I do really love that you show us all your setup for the amazing nebula. i appreciate your work enormously. that said, i have to admit that it's really hard to follow the instructions. you jump from one group to the next and i sometimes can't quite follow what was done where and how. even though i haven't been able to recreate everything so far, the almost finished result is quite remarkable.
Guys, for all those who are in doubt, how he made the nodes that were already obtained in the scene, I will try to explain to you, the "Length" node you can apply by searching for "Vector Math" and the other nodes as "Multiply & Power" you can search just like "Math" and there within the settings of each node you will find the necessary layers!
As a professional programmer learning Blender, I really love your node "coding style." Lots of encapsulation and abstraction. I would love to see advice on how to organize your asset library to make reusing nodeGroups easy. I'm basically learning Blender by creating a library of shader and geo node "functions", but I haven't wrapped my head around a good file/folder structure yet.
Yeah, the aspect ratio is really bad, which is a bit surprising for a Blender expert. Nice to have a guide to make those awesome graphics though. I hope he re-does it too.

If you aren't seeing a lot of results you're expecting its probably because he's got a point light on at 0,0,0, throughout the tut. He never refers to it so its confusing when you are expecting like the colour result at 7:34

that's a very smart way of doing it having it as it's own thing makes sence . (because there's just not much to interact with) . . while also lowering scene complexity and allowing for more detailed renders altho some effects like supernova shockwawes and bi-polar jets are probably much harder to replicate here formations like these have kinda been ignored in nebula renders . so I kinda see why you didn't include them but on the other hand they do have a big impact on the shape and apearance of these glowing wonders overall I give this 98/100% . . witch is basicly 100% for someone who isn't a nitpicker like me over here
So, I figured out that at 5:00, you added a point light. It took me a bit to realize that's what happened there. However, I'm unable to get the same results as you with the volume scatter nodes around 5:30. It's especailly obvious once I increase the density that it is completely different.
Very nice result. As a beginner this is a little bit hard to follow tho because some steps are missing(at least in a timeline sense) / jumping / not explained etc. I will probably need to watch / follow this multiple times so i can puzzle it together. This is just my initial impression so maybe it changes, maybe i miss something as well.
Absolutely wonderful video. Only 2 minutes in and already felt like this is going to be a great time. Thank you for this. :) I’ll update back here with how it went after I try this myself
I wanted to leave some, hopefully, useful criticism of this tutorial. You are obviously aa skilled Blender user and your resulting nebulas are stunning. However, your tutorial is convoluted and very difficult for me to follow as a Blender user of 3+ years. So here are my suggestions: 1) Your screen resolution is WAY too high. Even on HD mode I can barely make out the settings in the nodes. In your video editing software, please zoom into the pertinent sections of the screen where you are workinhg. The left and right sides of the current video are totally wasted space that do not help the viewer. 2) Talk about each type of node as you add it. For example, "First we add a geometry node, then two noise texture nodes..." You have some nodes, like the "Length" node which are Vector Math nodes. I appreciate your naimg them to reflect their purpose (see #4 below), but it never hurst to mention the specific type of node. 3) Pick your solution path and follow it to the end, THEN talk about other options (ie Texture Coordinates vs Geometry node, etc). In this current tutorial you flit around topics like a butterfly between flowers. 4) Use Node Groups to create the components you will use in your final shadeer. Then you can connect them together like Lego blocks in a much more logical and easy to understand manner. You can also name each node group so it's obvious what it does. 5) Consider using Screencast Keys in Blender. It not only make it more clear exactly what you are doing on the keyboard, but if you accidentally omit a detail (as we all do) it can not only help to inform your viewers, but also save you some time editing your videos becuase even though you didn't say what you were doing on the keyboard,the user can still see what keys you were pressing. As I said, your end results are fantastic and I have much respoect for you as an artist and Blender expert. I hope you take these words in the spirit they are intended.
Thank you for the feedback, still trying to transition to a higher production quality wirkflow for my tutorials, so I really appreciate you commenting this
My material outout only work the first one,the rest of them doesn"t work at 5:08 and 5:40,I change the DESTINY VALUE but nothing happened,the cube is totally black.It makes me so confused.NEED help pls:)
don't mind but its too confusing to be a tutorial I really appreciate the effort you put to explain how it works but it gets really confusing when you directly jump in to different nodes you already prepared
Guys, for all those who are in doubt, how he made the nodes that were already obtained in the scene, I will try to explain to you, the "Length" node you can apply by searching for "Vector Math" and the other nodes as "Multiply & Power" you can search just like "Math" and there within the settings of each node you will find the necessary layers!
I was able to follow along until 6:05. I set up the nodes the same and with the same values, but increasing the Density input value does not make the difference shown. I have my Cycles Volumes set the same. I'm using 3.6, not sure if 3.4 to 3.6 had any relevant changes.
Hi, your nebula is amazing! but this is not a tutorial, this is basically a very long video explaining how you did it, is very hard to follow and for previous comments, I'm not the only one, it will be amazing if you could do it from the scratch as a tutorial should be.

It took a fair bit of searching, and he doesn't do a good job of showing the color ramp settings, but by pausing and zooming in to then make the node groups shown I was able to recreate his examples (well, something like them).
Does this work on 4.2? All I have so far is blurry cloud blobs. Very difficult to check if I got something wrong with all the jumping around. Anyone got this working?
I wish it was uploaded in higher quality and not ultra-widescreen. I'm unable to read the text, and even if i manage to zoom in beyond the full screen size it is pixelated an unreadable.
could you give render settings, i just can't make out the right settings without too much noise. For some reasons I have noise even in the areas that are lit up brightly.
The result is amazing and I love it, I had some problems to follow the tutorial properly but I've got it. I just have one question, how I can scale everything? I mean, it sounds dumb I know, but when I scale the mesh the texture doesn't match up, I tried with Texture Coordinates instead of the geometry nodes but nothing, thanks!
as a total noob, this was not eaxy to follow. i couldnt find a few nodes.. and getting a light in the middle also hard... maybe start building the nodes 1 by 1...
Im barely into the Basic Lighting chapter and im already lost, I feel like your trying to show multiple methods of doing basically the same thing in a single video which is not a very good way to go about it, especially if someone is trying to follow step by step
This result is very impressive but nearly every time you swap to a new group of nodes you lose me for more time than it takes for you to explain what's going on, and your ultrawide resolution makes the nodes virtually impossible to read. This would be an interesting follow up to a tutorial, but as a tutorial it's virtually impossible to use, and I've been using Blender semi-professionally for years.
Yeah I gave up at like 19 minutes in. My results only vaguely looked like the ones in the video, and I have no idea where in the nested node groups and whatnot I made my mistake.
this should be something a tutorial right? maybe I’m stupid of something ,but the step is totally unable to follow. Half of the thing I don’t even know where it come from.
Hi, Great stuff. I really appreciate the time and effort you're putting. Although I"m stuck in the process at 05:48 as I can"t find the "Density node" , could someone be kind enough to help me with this. Thamks a lot. really appreciate it.

Wow, actually the intro could have gone on quite a bit longer! Nice work! ;D
1:44 is one of the coldest boss moves in a blender tutorial ever!!!
Kinda difficult to read the nodes when it's ultrawide and 1080p only :D and shrinks down quite hard on 16:9 resolutions

Man this is impossible to follow along and understand. I hope you remake this video in the future starting the nodes from scratch.
