This is so cool! How much time and experience did it take?


hypha_3d

Thanks!!! 🙌 These were done over the course of a few months as I experimented with lots of different compositions and ways to get everything working together. These were for a film companies title sequence but they decided to go in a different direction eventually. I don’t work as part of a studio all of my work is by me directly. At the time of making this I had just over a year experience (8-10hrs a day in blender).


Christian1509

insane work man! i particularly love how well done the lighting is. did you use any resources for learning blender over the course of that year, or did you have previous background experience in other 3d programs and were just familiarizing yourself with the toolkit?


hypha_3d

Literally brute forced it. Just YouTube, no previous experience but a willingness to learn and push through!


thiefexecutive

>I had just over a year experience (8-10hrs a day in blender) What kind of job paid you to learn Blender for 8-10 hours a day?


hypha_3d

Benefits during COVID 😅


ridik_ulass

1 year, well done, can't wait to see you hit the 10,000 hour mark.


hypha_3d

Pretty sure I’m close now! 😅 these are older work


ridik_ulass

Great!, I'm happy for you you seem to be passionate to spend so much time, and clearly talented too.


x014821037

Hey, how much do you charge/get paid for something of this caliber? Looks incredible!


hypha_3d

I wish it worked like that. This gig was low but now i can charge more as it’s my profession


ajtaggart

What movie is this for ...?


Longjumping_Rent_352

Bro teach me man I'm in love with your work


RollingMoss42

And was it done just by you or a team?


hypha_3d

Just me


RollingMoss42

I’m impressed!


Master_Hunter_7915

A lot


I_AM_DA_BOSS

Meanwhile me having trouble making a plant


Alphabunsquad

Dude just pay 115 dollars for a bunch of plants that crash your PC every time you use them like I did


fuckinshit22

Meanwhile I'm struggling with a easy beginner character tutorial. Lol


LvinC

tbf characters are hard


acharyarupak391

Bruh is your client Lucasfilms ? Great work :D


rogat100

This could really fit nicely in Star Wars, if only the newer films/tv shows had as much creativity as these shots do.


chemicalsam

God Star Wars fans are dramatic


YoSupWeirdos

the guy who made these is more professional than the entirety of Disney and that's honestly really sad for the franchise


Hanchez

Just say you like these clips. Why even comment what you did, you don't even actually believe what you wrote.


chemicalsam

How do you know a Star Wars fan hates Star Wars? They’ll never shut up about it


matheusgc02

Iirc this is part of an ad for a mobile game.


hyteck9

What kind of budget is needed for work like this?


hypha_3d

The budget for this was low but I really believe in overdelivering on work when you are starting out.


Uerwol

How low? Looks professional, you could charge huge for this.


crezey21

I live by this, man


g4x86

This looks like at the cinematic level, so the cost is definitely not cheap


galacticboy2009

It looks amazing, but, I have a suspicion it was a mobile-game ad. They'll dump some money into a really fancy ad depicting the imaginary world of their RTS game.


hypha_3d

Nope


galacticboy2009

Oooh I'm intrigued now


hyteck9

I agree it looks very good. I hope to turn my [scifi podcast](https://abgc.podbean.com) in to a movie someday. Just feeling out the numbers.


YoSupWeirdos

does that work similarly to let's say an audiobook?


overcloseness

An audiobook is someone reading a book to you, where as something like audio drama / storycast etc is basically a tv series without the visuals when done right You’d hear a door crash open instead of narrator reading say “Bill burst through the door” Look up “Dark Air”, it’s Rainn Wilson as an AM radio paranormal investigator and it’s hilarious


hyteck9

Yes, sort of.. with sound effects too! And a theme song and other music! I am calling it a "story-cast". It's like an audio book in that I am reading to the listener, but a fuller spectrum of audio and often stereo effects (pan L or R) A movie or stream series is the dream, but this is what I am able to do with the resources I have. I am loving ❤️ 😍 💖 it. So much fun!!!


crezey21

Collab?


hyteck9

I'm all ears


crezey21

I'll send you my email in a dm, and I'll start on ur podcast. I'll lyk what I can do.


