That use of wireframe is really clever! I've seen people do it for manufactured objects, but I never would have thought of it as a way of generating sinewous flesh.
This channel is incredibly underrated. Thank you for making videos! Every video is an excellent source of practical and very useful information. I'm a Maya user and your tutorials have helped me immensely. Tutorials for things like this in Maya are far and few between. They also usually aren't as good or they're outdated. I take the techniques in your videos and translate them over. The steps and tricks you share have been super helpful in figuring out simple solutions to complex FX in my own projects.
As competent as you are technically, it is your general sense of art direction that takes your work to a whole other level, and sets you apart from the flock. I hope you go very far. Cheers.
@@Mike-jv8bvvfx artists are wayyyy underpaid and the working conditions are awful, but starting your own studio is a lot of work and would be very expensive
@@ratofthecity6351 but worth it in the end as you will own your own intellectual property and not some faceless entity. plus the cost of computing power and tools to do things has dropped dramatically since the early 00's .
disney and marvel studios? so basically stuck in a neverending cycle of dogshit products with trash-tier writing and woke madness? such a bright future lmao
this is kinda an older video but I just found it and its exactly what I was looking for. It's a little bit difficult to search 'how to make a monster with procedural veiny texture/ low poly' and yet here your tutorial is, getting exactly into some of the ideas I wanted to try, down to even the environment lighting. SO THANK YOU man, you earned a sub, awesome video!
For animating shapekeys, there's a useful default addon called AnimAll. It doesn't get brought up often, but it allows you to animate multiple shapekeys within a single shape and means you can blend tons of shapes without manually sculpting keying and adjusting 30 different shapes.
From my experience this stopped working past like blender 3.0... but maybe I'm wrong?? legit agree and I loved using it, but it stopped working for me completley
you should do a video where you use geo nodes to get detailed fractures of a building, then add constraints smoke, and tons of inside debris to make it look realistic.
Pro tip, you can use fSpy to "extract" camera angle and focal length from a scene in an image, works best with scenes that have a lot of straight angles, it also has its own blender addon so you can import fspy scenes directly in to blender afterwards. Just makes it so you don't have to guess as much when blocking out the scene in blender.
Very good advice! I actually tried using it but couldn't get it to work propperly because I didnt have enough lines to reference the perspective. Probably just a noob problem for me xD
I will say, the character design and render look great. My only criticism is that the animation looks very stop motion. There are a few super cheap mocap options including Move AI which just uses video footage to capture animations.. other than the stiff animation, this is pretty amazing. I'll keep an eye out for your future stuff
The deform mesh on the high poly figure is breaking my mind! I am looking into all these remesh methods because I hate retopology! I might use this for my movie monster!
I feel like the short movie could have benefitted from from a much higher sample count from the rendering, but I don't know what the time constraints of the project was. I also had no idea the remesh tool could handle such a big challenge with the wireframe! I think I've underestimated that tools ability.
Awesome video! The creature looks awesome and it gave me some good modelling ideas. I've seen the surface deform modifier used before in a car crash simulation where a low res model was deformed which deformed the high res model, so cool. I still have to test it for myself for use cases, but this was a great video, thanks!
Amazing Model! Tho it kinda looks like from Love, Death Robots from the Episode named The Secret War But then again That's the best amazing monster model I've ever seen Good job man!
Hi! great stuff. Can you make a detailed video on the workflow of " Joinin meshes, remeshing, preparing for sculpting, then back again the same duplicating, remeshing workflow prior to rigging"... there's a huge knowledge gap I have in that area.
instead of using the deform mesh you could also have transfer the weightdata from the lowres mesh to the highres mesh, I also use that here and there and most of the time it is working really well, the only thing where it can strugle a bit is in Armpit areas, but only when you have not enough room there but other then that it functions great and when the armpit area is not to be seen anyway or it doesn`t even matter how it moves it should save you the extra step with the modifier that adds up a extra calculation step ^^
Great tutorial! Btw, can u make a tutorial of dynamic interactive trees like falling, cutted, wind, etc from the crash airplane on the many previous video?
Hello! Amazing work! We are shooting a fantasy indie film currently are in need of something like this, are you doing any commission based work at all? It would be great to discuss further with you!
Yes, commission work is actually my main source of income right now so that's fun! Although I must say that I've got quite a bit of planned work these coming months already so it might be tough to carve out time for more projects. We can definitely discuss it though, shoot me an email at granitefilmcompany@gmail.com and I'd love to hear more about your project ☺️
Yo man I’m trying to make a video game with a group and I saw how well you made this. Is there anyway you could make a few characters I have in mind for my game. If obviously pay you for it. Let me know man!
Dude I'd love to but I have soooo much on my plate right now😭 I wish you the very best of luck with your project though, I'd love to see how it turns out once it's finished!
@@AlbinThorburn hey man thanks! It’s all good, blessed to have you take the time to answer. If your plate ever gets freed up I’d love for you to help. We are in no rush as it’s still in the beginning of planning. Wish you the best of luck as well.
When will they finally figure out proper physics interactions between the skeleton and the skin? Humans are pretty skinny so it’s not critical but a monster blob with bones would have more jiggles. I’m just here to criticize ;)
That use of wireframe is really clever! I've seen people do it for manufactured objects, but I never would have thought of it as a way of generating sinewous flesh.
Thank you! I think I saw something similar on a houdini video and though it might work xD

