This channel has HUGE potential. Please keep going - the subscribers and views will come!
It is shocking how little attention it gets
it took me 9 months to fully learn and remake what you taught us. it was worth the journey. thank you.
Before I compliment this tutorial I must compliment your intro. Its short, stylish, distinct, and gets me pumped up everytime I see one of your tutorials float by my subscription feed. Love your work!
Astonishing. So simple, so straightforward and so breathtakingly effective and even believable.
I cannot begin to thank you for sharing this with the world.
Thank you! I’ve been looking for months for a good lightning tutorial and nothing! You’re the best
In my opinion this is one of the best blender channels on RUclips!
I agree!
In my opinion too!
agreed as well, despite casually using blender for 2 years im still learning new things with these tutorials
再同意不過~This channel is definitely underrated~
Sad donuts noises in background 😂😂
I have been looking for this for months! Then today, I found your amazing lava tutorial, checked your channel, and there I found this!
Your tutorials are killing it
Very nice; I'm gonna use this one a LOT.
Just found and subbed. I really like your effects tutorials.
Thank you for the useful reference. For 2.82 folks may find it easier to make a thin plane rather than reducing it down to a line of vertices as extruding has changed. Some of the values in various modifiers and shaders have also changed, so you may need to experiment with the numbers, but the basic ratios in the tutorial between displacement and texture instances still hold. I found myself ending up with a more coiled lightning effect rather than the jagged lightning in the video - reminiscent of the Ghostbuster's particle thrower, and a basis for further experimentation. Using different texture types yields some interesting results for example.
The key take away for me was using weight painting on some of the displacement mappings on the beam, which gives lightning arcs more character.
I tried to follow this tutorial in blender 2.8 and failed miserably. I'm a beginner and I have made a broad sword. I want the lightning the strike the broadsword and kindof stay around like the sweeping floor example. I made the sword on my own but I'm looking for a blender 2.8 tutorial. Iridium makes the best tutorials but this one is pretty outdated since blender changed a while ago
Have a look for Tesla Coil Lightning tutorial - that can build on some of the elements here. It's also a 2.7 tutorial IIRC, but most of the features track. From that you may be able to make lightning that uses the shrinkwrap modifier to get the effect you want.
@@funkypartyweasel ay appreciate it, I'll check it out
Great tuts you got here and i hope to see more soon!
Amazing! As always ;D Good job and nice tutorial!
This is an awesome tutorial and your channel is totally amazing overall ! 👍
Really the best way so far to make this FX. 👌🏻
Thanks for the tutorial this will help a lot of my electric animation
Thanks for this! the result is awesome :D
Thanks man for such awesome tutorials🔥🔥
Thanks for sharing this tutorial!!
Great tutorial! Thank you!
use this tutorial to create some nice looking electricity lightning ... Thanks a lot .. this helped me so freakin much.
Rendering right now .. will be back with the final output !!
Very good tutorial. Thank you.
that was a really inspiring tutorial
Very nice tutorial!
Your channel is amazing.
Crazy intro, I like
Suscribed and amazed by your tutorials sir
Amazing tutorial! I was wondering how to change the textures through time which is used for modifiers (so coordinates can't be changed by nodes like a texture for materials) and you just made this video! I'm really happy because of it 😁 i would like to make a symbiote from "Venom" movie, so this will be usefull i think. Also you other tutorials are great! I made a tesseract and time stone with your tutorial about volumetrics (not so original, in fact you showed the renders of them, but didn't show how you made them). Keep up the good work 😉
that is what i needed!
I’m learning how to use blenders so thank you
That was Awesome
This is gold !
OMG!! Very nice :)
looks pretty good, great tut! think it would look really good in cycles in a full scene, also would this work in eevee ?
This is by far the best effect I could find on the internet but this is really hard to make.
This is the best I've seen for Blender. However you mentioned you did the glow in After Effects - for anyone that has access to this I would just do my electricity in AE cause it has a lightning generator with adjustable forking and you get much better results in my opinion.
Brilliant
Yep, millions and millions of vets rarely actually improves the scene, you should see some of my cluster f'*$!. Thanks for sharing
Great tutorial and technique. I bet an emission shader with bloom in EEVEE would have made a similar effect if not better a bit easier than using after effects.
So cool
I love you. You're saving me right now
I've done every step by both instruction & inventory-stats and all of my 3 projects never looked anything like yours.
@@user-dl8yo3wv1t (I'm late but what-efs) I did manage to now duplicate the project. Now my lightning looks exactly like his.
The second one looks nice for my narberal gamma model
Nice Intro.
You Are Next Blender Guru
Or CGgeek
Now Blender Guru is not like before he just takes interviews and some more interviews and.....okay! leave it you what i am talking about
I have an idea - how about adding a smooth smoke simulation to the lightning strike and giving the emissive white to the high resolution smoke?!
thanks~😘
You could in theory use the same Lightning trick to recreate Kylo Ren's Lightsaber effect. The Red Lightning at 13:05 almost has the similar distortion if not using the middle offset displacement. I'd love to see that effect on a lightsaber hilt.
Nice
Please make a video to step by step model a handgun. I like your toutorials very much and you explain everything very nicely. Thank you
Blender + After Effects is so OP tbh
Hello! Love the tutorial, how do you do the thing you mentioned at the end with the mesh being tied to the rigid bodies?
