    Thanks to you for helping me get into Blender a couple of year ago. I still stop in from time to to time to see what you're up to. And in this case, I wanted to see what kind of crazy shader you were using to get the final look. Ha! You totally tricked me with putting a colored light inside. So simple, but effective! Glad I stuck around anyway because this is a really well-done and well-explained video. Thanks again.
  • What also almost looks great on transparent materials is to add a solidify modifier at the end with some thickness. This pimps up the inner reflections a lot.
  • @artemshabanov907
    I was sooo waiting for render settings. But anyway awesome tutorial!!!
  • @MuffinMachine
    This provided a great jumping off point to start modeling crystals. It helps to just see a general method of doing something, then I run off and do a bunch of searching on the actual thing and see how I can apply that general method to more specific references. Your contribution to this/these communities is invaluable, thank you!
  • @keaackerman
    Amazing! Thank you so much for this tutorial. I love love love having you encouraging us to try it first before seeing how you do it. The bevel trick is incredible.
  • @RogueAstro85
    How did you read my mind?? I've had an idea for a crystal cave scene I've been trying to make and haven't been able to get the crystals right and all the tutorials were not the style I wanted. Now you drop this perfect tutorial for exactly what I was after just before I was about to shelve the project for later. Thanks Grant!
  • @lyghtkruz
    These videos are great Grant! I left the notification on my phone for a day because I wanted to remember to come back and watch it later. 😅
  • @pavjanda
    Brilliant format, would love to see more! 👍
  • @NdieCity
    Neat, I had no idea you could bevel vertices
  • @nuejidub
    i like this format - keeps it simple and down to a few tasks. but you still improve.
  • @rakanoth1434
    Absolutely love your work mate, regardless of long or short format your educational approach and insight is incredible. Huge appreciation, I'll be sharing how mine turn out in your Discord! 💚
  • @Albighhorian
    Wow this is awesome. I didn't even know there is a button to automatically join vertices
  • @dzufiasta6131
    I love vids like this. I learn a lot from them. Thank you! <3
  • @LishaV81
    Awesome tutorial, as always!! Thanks so much! :)
  • @MakerBees333
    ❤ Love the video! The quick hot key modeling and editing process was great ‘gg’ is definitely going in my toolbox. One side note of no real consequence: Most quarts crystals don’t have as much variation as you included. These are more video game crystals. But knowing how to make them is the important part and you 💯nailed it 👍.
  • @ravenglowstudio
    Thank you! This one was a lot of fun. I really liked the reminders to go try it out myself instead of relying on instructions. :)
  • @jogibaerr50000
    Yeah, like it, and I wanna see more... God explaination.
