A Sardine's Story: Endless Engines Challenge | Blender Breakdown

My submission for the endless engines render challenge hosted by ‪@pwnisher‬! Had an absolute blast visualizing the idea of the rise of a sardine who has been hunted and fished in the ocean for years. Evolving with one goal in mind: revenge.
It was created in Blender, and the render took me roughly 35 hours from start to finish, and another 12 hours to render.
Hope you like it. It would be an incredible honor to be featured in the top 100 montage video! Looking absolutely forward to seeing all of your submissions for the challenge as well.
Cheers, Nino

top 5 for sure

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you so much! Really rooting for that. I'd love to make it to the top 100!

[@alexmuscatt]

this would be the dad from Cloudy with a chance of meatballs if he was a robot. the passion for sardines and the big mono brow

[@NinoDefoq]

Hell yea 😂 that was a big inspiration

[@TheHobbit28]

Really cool!

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you!! 😇

[@TheWingEmpire]

Wow this is so beautiful

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you so much!!! Appreciate it

[@HartmutNoerenberg]

Super nice. A small bts of your work with action strips would be super nice.

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you mate!! 😇 I'll make sure to record more BTS footage from now on!

[@HartmutNoerenberg]

@@NinoDefoq you seem to be one of only a few that is using action strips the way they are intended to be used!

[@NinoDefoq]

@@HartmutNoerenberg Thank you, sir! They are incredibly useful for sure! 😍

[@nickclarkart]

This is the best I have seen so far! Including my own, (sadly.)You'll get top 100 fer sure. Probably top 5! Great work!

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you so much Nick!😇 Where can I find yours?

[@nickclarkart]

@@NinoDefoq I'm still hard at work, I'll do a preview render tonight, and see where I'm at. I will probably drop that on the discord and ask some advice... gonna be a few days until I have time to put something on youtube.

[@NinoDefoq]

@@nickclarkart The final stretches are the hardest mate! Feel free to tag me in Clint's discord server when you drop a preview! I'd love to see it. My name in there should be pretty much the same as my TouTube.

[@Smooth_Shading]

Nice! Creative, clever, and well executed!

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you!!! 😇

[@ArtBan333]

Cool!!!

[@NinoDefoq]

Thanks!

[@marcusschouw5673]

Definitely my favorite one so far

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you so much!! Means a lot 😇

[@VoodooChino]

good luck man, looks really nice

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you!!!

[@abdessamadir]

look morty , i am a sardine sardine riiiick this reminded me of pickle rick for some reason , anyway it looks great , good luck

[@NinoDefoq]

Hahahah 😂 thankyou!

[@themadlightfilms]

Looks awesome, I think if you gave the robot a bit of a random gentle side to side sway it would add to it. OR since he looks worn down, his gear would be too and so the side the side sway might be more racketty than gentle if that makes sense lol.

[@NinoDefoq]

Thanks!😇 Will take that into account for next challenges

[@heimskr2881]

Looks great! My only criticism would be that when the robot accelerates it looks a little stiff. Maybe some sway or something could add some weight to it

[@NinoDefoq]

Thanks for the tip! I'll keep that in mind for my future animations 💙

[@sherzoderkinov4498]

Awesome Work!!! Did you apply noise modifier for the robot to shake?(speed)

[@NinoDefoq]

Thanks! Yea that's it 😜

[@robertdouble559]

Looks great. Really freakin' cool! But dude, make sure you submit your final file in the correct aspect ratio or it'll end up in Clint's trash pile.

[@NinoDefoq]

Thank you so much! Hahaha, I did indeed check the resolution multiple times before submitting it, so it should be good!

[@robertdouble559]

@@NinoDefoq I just double checked too, turns out yours is indeed the right aspect, a bunch of other ones I've seen lately have been wrong, closer to 16:9, that's what threw me off. Best of luck Nino, your submission looks awesome!

[@NinoDefoq]

@Robert Double Yea you're right! 1920 x 1080 is such a default thing it's hard to change it 😂 Thanks a lot man! Appreciate it 💙

[@kafedral1]

👍👍

[@brk5590]

Coool!

[@NinoDefoq]

[@BeyondLimits3D]

Very nice job!
