And that got you a new patron! (from France)

John R Folsom

Patreon bucks well spent!

Craig Sachs

Yes too mean out of context. But maybe he will laugh too. I have wished I could smack him too.

William Webb

Captain, I love how your videos look like Hollywood productions, but you still keep the lamp and the shuffled paper in shot.

Jasper

Oh, thanks! Yeah, Voronoi worked a lot better than the Clouds I was trying before. I think I also just added way too many loops beforehand. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/M0Bybrs.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/M0Bybrs.png</a>

Captain Disillusion

Ah yes, thanks, Mike! I was in a daze last night and didn't know what I was copying or where I was pasting it. Susan, check that link out for the original appearance of Holly.

Mike B.

Captain, I think you meant this link: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo5wS_DLyzk" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fo5wS_DLyzk</a>

Captain Disillusion

Hmm, I pretty much did same as you, but added a few loops to the cylinder (including top and bottom) before applying the modifiers. That let me keep the Subdivision Surface at just 2, resulting in larger, smoother bumps. The texture I used was Voronoi. I also added a Simple Deform modifier to give it that whirlpool twist. Blender is bizarre, but once you start getting the hang of it, feels very powerful. I also used it to explode the YouTube player and for the Bill and Ted phone booth at the end. Renders incredibly slow though!

Captain Disillusion

Thinking of posting that as an Instagram video. But maybe too mean out of context?... :P

Captain Disillusion

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

Captain Disillusion

I agree, she did an excellent job.

Captain Disillusion

Thank you! That little shot took about 3 1/2 days to create. I nearly gave up!

Captain Disillusion

Thanks, that totally original idea just came to me :)

Captain Disillusion

I dunno... I guess the universe is an inherently random and unfair place ;)

Jasper

That was really awesome. I tried for a bit to make a dumb turbulated cylinder in Blender like you did, but I can't find the proper buttons. The closest I got looks like some ridiculous sponge. <a href="http://i.imgur.com/MUiuKBg.png" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://i.imgur.com/MUiuKBg.png</a> So, hats off to you for managing to finagle Blender into doing what you want, for once.

Craig Sachs

"This is how I punch people" Hahahahahaha

I always look forward to you videos, well done.

Jamie F

Extra happy pants! That was hilarious and props to Holly for an excellent role!

Blake Partridge

That was fantastic. Really loved the Bill & Ted at the end.

Douglas Pluylaar

The moment CD punched that guy talking about an Indian burial ground in "Gas Station Ghost RECUT", he became my go to hero :)

Jim Preston

That was just amazing, er, and I wonder where you got the idea for that million dollar thing.

Michael Krehan

That was amazing. So, Alan, I don't get it... you take elaborate visual effects of others (brusspup, dandeentremont, etc) and almost offhandedly upstage their work, solely for the purpose of demonstration. With your talent, you'd think you're running Disillusion Light & Magic or something and are raking in millions. Instead, you're on Patreon. What gives?

Captain Disillusion

Thank you! Indeed, Holly has appeared before. It was ages ago, at a more innocent time: <a href="https://youtu.be/NXCtgI2lkFw" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/NXCtgI2lkFw</a> Ah, memories. I'll have to check out Red Dwarf.

Captain Disillusion

Thanks, I agree!

Captain Disillusion

Thanks! Yes, the original is a cool video. I've been wanting to do this one for a long while.

Captain Disillusion

Thank you and also thank... you? You!

Captain Disillusion

Glad you picked up on all of that :) Thanks!

Captain Disillusion

Thanks!

Captain Disillusion

Violence almost never solves anything.

Susan Gerbic

Terrific as usual. I'm glad you mentioned the talent the original video had, looks quite convincing, except that of course water does not work like that. I like this new Holly character has she been on before? Is she Holly from Red Dwarf? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_(Red_Dwarf)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holly_(Red_Dwarf)</a>

Drek the Bat

Well done! That was quite a trick!!

Timmo Warner

This was a great episode! It debunked the video and commented on some things in general! Though I still give kudos to the original video maker because I figure that after 5 or 6 glasses of water all over their table people might have stepped back and figure they've been had and learned something. =o)

Keith Marrocco

Excellent! I'd run out and support you on Patreon, but, um, well, I'm here now...

Matthew King

Okay, so an episode that features new characters, nods to both James Randi and Bill & Ted, and over 9 minutes long? Why I think you've outdone yourself. Oh, and the debunk was good too :)
