People who don't know 3d modelling and rendering be like: "So this should take half a day right"

[@hexotech5202]

Lol, the faint of heart should never try this is the months of hard work. soo many hours.

[@chancemcclendon3906]

that's just clients

[@mushan996]

Did he say 2 months? Damn

[@dexterjsullen]

dont forget the need of a super computer

[@fractaltutors]

actually they ask why he work for free just to show on internet? this is a complete waste of time in my opinion.

[@clarkounet2000]

That was one of my wallpapers for 2 years, very surprised to see the making of today in my youtube suggestions. Amazing job

[@michelauspimmelberger]

Naming you air conditioner "heat Hitler" is perfectly normal and everyone should do it-

[@alexfiftyem]

When he said I jumped ahead to a new thing cause the current thing was frustrating I felt that. lol

[@CorneliusDammrich]

There's always a point during a project where I can't stand looking at it any longer, no matter how big, small or ambitious the whole thing is :D

[@RodriguezReel]

An incredible attention to detail, even in the parts that might not show up in the final render. Amazing work

[@kmh27pk]

I watched it, end to end, in one sitting. I HAVE NEVER EVEN WATCHED A MOVIE IN ONE SITTING. At several points i screamed in sheer terror, realising the insane amount of detail you were getting into for the tiniest of the details. I felt actual, physical pain, and a ton of shame at myself, promising to do better the next time. This is a reminder of what it takes to be the absolute best, the GOD of your field. We sir, bow to your genius. Oh also, thank you

[@fergal2424]

Khalid Bajwa you’ve never watched a movie in one sitting?

[@sleepyreapy1222]

youve never watched a movie in 1 sitting? dude youve got adhd or something wrong with you

[@ilyfoggy]

I’ve been going through a huge creative drought lately. I have an almost finished project but taking that final step was proving really hard. After watching this video all the way through, you’ve been able to give me motivation to get back at it. Thank you. Amazing work!

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Thanks alot :) I'm glad it helped you.

[@romarbetc123]

I remember seeing this piece and actually looking at it for a couple of minutes. Which is more then most which get 5 seconds and are forgotten after 6 seconds. When I saw this thumbnail I had to click to see how you made this amazing artwork. Thank you for sharing. Your humor is great and your skills are through the roof. Cheers and looking forward to your next piece!

[@CorneliusDammrich]

When I read this yesterday, it melted my heart. Thank you so much. It means alot to me :)

[@EyeTea]

I can do that, easy. -Said no one ever.

[@piergiacomomacri492]

impressive... amazing to watch the whole process... thanks for sharing

[@Mitroiul]

This video deserves one million views. The narration, the soundtrack and the timelapse are all perfectly done. The music really gives this video a real mood.

[@CorneliusDammrich]

A million views would be very cool. Thanks alot! Also shoutout to Lukas Guziel who spend weeks on composing everything: soundcloud.com/lukas-guziel

[@soop1711]

Your attention to detail is impeccable and I can actually taste your enjoyment and excitement out of creating such a detailed environment, even if it can get tedious and difficult. This work, and all of your work, really is a testament to how wonderful you are for this community. I love how focused you are on the small details, and loved doing it, like when you were explaining even the reasoning behind putting several of the same poster on the walls. New favourite artist having watched his video.

[@StijnOrlans]

Don't think it's possible to find a better timelapse video than this. Thanks for sharing this with us for free Cornelius, you're a legend!

[@CorneliusDammrich]

That's so kind, thank you man :)

[@2gamerzone7]

Man, this makes me want to get back into 3D modelling. Beautiful.

[@MarkArandjus]

When I saw your image 52HZ years ago, it was the best 3D work of art I had ever seen until then, glad I finally found you, and furthermore am able to see your process -> instant artstation follow.

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Thank you so much :)

[@nicholaschan2982]

Dude, you have more patience and persistence than I could ever possibly dream to have. Started modeling still pieces a couple months ago and I can’t imagine reaching your level. Keep up the good work

[@MrPhiineasKK]

Haha i had this image as wallpaper but didn't know it has a video, just got a new sub!

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Thanks alot mate :)

[@polygonerror]

Would of never expected to see this, I've seen this artwork everywhere! This is such a great piece of learning, thank you for releasing this.

[@vladimirbmp]

Your attention to detail is mindblowing! I never would have bothered with those tiny details in the distance and would probably resort to simple shapes or just textures. Amazing work!

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Thank you so much! :)

[@DaveDGRGray]

This is nothing short of amazing! I'm just starting out with 3d modelling, and despite months of studying, and research this is the most inspiring thing I've seen. The amount of hours that have been put into this is as breathtaking as the detail.

[@TheToadSpinner]

Super inspirational. It's nice to know that even awesome artists just go off intuition and wing things. Great piece.

[@cj123456789012345678]

Wow - This is amazing - Thank you for lettign us in on your process

[@CorneliusDammrich]

[@MultiJwalking]

Fantastic video to have on in the background and occasionally check on. I would recommend if you are in a state of uncertainty, anxiety, or unease.

