We used Maya (educational license) for 3D renders, After Effects for compositing and VFX, and Premiere for editing the space film “Flight to the Universe”. After the films are done, we’re switching over to Blender for our videos because the program has all the video pipeline in 1, and it’s free to use!

i love your content , i really do , and you're very different than the other youtubers that just make content for personal benefits , you do the job for those who are up to the work and you're helping them a lot , thanks again.

Your channel's production value is absolutely insane. You've got a new sub.

This channel is amazing, man. I forgot how i got to see your video for the first time but im happy that i did and now im a fan. Keep this amazing work going.

Andrey, Andrey, Andrey! Brilliant as usual. I presented a very similar description of these tools years ago to the students I used to teach in a game development course (of course now there are far more options to us artists), and it's awesome that now I can just point anyone with the same questions to this video! Your well rounded, and non-biased explanation reveals how you care about your viewers making sound and educated decisions themselves, for their own path, and not simply based on someone else's opinions or emotions.

I really respect you for making this video. It totally put all the software in the motion graphics industry in perspective. Wonderful job.

Best VFX channel, you really help out newbees. These informations are so fundamental, and no one ever said before. After I watched many of your videos I learned a lot of non technical things, that was needed to get a grip for a good start! Thanks man , keep up with the great works!

Man! That Intro is amazing i love the connected music and camera movements as well as the nice sound of the owl in the end

We are all really thankful for you, Andrey. You keep things concise and simple to understand. You are very much a realist. Always speaking the truth.

Yaaaay! Resolve 15 is my choice! So glad you like Fusion and make tutorials for it. 🙌🏻

This is my favorite channel....💓💓💓

Your channel is really helpful! I think your honesty is what attracts everyone here sharing all your experiences and always considering the view of beginners.

I started to learn Houdini about a year ago. There are tons of courses, tutorials about it. It is really hard but i love it.

Ты невероятно мотивируешь развиваться дальше. Твои успехи и стремление побуждает других расти, и не лениться/бояться новых шагов. Ты реально удивительный человек, отличающийся невероятным стремлением к мечте, и терпением. Идеально все разжевываешь, даже на иностранном языке. Я уверен что многие люди считают тебя великим, как и я. Поэтому я желаю тебе ещё больше терпения и удачи. Спасибо за мотивацию, Андрей.

As someone just getting into 3D this was SUPER helpful and informative. Thank you!

I'm Brazilian, and I'm your fan, congratulations on the content and charisma.

Dramatically destroy it ahahah too good Andrey! Loving your video content :D Thank you!

My heart dropped when I heard the price for Houdini, but then it came back when you said that it was free. Also thank you so much for sharing!

You are my favourite teacher on the internet. Big love from South Africa

so far the best explanation I have ever seen on youtube.

I'm a beginner in 3D world and just keep myself motivated by watching your videos, Respect and peace.

Мужик, спасибо. Уже 2 года уверенно летаю в Cg и иногда возвращаюсь к тебе, закрепить основы.

Brilliantly amazing video, superb information.. Thanks for making this video :)

Thank You Andrey..............Always a big fan. I have learned a lot from you.

Best overview I've seen yet! Thanks!

Love your vids man!

Just wanted you to know you are the only channel among my subscriptions with an active notification.

On editing: all professional movie editors I happen to know use AVID for their work. (by the by, it was a super helpful video!)

Great video Andrey!

Andrey: "ZBrush is a software with an interface from another planet" 2 Chainz: "Truuuuuuuuuu"

Самый полезный и сложный канал на ютубе для меня. Всякие Маккиноны, это как школа 11 класс, а вот тут, сложнее чем в универе на первом курсе, когда сидишь и ничего не понимаешь, но так интересно, что смотришь каждое видео. Спасибо за очередной ништяк!

I like how those fireflies don't jump on jump-cuts :) Great video btw! Love your channel very much!

Totally best.Since I am learning compositing this video is the best video i have ever seen

Just discovered your channel man. respect. Good info from someone who knows what his saying.

great video! I feel inspired. Thank you 👍 what is the name of the firefly looking lamp on your cabinet in the right side? it's cool 😅

Все по полочкам разложил, тонны любви тебе! Блендер прекрасен. В какой-то мере (и очень даже неплохой) может вообще все и бесплатен. Жаль только ни в одну более-менее "серьезную" контору с ним не пойдешь работать, не стандарт.

really helpful video I will tag ol my frnds who are still confused where to start ! thank you man

Thorough and no fluff. Thank you.

Great video as always. You should have included some more softwares covering MOCAP - motion capture topic. Facial mocap for dialog syncing softwares. Or you may make an entire video dedicated to it. Regards

awesome video man.love it

So detailed and informative. Thanks for the tips 💕

Awesome info, I really do have to think about the direction I'm going.

I love hearing you lament (rightfully) that Maxon didn't offer a subscription service - and now they finally do!

Yo... thank you so much for the info. You’re great, bro.

Andrey Lebrov & Andrew Kramer, you are my biggest inspiration so far, thanks

I went from 3Ds Max to Houdini... no regret!

Great content dude!!! Keep it up

Thank you for your great straight-to-the point video. I really appreciate your straightforward style (compared to some other youtubers who try to be too funny, baloons and too many crowd-pleasing antics distracting from the point). Thanks for the pointer to fusion being free, I am downloading it now. Your video intro is really nice...the appearing 3D owl in front of the curtains...if I may ask, what software was involved in that? You could do a whole tutorial on that short but powerful intro you have.. I went back to watch it 3 times! hahaha...the music helps. Basically, I'm a fan of your work, just after watching this one video. Cheers m8

послушал с удовольствием,прокачал свой скилл инглиша на слух)Спасибо бро!

Огонь видос! Всё по полочкам разложил. Спасибо, Андрей!

Thanks man, this video it’s so cool

I would like to have a modeling tutorial on C4D . So nice to have a professional on KZfaq like you

Thanks Andrey! That was very useful!

You are really amazing. Keep doing videos like this 💪

I really have to mention something... People watching your videos should really appreciate the amount of knowledge you are presenting. I can say that by my self because I am a student at SAE Institute studying Game Art and 3D Animation paying a lot of money for my education and basically everything you say sounds familiar and is true... The only difference in between my university and this youtube channel is that it is free... So guys listen carefully and take note of every single word spoken ;)

Been looking for a video like this for a min. Someone to talk about different programs that are good to use for different resons of use.... Thanks

Starting a platform to teach and empower the under privileged population and loving your vid. You give me a starting point for my learning. Thank you 🙏

You just got a new subscriber 🙌🏻🙌🏻

love your vids man

Hey Andrey I Never Watch A Video Like This Before You explained it very nicely and Sorted out everything .I am VFX Student from India I was really Confused about What is the Use of Softwares Individually. Please keep Making Videos Like This Lots Of Love😊😊😊
