Awesome! Thanks for stepping in and helping others here 👍😀. You’re certainly welcome!

That’s great to hear! I got burned out on Maya as a generalist for 13 years. I was using Houdini and love it, but had a whole lot of fun with Blender and thought I could teach it, so I started this channel. I know the burnout feeling, so I’m glad this helps a bit!

Thanks bro/sis this made it lot easier to keep the track

Awesome! That’s what I’d love to see! People get endlessly creative and it’s awesome!!

Awesome! I’m loving it, and I was using Maya for YEARS. Blender is fun!

That would be cool, like Metroid! Thanks!

Thanks! I’ll get to the planets but I’m moving through a list of requests. I do love the inner stuff though and will definitely do more!

Excellent!! I’m glad to hear that. Thanks!!

Thanks!! I try to take complicated things and make them fun 😀. I’ll do my best to keep it up and get better.

Thanks!! It certainly does, although not that much haha!! Every bit helps though 😀

Thank you! I do my best!

You’re welcome, and thanks!!

You’re welcome Nuria 😀

I might, thanks!!

Thanks man!! I try 😀

Thank you!!!

Thanks! 😀

@@KevBinge can you please make a tutorial on how to make Northern lights ( Aurora) in blender 2.8 and animate them??? Please please 🙏🙏

Thanks haha! I went a bit old school 90s there 😀

You’re welcome! I’m glad you like it.

You’re welcome! Thank you!!

Thanks Eden!!

Thanks!

Thanks for the kind words! I can certainly do something complex and have some videos lined up. I have a list of ones I’m getting to in order. Stay tuned... 😀

Thank you!

Thank you!!! Glad to have you aboard!!

Awesome!

Yeah, the last two of mine I ended up using it haha! Thanks!

@@KevBinge Nice recycling ! :DDD

I wonder why many people start using cubes and subdivsion surface modifiers instead of spheres nowadays.

Respect the blender Cube! :-)

@@TeenstarletsInfo2015 because the subdivided cube has much better topology then a Sphere. With a sphere you’ll notice that the top and bottom have fans. Fans aren’t really the best for topology and since it would probably take longer to manually fix it then to just use a subdivided cube. As it is all made up of quads, thus requiring no retopo.

You’re welcome! Thank you 😀

Thanks! That’s a great question. I have a few ideas for that in 2.8 but need to test them. I’ll get back to you in a day or so as I’m not in a computer at the moment.

Thanks!! 👍

@@KevBinge hey do you have an insta account i would love to see more of your genius work

Thanks! I’m kevbingecg on there. I’ve only posted mostly things related to this account so far but will be posting more and more beyond the YT channel.

cool no pressure you just keep doing you

Haha!! Awesome!!

Thank you!!!

No problem!

You’re welcome. Thanks!!

That’s a great question. You “can” instance collections, but keeping all of the undulating particles to displace globally would be very tricky. Instances are “localized.” They will all look very similar. Until they set up the application like Houdini, this kind of thing can get very tricky. What you could do it make a number of variations, throw them in a collection, and instance that, if it makes sense?

Thank you!

You’re welcome!!

You’re welcome 😀

Thanks Jenny! I’d forgotten about this one. I should watch it again to find my funny 😁. I’d gotten much better at the medical animation since.

Thank you!!

@@KevBinge please do if you can a macro organic scene

Спасибо. Я стараюсь быть приятным 😎

Thanks!!

That’s a good question. I’d need to try myself, but baking and or applying all deformations would be ideal. You’d apply all deformation modifiers before export. You would also need to rebuild the shaders in Unity I’d imagine.

Thanks! I have more motion stuff coming. Stay tuned... 😀

You’re welcome. I need to remember what I did on this one as it was about 2 years ago now. The transparency settings still work in 3.1 but they’d moved around a bit.

I don't get the transparent effect either. It just goes all whole. I kinda just gave up

@@galaxydeathskrill5607 -- I assigned the material wrong, and then, "Refraction" was unchecked for me, in the Render > Screen Space Reflections twirldown...

@@andrewrichard3490it was like months ago when i did that project lol Also i deleted Blnder Cuz i only needed it for that

It’s not meant for accuracy just stylization. I’d forgotten about this video, I should do an accurate one but unless it’s entertainment, no one would watch it lol.

@@KevBinge please do 🥺 I'll watch it, I've been looking for medically accurate blender tutorials forever

I just saw this comment lol. I’d since been doing medical animation and Mike is right. That said, I can make the next one entertaining haha!!

That’s cool! I’ve used Maya for 15 years and every month there would be something I’d learn that I’d overlooked. Welcome to 3D hahahaha!! I’m happy to help!!

Strange... are you using the latest build of 2.8?