Hello sir, I've been watching your videos a lot lately because I am a blender artist like yourself, and I was shocked to see how small your view count was in most of your videos, as well as how low your subscription count is. I suggest, for the advancement of your channels career, that perhaps you make your videos a bit more interesting. For example, make a video based on how to create something from a popular movie, like the surface of the moon from "First Man", or the infinity gauntlet, anything that's popular among creators and media. I look forward to watching more videos from you, and the expansion of this channel.
also you have the coolest intro I've ever seen.
It's so sad that some people don't have numpads :(
BUT GREAT VIDEO!
in user preferences....in the input tab.....you can turn on the "emulate numberpad" option to use number keys on top of the keyboard as numpad keys....hope it was helpful.👍🏻
@@onyxkane Thanks but I recently reset my laptop so I gotta wait until it updates.
@@chess-maniac good luck👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice method. Could benefit from smaller number of FPS, it’d look more frantic
Can u please redo this in the modern blender
I can finaly create the Electric Plasmid from Bioshock!
Nice, however a lot has changed in blender ever since this tutorial was made. Do you still think that after effects is the fastest way to add the glow or is eevee now equipped for that too? And are there any other things you would do different now?
Thanks for sharing!
But, till I know , the displacement actually does not work on evee, it just uses bump, but you can add a glow node in compositor while post processing
Check out Peter France's lightning tutorial. Its a new tutorial so its updated
There is bloom option for render in eevee
if you want to render it in cycles then add glare node in compositor and choose fog glow
UNLIMITTEEEDD POOWWEEERRRRR!!
2 years later, can I have a download for this? :P
o my goodness!
where did you find the modifier when you mentioned select something called cloud anmation?
Displace modifier
I love the effect that is created using this approach in Blender. Is it possible to export this as an animation to Unity? I've tried several times with no joy. I think it has to do with location, rotation, and scale not changing, but merely the dimensions of the object. Would appreciate any insight you can provide. Thanks.
I'mma do this for my Tesla batteries!
wow
I'm curious how you attached the two ends so it can be moved about?
Very difficult tutorial if youre new to blender,lol,love the way way it looks but kinda fast to follow if you dont know where everything is.
Excellent VFX! Thanks a lot for sharing.
Edit: Please make this tutorial for EEVEE also. I think EEVEE will not be too much slower than AE.
I did basically what you have said and my "beam" is bugging. I use blender 2.79. Did I do something wrong or it's all random and I simply have no luck?
So can we render this cool looking scene with blender internal render engine?
Is there a particular reason you made the line at 2:05 by collapsing the plane on the y-axis, rather than just deleting the two vertices?
Petition to get a video oh how to texture the lighting And do that constraint thing at the end for 2.8
you know wt would b more cooler ?
rigged electricity !
i have used a curve as mesh and displaced it then
i used armature subdivided it a few times and parent the mesh to armature and
at the both ends i used inverse kinematics and parented to a new object and now
i have. 2 points to control where the electricity goes
can't we simply create the glow effects using the glare node in the compositor?
Is there a way to make it loop?
00:25 I'm looking for the name of those audio effects. Do you guys know the name of those ones or a tag so I can find similar ones? "Electricity" "lightning" and "sci-fi" didn't give me good results
me too did you get it ???? where i can find ???
bro i found it check all videos, good one mixed with bad ones

@@digitalgear9 Oh crap. Those are actually really good. Thx, dude
How did you glowed the objects in after effects?
Imagery looks great, audio takes away from it though. Because the sound doesn’t match what you’re seeing
It's been 4 months. Where are you now?
Dude, any idea how to make a colorful explosion in Blender ?
Are you using any custom addons and keybinds?
Hi. I saw you were using OS X and Mac. What is your configuration?
Im following this step by step and not getting any result close to yours.
Could anyone help me out with the constraint setup at 13:43 ?
If so, then the power of that engine is super high than we think it has. Right?
How to make light and glow for that beam?
Bro please make a tutorial on car nitrous
Can someone explain how he got the fading effects at 13:12?
Can you redo this tutorial for Blender 2.8?
wow! so cool
can i join with your patreon?
I’ve been wondering,.. how can you get a text to appear within the electricity ?
May i request you to again make the tut on Blender 2.8, i am not able to follow especially animation part, i hope its not too much
thanks
which blender virsion you used for this.
can't understand how do you do vertex weight. I'm using Blender 2.83
Can I use it in my 3d katana game
can someone help me how i can apply that displace modifier (for zigzag effect) to "CURVES" as i am willing to make some moving electricity (like you see on thor's armour in THOR RAGNAROK).......or if someone could suggest a way to achieve this please help me.
I want thor's hammer and body lightning. This is more electric. Stylized sci-fi, less realistic.
How would I keyframe this? Is it possible?
Cool but After FX does very nice lightening itself.
But Blender is free
Its only free if you dont' donate to support its development.
Blender is only free if you don't donate to support its development which does cost money.
Perhaps I used the wrong word. Blender is open source.
Ok, I'm not sure why that makes a difference.@@jessetomi
can u make a vid like this with blender 2.92
You should really work in the default workspace when making tutorials
please, which blender version is this?
