Final ChouChou video: • How to Make Chocolate-...
See how I added a cute animated character, ChouChou, into real footage using Blender, After Effects, and Davinci Resolve. Also featured is special guest, Kyle Balda, who directed and animated the final ChouChou piece. Kyle has a long, successful career in animation at Pixar, ILM, and Illumination. He was kind enough to share some tips on character design and animation. Enjoy!

I’ve seen countless VFX tutorials over the years, but I think this is the first time really seeing what a professional workflow looks like. Thanks so much! And amazing results, of course :)
Thanks so much, Ronald! I'm glad this helped you understand the workflow.
This has the most convincing patron plugs
Working directly with a big-time animation director? Finding out he also chose blender for this? you providing clear instructions for this great animation?
That's awesome!
I agree, it's so cool to see more and more industry professionals like Kyle using and loving Blender! Glad you liked the tutorial!
This seriously makes me so happy. Everything in this tutorial is gold.
Your tutorials are always top tier!
This is one of those videos that when you find them, you can't help but think "I can't belive I'm watching this video for free". The amount of knowledge I've gotten from just watching your workflow really makes me want to subscribe to your patreon, and I probably will in a couple weeks.
Damn, best real Blender production video I've ever seen. In three minutes I can find you 20 videos on how to sculpt a girl with ridiculous proportions, but very few on getting real work done. Great stuff. It's also great to see Blender holding up to real production.
Thank you, Andy! That's very encouraging to hear.
the indepth explanation and complexity of workflow shows much you put effort in these videos, this is truly class
these are the most professional and high quality 3D tutorials I have ever seen, hats off Jacob
I've learnt more from this video than many many so-called tutorials over the years. Finally a breakdown of blender passes and workflow in AE, thank you so much. subscribed!
This is really, really good. Just stumbled on these and they're just so well done. Props sir!
I can't find another word to qualify your work showing on this video, it's a masterpiece .
This is WAY over my head in terms of what I know about 3D, but HOLY Sh*T , this is someone who knows their stuff. Can't imagine how long this has taken you to make. Well done! Very insightful!! :D
You make incredible contents. From your videos to printouts. All very well throughout.
This is the advanced level. Mesmerizing. 😀
What an amazing video! Really deserves much more views, great job man!
Bro I love you. Not only you are great artist... Your teaching methos are so clean and easy to follow. And you share one of the bests workflows I've ever seen. For guys like me, just starting in VFX this means alot. I'll hop to your Patreon. Thanks!
Bro your content is GOLD
I am amazed...I wonder if I would ever be able to acquire these special skills...hats off!
The only person for whose patron I'm willing to pay! Very useful infa bro, you are super cool!
Amazing!! This has inspired me to go further into making Animated things!! Thanks soo much
Wanted to say thank you for creating and sharing these videos. They are honestly on another level. There is a lot of great info in your videos that I'll be applying to my own projects.

Great work 🔥
muito legal, depois de muito procurar, finalmente um tutorial completo sobre blender e after effects
very interresant, many pro tips, thank you. what a lovely character chou chou
This is so useful, thank you. There’s a lot of good blender animation tutorials but it’s so hard to find tutorials on how to organize assets and more complex projects.
I'm glad this helped, Doda! Thanks for watching.
Now the shadow catcher works great!
Amazing Work, Thanks for Sharing...
Even tho the color picker from AE is useless, this is the first time ive seen an AE user actually trying to match blacks by value instead of that god awful amateur way of just adjusting curves by eye. Good job.
wonderful! Love it
This is not one of the best animation tutorials I've seen, it is simply the best animation tutorial. Period, it's just No. 1 in layout and production value. Amazing
Thank you, Pixxo. That's very kind of you :)
Nice work, and Animation
I don't even use blender and I loved every second of this!! Great Work man
Yo Collin! Haha thank you! Your kind words made my day :)

