Huge thank you to Game Dev Con for having me at their first virtual Con! It's literally been a dream of mine to do a panel at a con, and even though this had to be virtual due to COVID, I still loved it! :)
These are gorgeous. You should send a set of these to Critical Role for Taliesin Jaffe. The colors perfectly match his Grave Cleric's color tones. I imagine he'd love them and give you a huge shout out.
Supernova71288 ya thats a good idea
@@Supernova71288 If i knew how to get in contact with them, I would absolutely do that :)
@@Rybonator I don't know if it's a PO Box or just a studio address, but this is the address they list on their website:
"We are constantly blown away by your generosity and thoughtfulness, but unfortunately, we cannot accept items that are sent in to be signed and returned back to you. Also, as much as we love perishable items (like doughnuts), they can be really tough to ship. We ask kindly that you only send non-perishable items."
Critical Role
3727 W Magnolia Blvd #817
Burbank, CA 91505
Got a question - if you're already 3D-printing you own master-dice why not add the spruce and reservoir to the 3D Model?
Also huge thank you for your insanely helpful tutorial, cause of you I understood how easy it is ^^
These dice remind me of Caduceus Clay from CR
I've been hearing that a lot! I'd love for him to have the set if he was so inclined to have them :)
@@Rybonator I bet Tal would love them if you could find a way to get them to him.
@@MorganMcCauley11 @Rybonator, Critrole FAQ under "Where can I send gifts to Critical Role?"
Yes! I came here to say that lol
I was getting Arizona Green Tea vibes which totally fits Cad as well. Lol
I live for the intros, they are such a pick-me-up
Good, that makes the stupidly long amount of time I out into coming up with puns and rhymes worth it! Haha :)
The single most comprehensive and best explained video on this whole process. Oh my gosh thank you. I'm actually not as intimidated anymore because of you lol
That's what I was hoping for! I'm glad you find it helpful EJ :)
Two years later and I agree completely. Thank you! I’m going to go ahead and finally give dice making a try! ❤
Ahh yes the fabled "Liquid Glitter".
Anyways, I started making dice with Rybonator's earlier videos, and it's SO clear he's really nailed his process.
This small sprue on one side is SO KEY. It makes finishing dice with Zona papers quick and simple and honestly makes making dice infinitely more enjoyable. Don't bother with the pads - they don't work nearly as well, and will round the edges of your sharp edge diced!
^ Zona is the way to go now :) I still like cap molds, but sprue is my favorite. Next week I create a king of hybrid that works super well imo!
@@Rybonator Excited to see this hybrid alchemy!
Who would have thought that over half a year ago a random video recommendation would lead me to seriously considering dropping 400 dollars to make my own dice.
Awesome video as always. It will be nice to have this video and all of my guidesto look at when i make the leap.
Apologies to your wallet, but it is a hella fun leap when you do make it :) Best of luck for WHEN you start ;D
I had a dream that I met a fashion youtuber and her and I were talking about historical accuracy in a dnd campaign (the clothing not the entire game). The youtuber then pulled out a set of dice... your dice!! A black and gold squishy set that had the goblin logo and I died when I saw them. Long dream short she gifted them to me, I cried A LOT and you magically appeared and apologized for making me cry. I proceeded to explained I was happy crying because of the dice and we all played dnd together.🧡 I think its funny the amount of joy I had when I woke up bc I had a set of your dice even though it was just a dream. Your dice are just so wonderful to look at and I bet would be amazing to use. Anyways sorry for the long comment and love your beautiful dice!!!!
This put a huge smile on my face Moryah :) I can't believe I was in a dream that made someone so happy! This was amazing, and thank you for such a wholesome comment :)
I hope you have a fantastic weekend, and a wonderful fashion themed DnD campaign! haha :) Maybe we'll play together one day!
@@Rybonator I'm glad you enjoyed my dream lol have an amazing day!!
Not going to lie I need to watch you videos later in the day your voice is apparently relaxing to listen to cause I fell back a sleep
Haha, I'll take that as a huge compliment :) My favorite RUclipsrs put me right to sleep.
I would love to see a tutorial for making dice out of UV resin with no pressure pot!
