Making a Horror Animation in Blender

[@_anushka_draws]

Feels illegal to be watching this for free 😭 you're literally a genius

[@Factsworld.x]

Then pay me and then watch

[@ianzander5057]

lol. Why? This info is everywhere. He did a good job at explaining it. Yes. I enjoyed it. But if you put any effort into it you can find out this information and workflow in tons of places. 😁😀😁😀

[@silvazz0]

@@ianzander5057 bro why you leave spaces so big it feels like when the teacher makes a statement and gives the clas 5 minutes to form pairs and discuss it

Thanks for the tutorial! 2:40 Graswald is now free for everyone (all the premium stuff too)

[@tirthv6746]

Exactly, that's such a huge news

[@wizhard2768]

where I download it? I tried to use some that I found online but it doesn't work

[@savire.ergheiz]

No tutorial though just blabbering of losing to AI 😂

[@jmfs3497]

I am probably twice your age and have worked in media production for most of my life. Rotary phones were the only phones when I was a child. The good news about A.I. is that technology has always been changing epically, and the entire ride I have heard bosses exclaim "We're gonna be out of a job with this new technology!" My advice is to never hold back on YOUR growth. Forget the pressure to abandon your own path if you enjoy it. My entire career has been as a magician. My clients don't know why my work feels better than anyone else's work, but the point is they can FEEL it anyway. You don't have to explain your path to any negative folks. Besides, they can't understand it. By diving deep into your art forever, you will always see what others can't see. A.I. can't teach them that without them knowing they can't see the details and then connections an artist sees. Use A.I. for the tedious stuff you already know how to do. A.I. is nothing new. It's another light bulb.

[@Covingsworth]

Really good insight and motivation, thanks for sharing

[@shoaibakhtar4934]

THANKS UwU

[@debnilde5490]

This is the thing I'm trying to make people understand, from the beginning of this damn AI !!. But you know ... who cares😂. But after reading this comment I am like Hey !!! atleast somebody out there who got it.. 😢

[@JosephDalrymple]

This is exactly what I tell my kids. AI is great at assisting me with mundane tasks (like boilerplating out a class or something), but it's not a replacement for honing your skills and becoming better in every way possible. An analog for AI is cheating on a test. Why is cheating on a test bad? Because the test is supposed to be a marker for your abilities up to that point, and what areas you need to focus on to get better. Cheating on a test robs you of the opportunity figure out how you can get better. AI is no different than a calculator. If you use it to cheat, it'll rob you. But that doesn't mean you can't use it as a tool to make things a little easier, especially when you've already grown past it in certain areas that you're using it in.

[@puneetshakya3001]

I didn't even noticed that was a deer zombie but damm the work loved it. I would love to see such tutorials on the channel please do

[@cgboost]

Fantastic work, Cov! Love the final result and all the great advice you gave, very inspirational. 👏

[@Covingsworth]

[@xannyfrommars1897]

I just came across this channel. Rest assured, you could never be replaced

[@Theoriginaldrog]

Before applying the geometry nodes as shown in 5:06, apply the scale of the plane by pressing ctrl+A, otherwise the grass, moss, etc. will scale with the plane

[@IntricateMoon]

Omg this is gold. Love the soothing story telling vibe

[@Mind_Splitter]

Love the ideology of the planning process with breaking it down beforehand.

[@heckensteiner4713]

Amazing tutorial! And I totally agree with this part at 9:15. I used to be against stock assets, but my mind has completely changed after thousands upon thousands of hours of working in 3D. The way I see it is if the scope of your project is bigger than the object(s) you're using and the object is obtained legally and credited properly (just like you did here) then there's absolutely no shame in using it! Now I only custom model the things that I know don't exist or that I know I can do better. Also, stock assets are used all the time on even the biggest productions.

[@Covingsworth]

Absolutely!

[@karthikditya4297]

Man please keep making videos all of your works are very high quality.

[@ChrisCook_3D]

Sound is also fantastic!

[@EpicWarrior131]

The "is this worth it if Ai is gonna replace me?" and "is it really ok for me to use this in my world if i didn't create it?" are both things i grappled with recently learing UE5 to make games. I like how you brought them up and tried to address them.

[@Tomy_Yon]

That torch part was so real!

[@RhaenixDesign]

I'm blown away by the quality of the video and the content. Thank you for your work!

