Timelapse: Blender 3d Animation for Film Studies

[BigSweaz]

Ummm. Screenplay? There was really no story here.

[deadlokIV]

@BigSweaz Good call. It's pretty much nonsense

[joaqim123]

Lol egg-radio

[robbie932]

1:07 windows XP background

[legendofarthur]

is it too hard to make the smoke effect?

[Johneysteel]

wow... that was beautiful! XD

[seekertosecrets]

Very Impressive!

[NickelbackFanatic1]

ok now how do i insert the think in a wmv or AVI file? i dont know how to convert. im downloading a converter right now but i dont think it will work,

[NickelbackFanatic1]

NEED TO KNOW!!! how do u render an animation? do u have to frame b frame and if so how u do that?

[deadlokIV]

In blender there is a button saying render, but there is also one saying "Anim", which handles rendering of all the frames you've set you're animation to have.

I assume we're talking about blender here. Good luck!

[NickelbackFanatic1]

yup i go tit with the record ip thing. im rendering because it didnt turn out like i wanted and im new at this so im learnin. like i go tthis yesterday =D.

[blabeen1]

Thank you...

Now i`v got it

good luck with college

keep blending ;)

[blabeen1]

Yes Its good

but Its not 3d Animation for Film Studies

Animation for Film r much more complicated than this.

Regards

[deadlokIV]

Thanks

...and yes it was. Film studies = college class.

And this was the animation I submitted for it!

[Noodlez222]

wow, that was great! good work

[mawc14]

that was one of the best blender shorts iv ever seen (♥ the audio and sound effects, where did u get them)

[STANstudiosNetwork]

well done i want to make a 3D city in blender but i don't know how to start.

Can some one please help me?

PLEASE i'm hope less

i already did some animations with blender like fluids,particles, atomic bomb!!

but the city is hard to make

HELP ME PLEASE

[raeeees]

hi, i have attmepted at making a lowpoly city in blender (so it's quick and easy to animate/ render), have a look at my 'organized crime' video

[Sammaron]

Very nice. I really like the camera movements

[mysteryme3000]

brilliantly done man, for the chars, did you just put a solid color on them w/ toon shader n edge? and as per particles, you should make a tutorial, it was really awesome.

[deadlokIV]

I'm so sorry about how overdue this reply is about to be. That goes for everyone.

I'm just not a youtube-provider as such!

Anyways thank you very much, and yea that's pretty much exactly how you shade it.

Allow me to kill a little of the magic by saying that I chose the style purely because I hate; or rather, hated texturing and the time it took haha

About the tutorial? Here it is:

-Get a plane and subsurf+subdivide a bit

-Give it a grass texture

-Add particles

-Subdiv patches to add more =]

[rampagetv]

Really cool!

[soeb250]

hey can you make a step by step tutorial

[tarkata14]

I love the camera movements, And the (Nodes?)effects were great.5/5

[deadlokIV]

Story wise, that whole 'battle scene' was meant to be nothing more than a daydream by the red blokey who's lying down on the grass...hence the background song being nothing more than a tune on the radio.

=]

[PureT3x4n]

thats great

[deadlokIV]

Thanks!

I can't believe people are still watching this crap =]

[ColdOneK]

loved it

[7677890]

Try non-toon rendering and use a laplace filter in the compositing area.

[sickxela]

nice work.. i like this xp bliss like scene

[SpecialOperations]

Quite senseless. But good animation.

[deadlokIV]

oh you cannot be serious

ah well...

[lucasmontec]

the best i ever seen

god job keep doing this

[agent47crows]

Brilliant work!

[Jaysnipes]

I bet once someone can pull this off making cartoons with blender is as easy as playing a video game called blender. Well thats just my opinoin.

[Vamp1reuh]

Très beau boulot!

Great Work ;)

[DTMidian]

you know, i've watched this a couple times trying to formulate an opinion on it, and despite the discernible lack of being able to see features of the characters, it has the kind of No More Hero's feel to it, mainly I'm surprised how good the grass looks with only 44000 strands, I usually use around 90 k and am still usually unhappy about it, heh

[deadlokIV]

its a trick really =]

when you subdivide the grassy bank's surface, it kind of overlaps where the particle generators think they're supposed to generate from; resulting in a sort of patchy effect.

also a good mix between a subtle grass texture, AND a little fun with the 'emit' settings =D

[I've also only just found out what No More Hero's is....my god that game looks amazing; it's definately my style too!]

Thanks for the comment, DTMidian

[theinsane101]

whats the music you used?

[ColdOneK]

look at what he said..

[deadlokIV]

[applies to StevenBlender too:]

looking back on this piece i'm not happy with it, and would love to do something else soon.

one of my main bottlenecks has to be my pc. it's of win-98 spec but barely running xp and blender =]

...coupled with sheer inexperience makes everything daunting.

i'll try harder next time. promise.

Thanks for the comments!

[StevenBlender]

pretty cool but a little to random

[tusagnamaster]

nice work i love the ending its really creative ....and i know it must have taken hours because those kind of effects with blender can be a pain

[deadlokIV]

Thanks

It did take far too long.

I had to cheat quite a lot to get the effects =]

Textured billboards for the first blue shot...

procedural world texture with ipo crap on it...

node noodles... =]

the radio was a bit poo ;)

[manumene]

what crap is that?

[deadlokIV]

i'm absolutely hating these spam bots =/

[Evilinuyasha1]

that was a awesome clip!...I'm gonna start trying to use blender and i think i just got more enthusiastic about trying it >_< but does anyone know who made that song? it's irritating me lol...

[deadlokIV]

Incubus - Make a move

[It's in the credits mate]

[greyash99]

OMG! That was really good :). I'm a total noob at blender and was wondering how you got those effects. Could I get a blend file or a tutorial?

[deadlokIV]

I'd be more than happy to help your blendering!

I could give you some of my blend files; but i was rushing so they're all fragmented into about 13 different files =]

[latiz]

That was nice, very artistic! =)

[sirnubenegra]

wtf

[deadlokIV]

heh, yea. it's the result of sleepless nights, lack of ideas, and a closing deadline.

loves it.

[WARDISWARD]

rotflmfao.....what the fuck is dis ?

Timelapse? hell no .CRABLAPSE!!!

You just tried to show off some effects ...which weren't that good at all .

keep working

[deadlokIV]

cheers bud

you have fun dancing in your mom's basement then.

[superduperdude123]

Nicely done bro! nicely done

[tronotanic]

get on boss!! two thumbs right up

[Kiltmaster]

Aside from what everyone seems to be saying about the radio, I thought that this was a pretty good little clip. I recently got my hands on a copy of the latest 'blender', and I'm in the process of working my way through the tutorials. Seeing what you've made here is something of an inspiration.

Kudos, and cheers.

[Samipe]

Quite weird. :D

[deadlokIV]

howcome?

[deadlokIV]

I totally agree...the radio wasn't even on my storyboard. Wish I did it right.

I would have missed the deadline if I didn't do it though.

Thanks!