[@coreytk]

Incredible. I'm speechless that was such an interesting process to watch. Your commitment to the process and details is inspiring. Especially enjoyed how even after modelling the details of the robot, you decided it would look better to cover in a garbage bag & commited to it for the sake of the scene, not afraid that time was lost

[@konrTF]

Incredible. Inspirational to me. I've never been super into the 3D side of things until recently and videos like this make me really think hard about what it is I want to make.

[@mostafaelgammal]

this is real journey i can't believe i watch all this video without skip moment loved the effort you make and how you think to solve problems in your work flow ! in second part i lived inside the art because of the music in background that the AI already take control of earth and after long time it been destroyed and lost trip in space back to earth to find this view love to see more of this 😍😍😍

[@CorneliusDammrich]

I try to make it happen :) Thank you so much!

[@Bathyllvs]

Absolutely gorgeous. Laughed at the graffiti, like the message to CG Persia :’D

[@CorneliusDammrich]

It didn't help, but at least I tried :D Thanks alot!

[@Falconite]

Thank you so much for this breakdown. I have learned so many new things and cant wait to practice. Really, really appreciate it Cornelius!

Thank you!

Big congratulations 🎉❣️ hard work paid off today 💪

[@GANJUmusic]

[@JoachimWasteels]

The amount of detail is insane. #inspired

[@arleksey]

Awesome work and greak breakdown video!

[@appidydafoo]

Love to see Fusion in the mix. Wonderful to hear your remark about it being the biggest time saver in the last few years of your work. It seems worth mentioning that you use Moi presumably as the interim converter from Step to FBX due to its ability to convert the triangulated mesh faces to quads quite decently. It is unfortunate that this is still necessary, as the F360 community has been asking for this kind of functionality to be built in for many years to the direct OBJ export process for many years now. Anyways, this is of course a small technical detail in a very large macro scale video on a great project. Thanks for sharing.

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Thanks alot :) Fusion is a huge timesaver, yes. These days I actually tend to go back to SDS modelling though, it just feels cleaner and is way better for unwrapping in later stages. The last bits of quality for textures and materials come from substance and for this I need solid UVs. It's way slower sadly.

[@riforik2704]

one of the nicest scenes i've seen in a while, great work

[@riforik2704]

had it as a wallpaper since august 2018 so I was excited to see this posted

[@noahaviera]

you describing the dinosaur with the penis reminds me so much on werner herzog in rick and morty. the monotone calm voice mixed with a slight disgust for human nature. love it

[@toparak]

I've been following your work for over 6 years now and I love it but I can't figure out why everything around you has such a dark vibe...my anxiety goes through the roof watching this video and I don't even know why but being able to spark such strong emotion with your images is truly remarkable.

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Thanks alot :) To be honest, everytime I revisit my work, I feel that it's not dark enough and should be way more bleak. But it means alot to me that it still sparks something in you, even if you know my work for such a long time.

[@paracite187]

Danke Eimer.

This is absolutely amazing and really inspiring. Gonna continue on my own project

[@Cibmil_]

Hi Cornelius, excellent work with me, thanks for your effort, I'd like to ask you, do you often model hard surface in F360, because I saw F360 has a really strong powerful with hard surface(very fast), but when we import into another 3D software(like 3dsmax as I'm using,casue of its irregular grid ,it might be quite hard to unwraping right? Thanks

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Unwrapping F360 Meshes is a Pain, that's why most of the stuff you see in that image is textured procedurally.

[@Cibmil_]

@@CorneliusDammrich be honor to received your reply, really been impressed when I saw your (free) break down process which that you used to said it didnt enrich your life in D2 talk :D, actually I learn a lot from that step by step for my projects. Thank you so much btw. Hope you're keeping well and waiting for your new insane artwork. ^^

[@uwirl4338]

Loved this. And BTW, I also do post processing the crappy way.

[@chrissres]

That looks amazing. I also agree you should do the post-processing your way as long as you get the result you intend. But That is also a difference if you do a solo or team project.

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Yes, totally true. These days I tend to do way less postwork though. Or at least I try :D

[@chrissres]

​@@CorneliusDammrich I've been talking that to myself for years. But I never finished a project. When clients ask me if the project is finished I say. I can show it to you but for me, it is never really finished. There is always that thing. Maybe different light, or camera angle or something to push it further. But than i jump in to a next project :D

[@fluxtubes]

Amazing work. I was literally thinking about this picture a couple of days ago, trying to remember enough detail beyond "futuristic alleyway" to be able to describe it so reddit could help me find it again. Then YT put this into my recommendations....?

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Well good you found me! Thanks alot :) Can you link me that reddit thread by any chance? I never know where to share my work on reddit, it usually gets posted by others on imaginaryXYZ subs.

[@fluxtubes]

@@CorneliusDammrich I never posted it because I figured it was just too vague to go on, and I wasn't even sure if that bit was correct! Reddit is definitely where I saw it first though.

[@AlexanderMarks]

Hey Cornelius! I am new to C4D and Octane and was wondering if you can still make this available? It says not available anymore on gumroad :-(

[@CorneliusDammrich]

Hey Alexander, It should be available again. Gumroad takes it offline once per week because of their bot problems. Sorry for the inconvenience.
