I ABSOLUTELY love how you reference different tutorials and programs for each step. It makes it all the more enjoyable to watch
who is the car rig tutorial guy?
I like how you explain with emphasis on the concepts/methods rather than the specific tools. I've never used After Effects, but could quickly figure out how to do the stuff you did there in Blender since you explained it at a higher-level than most tutorials.
Dude, after YEARS and countless hours searching RUclips, watching RUclips vids etc... Finally someone who does a crystal clear and simple explanation of a VFX Blender tut. You got a sub from me. Thanks for making this. I'm looking forward to seeing more. One of the best and concise explanations I've seen on RUclips. Like others have said, after the first 30 sec I, paused, subbed and commented. Thanks.... now, back to the video.
This is the video I have always been looking for. Clear explanations, gets to the point, and references other videos to learn more about the techniques. I also appreciate the humor, 100% subscribing.
Thanks, I'm glad you like it! I try to make the guides concise and avoid getting too in-depth on subjects other people have already made helpful videos about.
The best explanation I ever heard about the complete VFX cycle. Short and sweet! Keep up the good work.
The best video I ever watched, not only because it explains something but because of the way how fun it is
You are a boss when it comes to creating VFX and explaining them! I've seen the first 20 seconds of your vídeo and inmediatly subscribed! Good job!
BLENDER CAR VFX
Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoy the videos! I hope to make many more this year!
YO A TI TE SIGO
que haces aca ?
@@elfen_lied x2 que hace acá ?
3:32 wtf did you just bring upon this cursed land
i've spent years on yt looking for vfx vids... this is the best one I have ever seen
Wow, really nice. Tons of goodies to unpack too... didn’t know about the 3d environment extract from video.
Thanks a lot for sharing these tricks.
This is my dream scene where the car will be a Rolls Royce.
I will learn blender, model it and make this scene. Thanks man for this exactly matches my vision.🤘💗
:)
I'm glad the video will be helpful to you! I'd love to see anything you make!
@@ClassyDogStudios sure already subscribed you , it will take me time but one day I'll do it. Keep uploading such tutorials. 💗🤘
Solid vid and the VFX is mindblowingly convincing ! Great work my man !!
Wow this is epic. Keep it up, you are inspiring lots of potential vfx artists
Amazing homie! I've always wanted to learn how to do this since starting my VFX journey a few years ago! A few things I'd add tho is suspension physics on the car, (subtle), surface imperfections, specular in-camera effects in regards to the metallic car materials according to the angle of the sun, slight motion blur (very subtle), and i think last but not least exhaust fumes from the car (its probably subtle for this kinda car, idk lmao im not a car guy) but nontheless amazing my guy i still needa learn how to master this process but as time goes by I'll try to improve my renders to include all of the above! Cheers dude, keep doing what ur doing!
Great job! Ian Hubert's video got me re-interested in stuff like this and yours make it seem even easier than that! I'll definitely have to give it a shot now that school's done.
Yes, it can be a lot of fun! I'd love to see anything you make.
This 7 minute video gave me more info than 3 hours of most blender tutorials.
You make it sound so easy, but we know it's not lot .. that's some neat work you did there
Great job. Thanks for showing your very helpful workflow and happy blending with Blender 3d
Thank you, I'm glad you found it useful!
"Go on....show ur ex girlfriend she made the wrong decision..." - Can I make a CGI ex girlfriend 1st??? 🙄🙄🙄
Of course, that's how I made mine!
@@ClassyDogStudios Legends has it, so did CGmatter
@@ClassyDogStudios It’s a good idea to mix 2 renders with two hdr i)))
Perfect bro, only a question, why Blender 2.79?
Oh, the main reason is because I didn't know how to set up my render passes in the newer versions of Blender, since I was used to having groups and layers instead of just collections! And there were so many shots to create for that video, I decided to stick with the version I was comfortable with. Though I want to start using the new versions of Blender for videos soon, especially with all the new features being added.
Classy Dog Studios check out the 2 latest tutorials from the channel ‘Jacob J Holiday’ for great tutorials on render passes. Great work!
