@@Lyu-Phy I mean, if someone was passionate enough then one single person would be able to make the whole scene in about a year I'd say. Given that they can do modeling, texturing, animation, SFX and music of course. Congratulations to all the people who worked on this project.
As a professional from same industry often I am led away into details of technicalities, but while watching Charge I was absolutely hooked and really enjoyed it. It's not easy to put together a good action sequence edit; this was really well done. Love the Sound, Designs, Animations. For some reason this brought many memories from early 2000 good animation films. Good blend of stylization and realism in animation and visuals. This could easily pass for Love Death Robot episode; I mean it as compliment. Congratulations to Blender Studio Team and Everyone who worked on this. 👏👏👏
I agree for most part except the wide shot at 00:46 hit me like a ton of bricks. The big open dark areas off to the left and in the background made it look unfinished, and inconsistent with what has already been shown. It's still good work, and I'm sure it was a matter of time more than anything.
I don't know about anyone else, but the two hardest parts of animation for me are convincing sense of scale, and a convincing sense of weight. This short absolutely nailed both. The world feels large... the spaces, even tiny rooms, feel like spaces. And when things hit, they look like they hit and conveyed force. Great story extremely well executed and beautifully rendered.
Especially the animation was what I didn't quite like on this one. Well, I liked it in the fight scenes, but not in the slower ones. Several movements are weirdly fast for an old-man-character, for example closing the door in the beginning. But it's alright, the story carries it!
@@davidlastcentury Haha. As an old man, I'd say while I can still move fast enough, I do need a few more seconds for the joints to stop hurting. Maybe Rik should have had Ton do the movements for tracking.
Next gen wasn't done by the blender studio it was done by tangent animation (rip). At the moment they don't have the resources to make a full feature film.
y'all, he isn't saying "someone should make a full animated movie -in blender-" he's saying the blender foundation should make a full animated movie. There's a difference, its not just about using the software, its the people using it.
That Blender timeline for the edit that appears in the credits was pretty impressive. Well done guys. Thank you for all your hard work both artists and devs.
3:08 Honestly, the end credits sequence and this short film as a whole are next-level stuff. Hoping that the soundtrack to this masterpiece gets released soon...

Has to be the most heart warming thing ever. This animation shows that people will do anything to keep there loved ones alive no matter what is thrown at them, this animation captures that message perfect and made me shed a tear when I found out he was just trying to save his wife
Yes, it shows that humans will destroy everything productive to satisfy their short term needs. He won't be able to get another battery now that he fucked it all up. And what the fuck was he waiting for until that robot was down to 2%. The story is as dumb as you are.
oh my god. Thhe details here are crazy! The way the candles sway when he stuffs things in his bag, the way the arms unfold from one side of the robot spliting its shoulder in two, or the fire reflecting in the robots eyes at the end. Awesome!
@@Sahil70001when you make a new project in blender the first thing that’s made/shown is a cube. As a sort of base for everything you’re gonna make after
AWESOME, and all in EEVEE openGL renderer! KUDOS to all of you my friends! It is so immersive that I instantly WAS there, everything was so well done. That poverty, that hi-tech corp factory, and an unique style of Hjalti animation... SOOOO nice! This easily may be the prequel to WALLE. I wish you guys happy new year and a good reception by all critics all over the world. That work on a movie was hard as always, but behind the scenes - also big thank you to all, who contributed to Blender and it's development. Very convincing hairs, particles, fog, smoke, sparks, etc. Tasty ambient, touchable dirt, semi-realism, all well balanced. You all are a REAL ARTISTS! :) And imagine... all you have at start is just a simple default cube!
I just can't believe this was all made in blender... and can't imagine how much time was put into this 4 minutes movie. Can I tell you how much I was excited when the security bot transformed at 1:42!? That design is fricking cool! So beautiful, I love it!!
You guys did an astounding job!!! This is such an inspiration! 😃 This is how short films should be. No second is wasted, clear storytelling, exciting, suspenseful and with an emotional hook. Bravo!!!
This was awesome! I love the transformation at 1:43! Was totally unexpected and was definitely a stand out moment. Metroid Dread vibes for sure with that style of robot design and sense of indestructibility.
Absolutely beautiful movie. Just proves that we can have all the bells and whistles of software, motion capture, rendering, VFX, etc. but it means nothing if you can't use it to tell a damn good story. This was a damn good story.
thats whats mind boggling to me, free software, with a lightweight real-time rendering system that's constantly being upgraded and might compete with cycles in a few years, and already looks amazing.
