So Vertrox made a creator contest for his level called Cycles X,

which is a super buff of Cycles,

you know, you probably know that.

So I, Geo, also known as Da Vinci from GD,

I'm going to participate.

So have a seat, get your popcorn,

because right now I'm gonna show the process of creating this insane part.

This is the part available for the creator contest,

and immediately when I saw this,

I already had the entire decoration in mind.

I just had to execute it,

which is the real problem.

Mostly because I imagined something purple and like maybe orange

or yellow and I'm just terrible at working with colors I usually make either monochromatic or rainbow levels,

so it's gonna be a real challenge, but it's fine.

Let's go Okay, so we got the groups and colors right here.

So let's begin setting up the colors I was recording this very late.

Please ignore my quiet voice.

Okay, so we got everything I think we can definitely work with that So I went to make this structure first,

but I for some reason tried to play test the level just to see how it plays and Oh my god,

this gameplay is mysterious, I'd say.

I'm really not understanding what is happening here.

I wish you good luck on this, Vortrox.

This gameplay is cancerous.

Anyways, that's the structuring I'm gonna decorate.

And then I started to fill the block design with these little orange blocks.

Because my idea was basically make some running lava inside of them.

So I went to make exactly that.

So I made this kind of gradient inside of the blocks.

And then added some pulses to make the lava effect.

Simple and effective.

That's the real deal.

Wait, it didn't stop there.

I needed to make it shine, just like real lava.

So yeah, glow everywhere, please.

It is looking like this.

Kinda cool, but there's a lot more work to do.

So I went to make the spike and it was very simple.

I kind of followed the same idea of the block design,

making the line purple and the inside yellow, shiny yellow.

And it looks absolutely fantastic in my opinion.

Very easy to copy and paste,

and it matches the other elements of the decoration perfectly.

So I made that perfectly well-made 3D as always,

and the whole base of the structure is done.

To finish it, I just had to execute the main idea that I said it was in mind earlier,

which was simply to make a portal to space.

Yeah, I swear to God I was sober when I came up with this.

So I made this magic kerosene right now.

Wow.

Oh, look at this.

Wow.

Then I created these rotating particles to give an impression that uh, it's a portal.

Then after some polishing and final touches, that's the result.

Okay, this completely changed everything.

Now this is looking really good.

I agree with you, Geo from the past.

The block was done and ready to be copy and pasted everywhere.

But for some reason I tried some effects that got terrible.

Just ignore this part of the video.

Club set monster time.

I gotta be honest right now.

I didn't have any design ideas for him.

He's just like, I don't even know what's up with him.

He's just sad.

That may be the reason.

So I made the most simple thing ever.

I just left him without textures.

But at least he got a cool background and an area effect.

Fancy.

And that's the club set monster for now.

Because I tried tweaking the atmosphere a bit.

But honestly, most of the changes turned out really bad.

The only thing I actually liked was this hexagon thing.

I'm definitely keeping it.

So yeah, that's how the part is looking at the moment.

Trust me, this level is really hard.

I'm not that bad.

This part.

What do I even do here?

I had no better idea than making a guess what?

I know exactly what you're thinking.

Something related to space maybe?

Well, almost, but actually a magma castle.

Uh, what's wrong? Was it not close?

Uh, okay.

So I made this insane 3D magma spike block.

That looks kind of decent, I guess.

And started a crazy castle structure right there.

So I made some holes to show that it's actually an ancient castle that fell apart a long time ago,

filled it with black blocks,

added details in every corner,

and to make it really look like a castle,

I used some of these objects right here that give it a cool,

you know, like brick texture.

Then I added some spikes like this,

and boom, that's good for now.

But honestly, I'm missing something right here.

Where's the lava?

100

Well, let's add it.

101

The object I picked was this new lava from 2.2 that's way smoother than the other one.

102

And here it is, really simple, but looking like lava.

103

That's our objective.

104

Then I made the background of the castle,

105

of course, and that's it.

106

Oh, I almost forgot about something.

107

I tried placing some lava inside the holes in the wall and YO!

108

I was not expecting this result.

