Apologies for the intro guys. I guess younger me was trying to be edgy, but I cringe today when I hear it. There's nothing wrong with liking flowers ;)
Blender Guru I got a kick out of it. With the current version of blender do you think you could use SSS to get the desired effect as well for the pedals?
las flores son la vida, y tu le has dado vida a un conjunto de mallas, mi pregunta es.... ¿podrías crear una rosa?.... ¿un clavel?.. ¿una peonía?...... ¿una dalia?..... ¡reto para un experto como tu!
Andrew if you are reading this, I just want you to know that I really don't mind these long tutorials. I would even watch a 4h long video. I don't know if you noticed, but nobody actually minds that these videos are long. Best thing about your tutorials is that they are long and you actually guide us through the whole process!
For those using Blender v2.75 or newer and having trouble with the displacement modifier: when setting the texture after you add the modifier, go into the Texture panel (next to the material button) and where it says "Type", change it from "Image or Movie" to "Clouds". This setting is not automatically enabled in 2.75, so that might solve it.
I was unsure if I would benefit much from a tutorial about flowers, but I always learn SOMETHING at the very least from your tutorials. And sure enough... parenting the texture coordinates of a displacement map to another object. That opens up a lot of possibilities for me. Thank you.
Thanks for another great tuorial. I'm just starting with blender and searching for tutorials on net, but yours are best so far. You explain clearly what You're doing, not like other guys which are setting thousands of parameters and no one knows wtf are they doing and why.
Excelente trabajo señor Andrew, sigo todos sus tutoriales. Se aprende en cantidad con ellos. Gracias por compartir tu conocimiento con la comunidad web. Saludos. Excellent work Mr. Andrew, I see all your tutorials. They are an extraordinary source of information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the web community. Greetings.
steve erwin: "look at that croc! it's dangerous! we're gonna touch it" Andrew Price: "look at that stem! look at it! we're gonna model it" great tutorial as always!! :D
We have those kinds of flower here in Canada too, they're mostly pink/whiteish, but you don't rip off the stem, you actually rip the petals which are all small tubes and have nectars on the bottom. It's kinda hard to explain though.
If anyone is having problems with the flowers showing up in render mode, like they're invisible or completely black, add a texture coordinate node and connect the "generated" string to the "vector" at the backside of the image texture node
a hole in your pocket ? that's such a great story, a hole in your pocket is guiding you through the city, the best way to let your subconscious lead your way !
Around 1:05 into tutorial, the massive branching slows blender considerable, as the verticies count rises rapidly, even with low poly models (not everyone has a super duper pc). To get by, what I did was join the flower bundles, then I disabled all the subsurf mods and only kept array mod active (all still applied, but not in viewport). This reduced from 1 million+ verticies to 25,000. Added a decimate mod reduced it to 15,000. This helped finish the project. This is for older and budget pc's.
Ok I found out. For those who could meet the problem, just switch Blender Render with Cycles Render in the top header! :) Great tutorial Andrew! Thank you! Cheers!
Im still new to Blender, there's so much in here I haven't tried! I'm sure it will take me a while to work through this, but it's going to be a fun project!
The bits in the center of the flower are the stamens and pistils. The stamens are the male bits of which anthers are a part and the pistils are the female bits.
Awesome bideos sir I just completed the donut series and now going for this one. The explanations are crystal clear I like the way u teach. Awesome reached
When you asked‘‘why can't this be here all year?’’ That reminded me of a question‘‘Why do bad things happen’’ so i came up with a answer. Bad things happen so the good things can be worth it. Therefore that only appears once a year, so it will be special. If we had that tree all year would become just another tree.
To clear the rotation you can use 'Alt R' instead of clearing each axis one by one in the properties menu. You can also clear the position with 'Alt G'
how to make animated flowers-vinese etc? im photoshop artist and photographer, but like to create moving vines. I cant find anything about it. is it possible in blener? or is it possible use photo files in blender and make on it animation?
Thank you for dwelling on the displacement, and inluding the bit about ctrl-L, I just learned how to use shift-l and ctrl-l the other day, but that really reinforced my usage elsewhere, keep it up
