If you look for Pixar's job requirements for animators, they say you dont need to know any software or youdont even have to know about 3D animation; they use a in house software anyway and half of the team that made Toy Story 1 didnt even know how to use computers before joining(ok this last part might be a misremembering).

@@horusreloaded6387 given how Pixar probably has 1000s of applicants to choose from, they're gonna pick the person with 10+ years of experience over some random person they picked off the street that hasn't done any 3d animating/modeling/whatever related work in their life.

@@fortnitefanatic7947 old narrator od extra credits youtube channel said that he was working for pixar and he is a 2D artist iirc. Maybe he didnt work on 3D parts, dunno.

@@horusreloaded6387 yeah, I guess plenty of jobs at Pixar aren't 3d related, unless Disney takes care of all the marketing and stuff now or something like that

@@fortnitefanatic7947 even with marketting there is still tons of writers, story board artists etc. Btw, iirc Dory had a 2D scene for some flashback scene? Dunno

Thanks!

Depends how you learn I guess

Daniel or who is teaching

Guru

Lmao thought about that aswell

totally true animators understand this well :D

dot bro what do you mean ? -_-

dot bro well not really not all of them looks fake dude ;) game of thrones is enough to prove that

+dot bro well cause they are imaginary creatures basically ;)

Well im guessing these animators dont really have a 'real world' references for how dragons move and it is very tricky especially when you have to factor in scale, mass (like how bigger objects seem to move slower relative to human scale), gravity, wind and all that physics mumbo jumbo not to mention every animal anatomy is very different, they move and function in their own specialized way, it takes a long time to learn an animal's anatomy then learn how they move ++bonus fictional dragon anatomy that doesnt exist???. Very complex stuff and great animators deserve much respects for their genius haha..

Elon musk doesn't like this element

imphenzia is a really good beginner teacher for learning the program. if i started this when i was 12 i would be a blender god

Eco you should get into graphic design, its a really giving career. Super fun, can do it from home and good paying!

LittleRainGames this isn't graphic design.

Eco Same here, except my PC can't possibly run something like this.

same story

Thanks! That's really encouraging to hear :) Glad it was interesting to you.

lmao

Really? That’s such a coincidence

39:16 OK I did NOT expect to see my local German number plate (GG Kreis Groß-Gerau) on a Japanese Car in an English video from an Aussie talking about blender

@@user-rw8rc3yp9d ok..

@@thisdanguy @ֹ ok..

Yess it will make things so much easier in the long run

Kubo Kubo I agree. I don’t think anime artists needs to learn super realism or super realistic pencil shading. But even they need to learn the structure an a little anotomy

Unfortunately this just isn't true. There are colleges and universities all over the world that when someone shows stylised Disney-esque work or Bluth style work, they are lauded and set as the example to follow while others that do Ghibli inspired work or any even remotely anime like style, are dissuaded from doing so and punished for it. If it was as you say, it would go both ways, but it simply doesn't. I know because I studied animation and saw it first hand and I know many on twitter from countries across Europe, Australia and North America that had the same issues. Many teachers are people who worked on old Disney cartoons or Don Bluth works or who grew up in that era that frankly are grumpy and stuck in their ways, refusing to acknowledge this new rise in anime art styles because it's weird or different. Many of them would say things like "You'll grow out of it" as if it's something childish when ironically, anime and manga are often far more adult and mature in their tone and story than any mainstream western animation. Others would say it's manga or anime if you even had the slightest hint of that style even if you weren't attempting to do so. And ironically again, many of them would say things like "it's not anatomically correct" when some manga and anime has far more realistic anatomy, showing every single muscle and having more realistic proportions than most of Disney which simplifies and stretches the extremes for better design language and smoother flow of lines whereas anime is often more blocky but more realistic. They would also act as if limited animation is awful and therefore anime equals bad ignoring the fact that pretty much all modern animation that is hand drawn is limited animation and the fact that most animated western tv shows look like crap compared to pretty much any anime in existence in terms of the very things they hate on anime for such as a supposed lack of realism. Meanwhile Adventure Time has no anatomy to speak of at all, no skeletal structure, just noodle arms and legs and incredibly simple designs making them far easier to animate. Then you have anime with fairly realistic proportions, amazing perspective, incredible backgrounds that put even disney's best work to shame released within a weekly show rather than a movie that takes years to make AND they have cast shadows on characters, far more detail (not necessarily better, just harder to animate, therefore requiring more skill and time) and sequences like from Attack on Titan or Naruto with insane perspective shots, weight of motion and some of the best hand drawn camera moves ever put onto a screen. The truth is, professors shit on anime because they want to gatekeep and stick to the old ways and stop any outside influences, its as simple as that. They often actively discourage doing anime even after you clearly know all of the fundamentals by heart just because they have a distaste for it in their ignorance not because they're trying to help you.

