Here's how to use the wrinkle system on faces (or any objects). 

The project files are here:

Wrinkle Project Files

Here are the wrinkle project files, one for the pipe and one for the face. The face (forehead) wrinkles appear when you use proportional editing and deform the mesh. The wrinkle map is just something easy I put together, for more realistic results I recommend https://texturing.xyz

Volume Swirl project file

Here's the project file for the volume swirl and shards. I didn't include my photoscan though, it's scary when viewed close!

House Generator Project File

Here's the project file, it can be applied to any modular building so I hope you enjoy! I go more into details why the roof doesn't work in the tutorial.

House Generator Tutorial

Here's the House Generator. Of course, with Quixel assets the roof is a bit problematic but it's not hard to do manually either, the rest of the house can be built easily.

Venom Full Tutorial

Here's the full tutorial of the concepts discussed on YouTube. Let me know if you have any questions.

Which is best?

Here are three thumbnail ideas. Which one has the most potential in your opinion?

Marvel VFX Tutorial Preview

Hi,

You might have been asking where I might have gone during those recent times and the answer is hospital. I ate some bad buckwheat and had a serious food poisoning and was in the hospital for 6 days. My lesson: don't eat bad food. Seriously. Just throw it away if it tastes even remotely strange. 

But on the note of upcoming c...

17th March Livestream

Audio visualization, 3D-printed structures and more.

16th March livestream

For this time's livestream, I thought it would be nice to make it more oriented on questions you might have. So if there is anything you think I could have an answer for, about making some specific things in 3D or elsewhere, go ahead and post your question down here.

You can of course ask during the stream too, but I can prepare better ...

Sand Intro Photoscans

Here are the meticulously scanned food items you can use in your own productions. Get some exotic Northern Europe kitchen vibes going on.

Sand Tutorial Project File

Here's the project file of the tutorial which I also used for the thumbnail. In the end I still decided to do something simple instead of using that HDR.

Sand Intro Project Files

Here are all the scene files for the intro of the sand video. Over 7GB of material there. Enjoy!

Sand Simulation in Blender

Good Evening!

I'm working on a hacky workaround to simulate grains in Blender. That includes sugar, dust, sand, and even muddy ground sometimes.

I will release the video the 7th of March, this is just a concept that the system works.

Stay tuned for some grainy madness.

Shockwave Files

Here are the files from the intro and also from the tutorial. Enjoy! 

The motion blur you see in the intro is added using the motion blur node in Davinci Resolve Fusion. This is available in the studio version. I also used a glow node to add some nice haze. Apart from that I didn't do any more post processing.

Shockwave Tutorial

Good Evening!

Here I am churning out some shockwave shot ideas for the next video, which angle do you like best?

Fern Project file

Here's the project file, it has all the ferns that I used to animate the intro, it needs Blender 3.1 to work. 

In case of questions post them down here!

Livestreams!

Hey everyone!

I have rearranged Patreon perks, I removed unedited tutorials and the every-month exclusive tutorial. Instead of those we will have one (as a start)  livestream every 12th of a month where we build something cool with geometry nodes and you can ask questions! This is for Tier II and III.

I really like this idea as ...

Free access to the Raspberry Class

I made this class to explain geometry nodes for beginners, as a Patron you can watch this class for free without a Skillshare membership.

Lightning Bolt with Geometry Nodes in Blender 3.0

A lot of you have been asking for a lightning remake in Blender 3.0, and here it is!

In case of any questions with the project file, let me know.

Tornado intro project file

Here's the project file for the intro of the tornado video, I uploaded it to Drive as it's pretty large (I also included the ocean displacement maps). The file can be quite heavy and was not exactly a joy on my 3070 Ti either, so keep that in mind and turn off the fog collection for faster viewport performance.

Would you be interested in the candy tutorial with Blender 3.0?

I got asked to remake this so I'd like to see how many of you are interested.

A tornado sneak peek

Hey,

Happy New Year to everyone,

This is the next project I'm working on. I'm pretty excited for the outcome. What makes it interesting is that the tornado is shader based, it's just a "tornado" material on a cube. Hopefully I'll get it ready by January 12th.

January and February will both have 3 videos per month which is ...

How to Morph between Objects with Geometry Nodes

Here's how you can use geometry nodes to morph between objects, download the project file below ⬇️.

By the way do you have snow where you are from? We just had a bunch but it all was gone in a few days. No white christmas this year...

I'm recreating the Druun in Blender

Good 14th December! 

I'm right now at the dormitory building near the university, preparing for the next video. As my Houdini video was very successful and I showed what an absolute beginner I am in Houdini, this time I'd like to turn the table around and recreate Houdini simulations/procedural stuff in Blender.

This purple thin...

Plant Intro Project File

Good evening (as it is for me right now),

Here is the project file of the intro animation. It's all in one file as I don't like to edit clips for short sequences like that. You'll find that the crowd looks quite empty - that's because the crowd density factor has been turned down. Also for playback performance the plant remeshin...

Procedural Plant Extended tutorial

This video shows the techniques I left out from YouTube, like volume remeshing and procedural leaf folding. Down here you will also find the thumbnail project file and the intro one. Write me in case of questions!
