How I made this battle scene in blender

[@FoundAndExplained]

this is the most insane thing I’ve ever seen done in blender. Absolutely wild.

it's insane how far blender has come and to be free this whole time. amazing work on your part

[@AlbinThorburn]

Thank you so much! Yeah man, I love blender and it’s crazy how they’ve managed to keep everything free. Honestly it’s one of the best things to happen to 3d artists during my lifetime

[@risingkhan935]

You are an excellent teacher! Clear and concise. You explain exactly what you're doing and why. No fluff, straight to the point. Great video!

[@Jrdn357]

Bruh. When I saw the thumbnail I thought you were just going to make a single-frame art piece of a battle, and I still thought that was impressive! This is INSANE!! I'm speechless...

[@kimmysander2447]

Kudos to Skillshare for supporting artists like yourself. Really great to see, also this is high enough quality for documentary things, incredible how you did so much within blender itself.

I know right, it's awesome! And I'm still a very small channel :D Thanks for the kind words

[@animaxx3d-animation]

So realistic feeling. The camera movement is incredibly good.

[@AlbinThorburn]

The camera shake really helps! I use auto keyframing and fly around the scene with the camera so I get real-time control. Cheers!

dude what you've achieved is so goddamn incredible, you have pushed Blender to its absolute. The final render was so good, got some Jibaro vibes from Love, Death + Robots. Incredible work, I hope to be as good as you one day. Do you have any patreon or anything where you post longer detailed tutorials?

[@fernandodossantos6619]

Love it. But just a tip, medieval knights did not have rust on their armor, or dirty clothes. They typically took a lot of pride in their appearance and especially their armor.

[@Specter_1125]

To be fair, not everyone who had armor was a knight. That being said, men-at-arms and infantrymen who owned their own equipment would normally take care of it, and soldiers issued armor were often required to look after it in order to actually get paid.

[@robin-comments]

Yes, they basically would find a nice clean spot to stand like a living statue and only walk on roads. They were also known to avoid everything that could possible make their cloths dirty on the battlefield. And when stains could not be removed, they had many spare items in the closet.

[@fernandodossantos6619]

@@robin-comments your sarcasm here makes you sound ignorant. Obviously not. But rusted armor was a big no no. And before a battle, you better believe all their equipment and clothes were in tip top shape. They weren't wearing ripped or battered clothes and garments to a battle.

[@niezlykretik]

​@@fernandodossantos6619there were probably various of scenarios.

[@birbshid]

@@robin-comments apparently they couldn't have been dirty beforehand either, because it's simply not possible that they've been in a situation prior that involved getting dirty and didn't have time to get to the nearest laundromat
