Dude this is amazing, it's incredible to me just how much attention to detail is put into making these dream/nightmare like empty spaces to an actual visual representation
Since the backrooms use fluorescent lights, you might want to do some research on their emission spectrum. Unlike incandescent bulbs, fluorescent lights have huge gaps in their spectrum which can massively affect how things look on camera. A poorly designed CCD sensor can have a narrow range of colors it can pick up, and in some cases, this will coincide with the spectral gap of the fluorescent light. In addition, there are some materials which mainly reflect light in the spectral gap, which can make them appear dimmer even to the best camera out there.
Think about recording all series (when you’ll finish the project) on VHS as merch. It might be a really cool geek collectible and I’m sure a lot of people will support you buying them. I’ll be happy to have a full tape on my shelf 🙂
6:57 tip for sound is to put your sounds in space with a reverb so they sound like they’re in the same place, and position them so they the appropriate distance from “you”. That may be difficult depending on what you’re using and doing, especially if they’re changing distances. There’s a lot that can be done with sound, makes a big difference. I suggest creators lol at how they do foley and sound mixing in films to see how it’s done
Wtf I have literally never seen anything like it. I had an epiphany that Backrooms is analogous to the "architecture" of our subconscious. Quite stunning
As someone who has quickly whipped up a handful of short animations in Blender (mostly for shitposting), I'm annoyed that no guide or resource I ever saw before ever mentioned IES profiles, and my eyes never landed on the relevant UI section either! I never really aim for photorealism, but they look like a powerful way to add more expressiveness to light sources even when aiming for an "obviously CGI" look. So thank you for that!
Thank you so much for sharing videos like this, I used to model in 3D pretty frequently but that was over a decade ago and the software options are just exponentially better nowadays (not to mention FREE like Blender!). Tutorials made by folks such as yourself make it so easy for me to get back into the swing of modeling and animating, and are very inspirational for creating a backrooms vid of my own :).
I really like how compared to your first video about making backrooms videos, this one is more in-depth of designing and how it has little tutorials to follow to get a good vhs filter look. Keep up the good work!
A very well documented process! almost makes me want to dabble into backrooms found footage sort of videomaking i love the vhs step process, the authentic results speak for themselves!
Not gonna lie at 6:36 I was heavily invested and hyper focused on what you were explaining but then the metal bar sound knocked me out of my concentration and all I could think was "fuck you how dare you make me laugh while I try to learn 🤣🤣🤣" my train of though has been derailed momentarily but it is now back on the tracks. Please make more of these videos and add more metal bars to the backrooms thnx 👍
This was insanely useful! I'm a 3D student learning Maya with experience with Adobe and such. The IES profiles for lights is something I never would've thought of! I always love messing with lighting while rendering. The VHS conversion was insanely impressive. It makes me wonder how successful recording the rendered footage on a CRT using a DSLR camera in a black box would be. I might try it in the future.
Your animations are just amazing man. You know what's even more amazing? Watch your videos on a CRT TV :). I found an old one a few days ago and I'm going to plug my PC in it with the adapter seen at 7:19... I can only imagine how cool it could look like!
Very informative! You do great work! I hope others can find this useful and try it for themselves. I love all these kinds of backrooms videos lol. Thanks for helping others that need this kind of info!
Absolutely amazing breakdown and will be adopting all these points🙏haven't owned a VCR for 15 years but now eyeing them at the local TV repair shop. Never knew I'd ever own one again but here we go.... 😎
Legit great tutorials mate! I make Backrooms and other content in Unreal Engine as I work fulltime in the gamedev so it hits closer home for me, but damn Blender is sooo strong :').
The End by Josh Lis has been stuck in my head for literally this entire week since watching this video lol. Such a bop; like I’m floating through the clouds during a cotton candy sunset
I love the vhs effect 💙, it looks mint, best I have ever seen in any backrooms video. So happy my suggestions worked that well 😀. I would try to degrade the tape a bit, accelerated aging by controlled heat, weak magnetic fields, copy from tape to tape or re-record the output, that sort of things.
Amazing! Btw, I find it funny that this video needs to explain VCR recording and playback to a crowd that probably never has touched magnetic tape. I am sooo oooold :( Everything hurts!
I remember when people used Blender for cartoon-shaded blobs and some dude did a mecha animation where the lights were just semitransparent yellow cones, that program's come insanely far!
Great work again and again! Question or Idea for the non-euclidian rooms. You can tell where the the holdout is because of the reflection and light at the wall. (5:25 on the left) Wouldnt it make sense to place the holdout in an 45° angle or from corner to corner (similar to the Pepper’s ghost effect ), so the "cut" with the reflection and light is in the corner? And the reflection is "covered" by that?
From Blender to editing, what an awesome video! Gave me inspiration to start some footage on my channel. Gonna post my first found footage soon. Thank you so much for this!
You should include a rack leader in your video outputs so its easier to sync (the countdown thing you see in old time video stuff that “beeps” right before the first frame) Adobe can generate them automatically but dunno about resolve
The only issue with this process is the final videos aren't in 4:3 so they end up letterboxed on all sides It looks like the Windows camera application is responsible, you could probably use obs to get the proper aspect ratio
I came here to learn how to make non euclidean worlds. It makes me feel better about my Blender skills, since the method you showed here, was the exact method I came up with. But, how did you make the camera transition from one view layer to another? When I go through the holdout object, it (of course) stops using the holdout to view the render layer. So I'll just be in the same view layer.
amazing!!! inspired me so much to make backrooms video and i already made my first animation using all tips, tho the real vhs tip was kinda unnecessary since most people aint gonna do it
5:19 : The fact that you can do that is like, awesome. But what specifically do you mean by "put them on top of each other" ? Do you mean a sort of mask in an editing software or a feature that is in Blender ? Thanks ! :)
at the end, you said vhs sound quality is bad, but that's not ture. VHS sound quality is actually suprisingly excellent, with so low noise, that you cant hear it.
i was hoping you could help me out with the VCR filter issue ive encountered. i have reached the point where the VCR is visible on my camera screen. i can't see the computer screen on the camera with an analog appearance like you do, all i can see is a blue screen and 'no signal'. the tape is in the VCR and all the cords are in correctly.
11:21 Back then they sold svhs to vhs tape converters where youd put a svhs into a fake vhs tape tricking the vcr into thinking its just another vhs. Don't know if this would effect the quality tho
capturing vhs content was such a pain in the a$$ in the 90s. had to have special video cards and eventually had to use firewire and minidv. it was all real time capturing, too. it's a wonder any of us stayed in the industry!
Andy my man, eagerly waiting for your next backrooms installment, please continue the outpost story, it was a treat to my eyes and the whole concept was pleasantly original.
Dude this is amazing, it's incredible to me just how much attention to detail is put into making these dream/nightmare like empty spaces to an actual visual representation
The pipe at 6:38 sent me reeling. Good job.
That pipe sooth me and I felt that
I appreciate your awesome works, you're my most favorite backrooms footage creator, they remind me so much about my limited space dreams.
mine too!