Tips on the type of molds for UV resin (cap, wish style or the sprew type), how to not get bubbles, etc!! You really do make the best tutorials and I’ve learned almost everything from your videos!
I’ve been having such a crappy morning and this really brightened my day right up. Thanks❤️
Well I hope your day/weekend gets nothing but better my friend! You got this Danny :)
I hope you're doing better 😃
Olivia Beakman I am! Thankyou so much❤️
Rybonator ❤️Thankyou
They looks kind of like an Arizona green tea can~.
I was thinking that too!
I knew it looked familiar!

lol
I have mastered Dice, now onto reality...
I just went and got a pressure pot and vacuum chamber yesterday and knew you would have great detailed instructions! Thanks dude, can't wait to start my own dice making!
Perfect timing then! I did it just for you haha :)
Best of luck in your making my friend!
Thanks man! Everything has gone perfect! Can't wait to make dice just as good as you do!
this set is so beautiful :0 it really gives me cadcueus clay energy 🥺✌️♥️
Oh you are right! It really does :)
You're just so chill and it makes me happy. I enjoy your videos a lot 😊 I just hope I can make my own dice (die?) One of these days
I opened youtube to use your previous videos as references before I started making molds and dice for the first time. If only I had this kind of luck when I actually rolled my dice.
Nothing saying you can't do it for round 2 :)
I've watched this like twelve times this week and am finally starting my molds tonight!
That's so awesome Jade! Best of luck to you in your dice making journey :)
Truly useful to have tutorials on how to make dice without a pressure pot good sir
All dice can be made without a Pressure Pot, you will just often get bubbles, or inconsistent results. I'll try and find a method that works every single time without a Pressure Pot and post it :)
Rybonator awesome! Thank you!
my first set of resin and silicon is on the way from amazon thanks to you!
Oh that's awesome! Can't wait to see what you create :)
@@Rybonator I'll be sure to post on the discord!
Omg those turned out so pretty!
Thank you Catrina :) I'm glad you like them!
OK. Firstly, I liked the Ryhming in the beginning. Secondly, THOSE DICE ARE SOOOOOO PRETTY!!!
My first thought upon opening this video was how are you going to do your puns for this topic. THEN YOU HIT US WITH THE RHYME. Bravo, sir.
I've never used a pressure pot before so this was actually insanely helpful. And those dice turned out BEAUTIFULLY.
I'm glad you found it helpful Jennifer! And that the dice turned out alright haha :)
@@Rybonator you always respond to my comments and Rybowife always responds to my tweets, I feel like yall are actually my friends and it warms my heart 😂😂❤❤
Ah, if it isn't the only thing keeping me sane right now. Thank you, wonderful dice man.
your videos are always so inspiring to me. every time i feel like i've hit a creative slump, you pop one of these bad boys out and my brain just goes "oh yeah, let's make some stuff!" so thanks for everything, man. you deserve to know how appreciated you are
Thank you so much for this comment Kelsey :) I always get so motivated when I read such kind words from you all. This made my day :) Hope you have a great weekend!
I had to instaclick on this as soon as it came up! Ive watched literally all your videos and love how pretty the dice turned out! The cherry blossom style is just, amazing!
Thank you Oran! I'm glad you like them :) I'm super happy with how this set turned out
@@Rybonator I've given the dice the name "Dice Captor Sakura', in honour of an anime that I havent even watched 😂
I would like to request a rhyme segment in every video if the sanity to create said rhymes is available 😂
Rhymes and puns. I'll just give up dice making and start my rap career
I... need to get my dice molds I started using your vids out and finish them.
Getchu some finished molds my guy!
Nice rhymes at the beginning. I love that you keep putting in effort for fun/corny intros. It’s great! Also those dice are gorgeous as usual!
I put more effort into my intros than the dice at this point haha :)
Wow! Those pink flakes look incredible with the teal. Reminds me a lot of Caduceus Clay's color scheme from Critical Role. As always, great work and a great video!
I'm hearing that a lot! I need to somehow get him a set :)
It’s gorgeous 😍😍😍 I love these colours even more than the purple and gunmetal I didn’t think that was possible.
