Great work, I love this series! Two little things in animation threw me off - the fact that tank tracks are sliding on the ground and how sharply the ship changed movement.
If it were not for the tank tracks sliding over the ground, I honestly couldn't tell immediatly wether this is cgi or actual practical effects from the 80's. I love it!
The CGI looks great. I saw in one of corridor digitals videos where they had a professional compositor use Nuke to post-process the renders of Star Wars scenes they recreated with CGI. I reckon some equivalent post-processing on your eight shots is what would have made them indistinguishable from the originals.
until you said the soldier was a model, I thought that you had included a real person. I bet Cameron wishes Blender had been around back then! Incredible work. Now all I have to do is sell two kidneys and a lung to afford two 30 series graphics cards lol
Can you imagine if someone from 1984 could see this? I mean back in the day it probably took them like a few months to create this opening sequence. And everything was practical effects. If you told someone from the production team that you can recreate this entire scene in a week digitally they'd probably think you're crazy. And it's actually really crazy how far technology has gone.
Thank you. Decimate is great. If you want to keep quad topology you might get better results by switching to the unsubdivide mode in the modifier settings.
Nicely done 👍 If you revisit I would suggest adding a bit of film grain to all the shots. For the tank in the background I would have used a slight noise on the rotation rather than position. The only jarring bit was the tank treads not moving at the correct speed. ...and the linear movement on the jet (which also looked bad in the original)
Amazing work as always, going to have to re-watch T1 now. I love that you noticed the helicopter animation was wonky but kept it as a homage. A real tribute
Wow …awesome work dude would be good if you could re-create the eye scene to make it look more realistic and updated. That would be an interesting project
Aaaand here I am trying to making animations in Blender on a MacBook Pro M1. It works, but omg this blows everything I've ever done out of the water! Those two 3090s are really working well it seems! Well done!!!
I REALLY love this concept and I'm totally stealing it. I've always wanted to make a short film and have several ideas floating around but it can be hard to get started. Recreating shots or small scenes from the big boys of the past is totally doable and a great stepping stone to working on my own production. I've always wanted to recreate and at least render in HD all of the CGI shots from Babylon 5 because they are so low res on the dvd's.
At 13:30, it wouldn't just be bobbing up and down linearly, it'll be more slightly shifting back and forward and side to side, as it has to climb over everything as it goes. Bear in mind how suspension systems and the sheer weight of the machine crushing softer obstacles would factor in, too. Having it go straight forward actually would've been more realistic, as i wouldn't expect much to stand in its way and it's more believable than it bobbing up and down on the spot. Can just take a look at videos of modern tanks and IFV's in real life, how they move over the terrain. You could almost animate it like a boat and it'd be in the ballpark.
Said this before , but this really shows its not about practical vs cgi but far more about shot selection and composition and design. Could you do a version where you apply some film emulation ? Dirty it up a bit?
Absolutely blown away by this - as I generally am with your content - but these last two videos you’re really elevating yourself to a whole new level. Already watched this through twice all the way as there are literally dozens of excellent tips & tricks throughout👏👏👏 I’ve seen a few other comments referring to the skating tracks issue - & I’m also wondering, of all the things you’ve achieved so brilliantly in this video, that actually seems like quite an easy fix, even if it was just eyeballing the key frames to set the speed (rather than any unnecessarily clever physics simulation); was it basically just a question of rendering it out & then just deciding you had too much else to do to go back & re-render? What was your thought process on why you left that shot as it was..? Absolutely NOT a criticism of any kind - I think your work - & your channel - is incredible, just interested in your perspective on that..? Amazing as always.
Thank you. I made the track animation without the floor in place. My main concern was to get the track speed aligned with the rotation of the wheels. Floor slipping wasn't something that even occurred to me since there was no floor at the time. By the time the floor was in place my viewport performance was terrible (I later discovered that I'd accidentally added a triangulate modifier to my track mesh, which reduced playback speed to 5 fps). It's very hard to spot animation errors when you're viewing one frame at a time. So I didn't even know the tracks were slipping until I put the whole project together in After Effects. By this point I was right up to the deadline and I had several far more pressing issues to fix. For a start, the framerate of some shots was completely wrong, so the whole video was misaligned with the original audio track. I lost half a day re-rendering those shots which killed any chance of having enough time to fix the wheels.
@@DECODEDVFX thanks for the thorough reply. I did wonder if it might have had something to do with playback issues - I completely agree, it’s often very difficult to tell what’s going on if the processor can’t keep up. Stellar work as always though mate. Love it.
This was fun, really cool stuff and you can learn some tricks for making your own cinematic recreations. I will now really squeeze out some nit picks. The tracks turn too slow, the explosion of the soldier the smoke only renders as black, the lights on the ship need more falloff, would work better is the tank rotated than up and down, adding depth of field to the camera would have given it more reality. It's really great.
Hello! I´m impressed by your workflow optimisation skills. Really. For the future though, there is a better way to cycle an action in NLA than copy-/pasting ( 4:35 ). Go 'N' tab -> STRIP panel -> open "actionClip". This is where you can set the cycling count and even adjust the action speed. Nevertheless, in one week. Nice.👍
very good animation, only 2 criticisms, at 0:23, the ship makes a very abrupt movement, perhaps making a smoother transition in that part would look better, and the other criticism, at 0:28, the speed of the tracks ( wheels) does not match the speed at which the tank is approaching, it is like "skating"
Since these are all night shots you could have used a volume shader on the world for the overall fog and still been able to put other smoke sims and/or volume objects in and not run into issues with overlapped fluid domains.
Looks really great, but the shot with the tracks from the tank looked quite odd to me. I think the tracks are moving to slow for the speed of movement. Im already am curious about your next project :-)
As someone who has been kind of obsessed by the laser effects in the Cameron Future War scenes. I am always surprised with how simple they really are. I guess a lot is down to the sounds. They just punch so hard. :D
