I've lost the motivation to finish the remaining shots and fix the obvious issues but I'm calling it done regardless. Thank you Xavi for the inspo and help, as well as everybody who gave me notes to work on! vimeo.com/902771582?share=copy www.artstation.com/artwork/DvJ69n

I've gotten a few questions about this project recently so I'm making this public in case anyone finds this helpful!! I did this a year ago and I would definitely do 70% of the things here differently. The raw renders are pretty shit so fix it in comp applies here

EARTH QUAKE AND VOLCANO ERUPTION IN HONG KONG!?
This is on another level. Great work buddy
Wow. . .
wowww
This is amazing!!! The Mad Max Fan Project looked epic!
I've been using Houdini for years and I still can't manage to do this. You are such an inspiration!
hello gummybear0305 i’m a big fan of your work❤❤❤❤
Hi! I am a massive fan of your work❤... May I know which iPhone model did you take these shots?🙌🙌🙌
ipod 4! hope this helps x
@@nicolaschan3335 thank you so much x
@@gummybear0305 oxox
i dont get it, what do you mean everything except everything?
incredible
Those Macabre shots and the car shots are incredible. Any tips for getting them to look like that? It's the type of look I'm trying to go for but can never quite get right.
thank you! anything about them in particular? shading, lighting, comp etc.?
@@nicolaschan3335 I suppose all of the above if they all contribute to it but mainly the lighting and comp! They're just very cinematic/realistic in a way that doesn't feel like CG and they have an artistic touch which I love. In case you have any courses or tutorials to recommend, that would be awesome too :)) I'd be happy over any insight
@@jessiluc hmmm don't think i can be of much help, with lighting as the things i do is usually pretty basic, env light + sunlight (sometimes gobos) for daylight and street lights for night time shots. as for comp, finding the correct values and balancing the image does wonders, i usually try to match the lighting conditions in my refs and do the creative grades afterwards. sorry im not very experienced in both disciplines so i can't offer much help haha, but im happy to elaborate if you have any additional questions about fx :)
@@nicolaschan3335 I see, still thank you!! I saw that you've used Vray for them, I'm trying to decide if I should get Vray or Redshift to use in Houdini and Maya. Would you say Vray and/or Redshift is worth it?
@@jessiluc sorry for the late reply! from my experience i find vray easier to do photoreal work, redshift has that mograph look to it but i’ve seen some amazing renders from other redshift users as well. GPU renderers certainly have their limitations. i’ve used mantra, karma, redshift, vray and 3delight and i think vray gets me the best looking results out of the box very quickly for non fx renders! this is just my personal opinion
looking good!
first scene...what the fuck, man...looks like something from a hollywood movie
That’s crazy where did you learn Houdini from also any tips as a beginner in Houdini?
i would recommend houdini-course.com for beginners!
Where can I start to make things like that?
any shot in particular?
Looking real good man ! Is there any tutorials you'd recommand to check to get a similar result than your project at 3:10 ? (Talking about the ripples mostly!)
thanks! there wasn't anything special, its just a standard narrow band sim with the horse as collision, with some additional curl noise added to the collisionvel to get some more interesting shapes lorenz (the env artist) sent me the point scatters he did on the surface, and i did a simple pops advection with the surface and vel field to get the points to follow the sim. that's pretty much it!
amazing
Great work mate, keep it up!
nah this aint a junior reel, this is a mid level reel
Such a impressive work! I just embarked the journey to be VFX artist this year, I wish I will be like you !! Thank you for motivation
👍👍👍👍
I'd say you are now on your way to becoming a master!
i loveeeeee the underwater shot!
Always fan of ur work
🔥
You are a very talented artist! This is an impressive and inspiring progress, keep it up this way and I'm excited to see where it will be going
Very nice !
crazy!

Nothing but hard work and commitment. I love to see it, thank you for being an inspiration!

this is dope and inspring
Absolutely amazing. Thinking of buying a new horse for these renders. Thanks
thank you so much for the kind words!!
This is some spectacular render over there! great job.
This is epically "Mad" in creativity like Mad Max :) well done, Nicolas
Awesome job! Keep ot up!!
This is awesome
what's your Instagram man
hey sorry for the late reply, its @laamlaamlaam
Congrats did you go to DAE Howest in Belgium?
Nope, I’m based in London and Hong Kong
You know writing "junior" and showing that will deserve you, it means you can't sell yourself, this is more than mid level work, no one will hire you as junior with this work because it means you're not aware of levels in the industry
hey, i really appreciate your comment but i’m not exactly sure what you mean? i’ve landed a job as a jr fx td, i’m fresh out of uni and i’ve got less than a year of experience, so by definition i am a junior regardless of my skill level, at least initially when i’m just setting foot in the industry
U need an urgent dictionary..
Awasome! How long did it take you to make? And how long did it take to render?
thanks! this took approximately 3 months to complete (didn't work on this full-time). I separated the renders by elements (bg, fg, etc.), and the dust cloud alone took 1.5-2 days to render, but the rest were pretty fast (1 - 6 mins per frame)
@@nicolaschan3335 I made the same thing to my avatar project. Separated all the elements. Because the scenes were too heavy. 3 months-Craziness. Great job!
@@pedan_production Yeah for sure it’s the way to go, appreciate it! :)
Amazing work dude!!! I want to became like you 😭 where did you study?
Thank you, appreciate it! I’m not studying VFX or CG related subjects, but I can recommend houdini-course.com, absolutely the most comprehensive and in depth beginner course
@@nicolaschan3335 thank you so much!
system specs
You should use an bump textures or just pastel Color’s maybe would have been satisfying , the render is the main think holding you back here! Great animation tho.
appreciate the feedback! i’ve been working on some new stuff, check out my channel if you’re interested :)
wow great, what’s your pc specifications
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X DDR4 64GB RAM RTX 3060 12GB
@@nicolaschan3335 Incredible wok, very inspiring! Wait did you do all the sims and render on that machine? 3060 is enough? wow!
@@Taranis_The_Third Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I've recently upgraded to 128gb ram but I did everything on this reel on that machine. If you're interested about the newbie optimisations/workflows I did, I posted a comment on the Mad Max video on my profile
@@nicolaschan3335 Thanks I'll check it out : )