This is absolutely the best short film I have ever watched. Not only the deep story, blender techniques are perfectly combined to create the best graphics. The story is inspirational, show how far reach the love
this is so UNREAL from Blender Eevee!! this scene 2:58 (also very realistic! i thought i was watching a real life movie) is very beautiful emotionally and visually!! the tears really i can feel the sadness from him! WELL DONE!

I still cant comprehend how incredible this is, i watched it a while back and just came across it again, from the designs to the attention to detail everything is fantastic, I love how at 1:42 the robot removs its cannon and swaps hands which exposes its core which the protagonist uses to eventually defeat it, speaking of the robot its design is so good, so futuristic and cool but weirdly menacing like in shots like 1:49 and 1:56.Its just incredible on so many levels, including stealth, action and emotion and all that comes with incredible animation. Great work
I will always be a EEVEE fan! It really boosted the speed of learning Blender with my potato PC that struggled with Cycles. And the fact that this awesome short is made with it also proves that it's a very powerful engine in the right hands! Cheers!
The topology shown in the behind the scenes is insanely clean / simple, this entire scene could probably easily run in a game engine on a mid-end machine (without particle effects ofc). Bravo!
Sometimes it amazes me how 🤔 graphics have reached to this level. When I close my 👀 and think about how those 2-d matrices of pixels have changed to this masterpiece. Kudos to makers, musicians, graphics softwares and their engineers, mathematicians and graphic lovers, gamers who have made this possible.
i think this blender movie is the best one yet! charge if continues could be a series about different peoples perspectives in this apocalypse sci fi world

It's absolutely remarkable what they've done, which is also made in evee! As a 3d artist, game developer and graphic designer myself, I can say this, this inspires me, it encourages and makes me appreciate all the work that went into this. I pray that this team and dev team behind blender gets blessed! Blender is like the Einstein in 3D software of our time! Keep it up, and i hope this doesn't stop! Thank you for this 4 minute experience! Kind Regards and Love - Keagan Collins
2:01 i thought that someone is gonna save him but love the fact that he became a self hero.sometimes we need to do it all alone even if we don't want to
Mind blowing... The level of detail is incredible. This was 'Love, Death and Robots' worthy. It's inevitable that Blender will become industry-standard.
This is by far the best short movie I've ever seen! It was so creative and entertaining. The visuals were stunning and the story was captivating. Highly recommended!
This is hands down one of the best short films I've seen. everything about this is so insanely mind blowing. the fact you can do all of this in Blender! I've my utmost respect for the creators of Blender and this animation, This was literally incredible on so many levels.
This is incredible. Sound design is awesome as well, it really sells it. Risking his own life to escape one robot in order to save the life of another. Great and simple story.
WOAUH! the music is good and inspiring, the 3d graphics are excellent, the story is better than all the great Blender projects! Just.... Wow ! I have no words to describe this masterpiece !
Everytime I watch blender open movies am left speechless. You guys are so amazing and I believe we too who use blender will improve and become better and better because of you guys. Thanks again for making blender an open source software.
I am happy that all of you motion artists are excited with production. I am crying here for the last 10 minutes as I am convinced this is his wifes' brain in that droid...
Truly masterfully created.. I was focusing more on the story than on how it was made.. Blender has truly come of age and is a true force to be reckoned with! Congratulations! (and as always, thanks for keeping it Open Source, Ton.. you're the true hero of this story!!1)
what a magnificant work ! i truly enjoyed this one especially the second half it was so emotional , such a wonderful masterpiece ! can't describe how much i appreciate this program and all the staff behind it .. thank you for your hard work , you are the best !
You don't often get a movie staring an old man in animation, much less an old man fighting convincingly. What I loved most about this film is that the main character is so obviously old. He hesitates a lot when dealing with newer tech and uses old means to get to the battery. He uses wrenches for the gate lock, spray paint for the cameras, a blowgun for the security guard, a simple car jack for the door, a pipe for the last door, and a monkey wrench to fight a security robot. When he fights, you can see that he was once a very dangerous man. He is very creative with his solutions; he blinds it with a can of spray paint, attacks the gun first since it's the biggest problem, he shoves the gun under the press to crush it, and he uses the remnants of his arm as a drill. He clearly had to fight and scavenge to survive in his youth. But now he is old. He can barely take a hit and he's barely quick enough to avoid the robot's punches, he's clearly scared and uncomfortable around all the new tech; he hesitates before he grabs the battery, has to think for a moment before grabbing the throwing the spray paint, hesitates after he checks on the battery and leaves. Even when he finishes off the robot, his final expression is of a man whose unsure he's going to make it. He's just an old man who wants more time with what's left of his wife, and that's why this speaks so much to me. An old man doing all he can with what he has to be with his beloved wife. He didn't have much, but it got the job done and that's all that mattered.