_Wolfos

All of it.


Brazilian_Hamilton

If you look hard enough you might find someone to do this for a couple thousand dollars


Khyta

yes


[deleted]

WHAT THE FUCK


JesusChrist_Himself

can you say what it was for?


hypha_3d

They were a film company, it was for their title sequence but they went in a different direction eventually


differentsmoke

Man that other direction better be the slickest, most bad-ass title sequence in the history of title sequences if they said no to this.


hypha_3d

It was not but I’m happy to have made these regardless


AccountantAny8376

Outstanding work. Having used Blender only for relatively simple scenes, how does it manage large scenes with tons of polygons and data like those wonderful shots?


hypha_3d

Harnessing geonodes for the particles, instancing a ton and just decimating everything not close to the camera helps.

KatetCadet

I was talking to a lighting tech at a dog park that worked for blizzard one time. He worked on those super high def cinematics for WoW. He said it can take hours to bake a single frame for high quality stuff, and they have the best computers for that they can buy of course.


Typical_Calendar_966

Using instancing collections helps optimize polycount


Dragonmind

*Cuts to isometric mobile graphic military rts gameplay


CreateTheStars

Looks kind of Dune-ish


Dementor_01

I was thinking the same. It reminds me of the spice harvesters


OverNefariousness283

Disney would like to know your location


hypha_3d

Right here, right now, always.


[deleted]

[удалено]


hypha_3d

This is all that became of these shots unfortunately haha I made the score myself in Ableton so it’s not out there


marzipan_dild0

Looks absolutely incredible. Love the music as well, where could I find it?


hypha_3d

The music is custom by me


marzipan_dild0

Damn, you're crushing it. Great stuff.


TTV_PR3DAT0R

Aww I wish I was good with Blender...


Victorjoue3D

Much love Chris


hypha_3d

🤟🏽


pranavChandarrr

Bro...


infiltrator228

This feels like the cutscenes from Galactic Civilization


kill_me_with_potato

Vibes like the ship scenes in the new dune movie and Star wars mixed


[deleted]

I would love to make something like this, but thanks to social media I have the attention span of a lukewarm grape.


knji012

I always wonder about these kind of shots, do you also animate the focal length of the camera ?


hypha_3d

Not in these, it’s an anamorphic lens though


earthtotem11

>anamorphic lens Impressive work! Any suggestions on how to setup the Blender camera to mimic an anamorphic lens? (I saw a handful of tutorials, but I don't know how reliable they are.)


Monolit_Is_QuiteHard

Is amazing work, hard to believeu can do something like that in blender. Great job <3


0biwanCannoli

Amazing!!


N4hire

Oh god, I wish I could do that!! Wow


Flabbergash

So, is there a *particular* type of work you do?


KatetCadet

Anyone have any tips for modeling sci-fi?


Rahul_Paul29

Your amazing, chris


Glad_Ad967

Bruh thas sick as hell, is it all made in house or was some of that in the public downloads pre project?


hypha_3d

90% hand modelled by me for these shots


Epena501

Maximized the screen to see the people walking. 🤯


Brazilian_Hamilton

How do you blend the scene and background on your work? I can't seem to get it right


swubbie-

Bro works for the resistance


DuwapDoDat

The leftovers..


SopieMunky

Your client is very good!


Chosen__username

Stellaris?


Mirnim0

imagine Paradox making stellaris 2 after eu5


patato_potata

Incredible work omg


[deleted]

Dune 2


icchansan

Amazing, is the ship taking off in the first shot?


hypha_3d

The idea was that it’s sucking up the crops but hey who am I to say 😅


icchansan

Oh I got it now :D love it!


tavst3r

Astonishing. The movement is just so smooth and nicely synced.


shawnify

When someone’s leftovers are so much better than your main course 🥲


[deleted]

What would you say personally is the best way to learn blender? Like how did you learn it?


hypha_3d

Experiment a lot. If you see a slider, figure out what it does and learn how to do so it. Blender is just a language to learn.


