How I created my most ambitious 3D render | Alternate Realities Breakdown

[@TrisTrisgames]

I love the documentary style of these breakdowns

[@TheMR-777]

"Keep your mind open. Don't blind yourself with a Single idea", I loved that!

Absolutely mindblowing! The amount of work that goes into creating a fascinating render is the reason why I have so much respect for every 3D artist.

@@DiegoM265 amazing work but i don't get it why doing a pulling motion when nothing is pulled. Probably its work in progress and he should pull something later on.

[@matony19]

that is exactly what bugged me about some of the renders in the competition as well

[@AlkyoneAoide]

VRAM is actually video ram, virtual ram (swap) is space on your hard drive you can use as ram when you don't have enough, although it is much slower than actual sticks of ram. The ram that video cards have built in (that you would use for stuff like this) is video ram.

[@Merthalophor]

Virtual memory actually refers to the address space each process has access to, and is way larger than actual available memory ( 250 terabytes in size on typical 64bit machines). It's an abstraction of physical memory that allows programmers to not worry about which addresses actually have memory behind them, and which addresses are used by what program - instead, each process simply gets all addresses. The operating system then maps the virtual address space to actual physical memory, either RAM, hard drives or other locations behind the scenes. This mapping is organized in discrete memory blocks called pages, and depending on whicj program is running and what memory it accesses, these pages are swapped in and out of memory. The region in storage used by linux to store pages that aren't currently in use and can be removed from RAM is called the swap area. :)

[@AlkyoneAoide]

@@Merthalophor Thanks for going in detail on virtual memory that makes a lot of sense :)

[@nemesis2477]

So by increasing vram by using normal ram I can get faster renders for free ?

[@AlkyoneAoide]

​@@nemesis2477 No, my point was the VRAM C4D is talking about is video ram, which is different than normal RAM. Nothing except getting additional video cards or upgrading your current one can change that because it's built in to the GPU, although an integrated GPU will share normal RAM with the system because it doesn't have any and a dedicated GPU may try to use system RAM as a last resort if it runs out, but if that's the case it would already be doing it by default and probably with no way to turn it off (I don't know the stats on how much slower it is to use RAM sticks to communicate with the GPU, but it is significantly slower because of the travel distance, busses, and areas data needs to pass through or be sent through the system instead of being right on the board. For example, the CPU might need to coordinate data transfer which would take up extra cycles vs it being in the GPU where it could be used immediately and you would also need to use up some of the PCIE slot for this, which has a slower transfer rate. It is much slower using a hard drive when you run out of system RAM as well; the maximum transfer speed of DDR3 RAM is 10+ times faster than the max speed of an SSD aka the best an SSD can do is around 9% of the best RAM sticks can do, and an HDD is about 2% hypothetically).

[@Arithen]

This video is more than profoundly valuable for anyone who’s interested in becoming a 3D artist

[@merouanebboy]

Even for people who aren’t interested becoming a 3D Artist, checked the whole video! Really wanted to know how artists do create animations: workflow, tips! Valuable informations!

[@Ginkoman2]

except for that virtual ram part.

[@hmk299]

How can you make money from this as a hobby? I am a 23 year old business grad but want to get into 3d animation as a hobby. However, I know it is expensive so want to make some money on the side. What are the avenues?

[@Arithen]

@@hmk299 a lot of 3D modellers will sell their work on places like Sketchfab or Gumroad as assets. However, you can also make addon’s for 3D programs like blender, and sell those addon’s to other blender users (which can be very profitable). There is also freelancing for companies and businesses for assets or animations, among a plethora of other things that are 3D related (making and selling textures, tutorials, etc). 3D modeling doesn’t need to be expensive. blender is a very powerful, free program, and is quickly making its way into being implemented in the industry. The expensive part is having a capable computer

[@hmk299]

@@Arithen would you say something like 3d modelling is worth investing time into as a hobby and then using as side hustle alongside a fulltime corporate job? Or do you think it will be very difficult to balance? Because it does seem like a very time-consuming thing.

If there's one thing I'd do differently is the mocap. By looking at it the first time you can tell it looks like the character is pulling a heavy weight and not carrying it in its back like the image suggests. Not like I can do anything about it with my 4GB RX 570 though LOL But for everything else this is an outstanding job. I wish I had a rig powerful enough to try this!

[@spydergs07]

There are decent laptops with 3080's now for $2000. I bought one and it has no problem with 3D work or VFX work.

[@chrisprenn]

Result is technically amazing and love that you put yourself into the video and the self scanned textures are great! But one thing that bothers me with this (and many of the other artists) clip(s) is the character's walk suggests he is pulling/pushing hard (just like the mocap). The weight of the backpack doesn't justify the extreme tilt forward either. Also he doesn't seem to be stopping before falling off

[@nanocake]

he should be falling on his nose after every single step. but the rest is sick :)

[@bbsan1147]

The level of passion you’ve put into this render is on level with your passion for teaching others, you can hear it in your voice. You’re videos are a pleasure to watch.

Your s**t is so incredible. Every single time I check in on your channel, I pick a random video and just watch to be inspired.

I know how what you share with us makes me and other people feel doesn't pay the bills, but you're living this part of your life on purpose and with purpose...that's got to mean something in the Grand Scheme!

[@himprakashdas4482]

The render is super cool. But one thing that bothered me was the motion of the man doesn't match the load he is carrying. It feels more like he is dragging a load, not carrying one. I know I'm being picky, but that's what i felt. Anyways kudos for the render!