yea, he just saved me a huge headache tbh

I disagree, What about Nintendo, indie games, and internet artists? Like I when straight for Pixel art and now CGI having only a little experience sketching nothing photorealistic when I was much younger. And people like my art so you don't need to start in a certain style to be good you just have to be good at your style. However, studying techniques/styles and using reference photos helps but to required start/needed? No, at least not for me.

Ay Captain

Patrick Spann ya

He's Blender GURU, I think his name holds up with how well he uses the software :D

He's doing another one now, with the launch of 2.8.

Yes

Are you interested in photography, drawing, or anything related to the arts? Tips like these can be translated to real world applications, like when you are taking a family photo and you want to get the perfect shot, or you end up not getting the perfect shot and editing it in photoshop.

Exactly this, same so perfect it is worth watching anyway.

Because he's the Guru

An obvious contradiction

Not anymore there`s a blanket!

_Taste the S u n_

We could make a religion out of this

Nah, it was just reminding himself what he drawing the car and should be careful, but in sec he decided take a picture of road.

It wouldn't make sense, you need some experience to understand

Aw thanks man! That's awesome. Glad the videos have been helpful :)

WOW, good point

I mean imperfections can make the pic look even better depended on the angle and the settings

Equilion I think this may be a message. Life isn’t realistic, when you try it to make perfect

That is something I thought about myself, so here it goes. It shows one's skill. If you just get a camera and shoot a photo in AUTO mode the picture will be looking normal but everyone can do that. The more unreal and perfect you make it appear (as in framing the shot, not so much changing colors and doing some Photoshopping) the more it shows your skills as a photographer. Similarly, it is easy to make an unrealistic looking CG render. The more real looking you make it seem, to the point where one would be unable to distinguish it from a real photograph, the more it shows your skill as a modeler. You might say it is for showing off, and you might be right. But also there are situations where you NEED to do either of those things (photograph something perfect looking or render something real looking) and the more capable you are of it, the more sought after you might be. That is what I am thinking. For me Blender is a hobby, so it is more like playing a hard video game - the pleasure of becoming better at it is like beating a difficult boss. That is all, have a good one, nixp

@@evanshsedani1575 so correct! The andle in which light hits the surface and the interactions the photons take on to reach the eye is extremely important. Some may say the andle is the most important piece to your photo!

Cool! It's easy to start by the way :) Blender is free!

Lol. Let us know when you get that job at ILM.

well technically penis for two runs on ocilloscope BOTTOM TEXT

who ever said video games aren't cg? lmao. ppl literally make video games in blender....

Nooo It was a Donut not doughnut 😂

...if only more companies would allow for Blender usage... the thing is that if you have a pipeline you have to integrate new software to make sure production is not delayed. Blender is becoming a truly awesome software that will be responsible for a lot of amazing art! Cheers

I work with MAX daily and I'll be the guy who disagrees. Just the sheer amount of plugins and stuff available in MAX eclipses blender. Corona renderer FTW!

***** This is where your hippy attitude, unfortunately, is stopping growth and businesses. Since under Open-Source and GNU licenses everything is given away with no compensation - business cannot strive. Sucks to be a programmer in your community... Sure, great for free-loaders, but there's no surprise there's no variety of software under open-source platforms. I will not magically state that Blender is inferior to MAX - it is not. But its UI is (to me personally) such a mess that I'd not want to work there. And some of the things, like PBR rendering...why have people only started talking about this NOW when the commercial tools have always supported such functionality? Open-source software is great - I use stuff like 7-Zip, Handbrake and StaxRip and they work well. But maaaaan is everyone stuck in the 90's UI-wise... Maybe I wouldn't dislike Open-source software if people paid attention to how it looks too (form follows functionality). That and the fact that renderers like Corona aren't available for Open-Source/GNU platforms (like Blender) due to the fact they'd need to reveal their own code in order to make it available (basically shafting the devs for their hard work).

Also, everything CAN be in focus on a photograph. Ansel Adams' and Stephen Shore's work is a great example of that.

