Beautiful work!!! Please, a paid gumroad course detailing every step!

[@JonasNoell]

If then would be on my Patreon, but yeah let’s see :)

[@pixeldunevisualization7458]

Jonas, You've outdone yourself! this is simply AMAZING!

[@Team_rk288]

Can you please do a toutorial for your vfb color grading every video your color taste soo good

[@tinrats]

Absolutely amazing! Love the breakdown :)

[@nawrasryhan]

Great job man! I really liked the vibrant colors and the overall mood. And thanks for sharing the breakdown!

[@F10F11hm]

Stunning! Congratulations! Fantastic sense of speed, gorgeous attention to detail, awesome lighting, particle effects.. Thank you for the fantastic breakdown, it's amazing to see the steps that led you to such a jaw-dropping result.

[@mikegentile13]

excellent job! LOVE LOVE LOVE your stuff!

[@BeyondLimits3D]

Very good work. Photorealistic!

[@tagtick]

Really nice job, congrats!

[@vizintini]

Congrats! looks awesome !!!

[@riotwerkz]

well polished this is amazing (y)

[@CellarLakeStudios]

Nice touch with the guy leaning into the turn. You are a great animator as well. Wicked job.

[@JonasNoell]

Haha, happy it was noticed! :)

[@robertdouble559]

Gotta love V-Ray. Great shaders, sweet render, awesome compositing. So tastefully done.

[@JonasNoell]

V-Ray is awesome! It brings all the tools for a top notch VFX production. Don't know why people mainly seem to relate it with ArchViz.

[@clfeuillet]

This is very cool!! Well played

[@AlexanderMarks]

I just watched the montage today and this one stuck out. Super cool to see that you're the one who made it!

[@JonasNoell]

Thanks :-) Happy to hear that

[@robertdouble559]

I like it a lot. Stylish, clean, great vibe. Not too overcooked. TASTY!!! Love the animation of the car.

[@JonasNoell]

Thanks for the feedback, happy to hear that! :-D

[@bartgelin]

Great stuff Jonas...good luck with the entry :)

[@JonasNoell]

Thanks 😀

[@markpeters6430]

Very nice. I didn't think you would enter a challenge like this. This is pretty cool.

[@JonasNoell]

Of course, why not :D

[@3dhype633]

how cool to see you join in! I had also firmly intend to participate, but of course I got a big job a week before , and didn't want to refuse it because of a "private project" - Really masterful, I'm curious where you end up. Feels like Top10, however, every time there are really crazy artists participating, always a surprise. fingers crossed. Really nice!

[@JonasNoell]

Yeah was the same for me for the past challenges, so this time when it was about cars I had to join no matter what :-) Let's see, I have spotted some great competition already and I have a feeling that there are many hidden champions who don't go public before the deadline. So, really excited about how it will score as well :)

[@MarTin-zb8ni]

Incredible! well done!

[@cd_core]

holy smokes dude - incredible detail

Need detail breakdown hope you do it for future waiting

[@JonasNoell]

Yeah let's see, would be rather a full course or so I guess!

[@fredarthur2374]

Really amazing result and thanks for sharing the breakdown! Hope you don't mind me sharing two things I noticed: 1) 2:48 - the car turns straight even though the wheels still point to the right, the wheels should lead and go to the left in order for the car to turn back straight. 2) 2:49 - not sure about that one but it appears the rotor blades of the helicopter are still bent downwards like when they are not rotating. I am no expert on this but would think the blades would straighten out by the spinning force automatically (in the real world).

[@JonasNoell]

Hi, I guess you are right on both points you mentioned :-) Thanks for the feedback. I was never really happy with the animation of the car, even there were lots of revisions. The thing you point out makes absolute sense, somehow I didn't notice that. About the rotor I wanted to adress that lateron and then somehow totally forgot about it during production. Now that you mentioned it will forever jump in my face :D In general animation is overall what I think would still need the most finetuning. But I'm no animator so my eye is not really trained on this stuff yet...

[@fredarthur2374]

@@JonasNoell I just spent hours on my own submission getting the drift right but it´s also not perfect :-). Hopefully I can finish it all in time. I had to animate a helicopter 15 years ago and also noticed this "error" only when it was done. Sorry it jumps in your face now. haha

[@JonasNoell]

@@fredarthur2374 Good luck with your submission!

[@JakeMMC]

This is just insane, I'd love a tutorial on how to get some of these details like the dirt on the car or the gunshots with the particles shooting up

[@JonasNoell]

I have a whole course on car rendering that also covers procedural dirt :-)

@@JonasNoell good to know I appreciate it, do you say on your Patreon exactly what you go over before I'd have to pay? It may be the first time I ever use Patreon haha

[@diyhomedecor1480]

awesome!! Plz give a detailed tutorial

[@intiazrahim]

Geez, this video easily took a few weeks to do! Again, so unrrated my man. As a side note, maybe you can video on using Vray Scatter vs Forest Pack Pro. Pros and cons.

[@JonasNoell]

Thx! Oh great idea, will add it on my list! :)

[@mountainsxcompany8093]

cool!! where can i buy this course :)))??

[@JonasNoell]

Haha let's see if I will make a course out of it. For now I need a break from it, have been looking at it for too long and need something else. But hey I have a great course on car rendering already available now that you can find on my Patreon :-)

[@reubencf]

Are those quixel megascans rocks ? And did you download the nanite ones ?

[@JonasNoell]

Yeah, used the high poly source for all of them

[@messiah001]

Oh boy! It is amazing!!! Any chance you could share the plugins/scripts you have used for the project?

[@JonasNoell]

Just read the description :-)

[@messiah001]

@@JonasNoell Okay... Missed that part. Thanks again 😁

[@anony124]

so are you gonna make a course tutorial about this ?

[@massinissa8697]

Great job...but there is something missing here...there is a little bomb sound after the shooting .. but nothing happens for the car as a reaction..why?

[@JonasNoell]

Hi I think I know what you mean but actually there is an explosion directly in front of the car at that moment, that’s why I put the sound there 😀 but probably it could be improved

[@user-ks8fq6jp1c]

in endless engines, can you please put spies in disguise car and ralph breaks the internet vehicles and the bad guys car?

[@jibranbaig3d]

great work there as always . kindly can u share your system specs

[@JonasNoell]

[@ss54dk]

super amazing, u r using vray GPU or CPU?

[@JonasNoell]

CPU

[@solso44]

Please could you tell us your PC specs, time to render per frame. And render settings?

[@JonasNoell]

Threadripper 3990x, 64GB, RTX 3060Ti. But I rendered this sequence on a commercial renderfarm. I think it was roughly 20 mins/frame and cost around 75$

[@bikramjitroy6155]

I want to ask a basic question. How did u create those helicopter bullets?

[@JonasNoell]

That's a basic TyFlow particle setup. Then I used that to guide PhoenixFD for the smoke and explosion effects, impacts and trails.

[@AliMahmoudHaidar]

i love it .. Jonas King Of 3D

[@sturm3d]

the chroma abberation effect was done by shift channels or with plugin?

[@JonasNoell]

That was done with the Quick Chromatic Aberration Plugin. You can find the link for that in the description

[@anony124]

will you create a course tutorial on this scene ?

[@JonasNoell]

Let's see, would be a rather long one. I normally keep my tutorials in around 10-20 minutes :)

[@F10F11hm]

@@JonasNoell A comprehensive course of this would be amazing. There are subtleties here like great motion blur on wheels and background environment which I'm intrigued how were accomplished.

[@anony124]