Thank you, I just saw he uploaded those! I'll have to check them out :)
@@ClassyDogStudios yes i also Thinking about render passes in blender 2.80.....😅😅
@@DanceManAlex just this day i found that channel :D really great😁😅👍
„There you go, that’s all it takes ...“ 😩 good Job
“I’m not paid to say that but I wish I was cause I’m fucking broke” instant like on the video for that haha
Haha, thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and CGI result!
I did not know about that map resolution settings. Now its my default too!
Thank you, I'm glad that tip was useful to you!
I loved the tone and content of this video. You earned a subscriber, good sir
Thanks so much, I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
That looks amazing! Thank you for sharing with us!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!
This is really good! Thank you for making this!
thank you for taking the time to put this video together, I have a bunch of fellow filmmakers who're curious about implementing vfx into their ideas and this video covers alot in a short amount of time! also fantastic references to some familiar content creators ;]
That's really cool! Traditional filmmaking skills are something I want to improve at a lot this year, so hopefully my videos will get better. And I'm glad this one will be useful to you and your friends!
@@ClassyDogStudios for sure. and sometimes it is the reverse where practicality can produce better results than vfx, but good filmmakers know when to use which when executing an idea. check out Danny Donahue and Ponysmasher!
I'm actually subscribed to Danny Donahue on my other channel, haha! I've seen a few of his horror videos and some BTS. But I don't think I've heard of Ponysmasher, I'll look him up!
@@ClassyDogStudios Look up 'Lights Out' short film. David Sandberg went on to direct Shazam ;]
Oh wow, I didn't know that! I remember seeing that short now, I didn't realize that was his name. Good for him!
Me: *Watches video and loves video.*
Also me: *Immediately subscribes and wants more*
Classy Dog Studios: *Hasn't uploaded in 2 years* 😫
this is actual "to the point" video with good education sources. 1 sub+!
Thank you, I tried to keep the video from getting boring!
Great vid man!! You've earned your self a sub 👍🏽
Great video! Tracking is one subject I haven’t touched much. I like how you linked in other videos. Also I didn’t know you can use AE for tracking, very cool
Yes, it can be quite daunting when you haven't had much experience with it! But if you can practice and find tricks that make it less frustrating/tedious, it really opens up your options for the types of shots you can pull off. I'm glad you found the video useful!
You should've taken an HDRI from your set.
Maybe later this year I'll practice some more with making my own HDRIs!
@@ClassyDogStudios, oh, it's lots of fun getting the EV bracketing, and then trying to find a free HDRI stitcher so you don't have to pay $140 for PTGui. I'm not gonna do it unless I actually am working and needing to have site specific HDRIs... then again, Jacob Holiday may have a sock covered iPhone mic, but he does have a means to capture his scenes with a 360 capture device!
Haha, yes, it is quite a bit of work to do it like that! I decided to just shoot with chrome balls when I do make my own, so I can avoid stitching images. I made a video on how to do that on my other channel. But yes, I'd rather just get one of those fancy 360 cameras and try it with that sometime. It looks so much simpler!
You should.... thats a huge undertaking. BUt I guess you can ould try to make a quick 360 using your phone. BUt creating proper 360 is not that simple, plus you need tons of gear
@@RomboutVersluijs, there's a guy...Am I missing something? ruclips.net/video/etOkgjrTfa8/видео.html He's REALLY good at the stuff he does, imo. Well, his group of computers he has access to, I'm jealous of, too.
2 and a half years later still a banger
I wish I could do stuff like this. Looks like such a fun hobby.
The fastest I have subscribed on any channel.. Great explanation! Thank you..
This was a great video and nice humor
I've been trying to figure out blender for awhile (only know simple element 3d stuff). This is by far one of the most helpful and easy to understand tutorials I have found. Thank You!
I'm very glad you found the video helpful! I tried to make it as simple as possible. Do you tend to use After Effects in your work, then? Since you mentioned Element 3D.
@@ClassyDogStudios Yes! I live in After Effects lol Im trying to learn more 3D work since I get asked all the time and for environments. I have a very ambitious scene of an explosion making people/zombies fly backwards in the air. I assume I could use ragdolls but I dont know much after that. Any tips would be appreciated!