Wow, this F'd me up in the greatest way. I didn't expect that ending. The creativity in every frame is off the charts. That truly didn't need to be any shorter or any longer in length. Perfection.
Blender is creating a huge ecosystem of amazing 3D Artists, it's tremendously good see this piece of art, talents artists talking all juices from the tool, the combination of Tool Plus Artists gave birth of this amazing movie...
I love how the animation feels like it has some sturdiness and impact to it, the metal feels like metal! :D And the subtle character animation looks so nice!
The amount of heart in this story and the drive to finish entirely is all together and by itself a completed and perfect masterpiece. Thank you for all the time you put into this
Just wow, look at how brilliant this short movie , the story and creativity of this video is far more stunning than those 3d disney movies and on par with Hollywood graphics and animation
its only after you try to make one single tree in blender that you can truly appreciate the hard work and dedication in this movie. With that said, this is just A. W. E. S. O. M. E. .
And to top it all off, the final composite was put together in Blender Sequencer! Amazing work Hjalti, Andy, Rik, and the Blender Studio and Foundation! Loved seeing the sneak peak at BCON22 and now I get to watch it frame by frame.
This is the reason I keep going back to blender! I'm purely amazed at all the things it can do while still being open source! Excellent short video! I was really hooked! May God bless the Blender team!
Idk there is just such a special touch to the whole feel of the short film that he takes the folding chair and makes sure his wife is comfortable even though logically speaking there seems like there is no sense in it. 2:31
Such good animation...one the best depictions of what it would really feel like fighting a robot created to destroy anything. It just rips your arm off and you have to put your entire bodyweight into a shove just to move one of its arms. Awesome stuff!
Heartwarming ending and one of the coolest ideas for a robot I’ve ever seen. This is an absolute masterpiece, and I hope anybody who worked on this finds more work in the industry.
It's so cool knowing that the film was done entirely using free software anyone can download
Yeah and ultimately it's the user and how much time is invested that makes the end result.
@@Lyu-Phy I mean, if someone was passionate enough then one single person would be able to make the whole scene in about a year I'd say. Given that they can do modeling, texturing, animation, SFX and music of course. Congratulations to all the people who worked on this project.
Yes, no zbrush or any other expensive close source code software!
not to mention how it was done on evee also

This is by far the best short movie I've ever seen! It was so creative and entertaining. The visuals were stunning and the story was captivating. Highly recommended!
This is hands down one of the best short films I've seen. everything about this is so insanely mind blowing. the fact you can do all of this in Blender! I've my utmost respect for the creators of Blender and this animation, This was literally incredible on so many levels.
This is incredible. Sound design is awesome as well, it really sells it.
Risking his own life to escape one robot in order to save the life of another. Great and simple story.
The one he's saving it's not a robot
It has a human brain
@@serbanandrei7532 Yet Robocop isn't a...Robo?
Another story to churn our feeling in a great way, created by Blender. Wonderful.
WOAUH! the music is good and inspiring, the 3d graphics are excellent, the story is better than all the great Blender projects! Just.... Wow !
I have no words to describe this masterpiece !
Everytime I watch blender open movies am left speechless. You guys are so amazing and I believe we too who use blender will improve and become better and better because of you guys. Thanks again for making blender an open source software.
I am happy that all of you motion artists are excited with production. I am crying here for the last 10 minutes as I am convinced this is his wifes' brain in that droid...
The Blender Splash Screen: 1:21
Truly masterfully created.. I was focusing more on the story than on how it was made.. Blender has truly come of age and is a true force to be reckoned with! Congratulations! (and as always, thanks for keeping it Open Source, Ton.. you're the true hero of this story!!1)
what a magnificant work ! i truly enjoyed this one especially the second half it was so emotional , such a wonderful masterpiece ! can't describe how much i appreciate this program and all the staff behind it .. thank you for your hard work , you are the best !
HOLY CRAP
this is the best one so far
omg, production files are very useful. nice open movie. thanks all guys who worked on this project
4 Perfect minutes to tell a simple but engaging story.
Really, really nice work.
You don't often get a movie staring an old man in animation, much less an old man fighting convincingly. What I loved most about this film is that the main character is so obviously old.
He hesitates a lot when dealing with newer tech and uses old means to get to the battery. He uses wrenches for the gate lock, spray paint for the cameras, a blowgun for the security guard, a simple car jack for the door, a pipe for the last door, and a monkey wrench to fight a security robot.
When he fights, you can see that he was once a very dangerous man. He is very creative with his solutions; he blinds it with a can of spray paint, attacks the gun first since it's the biggest problem, he shoves the gun under the press to crush it, and he uses the remnants of his arm as a drill. He clearly had to fight and scavenge to survive in his youth.
