TRIAL AND ERROR INNIT??? hahah great technique man
Beautiful display. Always enjoy your diorama builds, man!
Clickbait! I thought this was a Ghostbusters movie rip.
Missed opportunity there to have some Ghost hunter heroes! Well untill next time!!!
This diorama looks nice, effective and pure, as if the models were actual spirit forms emanating from within the gloop. Thanks for sharing.
This freaking rocks! The underlighting was a great choice to bring out the details.
Very cool. The ghostly glow effect seemed even more prominent in well lit end scene than it did in the dark setting.
man! your vids are in my top ten most commonly random videos watched during my hobby time for months and I realized only in this moment that I'm still not stomped my finger in the screen to get my subscription to the channel!!!
what a mess, blame on me and my ancestors!
Great job Luke!
That looks like an awesome new water texture technique
Very cool man. Nice trick with pausing the print to change the colour of the resin. Learned a lot from this video!
....and I didn't skip lol
Every time I watch your videos it really makes me want to just jump straight back in.. man wish I had the funds to take it up again lols.
Maybe next time you can try making the portal effects light up.
Drill holes on the platform where the portal connects to the base. Fill the holes with resin and glue the portal over the holes. Then bring the lights underneath holes and point them up the holes. Hopefully the light is strong enough to go up and eliminate the effects. The best way would be to print the base and portal together in clear resin then paint it. Be sure to leave the bottom unpainted.
'Ow do, our Luke? That's a damn fine looking diorama. Maybe you could do some KoW movement trays like this?

bruh 🤣
Very cool. I just got some clear resin recently too for an upcoming project.
Cheers Luke ,
Nice diorama , Thanks for the share .
Keep up the grand graft ,
~Luv~Luv~Luv~
Great for a Necron Tomb world
Cool! Please wear a mask when handling resin and if you don't already make sure you ventilate the printer area.
and gloves...
Now this is right up my Strasse xxx
I always love seeing you do some experimentation. It's consistently inspiring. End result looks pretty rad too!
Love seeing artists just letting themselves play and explore! It's scary how rare that is, we're so trained to make everything "worth" the time - but the time is also worth spending just for ourselves. Keep on keepin' on!
Sweet my 1st printer arrives tomorrow never done this before. The biggest thing was can i print clear because i always wanted to do a led chess set. Now i know thanks mate been bingein a lot of your vids to learn wtf i am doing. :)
Now that one was very kool regardless. Great channel. Keep em going.
I've just started thinking about how to put together a lighted diorama base yesterday, so this video arrived with perfect timing! Great job, and very cool idea with the 2-layer resin transition!
Awesome idea Luke! Love it 😀
That sir, is flippin amazing!!!!
Neat! Splitting the print that way is a cool hack.
Looks amazing! Love the ripple effects in the clear resin
Looks fantastic
Very cool effect, the paint job looks great with the lights underneath.
Gorgeous!!
Awesome work man. Love the effects you’ve achieved with it!
This is sooooo good to see. I've had an itch to try something very similar to this, but just haven't yet. This definitely inspires me to see it through. Great job Luke. I've been a patron of CGF for just at a year and a half. They deliver the goods every month. Amazing releases always.
"trial and error innit..." love it
Dude this looks awesome! Nice work!
Looks amazing for the amount of work, great work mate.
So atmospheric and so nicely done...👍👍
Great inspiration Luke 👍🏻
My new favourite video Luke! I’m a death player and this is inspiring. Glasses look good by the way.
Great stuff. I've got good results painting alcohol directly onto the model after printing, but before final curing.
Excellent effect!
Awesome to see you try that kind of new things. Very cool!
Sweet video, and awesome diorama! Some nice tricks in there for sure, looking forward to try them out in future projects. Keep it up man!
This looks awesome.
Awsome build!
Mate! All about lighting and you nailed it. Fantastic work as always 🔥
I loved this! Looked amazing!
Great job dude 👍🏻 looks awesome 😁
That is awesome!
Clear resin is great, it's my standard resin now because of things like this.
But you are making it harder for yourself than it needs to be. Instead of adding the alcohol ink to the vat, you can simply paint the finished prints with it. Use some acetone (gotta be somewhat quick though, doesn't work well once the ink is dry) to smooth it out and create transitions, even between different colors etc.
There is no noticeable difference in the end result, it tints the surface quite strongly if undiluted and looks as if it was this color all the way through. A glossy clear coat helps tons to sell the effect btw.
It looks great
Good job, looks smart.
Great work!!
Ty , I think the denatured alcohol really made a difference here
Love it!
very cool
That is sweet!
That's really cool
Awesome Stuff!
Amazing!
Nice one dude. Given me an idea for something. Looking forward to see what you come up with next
incredible!
Nice diorama, you gave me a very cool idea I have to try
Really cool video, luke
Very cool.😊
You get my juices flowin big man
very beautiful 👍
A shortcut you can take to achieve a similar effect is to print the model entirely in clear resin, then after curing paint it with alcohol inks - they don't require primer since they etch the surface resin enough to lay down their pigment. This works well for creating translucent ghosts, elementals, and spell effects. Very large objects may require a tint to the resin at print time, similar to the method Luke used.
