hey this is Kevin with blender binge back with another tutorial for you this
time we're gonna be making a really groovy animation it's gonna be all 60s
psychedelic trippy stuff and maybe if you stick around the end of the video
you'll find your mojo ready let's go so for this animation we're gonna do one
simple thing not have a default cube and not have a light in the scene now first
thing I'm good to do is I'm going to create add mesh plane and then I'm going
to rotate that plane out so I'm going to hit n on the keyboard and I'm gonna go
up to item and I'm going to say rotation 90 and I'll push this guy out maybe down
the Y to five then I'm gonna take my camera I'm gonna hit alt G and alt are
and then I'm going to rotate my camera up 90 and hit zero and it's pretty much
filling the frame so now I'm going to go over here from evey change it to cycles
now this effect will work in evey but not as well right now so in the future
if you're watching this video you can try evey and it might have more bounces
and things but we're gonna need cycles right now for this and maybe I'll change
it to GPU so it's faster for you and then I'm gonna change it to rendered
view up here okay so we're seeing this now I'm gonna work on this texture so
what I'll do simple is pull this up go to shader editor I'm gonna select my
plane I'm gonna hit new and now I'm gonna click off of here and I don't need
this principled shader so I'm gonna click on that I'm gonna hit shift s for
switch or swap and then I'm gonna go to emission and now you see I have emission
and its lighting so here's nothing and here's light so and then I'm gonna plug
a texture in here and that's going to be our trippy texture so what I'm gonna do
is hit shift a and I'm gonna go to texture I'm gonna say magic texture I'm
okay color and plug it in and boom we get this cool this so now if I hit depth
one and I hit Distortion now I start getting this cool 60s looking trippy
pattern right it's pretty groovy I'm digging it but this is not gonna give us
exactly what we want right now see I can kind of like make this all like trippy
and weird and do all these like cool things procedurally in here but that's
gonna take a while so I'm gonna go to a a little trick using reflection and make
this work so I had done this once in a video that I'll link to sort of toward
the end of this video and you can check it out but I'm gonna use the same
technique and I'm gonna go add mesh cylinder I'm gonna go to cylinder and
maybe I'll type in like six sides and depth I'll put up a ten and rotation
I'll do ninety on the X and then location on the Y I'll just kind of push
him down so the camera is still inside them and this plane is intersecting and
if I hit zero now you see we're inside the tube and we see our plane so what
I'll do now is I will select a cylinder and give that a shader so I'm gonna hit
new I'll use the principle shader here I'm gonna whack metallic up to one and
I'm gonna take roughness all the way down and now you see we're starting to
get this pattern and it's reflecting all right so I can do roughness change that
down turn that down clearcoat go back to my plane and now you see here that we
have this trippy looking effect happening and it's reflecting off every
wall and if it's not you might want to go over to light paths and take
glossiness and put that up to like twelve or something and then you'll
you'll start seeing more bounces happening
so here's pretty cool and I'll get all these like really cool trippy effects
the only thing I don't like about this and in the video that I'll link to at
the end of this sort of toward the end of this video I'll show you how I use
this reflection in that video and it did something really cool but this is not
giving me a nice kind of breakup pattern here it's just - it's it's it's not
keeping it mirrored so what I'll do I could spend all day like messing around
in here or I could simply just go here and do a different effect so I'm gonna
take this guy delete them the same thing I'm gonna go to add mesh cylinder and
this time I'm just gonna create triangle and I'll do the same thing so rotation
at 90 and location I'll push this guy out a little bit alright and if I had 0
now same thing so I select my cylinder and I think I still have that material
0:02 in here yep there it is and now you see if I select the plane the triangle
does a really nice job of just doing this this particular kind of psychedelic
trippy breakup so even if I scale it I'm getting these different this different
look so that's pretty cool in itself right we could just kind of animate this
and be done but we're not so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna add in my own
colors in here so I'm gonna hit shift a I'm gonna go to converter in a bit of
color ramp and drop that in and now it turns black and white which is exactly
what I don't want so how do I get rid of that well I can click here and then
click here and then click here and then go to red and then I click white and
change white to green complementary colors and then I'll just change RGB to
hue saturation value and near to far and I get a nice rainbow and then if I play
