2:32 i love how in this scene you can see the wings not flapping in sync to due the wind physics, unlike other dragons in movies that have their wings flap in sync. Which is why i find the flying for GoT the most realistic.
Can't get over the fact that the people that made GoT's dragons only have 10k subs on youtube. You guys are literal legends and deserve way more recognition!
dan tan right? I kept getting upset and when they killed him I was just super pissed dragons need a rider and can only have one and Jon bonded with rheagal yet he got killed off I defiantly feel more for the dragons then the characters but Jon and dany didn’t deserve the fate they got either but what can we do it’s over let’s just hope the books do them justice
@@dantan1249 Personally, I never particularly cared for how they colored Viserion on the show. He looked bland compared to Drogon and Rhaegal.....Much prefer how the books describe him as whiteish cream colored with gold wings.
You are my heroes. Never have I seen cooler dragons than the ones you created. I know how much work it takes to create something like this. I wish I had your level of knowledge in CGI. I would be able to do so much more. (Still learning)
Absolutely beautiful and breathtaking. I'm so inspired to create my own unique dragons in ZBrush. *Well done!* Now more studying of bird, bat, and other reptile anatomy. :)
The dragons were the full on reason i watched GoT, such majestic and powerful wyverns, animated realisticly and lively, those are the beings i would love to share the world woth.
All the creativity and simulations that went into their design and development is greatly appreciated. Simply the coolest dragons I've ever seen. The stuff Image Engine did later was awesome but only iterated on the groundwork you guys developed from Season 2 onward. The way you grew them was just awesome.
Gosh, I‘m so sad, that we will never see how big Drogon would have been become. He was just eight years old and grew so damn fast. Just imagine how big he would’ve been in a 13th season, as Georgs R. R. Martin told, the show needed in his opinion… And just imagine how big he would’ve been when‘s getting older…
5:23 curioso Viserion tiene sus cuernos apuntando hacia abajo mientras que Rhaegal tiene sus cuernos apuntando hacia arriba, nunca habia visto ese detalle de los hermanos.
Anyone notice the wing membrane changes? It goes from looking like it connected somewhere around the end of the ribs to just in front of the hip/leg. I like it connecting just in front of the hip.
The dragons look so amazing best I’ve seen yet and they were also the best characters in my opinion Also Drogon was always my favorite due to him being a black dragon and I love black dragons
My only wish was that the Dragons' colours were more brighter so you can really tell the difference between them. The Dragon models before the lighting effects are displayed are absolutely beautiful and you can really tell them apart there.
What you see there is the "true color" or albedo. That's what you get in photogrametry when specular, occlusion, subsurface and reflections are removed. It's done for the purpose of recreating realistic lightning, with mesured real world values in engines that use realtime occlusion, reflections, specular, subsurface and bounced illumination. Otherwise, the dragons would look stylised. And fake. Still, it is possible to create realistic brighter and more saturated materials for reptiles, but for creatures that big it makes no sense for them to look like that. Look at komodo dragons, elephants and similar animals. Weather and dirt exposure have an effect on the hue and brightness of their color. It's magnificent work done here, with ludicrous amounts of hours of research
Yeah you’ll see this a lot with Predatory animals that there coats, shells, skin will not have too many outstanding colors because they’re not meant to catch your eye 👁 otherwise they would not be great predators. Unlike prey like a flamingo 🦩 who do not rely on stealth for foraging.
@@АртемийАндриевский Very different creatures in avatar. And those look fantasy, which make sense in the fantastic and colorful world of avatar. You can't make it colorful when you have 10 different types of materials on a gigantic dragon: skin, many different types of scales, dirt etc
0:29 to all aspiring vfx peeps. The dragons and stuff like it look great on a reel but stuff like that hand being cg as well will get you job or at least talked about more.
You and your crew are amazing! Thank you so much for giving us the film. If you haven't won any awards, I truly don't understand Just absolutely brilliant. Didi,75, in SHITHOLE SF CALIFORNIA.
The only question I had that seemed to be something they overlooked was if the dragons underneath the pyramid have been chained up since they were young, how did the collars around their necks not strangle them as they grew. Those collars that Tyrion Took off of them looked a lot larger in season 5 than in season 3. Doesn’t seem likely that someone went and there changed out the collars as they grew.
I'm still sad that a lot of colors and details are lost in the final because of lightning and stuff. There were a lot of scenes where I didn't couldn't tell which dragons is which. In the first seasons it was more cleear for me
Yep but be sure to fire proof your whole entire home and to not have any extra pets lying around because dragons will and can eat anything that they can get their jaws around you know.
não sei se vocês repararam mais os dragões de Game of Thrones cospem fogo por um buraco de cada lado da boca já os dragões de House of the Dragons cospe fogo de uma forma mais realista o fogo vem de dentro da garganta não de buracos dentro da boca em cenas como a morte da Laena Velaryon e quando o Aemond tenta domar a Vhagar da para perceber

Ik this is four years ago but 4:20 freaks me out. This is insane dedication and creativity, im literally in awe!
I care more about the dragons than Jon Snow
why does raegal always look the fakest? i think that green is harder to light.

@@Jakegothicsnake i agree. i did liked raegal's design, its just that for what ever reason it looked faker.
Rite On! With U! 😍❤️
The dragons were awesome! Simply the best I've ever seen! I think I'm Drogons biggest fan... I'd love to see a movie just with the dragons. 😃
Well you are in luck now. House of dragon is out
Yea I was so sad when any died as if they were real. They nailed it.