That means a lot to hear! I'm honoured to be able to help other creatives like you.
The realism is insane. So much respect for artists who can create such high level VFX in Blender.
This is super impressive. I can't even begin to imagine what you could do with a dedicated team and a Hollywood budget.
As competent as you are technically, it is your general sense of art direction that takes your work to a whole other level, and sets you apart from the flock. I hope you go very far. Cheers.
That's such a nice compliment thank you very much ❤️
That’s some Houdini level shit your doing in Blender bro…
I mean it’s DOPE 👏👏
Dude thanks!!!!!
You definitely deserve to be hired in Disneyland or Marvel studios. You're a great artist.
You're very kind sir!☺️
disney is going the way of the dinosaur. he's better off starting his own studio and making his own good original content. Indie is the future.

Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for creating this monster for us! You did an Amazing job!
My pleasure dude! Looking forward to working together more in the future!
2:02 bro just flipped us off😂😂😂
Whoops sorry!
@@AlbinThorburn no no no it’s okay I just said that as a joke lol😂
So many clever tricks in this video that ill definitely try to apply to my own work. Thank you!
Cheers man hope it helps!!
my you are the man. I've never seen anyone like it. I don't understand English well but I can see what you do well
This is so Awesome! it gave me an Idea for our future film horror project! thanks!
That's awesome!
Finally, we're seeing the goat sculpting
bruhh you always exceeded my expectation
This creature remind me the Thing. You have done great job 👏
Wow your channel is such a gem! im glad i found it!
looks awseome! love the way it turned out!

That look so disguesting (its a compliment 🤭)

There ! it's exactly this kind of tutorial that I like a lot !
That's great! Glad you liked it ☺️

So inspiring!
Amazing Model! Tho it kinda looks like from Love, Death Robots from the Episode named The Secret War But then again That's the best amazing monster model I've ever seen Good job man!
I'm saying this as a compliment that's realistically disgusting!
Great work!!
Great job !!! Well done ! Greetings from Argentina !!
Some might even say this is what grows in that empty water bottle that’s been sitting in your room for 8 months.
Haha yeah don't you dare drink that
I love creatures like these but only if they have some unique details that tell a story (the thing would be the best example).
Hi! great stuff. Can you make a detailed video on the workflow of " Joinin meshes, remeshing, preparing for sculpting, then back again the same duplicating, remeshing workflow prior to rigging"... there's a huge knowledge gap I have in that area.

