- In this tutorial we go over how to use procedural (mathematically generated) textures to create a cave. Once you've watched this tutorial you should have the skills and knowledge you need to create the basis for a cave for game art, renders, or whatever else you need a cave for! Enjoy!
Thanks to a good buddy by the name of Lincoln, this tutorial was born!

A very nice Bob Ross style tutorial
Marco Robbesom best compliment ever
I wanted to make the same comment! whaha
With a touch 👌 of Mathew McConaughey maybe?🤷🏼♂️
At 1:25 in the video, it's actually CONTROL and RIGHT clicking in Blender 2.8. Awesome video, thank you!
Exactly right. Thanks John!
6 years later, I finally gave up on ever finding a good duct tutorial, and instead tried my luck on a cave tutorial!
Wow, I just made my first "real" blender model ever by following this tutorial! You really made my day. I'd been struggling with blender for a while (and mostly failing), but I needed a cave for the AnyRPG Engine starter kit and this tutorial was simple enough to follow that I succeeded and am very happy with the result!
So great to hear
Very enjoyable tutorial. Informative, easy to follow, relaxed and friendly presentation. Looking forward to more. Thanks.
Philip Arrowsmith thanks Philip! Really happy you enjoyed it!
Dude, absolute legend, thanks for this, perfect for VR isolation
Good idea
Derek, I love your sense of humor
Jake Thalacker you the man, Jake! Glad you're enjoying that element
A few things have changed, but still a really helpful video up in 2020. Thanks!
Amazing! I need to make a cave for one of my creative prompts, can't wait to give it a try. Thank you, thank you.
Of course, best of luck!
I love this. Keep up the good work!
I've been trying to make an air-duct for AGES! This was just what I needed
So happy you found this secret trick
i sometimes watch these tutorials for meditation. thanks derek!
Hold up!! I'm dying over here! ay too funny! Love it!🤣🤣🤣 Good vibes!
Exactly what I was looking for. Great tutorial!
For those who can't find the option to flip mesh normals , To flip normals in Blender, enter edit mode and select the faces with normals you want flipped. Choose “Mesh” from the top menu and then find “Normals” and expand the options. Select “Flip” and normals of the selected faces will be flipped.
Another great looking tutorial... here we go...
Let me know how it goes!
Have it a like just based on how relatable the first joke is for me
Me when I started Blender. Except more WoW and less Blender
Been using this program for so long, and still learnt that you can ctrl + left click to extrude to mouse. That'll save me tons of key presses.
Ah yes great trick
I had a problem with the shortcuts you take in the Node Editor panel. I solved the problem by activating Node Wrangler into the Input preferences of Blender .
Thank you a lot for this tutorial, it is great and the final result looks awesome!
Mirko Saiu thank you! Glad you solved the problem. Node Wrangler is awesome!
I've had the same problem and your tip saved my day, thanks a lot! Also, after activating Node Wrangler, I still couldn't find the Shader option in the menu, so I searched a little and realized the problem was that I was using Blender Render (in top of the screen) and for this to show, we need to use Cycles Render (the same used in the tutorial), so if anyone is having the same issue, that's the answer.
Thanks a lot Mirko, and also thanks Derek for this great tutorial.
Ah yes I've seen that as a common issue too. I think new versions of blender don't have the blender render option.
Thank you for such a nice tutorial...
Wow good tut bro! Thx!
the best tutorial
Onggo Setiawan no, onggo, u r best
really cool ty I really like it
Damn, that was a cool tutorial *:D*
Sithhy thank you! You are cool
Спасибо!
10/10 air duct tutorial
lmfao - Hey, I made an Air Duct, lets call it a day. )) Hope you see this comment! Best tutorial ever! Like Bob Ross with humor! Loved it and thank you!
Secret air duct tutorial revealed!
@@DerekElliott Lol yeah at my level that would be enough )) Waiting to see more tutorials on 2.8. I think lighting is my greates foe now :
I have been thinking about doing some!
@@DerekElliott It will be a godsent! If you please - a tutorial on best evee render settings, and also can you please tell me why my cycle preview works slower and looks horrile in 2.8? It works perfect in 2.79
Very vague so hard to say, could be a lot. Are you set to utilize your gpu? You might have forgot to enable it for 2.8
that is an ASMR worthy voice :o
🤩
THANKS FROM LINCOLN
Hopefully it works out! Let me know if he needs help!
Very cool man! Would like to see more vids
Ahadh Ahmedh I definitely will make more! What are you interested in learning more about?
Some stuff like labs, apartments etc.
Hey dude, what's the best format to export this?
Ahadh Ahmedh you can apply the modifiers and export the cave mesh to a .fbx or other format depending on your needs. Not sure about how the texture would best be exported though since it's procedural
This is, by far, the best tutorial on cave construction, on y/t.
I really enjoy this tutorial, but the earlier Blender version used, makes it difficult for me to complete the project.
Any plans on an updated version?
Thanks for the great tips!
This might be a fun one to update!
@@DerekElliott That would be perfect.
w00p w00p 666th like! Cave of the Beast
I'm going to try this tomorrow evening, but attempt to have the Voronoi running in vertical loops rather than portaying horizontal stratification
Sounds like a good plan you devil Steve
GRACIAS!!!!