Great video thank you
Sure thing!
Wow 😲😲 love it.please make a full step by step tutorial on it .
I like this video
Met Kyle in Visby 2003, where he gave a great lecture.
Dude this specific Info detailed semi tutorial video targets 0.00000001 % of yt viewers
why are your subscriber so small ? the production quality is amazing and super high
chouchou is so cute.. 😍
This is soo lovable! Did you use ACES for the rendering?
I don't understand how you got a desaturated composit of chuchu as if it was shot on raw format, I mean you did some color adjustment to match it to the graded (view lut) version of the background footage. or is it that ae gives you numbers for the original video when you hover the mouse on a certain color? does it ignore the adjustement layer?
one day i want to archieve something like this LOL
Will MacBooks be enough for the specifications needed for the above work?
can u tell me plz about ur pc specifications
i also build a pc....
for blender and aftereffect
great in-depth process! thank you for sharing. Sorry if this has been answered before, but how long was each process?
Thanks! I'd say each shot took about 2-3 hours from tracking, scene setup, rendering and compositing.
Did you use to make tutorials or videos before your oldest upload? I feel like I’ve seen you years ago when I was obsessed with film riot
so now you feel better using AE than fusion for compositing?
Did you just get minions director on-board??
Hah, indeed!
Thanks for this. Revisiting it it I have a question. You mention during lighting, that you added a 360 photo that is not an HDRi for the reflections. Is this added in as an environment texture still as if it was an HDRi or was a skybox texture created somehow?
Hello there! Yes, it was added as an environment texture just like a regular HDRi.
Sir please PLZZ bring more tutorials on fussion plzzzzzzz
Can you do a tutorial on how to make Simon on blender
Why did you use after effects over something like fusion? Was it ease of knowledge and workflow, or was there a technical reason? Thanks!
Good question, Abhu! I wanted to go more into the choice but the explanation was too long for the video. But it was mostly my familiarity with After Effects over Fusion. I've also found Fusion to be a bit buggy for me and hard to create a real time preview for my comps. All things that are probably a lack of understanding on my part though. Also, given how straightforward the composits were, I didn't mind sacrificing the benefits of node-based compositing for After Effects' layer-based approach.
@@InLightVFX Makes sense, thanks for the reply!
OMG!!!! HE ist AMAZIIIIING!!! LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!! :D Thank you for share it!! ;)
Hi. I was considering signing up for patreon, only it seems that the contents are no longer being updated. You will continue with the project? I found your work amazing and I ask you continue to share. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi there and thank you for considering the Patreon. I do plan to release more tutorials but some other work/life has been distracting me from youtube. If you are subscribed you will see when the next one is out :)
hai proo
did u go to college? if yes what is the name of the college course?
I'm really enjoying your tutorials
Play envy you. I've always wanted to, and still do, do animation.
after effects and ACES pls
So lots of work with the fake AO-shadows and reflections could have been avoided if Blender had a decent Shadow catcher. I've seen they're working on a really nice one for Cycles X that works with HDRis and reflections.
Oh wow, I didn't know about this! That's very exciting and would certainly make things easier. Thanks for sharing.
what did u use to create the shot lists? thanks.
Google sheets
@@InLightVFX ok thank you very much, love your video lookibg forward😍
Where have you been :/
what's the iMac specs
It's an older discontinued model, doesn't feature an M1 it's intel based.
cool, but the compositionis better in to Fusion!!, why AE_?
i need a chouchou fluffy
Are you a professional Animator....
Can I also make VFX like you
Please make a Playlist on RUclips for VFX. Please 🥺🥺
Who just came for rigging and found the chu chu video and thought this is a rigging tut
Hi, thanks for sharing this. I want to learn Blender and I want make education contents, involving a lot of videos that contain graphics. I also want to make CGI and VFX video using Blender as a hobby. May I have your opinion please, which of the following system is suitable for me (not so high ended because I have tight budget):
A) CPU: i9 12900KF, Graphic card: RTX 3050
B) CPU: i7 12700F, Graphic card: RTX 3070
C) CPU: i7 12700F, Graphic card: RTX 3070
D) CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x, Graphic card: RTX 3060TI
E) CPU: Ryzen 5 5600x, Graphic card: RTX 3070
F) CPU: Ryzen 7 5700G, Graphic card: RTX 3060TI
G) CPU: i5 12400F, Graphic card: RTX 3060TI
I hope you can help me on this matter. Thanks.
and then a client will say " can you make me something like this with a budget of $40 "
Blender
excellent but it would have been great if you had tried to teach us instead of explaining what is really going on...
in simple words, we need tutorial lessons from you. :P
Oh he is cute❤
