EbSynth Tutorial - Mind-blowing Style Transfer App

[@GlebAlexandrov]

If you'd like to test EbSynth on some footage, here I uploaded a bunch of sequences with keyframes, you can find it on this page: www.creativeshrimp.com/ebsynth-tutorial.html

In the words of Karoly, "what a time to be alive!"

[@gregarmstrong4653]

yup, and "may you live in interesting times" never was more true than today

[@GlebAlexandrov]

right!

[@NebraskaJimmy]

WOW I need to sit down oh I am sitting, I thought I was floating....crazy good really appreciate all the leg work you do for creatives and staying on edge of stuff. Hats off to you my friend.

[@TheDrumtracks]

Since a couple of days im into this and BAAAM you provide this video!

[@gregarmstrong4653]

you are one interesting dude Gleb, thanks for posting this

[@GlebAlexandrov]

thnx Greg! was it helpful?

[@gregarmstrong4653]

@@GlebAlexandrov yes, very much so, when I have recovered from the impact of this, I will attempt to put it to good use

[@BlenderSecrets]

Very cool video Gleb. "The software has temporal awareness" sounds like dialogue from Star Trek ;-) I like these out-of-the-box workflow experiments.

[@SpencerMagnusson]

I'm glad you said Poliigon how we all thought it XD

[@GlebAlexandrov]

how should it be pronounced? :D

[@mctimon4693]

@@GlebAlexandrov I think it's pronounced the same as "polygon". Andrew's spelling is just a play on the branding or maybe he didn't get the original domain name to register 😁

[@arianullah6257]

My mind blew away when I noticed you made another video :)

[@GlebAlexandrov]

mine too :)

[@ATZETM]

Thanks Sparkman; your work is always inspired genius.

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Wow so cool! I can't wait to test this out!

[@tamilorejoseph4704]

wow, I've got a great feeling the movie puss in boot the last wish used some Eb synth. it looked very stylistic haha

[@RahfeN]

HOLY SH**** that tool is AMAZING!!! Gleb, thank you so much for beeing this wonderfull educational, inspiring and good looking computer graphics GOD

[@GlebAlexandrov]

you're too kind, Rahfen =)

[@RahfeN]

​@@GlebAlexandrovSeeing the opposite around me, my country, my city ... I try to practice kindness in an attempt to inspire people. Just as you inspired me to find my place in my early adulthood. We ARE changing the world of computer graphics, one heart at a time.

[@NJ4KTV]

I found the perfect software to stylize my war of the worlds movie. It also helps me not to have to be so render intensive.

[@jazzlehazzle]

😮🤯 The last minute of this tutorial means... EVERYTHING!!!! ???? 😮😮😮 Think about it! ...😮😮😮...🤯

[@theamazingplayer5225]

This can be used as deflicker for the 2.81 denoised animations

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Can you explain what you mean?

[@T1mothyTee]

how?

[@aleistergein114]

I wonder if this could replace Freestyle in an NPR workflow. Maybe trace the outline in one frame of animation and watch as the robot outlines the rest?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

this is an interesting thought Aleister, it's definitely worth testing.

[@aschvr5150]

Dear Fellow Scholars, this is Two Minute Papers with Gleb Alexandrov!

[@3ndt1m3s]

You're a gentleman and a scholar! That was an excellent and inspiring tutorial! Thank you!

[@wissotskeh]

Been using this for a while. suprised it isnt used as much as it should be

[@GlebAlexandrov]

that's why we have been sent to this planet, to help cool things reach their audiences)

[@kanteralex3477]

Спасибо! Это было очень круто 👍!!!

[@cejaythegreatandawesome]

It would be pretty interesting to see if you could render the whole video in eevee tham use one cycles frame is the input, to get more realistic renders faster

[@GlebAlexandrov]

for previews - no problem, i think that can be done in many cases. for the final renders, not sure yet.