That sounds cool! I would recommend looking at animations on Mixamo, their software is free to use and it can also automatically rig your models. I've been trying it out with Blender for my next short film, and it seems pretty easy to use after watching a few videos. It may be what I make my next "BTS" video on this channel about.
@@ClassyDogStudios I saw a few examples using mixamo, I'll look into that! Thanks, excited to see your short film!
Jan van den Hemel has been making some tips lately that might be useful to you. They were posted May 12-16th. Here's a link to his page: twitter.com/JanvandenHemel
you got a new sub love this video
Thanks, Patrick! I appreciate that!
me too
Your video is absolutely amazing. THANKS A LOT !
Thank you! I hope it was helpful!
thx man!! and specially this is blender 2.79 soo great!! i use 2.79 too!
Subscribed. Excellent tutorial.
I was always trying to blur and pixelate rendered footage to match the footage. Never thought it might be as easy as scaling up render. Also great content! Give us another one
Thank you! It's great to be able to save some time when rendering in Cycles, too! I hope to have another video out before long, working on it now.
dang, that hairball caught me by surprise
Me too!
amazing video!
Love it - nice work! The point at the end about it changed shadow needs via different hdris is quite clever and a good trick.
Thank you, Patrick! It might be a bit of a lazy solution, but I figured the time spent trying to come up with something better would exceed just changing out the HDRI and rendering again!
@@ClassyDogStudios Sometimes, a lazy solution = just not overthinking it and avoiding unnecessary time and effort. Much easier to place and play with a mask to make it feel right, rather than try to sort out messy shadow and light setting and have to do many re-renders to get it to feel right. So totally in line with your last statement!
Yes, you're right! And it was fun to come up with a solution I hadn't learned from someone else.
@@ClassyDogStudios That's a great trick! And if it works, it's not lazy. It's efficient. :)
Haha, you're right! Thank you, Vidar!
This is pretty high tier!
Thank you, I'm glad you think so! You are doing good with your own videos too; if you enjoy it and keep making them, I know you'll make better stuff than I do one day!
youre tracking is insanely accurate
Amazing bro
Awesome dude, thanks
You're welcome! I'm glad you liked it!
Awesome!!!
Brilliant!
Fantastic video!!
Thank you, I'm delighted you enjoyed it!
nice vid. loved jokes and the hdr transition trick.
Thank you, I'm really glad you enjoyed it! I try to make the videos enjoyable to watch as well as helpful. I hate long and boring tutorials with a passion!
Great job bro
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it!
dude, you are bound to be a great youtube star content creator
Thank you, that means a lot! I hope to make a lot more videos this year.
We need more surface imperfections! :) Car is so clean so it not look like a real car)
You deserve much more followers pal 😉
Thank you! I'm really surprised at the jump in views and subscribers on this channel, I didn't expect that! This little BTS has more views than the actual video, haha!
Amazing video!
Thank you, Louis! :)
Thos had some good tips, and suggested a few videos I want to check out!
Thank you, I'm glad you found it helpful!
Simple. Funny. Informative 👍👌
Cool !))very good
Looks awesome! Have a good day :)
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed it! You have a good day as well!
That looks pretty good !
PS you did quite some heavy modeling on the interior of that garage. Isnt that a bit to much or was it used for different shots or so?
Thank you! And I actually got the garage from Blendswap, you can find a link to it in the description of the other video! It was by the user Papa Dragon, I believe.
@@ClassyDogStudios Ahh okay, that will help making a nice interior indeed
Good tutorial my guy
You sir are a legend
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Great video!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
something is really vroken with the RUclips recently. I subbed you, got the 'bell' on.. and found this video by accident 3 months after it was released.. wth? :/
Anyway.. great and super fun to watch video :).. as always .. now need to dig through your channel 'manually' to find out what else did I miss :)
Cheers
the tires needed some dirt here and there but still it's an excellent vfx
Awesome work!!
Thank you, Stephen! I hope to do more videos soon.
Classy Dog Studios. I hope so.
I am working on a mini rouge one movie clip. Big scene, trying to render the complete scene plus characters is causing issues.