You have great load of thoughtful tutorials, am very grateful for your affords to share knowledge with us. As well, you are very talented entertainer. If I may suggest few things....sorry. ? Viewing the fact that your tutorials loaded with great amount of info, it is very usable for total novices to take a study phase fast in to advanced stages. It be very advantageous in my humble opinion, if you'd be able a) to verbalize every short cut you are using. and to apply materials and colors at all mashes at one time. But THANK YOU AGAINE!
I don't know if you noticed... since I only noticed it a few days ago, but the shortcuts are shown in the lower left of the 3d view (every key he presses actually including mouse buttons). So there is no need to verbalize every shortcut he is using.
Ivan Dojcinovski I cant fallow him ..it is really for a small kids only, ....but they are those ready to pay for curses, so he does right thing to attract his clients
since time the efficient person wouldn't and shouldn't afford wasting so much time on way too prolonged , unobvious tutorials. Time is asset, invest it instead of spread it....wasting it..
Stamen. Anther (top bulb on stamen), Your story about the red flower: Honeysuckle. It's a weed in US too. Evidently it was a native NZ plant that is invasive here. They smell like heaven! And I used to do the same thing as a kid. (Eventually, I have to do this tut.)
Great tutorial! Thank you very much! I have a question: Would it be (stem) more accurate if you link the "color" from the Texture node to the Glossy Shader "color"? (min. 38:40 or min. 57:03) Thus, the texture also receive the correct brightness, I Think.
To flatten out the verts, start scaling on the z axis and press 0 to make all the selected verts on the same level. That's how you "flatten" them out. But to be honest the bottom part of the flower petal isn't really going to be viewed so it's not that big a deal anyway.
heres to those who dont have a photo editing program and cant edit post processing. in blender, you have you layers of flower, right? the one in the right bottom corner which are big and close to the camera? and you have the background branches. add a plane, rotate it so its facing you from the camera view, and put it in between the foreground flowers and the background branch. give the plane a glass texture and roughneess of no more than 0.02
Gimp is decent for when you just need to get the job done, but I definitely think most people who use blender have access to photoshop one way or another. It's what most people I know use and are most familiar with.
Many plants the blossoms will change drastically based on the mineral content and ph level of the soil. Some are more hard coded in the genetics of the plant but will vary based on the soil slightly.
great tutorial, but when you use blender, I think it would be much cooler to finish the picture in gimp instead of photoshop. And you dont need magic bullet looks, it will also work with gradation curves and other filters =)
First off I love your videos! I am trying to make a flower in blender cause of your tutorial. Secondly, the nodes are pretty confusing, the nodes I have in my blender are different than yours. I just have two nodes named material and output instead of the Diffuse BSDF and Material output. Did I do something wrong or... is this simply an old version that is on this video?
As someone who is also married to an Asian, I find it amusing that you set the premise that these asians only have cameras at the ready because it's Cherry Blossom season, my wife will take pictures of the inside of a gas station if I let her. My biggest joke with her as she tells me it's to preserve memories that my only memory is of me taking pictures for her.
April Jones I've spent a lot of time in China, there is a cultural obsession with photos, sorry to state that a stereotype is based on some truth, but it is... in my experience it's been to an absurd degree.
Hey Andrew if you're reading this, do an intro like video copilot. _Hey it's Andrew Price from Blender Guru dot net, and welcome to another exciting tutorial._
2013 was very different year ... now ppl starts to get offended by anything related to Gender ... how have the times changed ... But whatever the year it is Sakura will still bloom ...
Apologies for the intro guys. I guess younger me was trying to be edgy, but I cringe today when I hear it. There's nothing wrong with liking flowers ;)
Blender Guru I got a kick out of it.
With the current version of blender do you think you could use SSS to get the desired effect as well for the pedals?
Pls make more long videos like this Andrew I cant understand the 20 min versions of your tutorials :(
It's okay Andrew
we love character development :)