But now he is old. He can barely take a hit and he's barely quick enough to avoid the robot's punches, he's clearly scared and uncomfortable around all the new tech; he hesitates before he grabs the battery, has to think for a moment before grabbing the throwing the spray paint, hesitates after he checks on the battery and leaves. Even when he finishes off the robot, his final expression is of a man whose unsure he's going to make it.
He's just an old man who wants more time with what's left of his wife, and that's why this speaks so much to me. An old man doing all he can with what he has to be with his beloved wife. He didn't have much, but it got the job done and that's all that mattered.
that timeline was insane! Inspirational! I begin my lessons today! I am sold. I NEED blender in my life!
Wow, this F'd me up in the greatest way. I didn't expect that ending. The creativity in every frame is off the charts. That truly didn't need to be any shorter or any longer in length. Perfection.
This is AWESOME! I love Sci-Fi Stuff. 👍 Great work!!
Same!
Keeps getting better and better
Blender is creating a huge ecosystem of amazing 3D Artists, it's tremendously good see this piece of art, talents artists talking all juices from the tool, the combination of Tool Plus Artists gave birth of this amazing movie...
I love how the animation feels like it has some sturdiness and impact to it, the metal feels like metal! :D And the subtle character animation looks so nice!
yeah im convinced that anything is possible with 3D animation experience
I mean
HOLY #### THIS IS AMAZING
This amazing, never felt so proud to be a Blender user!!!
AWESOME in every aspect, art direction, production, sound design, animation, it deserves an Oscar 🔥🔥
Very nice work blender studio.😁👍
The amount of heart in this story and the drive to finish entirely is all together and by itself a completed and perfect masterpiece.
Thank you for all the time you put into this
Fantastic! Perfect story arc, great emotion, amazing modeling. Well done
this ia the best render engine ever!, this looks realistic!
Just wow, look at how brilliant this short movie , the story and creativity of this video is far more stunning than those 3d disney movies and on par with Hollywood graphics and animation
its only after you try to make one single tree in blender that you can truly appreciate the hard work and dedication in this movie. With that said, this is just
A. W. E. S. O. M. E. .
it was so heart touching please make a full movie on it dont give up hope on making a movie it will attract people towards you
And to top it all off, the final composite was put together in Blender Sequencer! Amazing work Hjalti, Andy, Rik, and the Blender Studio and Foundation! Loved seeing the sneak peak at BCON22 and now I get to watch it frame by frame.
I dream of the day when awards are given to short films made in Blender, ""The Blender Awards"". 🏆
the Suzannes
This is the reason I keep going back to blender! I'm purely amazed at all the things it can do while still being open source! Excellent short video! I was really hooked! May God bless the Blender team!
there are no words to describe the beauty of this short, i am simply stating my love
Idk there is just such a special touch to the whole feel of the short film that he takes the folding chair and makes sure his wife is comfortable even though logically speaking there seems like there is no sense in it. 2:31
1:43 cool transformation. The robot remembered do work smarter, not harder;)
CHARGING COMPLETED.
Hats off to everyone who works for this great animation.
I love how the main character used his mechanical hand as a drill when the droid broke it. A sweet touch to the action!
people talking about the technique but I'm more impressed in that story...who's cutting onions up in here?
This is their best short film yet!! They just keep getting better and better. ❤️
as does blender
Wow, 🤩This is so sick 🔥🔥 can't imagine how many hours it took you guys to model and texture, and animate this masterpiece.
I watched your cyberpunk gun modeling. You're god in 3d modeling.🙌🏽
Looking at their production log, it took almost a full year with a full dedicated team of different modelers, animators, shaders, etc 😊
@@iannicart3440 Thank you so much for your support ❤
@@Gredran Wow🔥They did a fantastic job🔥
@@Gredran whole year to make only 3 minutes long movie. F too much effort goes into these animetion
you have the best animations!)
Damn every animated movie by blender increases my urge to learn All about 3D because they are all sooo gooood
Such good animation...one the best depictions of what it would really feel like fighting a robot created to destroy anything. It just rips your arm off and you have to put your entire bodyweight into a shove just to move one of its arms. Awesome stuff!
Liked the thumb movement at last. Seemed so natural
A lot to learn from this piece. ❤️ Emotional one too. ✨ Congratulations and thanks, Blender.
Wtf ...this was so realistic man
I just got love death and robots vibe
Great work blender studio ♥️♥️
Heartwarming ending and one of the coolest ideas for a robot I’ve ever seen. This is an absolute masterpiece, and I hope anybody who worked on this finds more work in the industry.