True. I guess I should have said without post-processing. As far as I know a raw photo from a camera can't all be in focus right?

+Blender Guru If the focal distance and the aperture of the lens are small enough, everything can be in focus (as long as you don't put something, right in front of it). Technically, a still is all in focus as long as every point in the image shows no perceptual detail loss from a "true" focused element. So, is hard but not impossible.

As soon as you start dealing with small apertures (especially in wide-angle lenses) you start losing detail to diffraction. So even if everything is "in focus" you start losing fine detail and start introducing a bit of soft blur over the whole image. Depending on the resolution and the size displayed this might not be noticeable though, thanks to the circle of confusion getting smaller with smaller sizes. This is also where you can easily spot a tack-sharp CGI. Especially visible when people put CGI cars over photo backplates, for example.

Thanks for sharing it :D Hope it's helpful to others

scary...

Reminds me of when I took the kids to create art by trying only the colour red and natural paints! They weren't even my kids! I think they learned a lot 😌

***** U didn't get me right. Andrew says it in the video)))

haha :P

Most excited part!

Yeah sorry, I was meaning to throw it in at the end and then forgot :( Sorry! It'll be up on ArtStation soon though.

Martín Varela if you watched this 54min just for 1 frame then you are already lost

exactly

Yeah, voice actors are cheaper than actors. At the same time though, I'm sure a lot of directors will stick to real actors for personal reasons.

Yeah...I mean, you don't HAVE to do motion capture, but it's sooooooo much easier to make realistic animation that way.

Some photographers still use film

That is literally not possible. The most i could see is like 80% CGI and even still that would be rare. Hollywood films also require intense realism as said in this video and high quality, nearly perfect shots if they use the CGI route. That being said, one shot alone could take many hours to render. Im talking like 20+. Take Transformers for example, do some research on the amount of render time put into those movies. Another big thing too is that CGI does in fact look amazing and I strongly believe it will continue to get better, but CGI looks best when mixed with practical footage. For example practical dirt charges and fire, then using CGI to mimic a plane crashing. CGI can simply never replicate every aspects of real life. And finally, by doing this you are literally putting thousands of people out of jobs. Im no film expert but I know if Hollywood took the route of CGI, directors, actors, set designers, location managers, makeup/costume designers, lighting experts and prop manufacturers would all become useless. I know it seems like only a few jobs, but for one movie, all those jobs I listed would absolutely require thousands of people; and the list continues. Hell even cameras would be useless! Anyways I know this is a year late but those are my ideas.

This man is responsible for the donut.

Those of us that ventured into photography suffer it too. :P

Wow dude, never noticed that!

I HATE chromatic aberration. Sometimes I download a game and it has chromatic abberation in it for style and I'm just like, "who would purposely want this. It looks trash"

Also I have glasses and sometimes it gives me a headache

My prescription is really high so the edges of my vision are like a 3D film from 2002

Each year it's becoming more and more advance with hundreds of thousands lines of codes which is all done for your entertainment.

Well yeah cgi games didnt exist till the 90s

kaiser der variante Exactly.

This would be VERY helpful actually!

Sure! What specifically would you like covered? So far we've got Outdoor lighting: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nK-PebCSkp7bZWQ.html and Character Lighting: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bdVgg8Smzay1qaM.html Anything else do you need help with?

I just recently learned that there is no light linking in cycles. Can you make a video of what blender lacks in the lighting department compared to other professional softwares?

+Blender Guru I want videos explaining kinds of lighting setup say 3 point lighting how to use them whr to use them it would be so great if u can make 1 like tat:)

In lighting, Gleb Alexandrov reigns supreme.

Nah he's got a sixth sense for knowing when a camera is pointed at him, and runs towards it and bumps his head on it. Underwhelming footage every time :P

***** OMG, so cute. Lol.

but is he photorealistic?

Try to count the hours of free training you've been offered here. You can't sit through a minute of advertising in exchange for all that?

He should try listening to a podcast . . . 10 minutes of adverts, 45 minutes of content. Every single time.

Yeah sorry about that, normally I run noise removal over it, but didn't think it needed it this time. Listening back it definitely did. Sorry!

Blender Guru No worries, I still watched the whole thing and enjoyed it ;)

FYI, I'm listening on speakers and I can't hear the noise. Only headphone users will notice.

Great point

CG post-processing is doing the opposite of what photographers do in post-processing
