This is a channel dedicated to my 15 year old self who had a desire to learn, but didn't quite have the toolbox to fully understand everything around him. I create videos trying to explain things in a manner I believe I would have understood back then.


But Why?

Alright. Which color scheme looks best?

Also can you tell what it is being depicted?

But Why?

A bit of an update.

First bad news.

While installing a new SSD, I was on autopilot and input a 0 instead of a 1 and formatted my hard-drive with all my previous video work. Since this particular hard-drive was using partitions, the smaller partition with my work is just... gone? I personally tried recovering files, then brought it to a shop nearby, but we can't find that partition or any files that were associated to it. I can only blame the hubris of man as to why I continually thought of backing up my files and then proceeded not to.

Silver lining, I only lost about 3 hours of work I've put into the new video. But I won't be able to re-use any of my old assets I made, so it may take a bit longer now to recreate assets as the need arises.

If anyone has any ideas for cute character designs/shapes that requires less animation on my part, I'd love to see/hear of them. I may take this opportunity to recast the humanoid people instead of re-rigging them.

Better news:

I'm retiring my old janky logo for a new one. I'm currently playing with color combinations and when I have four I am happy with I'll have you all vote on which one you prefer.

Anyways, learn from my mistake.

But Why?

Update:
I've always wanted to push my channel into raytracing someday and this next video will be the first. As a result I'm about two weeks behind schedule where I wanted to be. I was waiting for a Render farm I wanted to use to update to the new faster Raytracing engine in the new Blender version.

I'm hoping to be done by next Monday (the 27th) but I also gotta write new backing music to keep things fresh so that could delay an extra day or two.
But at least this will be the best looking video so far.

Update:
New video is basically done. Will be posted by tomorrow evening at the latest. I wanted to readjust the focus like 3 weeks ago, sorry for the delay. But I got some really cool state-of-the-art simulations as a result.

The next topic will not be as in-depth so shouldn't be as long a wait.

If you want to explore your creative side, I'm gonna do a ~90 minute stream as I work on assets for my next video tomorrow at 19:00 CET or 13:00 EST. Feel free to ask any questions about Blender (beginner or novice) and I'll do my best to help you along. In the meantime I recommend downloading it at: www.blender.org/download

But Why?

With the growth of the channel I feel an increased responsibility to be as accurate and in depth as possible to avoid any misinformation. Thus, I'm super excited to announce that I will be working with a proper Astrophysicist for future videos on Astronomy and Astrophysics.

The next video will be a little delayed as I have been waiting for his input on some of the more precise elements of the next video. But I am really excited as this will certainly be the most in-depth video on this topic.

See you then.

But Why?

It has been brought to my attention that YouTube may have put ads in front of some of my videos. I have not enabled monetization nor wanted ads on my videos. I didn't start this channel for any financial reason. However, I do know YT changed their Terms of Service like a year ago granting them permission to put ads on any video regardless of monetization.

I would like to make sure this is true. Please let me know.

But Why?

To those hungry for interstellar and cosmic phenomena. I think you'll enjoy my next four possibly five videos. Patience though. In the mean time here's a blackhole I learned to make for the next one.

But Why?

Snow in Madrid? Snow in the southern US? In case you haven't seen it, check out one of my first videos about why this is happening despite global warming. (Excuse the production quality)

And yes I'm slowly pumping out renders for the next video.

But Why?

So Veritasium just kind of released a video on my next topic. I recommend watching that before my next video. It shares very similar content.
