ALIEN - This Gave Me NIGHTMARES so I Made MORE In Mostly Free Software

Great work! Glad to see you're back

[@KevBinge]

Thanks Dan, me too lol!!

[@PIXXO3D]

Great work Kev... You gotta love Sub-Div modelling. Nothing wrong with sculpting and re-top, but there is definitely something zen about extruding faces and moving topology.

[@KevBinge]

Thanks!! You’re right, there’s something great about going old school! I get a good block that way too and a good understanding of the topology early on.

[@fyona2000]

Yay! Another great video. The soundtrack really adds to the ambience of the tutorial. I've persevered with geometry nodes and shape keys, wow, it's a whole new world! Thank you!

[@KevBinge]

Awesome Fyona! I actually wrote the music lol! I’m happy that the geo nodes stuff is helping. I have more coming!!

[@GabrielsLogic]

That dust and camera shake really is the cherry on top! Really grounds the scene in reality. Great work once again ❤️

[@KevBinge]

Thank you! I glitched it a bit and glad it holds up lol!

[@felfurion8624]

You had me at Alien - - the whole process was interesting. Even to see what you decided not to do (as in the corners you 'cut' because you didn't need to). The Kane/leather reference is the tell that you are a fan.

[@KevBinge]

Thank you so much! I do love these films and the world they are set in.

[@Erindale]

Great stuff! Always so cool to see your workflow!

[@KevBinge]

Thanks Erin! This is admittedly a more sloppy workflow than I’d use at work or with a team, but being that it’s just me, I can chill and be lazy with lots of things Hahahaha!

[@gvuprise1465]

GOOD JOB PLEASE KEEP POSTING MORE VIDEOS. SO COOL

[@KevBinge]

Thank you! Will do.

[@MrCleetSR388]

I following two of your vids and plan to mash together a metroid flying face hugger lol. Can call my crazy but think that would be be freaking flying face huggers that could turn you dust or hatch more of their brood out of victims lol. I got my egg done looks great. I like your style of how you do your vids tons of information so quickly thank you! I never knew how much I would actually enjoy creating this epicness!

[@KevBinge]

That’s awesome Patrick! Mashing up the species would be awesome. Now that Disney owns the Xeno it’s anyone’s guess where it will go. I’m glad you’re learning and psyched about it. You’ll do awesome things!

[@Markom3D]

Nice mate. I highly recommend buying the masterclass. I have already watched so many of them including James Cameron.

[@KevBinge]

That’s awesome to hear! I should be picking it up this weekend. Thanks!!

[@DeadSetDigital]

Really good video mate, well done

[@KevBinge]

Thanks man! Love your channel too. Funny stuff! Anyone reading this needs to go there now and check it out.

[@Fleischkopf]

4:00 you can also merge two objects with the "F" key. it creates a new face then. maybe a little faster than merging

[@KevBinge]

Sweet! Thanks!!

Really cool video. Impressed!

[@KevBinge]

Thanks Mats!

[@domin6168]

Welcome back kev ;D

[@KevBinge]

Thanks Dominik!!!

[@azynkron]

The eggs are actually a bit translucent. You can see it in the first movie in particular when the hugger is moving around inside it.

[@KevBinge]

You’re right, I’d have loved to do that but rendering and time constraints... translucency needs real subsurface scattering and that takes real render time. These things are best done physically up close anyway. Thanks!

[@lebenin3604]

You have such a great way of breaking things down into easy understandable bits. 💯👍

[@KevBinge]

Thank you! I try and hope I hit the important parts in a watchable way. BTW, how are the drone shots lately? You have awesome stuff.

[@lebenin3604]

@@KevBinge 🙏 thanks Kevin. No drone shots anymore. I sold it. Long story.... 😌

[@KevBinge]

Ouch! You had really nice shots too!

[@shingoeverard6744]

Great vid! What’s the best way to deal with the changing ‘up’ axis (Z in Blender, Y in Houdini) when moving between the two programs?

[@KevBinge]

Thanks! That’s a great question, and in some alembic exporters there were check boxes for z vs y up. I don’t see it in the 3.0 Blender version. Sometimes I just reposition it manually. It’s usually pretty precise to flip.