I ran across your video looking for a way to slip up elements in my scene to help render and free up resources of my system.
Thank you for your post. Very straightforward. Love it.
That's awesome, it sounds like quite a big project! I hope to see it when it's ready.
Funny and skilled. Nice!
Thank you!
Classy Dog Studios don't thank me too early. Just started with blender. I'm gonna bother with questions a lot 😝😝
Earlier this week i also saw someone posting about the shadow catching and it showing reflections. But why use a material? You can simple use a materials object? I tested it and it works just fine. Some other render engines also prefer a shadow catcher not to have a material, its simpler and not bounce light issues
Oh its that easy! I'm so humbled!
KEEP UP THE WORK BRO. U GOT A STUDENT LOL
Awesome, you deserve more subs!
Thank you! I plan to put out a lot more cool videos this year, hopefully you'll enjoy them!
Aye! Subbed and look forward to see more.
So cool 😂
Underrated channel, please do more cgi videos like this
Thanks! I'm working on the next video now, hopefully it will be entertaining.
*demon summoning* 😂
sehr sehr gut! (also the thing with the "ex girlfriend" :-) )
For a moment after seeing the thumbnail, I thought the small GTA V car was real.
You just made 60h of work look like something you can do on a weekend lol
It looks 95% realistic.
Just found your channel instant sub
Thanks so much, I really appreciate it! :)
Can u do a detailed video for beginners on dis. No matter hw long d series go will follow.nd mni odas. Wish u d best . Already subscribed
For CG objects that will be partially obscured by the original footage, will you have to mask it out frame by frame in compositing or is it possible to set up certain "objects" in blender that will not render the main CG object when it passes through that "object"?
Great
Lol that is a panto ripped from gta5 converted to a mini monster truck cool!
that was a good intro for the workflow... however theory from practice is something very very different. Looks easy but it isn't at all for us who we are beginners. We would appreciate a tutorial :)
Your great
Wow
Perfect
You mist have 10million
Great content.... New subscriber here...😀😀
Thankyou i relly need this, and i found usefull cannel again😀😀 suscribe🔥
Thank you so much, I'm glad you enjoy the videos!
Want to know something... Is there an option to lock the grab direction other than xyz? For example, in rhino , there an option to lock the direction that the cursor is moving.. Just move in a direction .. press tab key.. then the movement is locked to that specific direction and we can type the measurement or snap it to anywhere... Something like that in blender?
Oh, that sounds handy. You know, I've never come across that ability in Blender. Perhaps someone with experience using Blender as more of a CAD program would know more than me, as I think there are some plug-ins for it out there that focus more on that type of work.
The only problem here: The shadow catcher does not account for indirect lighting, emission or anything like that. It outputs a greyscale shadow (which shadows aren't) and also doesn't account for reflection. Blender needs a huge shadow catcher overhaul.
As an alternative, you could try rendering the ground plane with a light gray albedo, then use a blending mode such as multiply when compositing with it. You'll probably want to add a levels adjustment to it to better control the result. I used this method with another "GTA IRL" video I made years ago, and it worked fairly well.
Where did you get the panto model? Is that a GTA 5 asset?
great work !...
please ... Could you do a full tutorial explanation step by step?
I would be very grateful and thankful to you
Hi, can you please tell or make a tutorial on how to make an environment's exact 3D model representation like you've made here at 2:05..? Thank you.
I still haven’t had any luck with AE2blend, how did you get such a good result??
Do you reckon you could do a tutorial on it at some point?
I may make a video on it if enough people are interested! By the way, have you seen this video from Grant Wilk? This is what I looked up to be sure I was using it correctly: ruclips.net/video/el_n1UfPL_M/видео.html
@@ClassyDogStudios Thanks! I'll be sure to check out the tutorial
I'd definitely be interested
Hai bro.. i wanna ask something, When I export the obj sequence file, why is the process taking too long, sometimes it takes hours, and the total size of the obj file is 2 GB more (even then the export process has not been completed).. how to fix it?? thanks before
2:54 😂😂😂😂😂😂 you humor 10/10 subbed
Thank you, Bob! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