The true stars of the show
One of the best depiction of dragons to ever exist in a tv series

The writers don't deserve the dragons that you brought to life, show and book.
they didn’t bring the dragons to life in the book, the *author* did and it was all for him. 🤦♂️

Dragons as children: cute as heck.
Dragons when grown up: badass as heck.
The way their wings are moving, how clean it looks, is almost like if they were swimming, I love it❤
Thank you for sharing this marvelous works you guys have done, absolute joy to watch!
Unreal realism. Bravo.. bravo.

Remember dragons outside of there obvious fire breathing abilities really are just the human version of what a falcon/eagle/owl is to mice and etc…
@@HakaiKaien you can still make something both colorful and realistic, like, for example, Avatar did

Awesome video, i cant believe how the hell they are gonna end this whole entire show and everyone's stories in 8 episodes but it was an great ride!
6 episodes, not 8.
well this comment... aged, definitely. How u holding up xD
Even the breakdown is a piece of art
0:29 to all aspiring vfx peeps. The dragons and stuff like it look great on a reel but stuff like that hand being cg as well will get you job or at least talked about more.
4:23 Drogon without horns is by far one of the most cursed things I’ve seen
The coolest video I’ve watched by far
This is amazing, awesome job I love the GOT dragons sm
This is so inspiring! Thank you for sharing these breakdowns.
Waiting for when we get this for House Of The Dragon
Thank you for the joy of my eyes!
They are beautiful creatures
Rigging the models must have been a nightmare, the texture and material work is insane.
You and your crew are amazing! Thank you so much for giving us the film. If you haven't won any awards, I truly don't understand
Just absolutely brilliant. Didi,75, in SHITHOLE SF CALIFORNIA.
Fabulous and there are clips and shots in this video that will be very helpful (art) thank you!

plot hole
Awwso sweet!l❤️😍
Thanks for sharing!

This was awesome
you deserve all the spotlight. this world needs more of your dragon creations.
So why exactly were you guys not working on the CGI in season 8?
They did it actually. They were responsible for Drogon in the Throne Room and another scenes as well
Pixomondo are the best!
Great work but I always wondered why Viserion wasn't cream-golden as in the book? He looks more like bronze in the show.
Thank you Pixomondo
But, i want my Dragons
😥😥😥
This show really makes you feel like these creatures actually existed many years ago
Can someone explain in depth what all those layers mean ? Or maybe link another video that explains process
Goosebumps
I'd love to see a movie just with the dragons.
Sitting here watching this while snuggling with my 5 foot black and red plush wyvern.
I absolutely love it
Great video!
Its a magic!
How on Earth! How did they animate , frame by frame or Motioncapture?
their color fading the more they growing up.
5:39 is that their actual size at the time compared to drogon?
No its not.
Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓
Speechless 😶
Super COOL!
Son los dragones mejor hechos de toda la historia televisiva 💓💓💓💓💓
I think I'm ice viserion biggest fan
This is the night Kings theme right?
There are the best dragons i ever sin spesale ice viserion
LIGHT OF THE SEVEN
Viserion went from whiteish goldenish orangeish creamish to grey and blue
Uh yeah, cuz he was a corpse.
@@oscarsantos2240 oh alright m8 calm down 😂
If dragons were real they would be scared of this one.
My faivrite dragon is ice viserion
give us this dragon file lol
Beautiful!!! 😍🤩😎👌👍😜💋💋💋❤️❤️❤️🌹
What the programs they used?
MS Paint mainly.
Well 6:26 is a beautiful shot
Whether the dragons in the eighth season will be even bigger?
They look smaller than in season seven for some reason :(
They look smaller in the trailer but hopefully it's just messed up perspective. They should get bigger every day.
@@May04bwu i hope you're right :(
Hahaha they were weak and small
Wyvern Cool 👌😆
Whats the final size for each dragon?
Music pls
Ramin Djawadi - Light of the seven
Ca you were edit blender
whats the sooooong thoooo
ok never miiiind but that sound at like 1:35 i have heard it somewhere before not gmt like when i was 5 jesus okay oh its at 2:05 also until like2:17
increible
animation in Maya ????
Most probably and looks like it.
3:56 Standard Maya gradient background
Incredible ☺️
WOW que buen trabajo me gustaría saber cómo se puede lograr tanto realismo la verdad
Gosh, just go to New Zealand and get a real dragon already! :)
Yep but be sure to fire proof your whole entire home and to not have any extra pets lying around because dragons will and can eat anything that they can get their jaws around you know.
just like the real ones.

The dragon skills are creepy
Blender is the best animation
This is a wyvern!
In the game of thrones universe its a dragon, GRRM said so. Quit bitchin about it.
Wyverns ARE dragons
😍😍😍😍❤❤🐉
👍👏💖
Good dragons, but best dragon is Smaug
Hated when she lockt them up😡
I miss how attractive the GOT cast were like most were beautiful to look at. Why did HOT D cast average looking people?
what an actually weird fucking thing to say
@@agentmothmanedits sorry that you're average
@@tresjolieme81 lmao wtf??? i’m glad to not be a judgmental CREEP fyi.
@@tresjolieme81 sorry that you’re so insecure and sad!
He should have killed Jon Snow, he was a traitor to Deanerys , absolute waste of breath , I will always follow Emelia and Deanerys.
Only thing I don't like; they're technically wyverns
And thats stupid because there is no diffrence as the word wyvern litteraly means two legged dragon.
There dragons
wyverns are dragons. stupid.