[@everdrone97]

What's the name of the ambient music in the background?

[@KevBinge]

There’s no name. I wrote it for the video. I probably should name it lol. Thanks!

[@everdrone97]

@@KevBinge damn I was afraid this was gonna be the answer. Really like that drone, 10/10 would listen on loop

[@CatalinPascaru]

Tbh, not a fan of alien-sci-fi-egg-hatching-thingies, BUUUT, I have to appreciate the work you put into this. It looks great! Also, surprised by the idea of using bones to open the egg. Nice touch!

[@KevBinge]

Thank you! I like using bones as they “usually” give me more control on organic forms.

[@jester7169]

Egg-cellent video Kev. In the next one I would like them hard boiled.

@@KevBinge well good then. I don't have to cook breakfast tomorrow morning. Followed by a Dr Seuss book.

[@KevBinge]

Meet one of these and you won’t need breakfast 😀. “The egg was an oval and quivered like gel. What came from inside was a creature from Hell. I looked in the egg with a curios pace, but quickly this thing just attached to my face. It wiggled and squirmed and I started to choke as this thing from the egg forced its way down my throat.”

@@KevBinge well so far it sounds like a horse pill. All of us including myself which is all of us anyhow wish you the best of luck. I'm trying okay? I'm really trying sheesh!

These videos are awesome man! I'd love to see you try and recreate t2's fluidic metal dude in your own style

Hey there......New blender user here, Can you make a video about how to use textures on non-plane surface or curved surface

[@KevBinge]

Once you UV map (lots of videos on that if you’re new) you can bend the surface and the texture will stick. I have some very early in but those parts are in other videos.

why does looop tools not appear after turning on in addons? i'm in 2.93 too

I have seen james Cameron master class, I'm so pleased that class. Best bang for buck.... Or pirate it 😁😁and he himself explains every aspect of it like a true champ. I recommend you buy it. NB: and yes there is a video chapter which specifically breakdown Ripley confronting mother alien and her eggs.

[@KevBinge]

Thank you so much! I’m going to buy it as he really does make awesome films and knows how to push the story. He’s allegedly not easy to work for at all and pretty abrasive but he’s very talented and his films are awesome.

[@sahdsalmi3935]

@@KevBinge well that's what a great director wants, he's difficult to work with because people finds themselves lazy and being a celebrity diva or something. His duty is to show the world his work and he's ready to do it 100%, actors and production people are part of that puzzle, they are supposed to enhance the story. Well if we still thinks he's that hypocrite, may be Fletcher in the movie whiplash will do the honors for us ✌🏽

[@KevBinge]

Haha! I’m not criticizing him at all, and there are NO shortages of divas here (I live in Los Angeles.) James does great work and I’ve been a fan of his films since I was a kid in the 1980s. I’m excited and I’m happy to hear that the class is awesome, so thanks for that!!

Sigourney Weaver is six foot tall, I'm surprised you didn't know she's not a small woman.

[@KevBinge]

I have no idea. I’ve never looked it up or met her irl. Hollywood has lifts, heels, the Tom Cruise effect.

[@timmturner]

@@KevBingeIt's just an observation from various movies of her being side by side with someone you know the height of, such as Bill Murray in Ghostbusters.

[@KevBinge]

That’s true, she was really tall next to Rick in that film... I don’t know, I’ve been on sets so it’s difficult for me to gauge it and I’ve stopped trying until I meet them in real life. Kevin Nealon is super tall. I stood next to him and he was easily a head taller than me or more. Other people are surprisingly shorter than they look on film.

[@timmturner]

@@KevBinge I dig your stuff by the way. I really like how you include the icons of the applications in the thumbnail...I wish everyone would do that. Your multi-package use is refreshing, instead of relying on a single package you work smarter since what matters is the end result. If someone simply learns that from your videos they have truly learned something valuable.

[@KevBinge]

Thank you! I use lots of software and have almost never relied on just one. I live Blender and Houdini, but have used Maya, Lightwave, XSI, etc... over the years. Pretty much whatever the teams I’m on uses. It’s easier for me to adapt to a team than vice-versa lol.