109

That's part of the design now, I don't care.

110

After that, basically the whole base of the part was done.

111

I just had to polish it,

112

add movement, make some cool details like these signs and this arrow,

113

and copy and paste the last structures.

114

After doing all that, this is how it looks like.

115

The only thing that was bothering me now was the atmosphere.

116

I made this provisional one just to see how it would look so I could improve it later.

117

And apparently, later is now.

118

So I deleted all that ugly stuff, ugh, That's terrible.

119

And tried some glowy lights, but...

120

That's terrible.

121

So I quickly got rid of it and just added a gradient trigger.

122

That's all I need.

123

But I was still thinking everything felt a bit too empty.

124

To fix this problem, I tried these connectors with some glowy objects and spammed all over the place.

125

And they ended up being a really good touch for the part.

126

Look at this.

127

A lot better.

128

The only little guy that wasn't decorated yet was him.

129

Mr. Fitzgerald.

130

I'm going faster now because there's literally nothing I can say about it.

131

I just made the exact same thing I previously made with that other monster but with this cool effect behind them.

132

That's all about it, but at least it turned out great!

133

Okay, so it's almost done.

134

I'm doing a good job, I think.

135

Now I think it's 100% done.

136

Let's see.

137

Oh, not 100% because I remembered the background,

138

but yes, it's like mostly done.

139

Now to actually finish this part,

140

we just needed some background, which was a particle.

141

I'm not very good at backgrounds as you can see, sorry.

142

But yeah, it's just some starts with a parallax effect.

143

And finally after some polishing the part was finally done.

144

Look at this little Geo taking a bath on lava I hope Fortrux likes it as much as I'm like now.

145

Yeah, that's the scary part.

146

Let's see.

147

All right next up is 1370.

148

I'm so excited for this level.

149

Chat, I, me too, I am so incredibly excited for this.

150

This level is gonna be so good, bro.

151

It already is.

152

It already is.

153

Oh, this one's cool.

154

Oh my god, it's Halloween.

155

Halloween!

156

It's Halloween!

157

What I will say though,

158

this leans into the orange a little too heavily, I think.

159

That was definitely a choice.

160

And the lava's cool.

161

I absolutely love this, but I will just say,

162

I don't know if this style totally fits,

163

because the orange is very like,

164

you know what I'm saying?

165

Please, please, please make a Halloween level with these colors.

166

Yeah, but isn't this a...

167

Oh yeah, this guy makes Jump Dredge videos.

168

Yeah, that's dope.

169

Yeah, I like his icon, that's fun.

170

Yeah, I would say that part doesn't quite fit,

171

but it is very cool.

172

Absolutely.

173

I absolutely gonna keep that in mind.

174

Super good, but the orange just doesn't really fit.

175

That's what I would say.

176

I completely understand.

177

I didn't check the other parts before.

178

Yeah, sometimes I'm really dumb.

179

Yeah, again, this part, right away,

180

the orange just doesn't really fit,

181

but I like everything else about it.

182

The lava's a cool idea.

183

Yeah, that's a good one.

184

And when I played it in the editor,

185

it's a little bit dark, too.

186

Definitely good, though.

187

Love that one.

188

W-G-O-G-D.

189

I got eliminated, but honestly, for a fair reason.

190

But still, the crazy amount of extremely well-made entries was insane.

191

The competitors did an amazing job, and the winner...

192

Vjolt?

193

Vjolt?

194

I don't know.

195

Totally deserved it.

196

Just look at this part.

197

It's just awesome and fits the level perfectly.

198

But there is still a question in the air.

199

How would my part look if it had the right colors?

200

I don't really know what the right colors are exactly.

201

So I replaced the orange with pink.

202

So before finishing the video,

203

thank you so much for watching.

204

Here's thanks to Vortrex for the compliments.

205

And here's a showcase of the two versions of my part.

206

See you in the next video.

207

Oh, and I forgot to mention that we finally got to 100,000 subscribers in only four months.

208

Which is absolutely insane for me.

209

So thank you so much everyone now I can finally finish the video!

210

I'm sorry.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?

שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