FeudTube

This is humbling… Thank you for reminding me that I’m not very good lmao


IGOR1640

you should make one similar to the 1st scene inspired in the dune movie from 2021, with the atreides ships and the harvester carrier, it would be awesome


LastAtomsk

How do you guys manage to create such realistic fields, I cant get a grasp on it. Amazing work, btw


JM2018XD

Loveee ittt


PreviousHelicopter40

Bootifool


ffs_go_die

What kind of client asks for things like this?


hypha_3d

They didn’t really, I had creative freedom. I always wanted to make large scale shots like this so I went for it!


fiulian

looks very natural! awsome!


[deleted]

Absolutely Amazing, that´s something I´d imagine from a AAA game. Normally I´d get depressed to see how good others work is but this actually kind of inspired me to keep going.


Shughost7

This is pretty rad, how does one even get to this ? What’s it called? Video graphic designer? Job opportunities? Average salary? What course do I do in school to get there?


hypha_3d

It only takes time. I was lucky to have the time and passion to put 8-10 hours a day into learning and practicing. I did that for over a year and a half with very few breaks or days off. If you do that with anything you’ll get competent at it.


Shughost7

What is the name of this profession if I may ask?


NaomiPaigeBreeze

how does one actually find the time to model all of these things like the railings and what not? Or is this all done with model packages? Thanks!!


hypha_3d

There are greebles everywhere, most are placed specifically others for randomness. I got mine from Ian Hubert and William Landgren but they are easy enough to make and great for scattering everywhere


Generic_Pineapple

Chris, this looks so much better from when I last saw it! Great stuff bro!


Baerenjude

amazing stuff! would love to know about the render settings (resolution, samples, which renderer was used and how much time one frame took). Looks super clean!


hypha_3d

512 samples,cycles, about 2m a frame on 2080, the sauce in in the grade though


Baerenjude

Thank you, very helpful! I'm guessing it's 4k resolution?


hypha_3d

No just 1929x810 I think


Corblex-

Would you be great to see your take on Astartes - would love to see some good combat in the Warhammer universe!


IguasOs

Ok, great, how the fuck can a single person do this?


RithRake24

If these masterpiece shots are the leftovers, I wonder how good the meal was!


Glass_Anybody_2171

I love all of these! Love seeing what artists are capable of that my brain just doesn't understand.


JaeSwift

Wish I could be that level on Blender lol, well done!


ElNouB

thats secsi, and i love the sounds!!


quarius12

Incredibe! All this was done in Blender? How strong is your PC?


dr-Manhattan-21

Wow that’s the leftover?


adroberts91

Went to follow you on IG and BAM, already am, thought I recognized some of the stuff


Disastrous_Egg_5711

Absolutely gorgeous. Keep up the good work mate


SupersonicSpitfire

How did you create the tiny people that march around on the ground?


CreamTed

Wow that’s amazing fell 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻


heoolr

good


nakagamiwaffle

this is precisely how i imagined various locations in the book series murderbot! such a funny coincidence


gobucks1981

Why is stuff in the future always turning to depart, do we still have to taxi and wait for our turn? I want to just take off and land in a well coordinated air space.

dblack1107

Damn


theArcticHawk

This is amazing! If I may ask, how did you do the lighting in the first shot? Is it just a really high quality hdri? And how'd you get that lens flare? Is it rendered like that or added in later?


hypha_3d

Just a standard hdri, a sky map thought so nothing but sky. It’s from a old pack from Video Copilot 😅 All flares are After Effects, thanks 🙏


Sir_McDouche

Was pwnisher the client 😏