Right!? I was so pleased with the final results 😊
Rybonator a royal blue (like lapis lazuli) and gold would be stunning tooooo, with gold mica in the resin as well as gold numbers
One thing I would like to add is you can also use 71% alcohol to help remove excess inking medium
Oh good call! Save the good stuff for later :)
THE BARS HE WAS SPITTING IN THE BEGINNING I'M SUBSCRIBING JUST FOR THIS
suddenly got interested in making dice for my brother and this is the best possible video i could've found about it !!
Me and some of my buddies wanna make our own dice, and IV shown them your cap mold video. Also I can't believe you drilled into your master dice! How can you do that with something so awesome???
In his earlier videos he would glue a small d6 to a corner of the masters, but when he would take off the sprue that corner would be wonky. Small price to pay to get the dice to come out more intact.
Because now I can make a ton more of them! :) Also you can glue without the drill if needed, it's just easier this way I find :)
@@Rybonator question, how much did you spend to get all the parts to change the paint pressure pot?
i hear the riming and the puns at the start of every video now and i die a little inside. WORTH
Ok, I've watched one of your videos and 18 seconds of this one and I'm already in love with you. Very entertaining and educational videos so far.
I still fall asleep to his vids ( note I like the video it's not boring. It's his voice)
Whenever you say "anyway" I always think of Crap Guide to DnD. He always sounds so done with his own videos. 😂
Love the look of these dice, they look amazing. Also I've been catching the streams as well and I gotta say, I'm having fun watching and messing around in chat.
Glad you like the Dez! And thanks for hanging out in the stream! It's been great to have so many people come and interact
@@Rybonator I love joking around with chat and you guys while you stream, definitely the highlight of my nights.
Rybonator is in fact a dragon and his dice collection is his shiny golden hoard
He does have a predilection to gold...
Considering the size of those "tooth picks", I'm inclined to agree with this assessment.
If you looking for a budget air pressure option you can use a $25 electric bike air pump and jerry rig a female comp fitting to it. Little quieter, much smaller, and cheaper. Gets to 40PSI no problem with the harbor freight Pot
I tried that but couldn't get a good fit with the bike pump and the end of the pressure pot. Maybe I need to go for a round 2!
@@Rybonator oh gosh please do! -sincerely a broke college dice goblin
Honestly man, you’re one of my favourite creators right now. Your content makes my day and all your designs are so cool!
Thanks Will, that means a lot :) I am glad my puns/rhymes are a good thing and not a repellent haha :)
@@Rybonator puns are literally always a good thing, never change
@@axolotlking1072 Wouldn't if I could! :)
One of these days, I'd love to see you try to make dice by using molding putty, though it may be challenging, it'd be interesting to see your process by using what you've learned from previous works
Might have to do a challenge video kind of thing with that :)
I have to say what a wonderful tutorial! I work in resin for terrain (pouring a mold today) but never thought of making dice. I’m going to give this a try. Thank you so much. I can’t imagine why you have any dislikes at all. What are they expecting?
Can't please everyone :) No worries though!
Oh man, I love using resin on terrain! Can't wait to see what dice you come up with Richard :)
Pro tip if you can't find accelerator: Baking soda can be used as an accelerator. Though that's probably better to use on the top dice for the sprue mold since it might be a bit grainy and you don't want to have to sand extra off your brand new dice.
I had no idea that would work! That's awesome :) Thanks Lylith!
I think this is my favorite design of dice you have made, I love how they look.
Missed opportunity, when you said the bubbles dissolve you could have done a Thanos snap-style dust effect on the little Bubbles picture.
Oh my gosh, what was I thinking!? Haha :)
Been making dice for a while now, but no matter how many times I do it I love watching your videos ^^ keep it up!
Your intros are my one true vice
The last time I was this early, his wife was still alive.
Good thing we brought her back to life with the swirly dice video ;)
Dude, didn't you see the wish dice episode?
ruclips.net/video/cT9ygQ4xROM/видео.html
Here it is
Did his wife die? This comment feels insensitive maybe I am missing something
In place of accelerator, you can sprinkle baking soda on your CA glue and it will instantly cure it. Very handy trick you can use in a lot of different scenarios, I learned that from a friend that's really into scale modeling.