Meanwhile, the creator of the original scene: Wow, how many buttons did this guy press to repeat. I just forgot to turn off the camera in the room where my child was playing with toys.
awesome! I did the same thing about a month ago but took my own spin on it! I actually think mine looks better. but then again, I took two weeks to make one shot haha.
I totally want to do that at some point. there's a very similar sequence to this shot in the second movie with t800s fighting soldiers on the ground. I didn't have time to do that shot this time, but hopefully I will at some point.
Great video. Did you share this on your Patreon like you did the Jurassic Park blend file? If not, could you share. Thank you in advance and keep up the great work, it really helps.
you really really should spend some more time polishing this sequence. The lighting is spot on, and if I had some more free time I would offer myself to model stuff, but after so many hours working in 3D... the last thing I want is more 3D!
Looks pretty good, but the animation is still lacking. Tank threads are slipping, the hover jet jumps in speed suddenly, but overall, great modeling,light and texturing
Real talk, CGI "throwtogether" scenes like this do not look any worse than the 80's SFX counterparts, and, as a matter of fact, this is actually on par with some early 90s sfx to be fair. And you did the whole thing in a week. By yourself. NO team. Granted, some pre-fabbed models were used, but even BIG studios do that, so that's totally acceptable. All in all, it comes down to how good is your workflow, and how good is your workstation, and how well do you know the limitations of your software. You check all those boxes, followed your reference, end result good. If you had just ONE MORE WEEK, it would likely be on par with modern cinematics.
I think you should focus on your materials more. Even if you have epic lighting. materials are what ground a scene/animation in reality. I know you have limited time to focus on this but most of the objects look like a they have minimal to no roughness breakup and more or less just have a principled shader applied with no textures. Not trying to hate just trying to help:) looks great tho!
That's probably down to the aggressive denoising. It tends to sap roughness details out of every mesh, especially when you have a lot of volumetrics in the scene.
I gonna try to this but different approach I was wondering how to make the scene where sara conor is blasted by nuclear explosion in terminator 2 how to make skin burn and fell off like paper. then is blasted only the bones remaind
Love what you are doing with these scene recreations. Computers and awesome programs are letting nerdy old dudes (and some girls maybe?) to live out fantasies of being in charge of big movies...or even to kinda build their own simulation and get INSIDE them. Oddly, in your behind the scenes parts of your video where you show how you rigged the tank the track appears to move correctly. But in your rendered close up it is obviously skating over the skull terrain. Does Traffiq not have a rigging doodad that makes wheels roll on the ground AND displace with terrain? I get that you limited your time (although why you did is unclear to me) but it seems you could have just taken about 25% longer and some bits would have looked even more awesome. I know you may wanna move on but I would love to see a Ver. 2.0 of the sequence. More samples higher numbers of passes, fix the odd aircraft flying jumpy bit, more smoke, some flares and further filters, some depth-of-field emphasizing foreground blurry bits and smoke layers, more film-grainy and contrasty colour grading, more smoke, and maybe more volumetric fog detail (plus smoke!). I think you could end up with a little effort with a sequence that is convincingly BETTER than some of the janky original shots (from the movie not your own video). I think many of us would also love to see the comparison thing too. How much could you improve it if you gave yourself another 30% time budget and the knowledge you have now after a couple of these videos recreations. Recreate your OWN thing...but let us see how it can be upgraded. The beauty of these projects to me is, unlike with an ACTUAL film shoot (something I have personally been on for over 30 yrs now) you can keep ALL the bits on your hard drive and just keep making versions with all the acquired assets. Actors and big studio spaces all just tucked into your magic dual 3090 box. Please keep up these great projects they are very inspiring to newbies to the Blender world like me.
Thank you. Sponsored videos have a deadline, and I also set a personal deadline on videos otherwise I'd never post them. I could've done a lot with an extra day or two but this video was up to the wire as it was. Time to move on. As they say, perfect is the enemy of good.
I loved this recreation. You could tell you were on a tight time budget, but it still got most of the spirit of the original. The only quibble I had was with the part at 16:40 or so where you made the tank bounce as if going over rough terrain. When I watched this sequence, it looked to me more like the tank was taking a stroll and the bounce was more like footfalls. Maybe if you could have turned down the amplitude of the bounce, it would have been more in line with your intent to me. Maybe I focused on that too much, but it broke the immersion as soon as I saw it. (if you ever look at real tank footage, the suspension of these things makes tanks traveling over rough terrain look more like they're floating than bouncing roughly, case in point: ruclips.net/video/31kaGFETQv8/видео.html at 8:15). Other than that minor constructive criticism, I thought it did the original a good bit of justice. Bravo!
Ok, wow, looking at original footage at around 1:36 of your video, the model Cameron used looked like a toy driving over a bed of gravel, even more janky than yours. I now retract the previous post. You nailed it! :-)
outstanding, my favorite move (T2 anyway). How do you set the extrapolation to cyclic? what view do you set that in? ruclips.net/video/Rk3ETKsIdSc/видео.html thank you
Just hover over the timeline and press shift+E. Linear extrapolation will continue the action of the last set of keyframes on the timeline. So if you have a 30 degree rotation over 100 frames it will continue to rotate in the same direction at that speed forever.
@@DECODEDVFX Why not? Was this also a project for a client, and not just content for the channel? Surely you can take as long as you need? Sorry if I misunderstood.
First Jurassic park now this!! OMG you are great!!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Great work, I love this series! Two little things in animation threw me off - the fact that tank tracks are sliding on the ground and how sharply the ship changed movement.
I love this series of recreating moviescenes. Can't wait to see which one you come up with next!
Thanks. I really enjoy these.
Could we challenge you to try an npr one? Maybe something from Ghibli?...(we have that new line art modifier)
This is amazing! I thought the car, background and the person running where video added to the CGI robot but it's all CGI. Wow! Stunning work!
Wow, thanks!
If it were not for the tank tracks sliding over the ground, I honestly couldn't tell immediatly wether this is cgi or actual practical effects from the 80's. I love it!
Man you’re work is incredible and I learn a lot from these videos