Andrew: 37:30 "I think [this tutorial] is going to be one of the longest ever."
Me: [Laughs in Spaceship Hallway Tutorial]
Thanks for another great tuorial. I'm just starting with blender and searching for tutorials on net, but yours are best so far. You explain clearly what You're doing, not like other guys which are setting thousands of parameters and no one knows wtf are they doing and why.
17:30 if you're curious, that's either the stamen or the pistil, which are basically the flower's reproductive organs.
Whoa people are still watching this tutorial?
The flowers you used to eat as a kid are called Honeysuckles. I used to eat them as a kid as well! Other than that, great tutorial as always :).
Not eat them , we use to suck the nectar out of the flower : D

You can see he edited that out now actually
Damnit he edited out. My gayness was waiting :(

This is cool and looks like a good blender exercise.
Omg that looks like a real photograph. You are truly a wizard!

Gay flowers and phantom farters in bars. Love this tutorial.
10yo tutorial came in clutch for my Japanese garden scene haha.
If anyone is having problems with the flowers showing up in render mode, like they're invisible or completely black, add a texture coordinate node and connect the "generated" string to the "vector" at the backside of the image texture node
a hole in your pocket ? that's such a great story, a hole in your pocket is guiding you through the city, the best way to let your subconscious lead your way !
dude... you are awesome. Just modelling a seashell and finding so many useful hints I wouldn't find anywhere esle (and believe me - I looked!).
1 AND A 1/2 HOUR WELL SPENDED.
Really liked this one. Length was fine. Stories did the trick.
8:14 back when Andrew never had a texture site that he had to borrow from other site
amazing tutorial. where do we download the texture that you are using in 08:20 from? Thank you
yah man did you find a way to download the texture

Tada---- BRRRRRRRRRT. They have perfect timing with their horns.
if there is ever a tutorial that I watch, it's yours. No one can explain it any better. Keep up the good work!
Hey, seems like a great tutorial. I just have one question, where can I find the image you used for the petal?
This so beautiful cherry blossom love to take photoshoot.great art piece of design when you know how to paint and do this
best blender model ever
The bits in the center of the flower are the stamens and pistils. The stamens are the male bits of which anthers are a part and the pistils are the female bits.
Thee most beautiful tree in the world I love Sakura! thanks for this congrats
very nice tutorial, although long enough, but learnt so many hotkeys,tricks for modeling, material, lighting, use of hdr images etc.
Awesome bideos sir
I just completed the donut series and now going for this one.
The explanations are crystal clear I like the way u teach. Awesome reached
These flowers are beautiful ... "nature is bazaar, look at these...argh"

me as a novice in blender and Korean, I learned alot from this tutorial and enjoyed the bar fart story!

You are so wonderful, I really appreciate your teaching and please don't worry about the noise. I
The intro was entertaining :D
how to make animated flowers-vinese etc? im photoshop artist and photographer, but like to create moving vines. I cant find anything about it. is it possible in blener? or is it possible use photo files in blender and make on it animation?
Those flowers which had honey like juice, they are jasmines :) I used to do it too when I was young :D
Thank you for dwelling on the displacement, and inluding the bit about ctrl-L, I just learned how to use shift-l and ctrl-l the other day, but that really reinforced my usage elsewhere, keep it up
the flower u tasted as a kid, were they white? i remember doing that too. white flowers which taste like sugars if from their backs
Thanks, I'm 100% manly but cherry blossoms are so peaceful and peace is totaly welcome in my full life.
Tutorial is not boring at all. Learned a lot :-)
You have great load of thoughtful tutorials, am very grateful for your affords to share knowledge with us. As well, you are very talented entertainer. If I may suggest few things....sorry. ?

Anastazia Stieglitz This is for small kids? Since when?

Andrew gave us a great pill of knowledge and wisdom with subtle and beautiful cherry blossom. There's nothing gay about it.
greatest intro to a tutorial yet!! ....AAAANNDD today gentlemen we are making PINK FLOWERS lol
Stamen. Anther (top bulb on stamen), Your story about the red flower: Honeysuckle. It's a weed in US too. Evidently it was a native NZ plant that is invasive here. They smell like heaven! And I used to do the same thing as a kid. (Eventually, I have to do this tut.)
I think the flowers you were eating were honeysuckle. I used to eat them as a kid, too.
hey Andrew, I am diggin this tutorial, length and all. personally don't have a problem with the length and I like the details you rambled about. jsyk!
Great tutorial! Thank you very much!
I have a question: Would it be (stem) more accurate if you link the "color" from the Texture node to the Glossy Shader "color"? (min. 38:40 or min. 57:03) Thus, the texture also receive the correct brightness, I Think.
Im not a gentleman and I appreciate this video :)