This trick is great for gap filling on miniatures, and since it cures with a little bit of a rough texture, you can use it to make interesting natural textures on terrain or mini bases too. You can also just sand it down if you want it smooth.
Bro, Im so freaking amazed that, from one night zapping on youtube, found one of your videos (I think it was "Sharp edge "gem" dice) and get totally hooked on every single video you did, watching you learning day by day, experimenting and always making it fun, ends up in this amazing master work tutorial of every single thing you have learn in the process, knowing that now you are working of what you love, makes me really proud of you. You have done an amazing work!
and this Set you made its simply beautiful, I think my favourite :D
(sorry for potato english!)
I got absolutely drawn into this video, how the hell was I here for 30 minutes
I'm glad you liked it :)
Hey some content good enough to make my day a little better before bed
Aww thank you Lily :) I'm glad you like my vids! Have a great night!
I can't believe I wasn't actually subscribed to you...! What the hell! I watched all of your video since the dawn of time and they always pop up on my YT feed so I was like "yeah, I'm subscribed" ...Guess who rolled a NAT1 on a perception check!
Btw your videos are getting more and more amazing, you are improving so much and I am really happy to witness it!
If I mistyped anything I am very sorry, English is not my first language but I try nonetheless.
Your English is perfectly fine Greta :) Maybe your perception wasn't low, RUclips just has a really high Slight of Hand skill ;D
Thank you for that my friend :) I am glad you like what I do!
@@Rybonator Can't wait to see more of your work and yeah, freaking RUclips with their high Slight of Hand...!!!
OH! SOMETHING THAT I SHOULD HAVE SAID SOONER! I love your puns!!!
Thanks for these videos. You explain this stuff extremely well!
Of course! Thank YOU for watching :)
This is amazing! Your previous dice making videos have helped me, but this one blows them out of the water!
puns AND alliteration?? Rybonator you spoil us!
Only the best for my goblins
Thank you for being so clear on your instructions, Rybonator :) Your videos are always so simple to understand and fun to watch! Best wishes!
no one:
absolutely no one:
zero people ever:
rybonator: i love gold.
ily your videos make my day every time
Im excited to try some casting soon and experiment with different color combos
These are one of my favorite sets youve made! Wow
I'm glad you like them Catherine! :) Thanks!
Got to say, I'm about to start making dices and every forums I saw kind of scared me because it felt like a lot.
But your video is great ! Every step is clear and i'm not so intimidated anymore, thank you !
Ohh my I gotta try an opaque/clear with foil mix !! It looks gorgeous !
Also thank you for the video, you are the one who made me want to start dicemaking ! I'm still a beginner but it's so much fun !!
It's my favorite mix right now!
And of course :) Thank YOU for watching Tolie! Everyone is a beginner sometime :) Can't wait to see what you make!
These are the most beautiful dice I have ever seen
FWIW I like using vacuum in conjunction with pressure. Whatever the pot time is, i'll usually subtract 3 minutes for mixing, throw a vacuum on it, and then when i'm 10 minutes before the end of the pot life, pour my molds and throw them under pressure. Since a vacuum chamber is going to eliminate bubbles categorically from lowest to highest degree of saturation (how small the bubbles are), even if you don't completely void your resin, you're eliminating the worst void potential first, making all the remaining bubbles even more highly compressed. Probably couldn't tell the difference without weighing to compare, but i'd argue you get better durability and weight out of it.
Also note: I LOVE mixing my inclusions into part A and pulling a vacuum to a pervect void, because it just eliminates all of those bubbles from the whole process, and the only bubbles are the ones from combining A and B parts - just makes your work time more efficient especially if you're using vac + pressure combos, that pot life is really valuable
This looks soooo good. I want them so bad 🥺❤❤❤❤🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
They have reusable silicone measuring cups online. Makes it easier for measuring also you can use condiment bottles to store and pour your resin
when Rybonator decides to use gold ink, and says he likes gold multiple times
I'm so shocked, so surprised.
when you pause another rybonator video to watch this one
Ahh, a Ryboception. A rare occurrence! :)
Wait, the first one to rhyme with dice, was dice?
