Blender 3D Demo Reel 1 "The Future"

A demo reel of CG effects created using the open source Blender 3D software. Visit www.blender.org for info on the free software that allows you to create 3D scenes quickly and easily. This first volume is entitled "The Future" and shows some work I've created since 1999 with the Blender software. Most of the work in this volume was done using versions of Blender previous to 2.25. The newest versions of blender have some of the most advanced 3D model/physics/render abilities - comparable to many pieces of 3D software that cost several thousand dollars and require years of learning. Join the blender community and see what "mindshare" is all about.

I really liked it.

[SKPvideo]

@blenderbroadcast Thank you.

How did you do the lensflares?

[toclimbthesky]

This is the most impressive blender animation I have ever seen, though Elephant's dream was quite impressive as well. I would absolutely LOVE it if you made some tutorials.  Looks like you've got the textures down packed!

very good

I'm convinced now

@Leto85 - The video was done with one... right now I use a series of 10 computers - but most are just garden variety. If you're doing everything in Blender with full hi-res models and all the fancy render options - yeah - you'll need some high-powered comps if you're doing big renders... But I find a lot of cheats... prerendering backgrounds and compositing them in... using textures strategically to eliminate the need for fancy shaders and complex lighting setups...

[Leto85]

@SKPvideo And how many computers would you advice to use when creating something like your video? What hardware do you advice? I'm talking about videocards mostly.

[SKPvideo]

@Leto85 - Keep in mind most of the work i this video was doen a decade ago.  Back then I would model ann set te scene up on a single computer and let it render overnight. The only times I would use my multi-computer setup was if I was doing commercial work - at that point I would use as man computers as needed to finish by the deadlines.

[Leto85]

@SKPvideo Haha, that is true. But how long did it cost you to render all this? Or did you work on several computers, rending one while you are working on the other?

I admire your work. Really well done.