[@Covingsworth]

thank you!!

[@YoureMadBozo71]

genuinely, thank you for this tutorial. Picked up a couple of mental things watching it, like the priorities or the ai scare segment

[@Zetornator]

i never expected some Cov ASMR-like audio on these awesome Blender tutorials !

[@timfischer03]

Im so thankful for you not only uploading again, but also giving such valuable mindset advice for artists today, worrying about everything. You can’t believe how helpful this video was!

[@luckykraken5835]

i love your takes on, your internal struggles and your resolutions for them!

[@Digitalrogues]

what a great breakdown that goes beyond the tech hows and thinks about the bigger picture. and all this info is easily adaptable to other apps like Unreal Engine

[@ChrisCook_3D]

LETS GO. Looks like I’m staring at this screen until it goes live

[@DECODEDVFX]

Great video mate.

[@Covingsworth]

Appreciate it man!!

[@vi4dofficial]

Bro this is something huge . awsome, if you post this video alone no one find the difference , realistic

[@sally_vfx]

This Video is filled with valuable information, straight to the point. Amazing work 🙌.

[@theeddytor3490]

i like your approach where before you begin, have a picture in your mind, take a reference, dissect them in to list before you open blender. many times most (including me) would open blender then see block and we get our brain BLOCKED. where my imagine should start, what do i need, should i start house wait no lets build environment. at the end we do get the results we are looking for if u are dedicated but at the cost of losing more time.

[@nniitchh]

This is a great overview with some decent tips here and there, and the creative idea of the time shift as a horror effect is really fantastic.

[@Covingsworth]

Thanks!

[@antoinedon9160]

Excellent tutorial to actually CREATE a big looking environement. Props to you, keep it up, not like theses blender-youtuber who usually just talk about stuff they can't realize in blender

[@ryanburris6602]

This feels like an animation video / cinematic trailer to a horror game. Good shit dude!

[@Covingsworth]

Thanks dude!!

[@VFXExperts-ny1lb]

Great tutorial ! It's never been easier to make environments now with all these free libraries.

[@81sw0le]

I love how people who create tutorial just glaze right over extremely key point to to finish the actual tutorial. Something that would take less than 20 seconds to explain just completely omitted.

[@ZigguratYT]

Just found you through Instagram and I wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your videos. I'm trying to get back into blender and improve my skills and these tutorials have been really helpful since I've struggled with environments before. Keep up the amazing content!

just think how easier it would be to animate with a vr headset like vision pro, but more advanced..ud be able to live under ur own cinematic universe after uve built in it

[@hunteriadkins]

Missed you man, glad to see you're making videos again.

[@Markkxd]

Im struggling even on the donut. Cant even imagine this

[@JerielordPlays]

then, you should already quit the youtube tutorials and get a trainer(This is what i did)

[@asapuzzi]

Although some people didn't understand tutorials given you can't get the back and forth a tutor can be quite expensive especially for a new comer

[@Markkxd]

@@asapuzzi im in no need for a tutor. I can follow the tutorials a-okay, just need time. The ecosystem is very different to video editing programms i mainly work in.

This is amazing work and the walk through is so much helpful., the higher fps made it feeling like game environment. I'm sure this would look even better with 24 fps with right motion blur.

Heyooooo. Here trying to learn blender. Awesome video. Just a little one for me as a beginner would be awesome if you could include the keys/shortcuts you're pressing whenever you're doing stuff. Either a pop up on the screen or to mention it during the video. Thanks :)

[@simulasyon01]

I really like the process, I wish you could have given more details about the lighting, and the deer modeling too. I didn't like the one after color grading though, I am an archviz artist for so long, and you can understand when you train your eyes to see the natural green tone. It seemed a little off in the very and, but in the third to fifth layer of your color grading it was better.

[@Covingsworth]

I have more detailed breakdowns of the deer, tree animation, and color grading on my patreon :) Patreon.com/covingsworth

BRO COOKED , Man it's been a long wait TvT

thank u!

[@unraveledultimatefate]

AI is an amazing tool, it's as amazing as you operate it and even then you still will have plenty of guidelines and information to get started right on, making shortcuts really possible and even more plausible than hand made animation, or a mixture of both two.

[@dannyfdonahue]

This is super inspiring! Incredible work!