The world isn't ready for my level of rhyming skills.
I played a few rounds of D&D as a kid and later moved on to Warhammer 40k. I have given all of my figures away but I kept the dice. They mean too much to me. Some came from friends; some of those friends are no longer on Earth. I carry a D20 in my truck because you never know when it will come in handy. I bought a cheap hobby diode laser and some blank white dice and... the laser sucks at engraving them. It just isn't strong enough to oblate and instead just melts the acrylic. So this is my new option for cresting custome dice. Thank you for your detailed video and precise instructions.
Those are so awesome, that is my favorite color combo for dice, I want them so bad!
Can't begin to explain how exciting it is to be using these videos for instruction rather than for fun 😆
The more I watch, the more I want to start making my own dice. Then my pocket says "Hahahaha......NO" T.T
I'm watching this, even though I don't have the ability to make the molds
Hey if you are at least entertained, I'll call it a win :)
@@Rybonator the dice came out wonderful!
those dice are so god damn pretty holy heck
Oh my god Rybonator, these are beautiful! You really outdid yourself with these dice! So pretty ^.^
I am obsessed with these dice.
These particular dice more than any others before make me want to start making dice. But I really shouldn't pick up another expensive hobby when I'm already burnt out. Seriously though, thanks for the great visual inspiration.
Thank you so much for showing the actual full process including how to work the pressure pot! I was so confused when I first set mine up and converted it. I haven't actually used it to make dice yet but I finally finished designing my own masters like the day before you released this video so hopefully I'll have my first dice set soon!
That accelerator is some wild stuff. I remember as a child having to hold two things together til the glue dried so my parents could go about their lives (apparently clamps are a thing, but they had none for a while).
Also love the guide and appreciate that you've given us some free dice to replicate! Very decent of you :D
Can you do a video on Safety working with Resin, silicone, pressure pots, and vacuum chambers?
Wow, gorgeous dice!
these dice are the perfect color combo for Arizona Green Tea cans.
arizona tea themed die!!
i'm in the middle of binging your channel's videos and just wanna note that i logve your work.
These dice are so lovely, they make me think of the Feywild! This tutorial is so great, thank you for all the hard work you do
When the mans open the spru mold i thought he took a flesh light and cut it open.
Like my man.....you are a godddddd
Just bought EVERYTHING I need on Amazon! Can’t wait to get started!
I've seen people put bigger things inside sprue molds. They usually put the bigger objects into the mold before sealing it up and then using the pipette to get the resin fully around the object.
This is a great tutorial, I bought a set of your masters on Etsy so I can make some decent silicone moulds. I can't wait to have them so I can try the mica and water filled dice and filling dice with smokey resin and aurora foils and mylar.
Thanks for replying to my Q before I ordered the masters. ✌🏻👍🏻
I come back to this video a lot and dream about owning these dice 😭🥺 I can’t even get started on dice making till I move house again but your dice artistry is GOALS dude 👀👏🏻
Finally another one
This one was a bit longer, and I had to edit 2 at the same time, so it took me a hot minute :)
One day I'll make a set of dice and for that I already want to thank you now
Can't wait to see what you make! :)
@@Rybonator with my area of skill I could probably make some out of wood or metal xD
These are my favorite dice that I've seen you make! They are so beautiful 😍
I love those information packed videos! And the dice looks amazing, i get space vibes, but like white space. And coloring of numbers CAN change feel of dice. I had this brown swirly dice, and with white inking it looked druidy and treeish. I painted the numbers green. Now every time I look at them I feel like Shrek is going to tell me to get of his swamp XD
Ahh, the classic swamp dice! Everyone needs at least one set ;)
@@Rybonator it's my favourite
Thank you for creating this!!
Absolutely! :)
My fiance has convinced me to save up for a pressure pot so I'll be taking a few months to do that lol hopefully I can save up to have some master dice 3d printed, too.
It's so worth it! Check out my dice goblin discord as well, there are a lot of people who can design/print masters for you :)
Thank you! Those turned out very nice! Now I want to try.