Man, your backrooms is something, I like it so much cause they are not so common as others. Goodluck! ❤

Seriously, your are currently by far the best Backrooms creator out there. Absolutely looking forward to your upcoming videos. Keep it up!

Damn must be so special to have your project on a VHS. Great video dude, learnt some really cool tricks. Very keen to try out the lighting technique.
Yes I like your videos. This nice for people who want to make backrooms video

criminally small amount of views
✨Phenomenal✨
WTF
A VCR with HDMI?????
The amount of effort that goes into these videos is amazing. Super inspiring stuff man!

definitely better
i love andy's work. way better than I could do.
You post cool videos.
Amazing! Btw, I find it funny that this video needs to explain VCR recording and playback to a crowd that probably never has touched magnetic tape. I am sooo oooold :( Everything hurts!
I am speechless how good your video quality is and especially how precisely you have explained everything.
I remember when people used Blender for cartoon-shaded blobs and some dude did a mecha animation where the lights were just semitransparent yellow cones, that program's come insanely far!
good job!
Great job, this was very informative.
He returned . Yes!
it's Physically Based Rendering, referring to the kind of textures included for a material
I've been making backrooms videos for a while to experiment with blender and it is so much fun. Your videos really have helped me a LOT.
Great work again and again!

next level man!
Underrated af!
can't be any better quality. next step would be reallife footage from the backrooms. can't wait for a tutorial for that! :D
From Blender to editing, what an awesome video! Gave me inspiration to start some footage on my channel. Gonna post my first found footage soon. Thank you so much for this!