De nada
lol, that airduct comment broke me. nice video
Haha hope your airduct turned out solid
@@DerekElliott nothing that would pass inspection im sure.
Voronoi Texture is kinda different now in blender. Do you an alternative or a new method ?
Is it possible (could you give some hints) how to work with it further, to cut it in modular pieces? (for later use as game assets?)I assume it should be possible to cut this cave halls in pieces,and after some remaking creating modules for making whole complexes of caves?
Iza Bella if you apply all the modifiers you can then go in to edit mode and select an area, press P, separate by selection. Then you can save parts individually as a FBX or whatever
Now if you want to make an airduct, you're done! ... cracked me up ...
:)
reminds me of Anthelope canyon in Arizona
GameArx Games exactly! That was kind of my reference
I think "stucci" is pronounced "stoochy" like Gucci.
zontar thank you!
That is correct.
Thanks Phil
Hi Derek, I'm going to try this out. Can you tell me what version of blender you used for this? I have several versions DL'd but would like to use the same version you used - it's easier to follow along. I'm pretty sure it's some variant of 2.7. Thanks and thanks for the tutorial. Best.
Yes I am not sure but you can probably see on the bottom corner
5:45 Looks like Cave of Swords, Mexico
looks great, but how would I go from the cave on the screen to being able to export i a .dae format to import into open sim/SL? thanks
Hmm I'm not sure about the best way to do that export
Stupid question, can I add a larger room of the cave like to put an arena?
Absolutely! Make it as big and cavernous as you like!
The power of default cube
Unlimited power
0:00 Amazing buisness pitch!
Im gun a make one of these but jm gunna want to add a model of a person trying to round out like theres an expolsion in that light sided area.... any advice on doing that???
That would be awesome! Once you have the cave you can put your person model inside it and get the camera set up really cool then add any other effects you want.
@@DerekElliott thats the plan but im very new to rendering... i only recently upgraded my computer to allow me to be able to do it ... so still iffy on the what goes where for good lighting in this type of scene.... the very first tjing i want to render with that cave setting had a golden shinny style armour and orher colpurs donubhappen to have a lighting techneqe to make the humnoid model made the scene best i can????
Check out some of Ducky 3D tutorials on working with humanoid models
Great Tutorial, but im stuck with adding the new Material to the cave. Im completly new to blender and dont know how to open the second preview window.
If you click and drag in the corners of Windows you can split them. After that you can use a little drop-down to change the window to a shader editor (2.8) aka node editor (2.7x)
@@DerekElliottThank you for this fast and helpful answer :D
Hi - I've done everything and applied the shaders but my cave is still black and white, how did you get back to colour?
Check your shader editor to be sure it's all linked up and you use color in your color ramp
Derek what format are you using?
Format for what in particular?
Didn't you modify the set up of your controls cause my looks nothing like yours
Lincoln Raju Johnson ah, yes! I think I'll do a little video going over that.
12:04 okay but uh *where did you get that entire menu from*
Are you talking about where I added the material? These options would be at the top by default in 2.8 if the window is set to a shader editor. Material can also be added on the right side tabs
I did everything step by step, but stuck on stucci. Nothing happened, i'v changed it and nothing ((
I'm using Blender 2.80 and cannot figure out how to get the procedural texture to show on the object. Blender creates the texture but refuses to add it to the model.
Same
At 12:20 I am having trouble switching the Shader box from Diffuse to Principled, because SHIFT-S does not seem to work in Blender 2.80 Release Candidate 3. I can delete the Diffuse Shader and add a Principled Shader, but I cannot change the shader type. I cannot seem to find anything relevant in Google either. I feel stupid. Can anyone help?
Enable the NODE WRANGLER add-on. Should come with 2.8. just go to preferences, add-ons, and search/enable. It has a lot of other features too
@@DerekElliott Thanks! ahhaha
Can you tell me the name of the aap
10:54 how did you "turn off" the lights in the viewport, for exception of the one you manually put in there? I cannot understand that and i cannot proceed with the tutorial X(. You just say "bleeah" instead of explaining that step sadly...
Sorry I'm not sure what part you are talking about.. Maybe turning world strength to zero?
im having trouble with the shader. I copied everything you did and it only came out as brown
not a single line or indent in the ground NOTHING. just plain brown color
Make sure everything is connected in nodes and check your texture scales. Also make sure you are using object mapping not UV
@@DerekElliott oh lol now it makes sense. also I want to connect this cave to an other map I made for my game that I'm making with my brother. how would I go about doing that?
@@DerekElliott so wait how do i get to the mode your talking about? im in shader editor rn
@@raptermaster4608 in the shader editor, what controls how the texture is applied
i havent lived with my mom for years
but yes
you need to make a new video
6:09 look like Hentai's
Heh
One criticism and it is a visual criticism, when you are adding procedural textures you fidget with your cursor and positioning of the upper right view constantly. In blunt terms, it's fucking annoying as hell. Let go of the mouse or learn to stop fidgeting with the pointer and dragging left right, top down to make it easier on the human eye. Other than that, a very enjoyable narration and video to learn.
Marc Driftmeyer thank you for your honest critique! I know I do that... I'm trying to get better 😉
I love this. Keep up the good work!
Will do, Jay!