with this a little bit more I can start getting that like cool sketched out
painted look which I kind of dig and then I play with the scale and you can
see here you're getting a nice kind of nice it looks like dr. Seuss type
feathering effect which is kind of interesting right I dig it but maybe
I'll just take it back there and get more of a painted effect
and then I can maybe add in one more shader color and that gets really trippy
but I kind of don't want that so I'm gonna pull that down and just get a
little more contrast here by using blue and I'll take the blue and maybe pull
him down a little bit and now I'm getting a more contrast II look more
trippy or psychedelic more glowy whatever and I'm kind of liking that so
now all that's left to do is animate the thing right so how do we do that well I
have being that I didn't use this shading tab up here I have my timeline
so what I'll do is I'll select magic texture and I'll hit shift
I'll hit ctrl T and that has node Wrangler if you don't have known
Wrangler installed you just go edit preferences go to add-ons type in node
and check node Wrangler and then this will work so what I can do now is leave
all that as is and if I start playing with the Y here I start getting this
really cool got a fractal reflected break up right trippy that's exactly
what I want so I'm gonna keyframe it so to do that I'm just gonna go on it
right-click say insert single keyframe go to the end and I'm gonna type in 359
because it's just short of 360 degrees and type in insert single keyframe and
now I have a nice loop seamless seamless loop look at that watch this it does a
seamless no nothing going on but nothing bad all perfect and I can I can leave it
at that or I can push out the scale a little bit so let's do that and make it
even cooler right so we just want to want to make it as cool as we can so I'm
gonna hit scale and I'm gonna right click and say insert keyframe here and
I'll do one at the end to insert keyframe and then right in the middle at
like 125 maybe I will kind of
push the scale down a little bit and it'll just add some more interest to it
then right-click hit insert keyframe and now I have this really wild
trippy effect happening and you see it loops and it goes down and it comes back
up and it loops but that might be a lot you'd probably don't need that much so
maybe I'll just bring it back out maybe to there replace keyframe and that's a
little bit better and lastly now I can animate either my
plane or my cylinder either one and if I rotate that on the Y I start getting
this really cool effect too so I can add all of that in Y I can right-click say
insert a single keyframe go here this time I'll type in negative 3 on 159
enter right click insert single keyframe and now I have this rotating cool trippy
psychedelic effect so now lastly to render it I simply go check my settings
right render 128 it's probably high I probably don't needed that but I'll
leave it I don't know my computer is pretty powerful it goes fast glossy ok
if you're not getting enough reflections change this I think it defaults at 4
change this to like 12 or something and lastly let's see what else okay
so output HD that's fine 24 frames 250 that's good now here output ok I made a
folder ok and name this psychedelic oo 1 dot mp4 ok it's important you put mp4
there if you're making a movie if not you can do still images I do that all
the time but for this example I'm using dot mp4 it except and then file format
very important PNG change at hopefully you have FF
MPEG video and lastly you have to hit encoding this little button and say
h.264 in mp4 that'll work there are other settings you can use I'm
just using those because I know they work for this and I can show you
everything when it's done and now all that's left is render render animation
and we wait okay so here we have the final animation and you can see it's
doing some really cool stuff and it's looking really groovy man so have at it
have fun you can see that what we did was we just created a plane we made this
texture okay all it was is an emission with a color ramp plugged in a magic
texture driving the color ramp and some mapping we keyframed
the rotation on the mapping we keyframe the scale on the magic texture and we
keyframe this cylinder now we started with the cylinder that was like six
sides or more and then we decided that I wasn't it wasn't reflecting quite well
so triangle works pretty well for that and so I just made a triangle tunnel and
threw it in and you can check up here there's another tutorial that I have
that I'll show you how to how I did something with the disco ball and it's
really really interesting and it's a similar effect but it's it's deeper
looking but this is just a really cool surface to the effect that you can use
for lots of different things and it loops so I use it for VJ stuff or you
know I don't know whatever so anyway hopefully you got something out of this
video hopefully you learn something and if you did hit like subscribe share it
hit that Bell notification cuz you know you want to be alerted when I drop a new
video hopefully and go ahead and and and and and and find your mojo alright see
you next video bye