Render in 15 FPS
Use Flowframes to turn 15FPS video to 30FPS (it's free)
Cutting your render time by half
Straight to the point, informative and easy to understand
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Straight to the point, informative and easy to understand
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
When it comes to recording to a VHS tape, one thing I would check out is Generation Loss for future videos.
You don't always need a VHS. I use MiniDV tapes recorded by a Sony handicam.
Awesome, this content deserves much more support, likes… 👌👏💯
You have an excellent understanding of how backrooms, retro VHS style and ambient horror must be done. Pleasure to watch.
Mad ❤ Don't stop now the entire genre has finally lost all the Sqeaukers and only good Vids are now coming out

i want to have all the music from this video and from your other making-of video burned onto a cd so i can listen to it 24/7
“VCR machine”.😂 Just VCR. Source: I’m old.
5:19 : The fact that you can do that is like, awesome. But what specifically do you mean by "put them on top of each other" ? Do you mean a sort of mask in an editing software or a feature that is in Blender ?
Thanks ! :)
My day is 50 million times better.
So what about using the camcorder to get the VHS effect? Wouldn’t it be easier to do it that way?
I had no idea there were VCRs out there with digital output! The result looks awesome!
my favorite backrooms artist. i actually hope u blow up bro bc ur stuff is better than everyone elses ive seen
You have to make fnaf backrooms type videos bro… not only are you way too good at it.. it. Would . Blow. Uppppp
at the end, you said vhs sound quality is bad, but that's not ture. VHS sound quality is actually suprisingly excellent, with so low noise, that you cant hear it.
HANDS DOWN the best backroom videos. Just everything, the feeling like it's a real place, and a place that makes no sense. So uncanny and I love it.
you know that thing old cameras do where they shift exposure massively to compensate for sudden changes in lighting? that would look cool lol
Dude... You're the best. Need more backrooms videos, please.
i was hoping you could help me out with the VCR filter issue ive encountered. i have reached the point where the VCR is visible on my camera screen. i can't see the computer screen on the camera with an analog appearance like you do, all i can see is a blue screen and 'no signal'. the tape is in the VCR and all the cords are in correctly.

Great video dude, I used most of these steps in my Pool rooms video I made for Uni, except real VHS conversion, that seriously next level

Andy my man, eagerly waiting for your next backrooms installment, please continue the outpost story, it was a treat to my eyes and the whole concept was pleasantly original.
I’m starting out on back rooms stuff and this video is really useful
This channel needs way more attention!
Thanks for the great content.
can you make a poolrooms video? please please, this is amazing!!!
Should i use emission or light spots? Because i think light spots add 2 shadows like real life
Someone tell this guy to make photorealistic video of the Mystery Flesh Pit
is VHR really needed for this? its just a waste of time and money
No shot that you really went through exporting it on vhs just for the touch. Insane, no cap.
This is amazing just one thing
the walls of the rooms should have a bit less motifs like it's plain yellow
Dude, the absolute love you show in the conversion process.
PBR stands for Physically Based Rendering.
RUclips algorithm is ruthlessly giving me hints
I hid a backrooms animation on a vhs tape in my attic I’m waiting for my family to go through the tapes and find it
As a dude who never touch blender before, this is fire
Abandon Theme parks with rides that lead to death and is super unnatural and it has a night and day cycle which has one minute per day
are you done with backrooms content?
is there more like backrooms? similar or different series with story
Mapping has gotten so advanced since I was modeling
Btw what are your render settings?
nice
TURN DOWN THGE MUSIC IT GET TOO LOUD