Can confirm. Been using this technique for over a year now.
As to larger prints: you won't need to tint it at print time, the acohol inks are quite strong. I have a fairly large water elemental I did with this technique, it looks like it was entirely printed from colored resin with just a surface coat.
I love the look❤️❤️❤️❤️
Sublime!
Wow, what a great result! I would love to see a similar execution, but pouring in an opaque resin in the bottom, letting the clear parts glow with out the light from below. Could give a cool look as well.
Really cool! You could do some cool stuff with the lights too with something like a raspberry pi.
I have been playing around with resins myself, I had no idea that you could pour it that thick… I recently did a post on using uv printer resins to create wax and clear eggs and they turned out really great going to be more that soon… I’m excited to what else you do with the resin as well. Let the resin experiments begin!
Это открывает целое поле новых возможностей!
Try less main lighting and add small low watt spot type leds under a couple of points, particularly in front of the main figure and under the gateway, a slightly greener colour to make them the focus. I think it will create some really nice light depth to a great diorama
like you channel keep up the good vids on the channel thanks lee
Looks awesome! I always though clear resins cured faster as they’re, like, clear. Good to know as I have been thinking of getting some clear resin. Love the lighting effect as well. Great diorama and hope you will be making more!
They do, actually. No idea why he says they cure slower, they absolutely do not.
Dude, more playing around, please! Great stuff!
Cool experiment luke. Next time you could put the clear resin in the vat and add the pigment as the print progresses rather than emptying the vat to change the colour. Hope that makes sense might make changing colours/getting a gradient easier?!
@@GeekGamingScenics ah yea good point I suppose it depends on which way you want the gradient to travel.
I've also had issues with any UV light to get printer resins to cure without that crazy amount of warpage. I think its because it cures so fast it gets really hot. like really, a teaspoon amount of resin curing will heat up enough to burn you. and even small amounts of it warp on their own. UV resins for water effects cure much more slowly and stay smooth.
and you can mix acrylic inks into resin and it will cure fine as well. I've not tried it in a printer but I've used printer resin for casting.
It would be interesting to just start with a small amount of coloured resin, then keep adding more clear over time, which should dilute it more and more, or in reverse, add a little ink at a time, which should build up to a more opaque top.
heating resin inhot water before cutting makes it easier
I always wondered if I could pause a print and then start it back up...
Thanks.
in my experience clear resins cure faster than opaque. it can also cure in between tight supports or areas because it is clear, its also clear to the UV light. I was using it a lot because its cheaper but now I mix some grey in to prevent the print errors. its not a problem on bigger models that don't have crazy overhangs though.
if you constantly add clear resin while printing, you should get an even more impressive transition.
Nonetheless is the result really amazing. Like a Sorceress summoning spirits from the glowing goo!
I can understand why you say this, but wouldn't there be a problem with how well it is mixed in? Some parts/areas may be more pigmented than others. If the liquid was more like water, the mixing in would be easy, but resin with its viscosity would make it tough. Of course, this just mean experimentation is needed, though PRUSA printers have a mechanism that would help with mixing.
You should have taken paint off the base of the gate and over the attachment points of the arch so the light could pass though.
NerdForge brought me here.👍
You had me at '"...resin and alcohol.."
I've been researching how to print clear resin without it becoming cloudy and your use of denatured alcohol or methylated spirits has me intrigued. Do you have any other tips for printing clear resin so it comes out clear and smooth?
Looks Great!! I wonder what would have happened if you had left the gate to glass connection clear. If the Light would have come through the wispy bits on the gate. more of an questioning thought then a critique or anything.
Very nice work! Currently researching which printer and clear resin are going to produce good results on a budget. Did you say mineral spirits for cleaning? My englandish is a lit-el-bit rough.
This would be fun for creating a giant gelatinous cube. Make it a hollow box you can then place over a PC mini.
looks awesome. very creepy.
Noice.
This is genuinely creepy looking. Awesome!
Cool idea which turned out great!
I first thought you were going to add more ink to the resin as you printed (going from clear to opaque). But dark bottom => light top sure looks better, even if it's a bit more work with swapping the resing midway. (One could always turn the models upside down when printing^^, I guess)
You mentioned the LEDs were a bit bright. Have you ever tried using Optic Fiber Lights/Cables? It's a bit more expensive solution, but it's not nearly as bright as normal leds.
Been meaning to ask. Seen you use hot water when you remove the supports. You do that before or after curing the models?
I often wonder if RUclips guys have a really calm personality or do they just edit out all of the effing and jeffing when mistakes happen? I instantly have tourettes whenever I start hobbying 🤣
@@GeekGamingScenics 🤣🤣. Smudging oil paint is a nightmare too
What brand dry brush do you use? That thing has great coverage.
So you protected the clarity by using mineral spirits instead of ipa?
When zeroing your plate did u have to use extra sheets of paper for the g217? I was attempting to use it for the first time today and my mighty 8k couldn't 0 but this stuff seems thick so im guessing just needs like 2-3sheets of paper for the touch off for 0?
Reet juicy💪😁