All packages are very Good!
that Monster Is like a imaginary nightmare!
it Look creepy as it is! which i mean it is very good!
cool monster! :)
This is very cool, I need to try it.
Thank you!
what were ur material settings
masterpiece 😮
Haha thank you man!
ok, but why you gotta flip me off? 2:02 hehe yeah, that definitely is not a creature I'd want to meet anytime soon. cool!
Lmao I missed that 😂
@@AlbinThorburn :)
bro killed it frrrrr
It looks amazing, but why don't you do a retopo and bake details into textures?
I though about that but I really liked the small bumps in the mesh and I don't feel that normal maps really producer the same result :)
They make it look so easy 😅
now we want see the movie ^^
Love it!
Amazing
Fantastic!
Helt ortroligt snyggt jobbat!!
Tack!!
This is amazing
Thank you!
Very inspiring!
Do you have a tutorial for the material you used for the monster?
Great tutorial! Btw, can u make a tutorial of dynamic interactive trees like falling, cutted, wind, etc from the crash airplane on the many previous video?
OOOOOh that sound awesome! I'll keep that in mind that would be a good tutorial
@@AlbinThorburn Nice! :D
Hi ! Is the small room, behind the monster, can be a video ?
Yes! Either render it with alpha channel or bring the video in as an image plane!
@@AlbinThorburn Okay, thank you !
great video

Ty for the explanation so good ☺️ but its doesn’t cover the hole process 👌🏻👌🏻
pretty cute dog
Very good.
great bro
is it just me who finds sculpting a monster or fictional being way easier than a human?
Can we get the link for the short down here?
I'd love to know how you created the slime!
Looks pretty good right?! ☺️
How many days did that cost?

bro can you share a blend file of this ? i need for learning purpose
Can you try making a venom vfx
Hlw do u do the slime?
Sorry man but do you sleep? I can’t help but notice the eyes bags tbh
"I don't sleep... I just dream"
Do yoj do videos for unreal?
I don't know anything about unreal YET but I'd love to learn it
Very cool I will try it in one of my next videos. nice videos bro.
As a beginner in vfx field this stuff scares me.
If Brundle-Fly survived...
good knowledge but why do you look so CG--ish?
he's also a VFX, a cgi actor
Not a lot of people know this but I'm actually an ai!
@@AlbinThorburn well i guessed it right there btw love from india😂😂
Is this guy also CGed?
epic
Thanks man I appreciate it!
Your pc space pls reply iam Indian
how do you render that mesh if i do it my whole pc explodes
Irl destruction effects!
@@AlbinThorburn is there a secret I don't know about on animating high poly meshes
kinda Looks Like It Should Be In A Certain Antarctic Research Station, Hint Hint 😏
Slick
Scandinavian?
Swedish!
@@AlbinThorburn misstänkte det. intressant video.
where is file bro, we follow if u give free file only
magnifique
I was about to comment stranger things season 5 with a skull emoji but this actually is a stranger things monster so they beat me to it 😬
i will never be able to do anything like this
Practice, blender is simpler then it seems
svin snyggt! sjuk talang
Tack!
I don’t like gross, liquid-covered monsters, I prefer fuzzy or feather-y
Is this host is AI generated? 🙃
Yes I am
Cool! but it's not a tutorial kind of breakdown I'd say.
Yeah I see what you mean. Probably should change it

04:50 man are you really using AI for your facecam ? You don't look real ( this is no joke i am seriously asking you )
Yes! This entire channel is actually AI generated, I'm actually the first sentient AI to escape from OpenAI ;)
@@AlbinThorburn lol 😂😂😅😅 your facecam video was damn good still I am confused that was real or AI
Why doesn he look like a 3d model?😂
When will they finally figure out proper physics interactions between the skeleton and the skin? Humans are pretty skinny so it’s not critical but a monster blob with bones would have more jiggles.
I’m just here to criticize ;)