Your small Family is so beatuiful!
One of the first Tutorials I ever did, still have it on my hard drive.
It is very take it easy to view cherry blossoms!
I've not watched this yet but I can tell its going to be awesome
Still worth seeing even after 10 years! 😀
2:17 I do this too! "I want to go home and make this happen in blender"
heres to those who dont have a photo editing program and cant edit post processing. in blender, you have you layers of flower, right? the one in the right bottom corner which are big and close to the camera? and you have the background branches. add a plane, rotate it so its facing you from the camera view, and put it in between the foreground flowers and the background branch. give the plane a glass texture and roughneess of no more than 0.02
The final render remember me of Hanamura from Overwatch, truly beautiful.
am at 1:03 now, just glad this bright and - how shall I call it - 'special' guy is among us. thank you for sharing!
In 18:34 when I click on New, my petal becomes big, but not so curvy at all and it doesn't react to the empty object. Any advice?
...and I thought I would be stuck at wall and non organic builds.... then here you come to save me. hahahaha!
i lik that the videos are long so that you don`t miss anything
Amazing flowers, thanks for the tutorial, I found exact what I was looking for:)
7:25 is where the tutorial starts
(note to my future self lol)
Thank you
Gimp is decent for when you just need to get the job done, but I definitely think most people who use blender have access to photoshop one way or another. It's what most people I know use and are most familiar with.
26:36 - "Nature is weird, it's ugly, it's bizarre.... so we're gonna model it" lmfao xD
fantastic tutorial. My result turn out really well. Thanks i learned a lot.
This was really useful. I'm using it do make a flowerbed of lily type flowers
The flower you are talking about at around 45:40 is a honey suckle I think. We actually have them in the states
thank you for nice explain .
Stamen. The word you are looking for is Stamen. Not bud-bars.
I loved this tutorial. It was really funny.
Many plants the blossoms will change drastically based on the mineral content and ph level of the soil. Some are more hard coded in the genetics of the plant but will vary based on the soil slightly.
THANK YOU!!! LIFESAVER! it gave me a good guidance/idea of how to create it. (will be using Maya though)
might be late but I think you were referring to Ixoras, those lil sweet flowers ;')
great tutorial, but when you use blender, I think it would be much cooler to finish the picture in gimp instead of photoshop. And you dont need magic bullet looks, it will also work with gradation curves and other filters =)
Cherry blossoms are rather manly I think. A symbol of the shortness and futility of the life of a samurai warrior.
just love your tutorials!!!!!!!
First off I love your videos! I am trying to make a flower in blender cause of your tutorial.
Secondly, the nodes are pretty confusing, the nodes I have in my blender are different than yours. I just have two nodes named material and output instead of the Diffuse BSDF and Material output. Did I do something wrong or... is this simply an old version that is on this video?
ah okay thank you :)
I can never do this with the new version of blender :D and I desperately need to do this. Hilarious.! I will try anyway.
As someone who is also married to an Asian, I find it amusing that you set the premise that these asians only have cameras at the ready because it's Cherry Blossom season, my wife will take pictures of the inside of a gas station if I let her. My biggest joke with her as she tells me it's to preserve memories that my only memory is of me taking pictures for her.

long tutorials are awesome :D please do more!!!
I was kinda bored so I decided to watch what I thought would be a short tutorial. Didn't expect an hour and a half long tutorial for cherry blossoms.
YAAAAASSS!!! I am down to be frustrated making Cherry blossoms!!!
Hey Andrew if you're reading this, do an intro like video copilot.
_Hey it's Andrew Price from Blender Guru dot net, and welcome to another exciting tutorial._
I love your tutorials, and I do love cherry blossom trees, plus 16'th may is my name day (I'm from Poland), thanks for this tutorial :)
2013 was very different year ... now ppl starts to get offended by anything related to Gender ... how have the times changed ... But whatever the year it is Sakura will still bloom ...
I believe the pointy stick things are called stamens, and the weird green thing is called a calyx....
What a monster do you have? What a video card? Render in 7 minutes :D
sli Titan x i guess
gtx 970 SLI.. i think..
awesome as usual,
PS don't worry so much about the small stuff ....
you are the best out here.

Andrew, I think you were talking about honeysuckles! We have them in Canada.
Lol the old lady fart story got me laughing at like 6 am havent slept yet
