How I made this VIKING SCENE in BLENDER

[@Glurgi]

I like the old style tutorials with fewer things explained more in detail, but every once in a while it's nice to have something bigger like this to see how it all connects together.

[@AlbinThorburn]

Ok! Nice input, I'll take that into consideration.

[@ramanrafiq7888]

@@AlbinThorburn man I am just really confused about how u messed up the fires, like they don't sync with each other, hw did u make them not sync?

[@AlbinThorburn]

@@ramanrafiq7888 I explain this in my latest video, somewhere in the end. It's quite simple but a little tricky to explain through text :)

[@zayn7465]

Quick tip : You can just use video as plane, grab a fire video footage (with black background to make it looks transparent), connect it as emission. Duplicate it multiple of times, rotate the others a bit, and merge all of them. And done, you have a fire on your scene without doing sum simulation. (Make sure to increase the value on light pass > transparent)

[@AlbinThorburn]

Awesome! I'm going to have to try that sometime

[@LightArchitect]

Very cool. I like the final comp.

[@AlbinThorburn]

Thanks! :) I did it in hitfilm

[@justsomeguy1074]

Very nice. I like the way you made simple objects and built them up into the scene. I couldn't see the houses in the final render as it's too dark. Maybe you could add the moon and have a little light at night.

[@AlbinThorburn]

Yeah they were barely visible. Perhaps I could have added a sharper backlight :)

[@Sharon46655]

It's really useful and inspiring 😃

[@DrunkenWizardBattle]

i think reusing the fire sim throws things off a little - of course its a huge time cost to do lots but theres not enough variation so you can see the shared rythem in some of them even if the rotation is different.... and in one or two the rotation is the same next to one another. if you could offset the start point of the animations for each i think it'd do a lot to hide the cloning... i also think the fire thats on the boat in the foreground is a mistake because it doesnt have enough detail when we compare it to the flames in the background. I think it would be cool to have the boat just be a black shilouette against the fires behind it. its easier to criticise than do though - its a great tutorial ive learned a a good few things. Your compositing at the end is dope.

[@GroovyGregfruit]

Awesome as always - Could you make a tutorial on how to implement real footage of a moving person keyed out in a blender environment?

[@drumboarder1]

[@naoton201]

​@@AlbinThorburn as a viewer i think i will be more interesting to make small tutorial like "fire" first and then make a new bigger project using the smaller content previously made

[@alessiokepeshchuk664]

Really liked the video! Wanted also to see how you work with camera though because of how good you did the exposition

[@DmitryLapenkov]

вау)) как круто сделано!

[@teo__]

Very useful tutorial. I would have pre-rendered smoke and flames and inserted them as animated 2D layers (or would have composed them after the 3D render). It's impressive that blender can handle all those simulations straight away.

[@AlbinThorburn]

I actually try that in the video, at 06:44. It didn't really cut it for me, because I wanted to be able to rotate it to create some variation :D

[@FloridiaPietro]

@@AlbinThorburn A solution could be rendering the cards directly from the scene, using the same angle of the final camera, so it would look exactly the same but without the render time

[@KwameGyanko]

@@FloridiaPietro or just add a 'track to' constraint and choose the camera as target. So it always faces the camera

[@thomaswindfeld728]

That was great. Just started with blender. The donut really bores the sh.. out of me. So considering diving unreal a go instead. Which application would you recommend of these two if you had to start from scratch?

[@AlbinThorburn]

Super interesting question. I've thought about learning unreal myself. The way I understand it, is that blender is much better for general 3d and unreal is better att real time rendering. So if you're interested in learning modelling, sculpting, animating and all that stuff, go with blender. If you're more interested in scene building and world creation, go with unreal. I hope that makes sense :D. In general, just go with what you find most interesting at the moment!

Good break down. I am not a heavy blender user. Its just my suggestion. The one thing that is s very prominent in this shot is the fire, it seems very monotonous. If you could have simulated a bit more different variations. It needs a bit more work. Rest is all good

I completely agree with you :D. I should have made a couple of variations. If you want to recreate something similar, just try changing the shape of the emitter to get different simulations!