@@KevBinge I just redownloaded the software and now I do have tge Alpha, but I get the same results. I even stopped the video and matched my setting with yours, and still there's no transparency for the membrane. I must be missing something somewhere.

That’s really weird. Do you have “refraction” checked in the EEVEE settings? Also, what graphics card are you using?

Sure! Thanks! You can take the membrane, freeze it as in apply all modifiers, then either use a Boolean operation on it, or manually delete half of it and manually connect the faces on the cut edges if it shows. Does that help?

@@KevBinge, I am sure it will be helpful. For the moment, I am a total newbie on Blender. It took me one whole day to finally have the stem cell image. When I understand Blender better, I will get back to your reply, and I will know how to test it. Thank you!

You’re welcome! I have one coming soon, I think.

Lol! Maybe... maybe.... thanks!

@@KevBinge burning the midnight oil?! I have to thank you for getting me out of a bind with Blender many a time. Keep up the awesome tutorials. Have you messed around with the boids in the particle system? I'm trying to do a loop but haven't figured it out.

Yes, I’m burning the midnight oil (not the band) haha. I have played with boids but not too much in 2.8. I’m pretty sure it’s the same as 2.79 though, and they flock. Particles are awesome! Looping is a bit tough but not impossible. I’ll experiment 😎

@@KevBinge that would be awesome. I always find ways to take things to the limit, and not intentionally. It's just that the boids movement looks so cool, so organic. keep rocking

I agree. Boids flocking looks awesome!!

I’m not sure. I’d need to try it myself. The geometry will transfer but you may need to re-build he shaders on the Unity side.

I wasn’t getting the refraction without it in EEVEE. Maybe I need to check my settings. I’ll check it out. Thanks for bringing that up. If it’s on my end I’ll definitely modify my videos going forward.

@@KevBinge Maybe the problem were that you also needed to activate SS Refraction in the render pannel... But in this case, you don't need refraction and u don't have an alpha (so Alpha Clip is useless). Instead of SS Refraction, just set blend as Adictive and put base color as gray.

I’ve used additive before but didn’t like the outcome for a few things (it worked well in the wormhole video). I’ll have to play around more. I’ve cut stuff out of EEVEE for comp, but have been doing all of my tutorials with everything “in camera.” In that case, yeah, I don’t need alpha channels or combining clip with ss refraction.. Additive could work, but it hasn’t been “doing it” for me. Getting the look in this new renderer, even if it technically doesn’t make sense or is overkill gets me to a point where I’m satisfied. For me, if it looks right and works for a certain look, I really don’t care about technicalities until they get in the way of the shot. If I’m on a team and sharing the files with others, totally different story. That said, I want to teach things correctly, so I’ll have to do a video on the differences and what you get with additive vs. clip more in depth than I did in the wormhole vid. Another caveat that I ignore in this video is the fact that ss refraction and ss reflection and ao don’t play well with each other. The look is cool, but could break down in animation. For this still image, it looks ok, but I should have added that warning. I learn.... thanks!

nvm I just moved the nucleus and then it somehow tracked it so it works now.

Oh sweet, you solved it!

Thanks! It wouldn’t be too hard at all if you parent them together and move them. You’d want to keep “local” displacement on for them and maybe give each one a slight variance, but yeah, Not too difficult. 😀

You can do it with metaballs really easy and the benefit is that they stretch when pulled apart

@@semillerimages That was in the back of my head based on some other videos I saw, but haven't experimented with them yet.

Thanks!

Thanks! I intend to 😀

आजकाल तंत्रज्ञानाची ही खूपच ही होत चालली आहे. किती त्याचा हा. किती त्याचे हे. हे म्हणजे अगदीच ह्याची ही ह्याला नेऊन टेकवल्यासारखे हे होत आहे. ह्याचा हा तुम्हाला आधीपासून असेल ह्याचे हे माझ्यासुद्धा ह्याच्यात आहे हं !

Haha! Sure do lol!!

Thanks! I have no idea. If I were to do this today, I’d use actual pdb data 😀

I’ll look into it. I need to carve out some server space, and that eats bandwidth.

Thanks!! Whoa, I didn’t know that. I’ll have to check that out and fix it.

@@KevBinge you can still find it in videos page but still 1st impression is on the home page keep up the good work 👍

Very true! Thanks!!

I was going to do Corona but given recent events and that people are dying I decided now is not a good time.

хорошая импровизация. Я рад видеть твою работу. извините, мой русский не очень хорош 🥴. (I’m getting a little better though!)

@@KevBinge Я отлично вас понимаю. Спасибо.

Very nice work ! I was just thinking the next thing to do would be to animate the camera moving throughout the stem cells :) I have done multi colored stem cells in mine :)

I’m sorry to hear that 😞

I hear you. I need to do another video explaining this. Thanks for bringing this to my attention 😀
