that this one had skipped.
Hi, we are extremely sorry if it was too fast to follow. We will consider creating another tutorial with more details. In the mean time, please take help from other tutorials, there are many good tutorials on this subject. I hope you can get your job done very soon! All the best mate!
Please check if there is a scaling issue, or if you there is any mistake in the UV unwrap. It should otherwise work because it's pretty basic in Blender. If you still find it challenging, you can send your blend file as it is (along with any associated textures) to 5minblender@gmail.com, we can investigate and help you to solve the issues.
@@danzstuff Can you please send your blend file as-it-is to 5minblender@gmail.com? We can then look into your blend file and suggest what can be done here.

DONT USE SUBDIVISION MODIFIER. USE SHADE SMOOTH TO SAVE ON POLYCOUNT
Good suggestion! Better not add subdivisions just for smooth surface unless it is required for another purpose.