[@Coldcut]

Thank you so much for this which fast tracked me to rendering an animation in 10mins. Big respect to Gleb and crew, this is an awesome weapon. Have a couple of Qs hope its OK to ask here: -can EbSynth take advantage of any special rendering cards like the Nvidia ones which speed up tensor operations? my machine is struggling! -I get how to batch sections of the same project by using different keyframes with different stop frames, is there any way to batch up a set of different renders using different project dirs? -any explanation of the Advanced settings would be welcome. thanks again. x Matt Black

[@ThisIsNotWhatItLooksLik]

How long does it to do "render"this? I am wondering about photo realistic game implementation.

[@ThisIsNotWhatItLooksLik]

@Abdul Mtoro III I mean the style transfer part.

[@danielloo1255]

There are some really great ideas in the comments. I tried using a picture to style 3d models. The perspective wasn't close enough to work right but it did pretty well away from the edges. There's a 10 second video on my channel. I wonder if camera solving would yield better results, maybe it could be mixed with a cycles render to make something nice?

[@dotails]

How long would it take cycles to render compared with EBsynth?

[@DanJackielz]

How to hell does this look so good?? I know I know.. Poliigon I would love to see a tutorial for this, cuz the shapes are so simple but the lightning and textures make it super realistic.

[@DanJackielz]

and the best part is that its rendered in eevee

[@josukebosuke8579]

what is the free image editor tool called? krater? creator? crater?

[@spokesmanmark]

"Krita"

[@abiyyupanggalih854]

Im waiting for this😂👌

[@KiR_3d]

Thanx for the great tips, Gleb! I think you should try the last example with chequered cubes propagation on some difficult scene with glass caustics and some near extreme camera rotation. Will it "blend"? ;)

[@GlebAlexandrov]

i doubt that! :D still, in some other cases it may work like a charm. each tool has its purpose I guess)

[@siliconbrush]

Looks like a google mind that been popping up in visual fx and video editing software along with NVIDIA noise reduction tek, I think the source for both is open source.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

HOw bizar you still need to manual select still iamges in blender while other parts have open as sequence. Filed a report about this and sadly not updated :(

[@danpersson8916]

Mind blown!

[@jonnyreverb]

All I get are black images... Even when I use the sample files.

[@joseandresalvear4752]

Hi amigo! we need a hard surface modelling for 2.8 is it possible? I've never used 2.79 :c

[@1990spiderman]

You did that scene? Looks beautiful

[@JohnSmith-rn3vl]

I am extremely wary about trojan malware. Who is this company ? .... they have little info about them online that I can find.

[@JohnSmith-rn3vl]

According to their instagram they did a presentation at sigraph this year .... anyone see it?

[@jeremyfischer2260]

omfg masking.. of course..

[@larvenkarlsson440]

I thought it was called e flat synth?

[@edwardhitten2678]

Looks like digital blobs. Not really beautiful. It don't feel 3-dimensional, it's more like digital dirt (not to be offensive, I love Gleb's work overall), or digital mud. Pixels leave not-so-fluid streaks behind them. Need more work to go OK to me. Beside that, great possibilities with this tool.

[@mrirurfkjsdo]

'llo Edward.... could you develop your thought in some lines... would be interesting... ; )

[@edwardhitten2678]

@@mrirurfkjsdo Sure, young man.

[@mrirurfkjsdo]

Thx buddy. I just think it comes from the texture used, the way to apply them, to paint on your image(s), etc... here, Gleb Alexandrov just used a quick way for applying textures, but and from several tests i did myself since 2 or 3 weeks, with more refine texturing workflow (need more time), either on full vid' or just on some parts of the images, you don't get that 'blobby' effect, and all stick very well, even just lines. Exemples shown on EbSynth aren't 'blobby' at all... (And of course without ignoring future updates.) 'Need more work to go OK to me'..... we agree... more work from the artist using it. Cheers, dude.

so true! but i got hooked just a few minutes in their demo.