Thankfully it wasn't as the original result is much better.
When it's running it looks alright but when he falls over you can really tell it's a model.
Can you imagine if someone from 1984 could see this? I mean back in the day it probably took them like a few months to create this opening sequence. And everything was practical effects.

Thanks!
GREAT work!
Dude I was just thinking about this scene recently. You did a great job. Love it!!!
The "kiss of death" from the 2014 godzilla movie would be really interesting to see.
That is superb. I wish to make this opening scene and hopefully i will recreate it sometime in future. Keep up the good work. 👍👍👍
What I would've done to improve on this and make it look even more like an 80's movie is add some film grain to the image.
Awesome re-creation! When I first watched it I thought it was the original movie lol.
Another killer video
Thanks
Great work 👍
This is cool. Probably a good way to learn vfx, especially when you make your deadline so short.

Excellent!
I got to start playing with blender again looks great
really fun to see how you build these different scenes :)
Amazing work as always, going to have to re-watch T1 now. I love that you noticed the helicopter animation was wonky but kept it as a homage. A real tribute

I have a question, how long should rendering a clip like this one you made take?
That depends on your computer. My current system took between 10-50 seconds per frame. On my old computer it would have been double that time.
How do you use the mist pass? Do you use that in a compositor, at the end of this video he describes his mist pass.
Yes, it's used in compositing. It lets you mix two images together with depth information - so I could add some fake fog in the background.

This was made over about 4-5 days. I'm not sure exactly how many hours I spent on it.
I can't belive Temple of Doom only had a $28.00 budget. I'da said at least $100.00.
I just realized you forgot to add the second Aerial HK in the first scene.
I didn't forget, I just decided to leave it out. I think you're the first person to mention it though.
Any chance you'd be willing to license that Blend file?

outstanding, my favorite move (T2 anyway). How do you set the extrapolation to cyclic? what view do you set that in? ruclips.net/video/Rk3ETKsIdSc/видео.html thank you
Just hover over the timeline and press shift+E. Linear extrapolation will continue the action of the last set of keyframes on the timeline. So if you have a 30 degree rotation over 100 frames it will continue to rotate in the same direction at that speed forever.

Yes, I know. I didn't have time to re-render it.
@@DECODEDVFX Why not? Was this also a project for a client, and not just content for the channel? Surely you can take as long as you need? Sorry if I misunderstood.
@@BeheadedKamikaze sponsored videos have deadlines. And I set my own personal deadlines on my videos otherwise they'd never get finished.
@@DECODEDVFX I didn't know about the sponsorship having deadlines - thanks for explaining! And amazing job within the time.
It is obvious without rendering, why didn't you fix it?
