Great video Martin! My tips would be: add some people (if it makes sense in the context of the scene of course) to make it even more interesting. Use photographs of real sky as the background rather than using 3D clouds (can't beat the photorealism of, well, photo's) and use as much nature as possible - lately I've been photoscanning some of those weeds that grow at the corners of buildings, after seeing Ian Hubert do it. To my surprise, you can 3D scan them if it's a wind-still day. Just don't put them too close to the 3D camera, as it'll look a bit weird. That kind of chaotic nature can't really be replicated easily. Scan some rubbish or natural, organic chaos whenever you see it, it adds a lot of realism.

General tips from landscape photography works wonders too. For example make the foreground a little bit (really just a smudge) warmer and the background colder white balance. Because that is how we see the world and it adds a lot of depth to the image. Either by two light sources or even easier in such a case a quick gradient filter in final composing. So yeah, checking out landscape photography tutorials if you do landscape or architecture photography if you to buildings and so on really helps to improve.

Martin, this is jaw-dropping! I love the birds animation especially. Maybe it's just because going outside into the nature is not my favorite thing, but that's something I never would have thought Blender was capable of. I will definitely be trying to replicate something like that, but maybe with soldiers charging against each other instead (Heroes of Bronze idea maybe??)

Taking the leaves a step further: blowing dust in a desert environment (tumbleweeds?), papers in an urban environment; gusting rain/snow. Animate a noise texture (X coordinate, and W factor on 4D noise) in foreground or just above ground plane for some mist . Blender's ocean texture on oceans, lakes, rivers, even puddles will look more real. Adjust scale, choppiness, and wind velocity for an appropriate look. Velocity can be animated to simulate gusts.. Wind velocity can be used to give the sensation of flowing water in a river too, as can texture mapping and sliding the coordinates. Make your trees look even more real by adding a lattice around them and gently bending them in the breeze.

I think I just got some music production insights from your bit just before the title card. Every little detail / layer gets you closer to quality. Like adding a grunge / grime texture layer on a model. Maybe it's like adding a saturator in Ableton. Or humanizing the drums by unquantifying them a bit.

3:32 The artistic name for the foreground object that emphasizes depth is "repoussoir" ("push back") and that has been widely known and used by old masters. But indeed not so much for blur, I suppose; at least I don't think views made from camera obscura projections featured any. And it even took a while for cinematography to appreciate lens effects, since initially camera manufacturers spent a lot on making lenses as non-existent for viewers as possible to make pictures look "true".

Thanks for the amazing advice and tips! If it's not impossible to make a request, I've always wanted to learn from someone masterful enough, To spend maybe 30 straight minutes, going over each, and every command. Every window, starting from left to right, top to bottom, what this command is called, what it does, why and when you would want to use it... ....maybe create one particular cool representation /model out of it ( So we can do the exact same alongside you?) I know it's a lot to ask, but I would watch it 5 times over until I memorized every command, and I cannot find one KZfaqr that knows / can teach correctly / engagingly, and I feel like you'd be amazing at it AND it would be an absolute MONSTER of a video that would bring in THOUSANDS of new artists and who knows what type of art we can grow the community into! I hope you consider this monstrous task, I'll be watching every one of your videos to pick up snipets here and there. Thanks for everything, - Your New Subscriber
