I made 1 VFX shot every day for 50 days! Blender compilation

Hey guys, recently I created 50 vfx shots over the course of 50 days and I thought I'd compile them together to show my growth. I've learned a lot, but there is definitely so much more that I need to learn. I look forward to continue growing and sharing it all with you guys!!!

Morals of the story: 1. You are dedicated. 2. It’s hard to get Blender to do fluid sims that don’t look like they’re floating.

[@gangel478]

What about mantaflow? Cggeek did a video on it and it was probably the most realistic water simulation I’ve seen made in blender, but I guess if you did only have one day to make it wouldn’t be as realistic

1:33 😮 if I hadn't stopped the video... I'm not sure I would have been able to tell it was CGI! I think the fog and the fact that the ground is far enough away it looks really good. I honestly thought it was a drone shot at first. :) 😀 Overall, very impressive video! It would take way to long to say everything I thought of so many of these clips :p but I think it suffices to say that you kept up your game and it was entertaining to watch! I can see progression in your ability to make realistic explosions.

These are so awesome! Click the "animate seed" button in the render settings, and the "film grain" that shows up in shadows will look a lot better when you're doing a video.

Nice! I know this is the case of quantity over quality because of the time restriction, but it must have been a great learning experience. My favourite one was the 'frozen' explosion composited over a lamp. So much fun to look at that one. Oh, and I really like the view from your yard, wish I had one like that. :)

You Made 1 VFX Shot Everyday For 50 days *It Takes me 50 Days To Make a Donut*

[@thecrinjemasterjay]

Just a few quick tips: +Look into denoising- It's great and you can lower the samples +Place more trackers in your scene- Foreground and background- It'll make less slipping and sliding-You can use natural items to do this +0:34 Try flipping the normals on the collision object- It might look a little better. Keep up the great work. This is AWESOME! The explosions were amazing, like everything else too.

[@arsitayyab2208]

2:05 Ahh yess... Good ol' Windows background

[@ManningMoore]

something that popped out at me (just a little friendly critique) is that you didn't randomize your noise seed for rendering. It made the noise look like its stuck in the same position on screen. In blender, if you go to the render properties > sampling > advanced and hit the "clock" looking icon next to "seed", it will randomize the noise and get a much more natural looking render. other than that, keep challenging yourself! love the idea of 1 vfx shot a day. its a tough demand, but its cool to force yourself to learn many different areas of discipline for vfx!

[@Jacob_Zirkle]

Thanks so much I’ve been looking for a way to add moving noise in my renders so thanks!!! I’ll give it a shot soon!

[@ManningMoore]

@@Jacob_Zirkle no problem! I would recommend keeping that in by default. Don't know why blender doesn't do that automatically, but I'm glad I can help!
