Blender Studio is the creative part of the Blender HQ. A dedicated team of artists and developers challenge themselves with creative-technical targets to help Blender users and to drive Blender development forward. This happens in an open source production environment and by sharing everything they make in an open and free license.

The level of detail in the boat and the water waves scene illustrates the project's complexity and the challenges involved.

[@jbdh6510]

I‘m excited to see this short film and happy to see that they complete the project

[@coolbluesky4078]

everybody in the team looks fine as heck

That’s crazy

[@lengting]

Tf do you look like then 😂

[@PVlibras]

Always great to see Blender Studio team! Keep on great work. Best Regards

[@Prism_Animations]

All of you guys are so amazing whenever I feel like giving up I motivate myself by reminding myself about you guys and this is how far I have reached and I will not stop until I become a professional ❤❤❤ thanks

[@APRICEPRODUCTION]

Somebody once told me, that there is no such thing as professional, only an advanced Student, as you never stop learning.

[@ReynanteMartinez]

Saving every two milliseconds is the way to go. Cheers, Andy!

[@andygoralczyk22]

🤣

[@jabbedia]

Years of manually saving because you don't trust autosaves in videogames has prepared this generation well

[@toquita3d]

I just love that you also use Linux with KDE. Free software FTW!

[@skarlok1]

I just wonder what distribution do the recommend.

[@epogue]

Guys, all your work is SO inspiring, thank you very much! ❤️🙏

[@flision99]

woah, the stuff you guys do for the water is insane. this is incredible

[@hectorrojo]

It looks incredible, lot of details, just amazing what the artist and Blender can do, bravo!

[@williamdavismedia]

y'all are doing the lord's work--and making incredible progress with this software and community. Thank you for everything you do!!

[@caspreverest]

That looks fantastic! You guys are awesome. Can't wait to see it.

[@pablomercaderalcantara5740]

Blender Teams' gold project and Tally Ho from Sampson Boat Company, the 2 projects that are my inspiration right now and both of them have a wooden sailing boat on them. Internet is a beautiful place just because I get to see this beautiful people and their very very impressive and beautiful projects thanks for all that work and sharing. I'm donating you know I am.

[@ghislaingirardot]

These devlogs are so good! Killer work!!

[@Imperfectlink.]

This is an excellent stress test for Blender (and the studio)! As hard as it seems for you guys, I know that you will come out the other end with us all being better off. Keep up the great work. The results are looking lovely.

[@melodyflute2999]

"that's good I'm saving every two millisecond" 😂🤣🤣 im dyng

[@thenodecamp]

Powersave addon chads where you at 😂

[@sukram2264]

Thank you for working hard, looking forward to the showcase, what ever it may be then. Stay healthy!

[@khtrammell]

I felt Andy's crash in my soul

[@GENVFX]

I mean, just wow... Every time I see work created with Blender, I am even more convinced that the future of all 3D and 2D animation lies in it's hands. I know that it is also down to great animators, but the complexity of the shots, the power of geometry nodes, the finesse, feel and finish that you create with the software is awesome. Almost all the 3D pipelines in the Games Industry and some in the Media Industry have been quietly pulling in Blender for modelling, some for animation too whilst still keeping on board Maya, Max and the like for what they consider to be "the heavy stuff". You can't change the world overnight. And yet... I have been speaking to a lot of student over the past year and I have yet to find one who has not been using Blender. Not to mention, a lot of them do not like using the bigger software suppliers - I think it might be that Gen Z love for the underdog as well as seeing what they can achieve with Blender. I was sold years ago, I love it and use it for almost all of my 3D work, but I look at this stuff you're doing here and I am completely blown away. Keep doing what you're doing. I can't wait see the finished thing.

[@Solamittporttly]

If you are a little exhausted or work it's complicated,it's ok,at certain times we find happiness in work,either you finish the project or we wait,how long will it be released,isn't this the first time they've canceled a Blender project?

[@Shka_maru]

Loving the progress. When this finally releases it's gonna be great!!!

[@Sparky3D]

This has a very "Fortiche" look and I love it!!

[@008nahid]

I want share an important isuue, when I use another scene as background scene in the current scene, it can not be snapped the object of the background scene. But it should be snapped the background scene as reference to create new object in the current scene. If the snap system is added it will be more fun.

[@Satoruu23]

super interesting the prod log!

[@pluto100_]

Si

[@bellmannmedia]

Your work looks amazing like nothing, that has been done before.❤ Keep it going.

[@wahoo2]

cant wait to see you guys at the MIFA! 😁The visuals in this look amazing!

[@BoarsInRome]

Cannot wait to see the breakdown and study it

[@Zaqariyah]

Making look-like-painting but not painted is crazy 😍🤩

[@AdnanCan]

Love these logs, I am making a film in Blender, it's tough by yourself but hopefully I will finish it this year. progress is on my channel

[@marcelosantos5683]

I'd love to see an one hour video of just the sea and the boat interacting to go to sleep 😅

[@simbarashekunedzimwe1372]

Hand animating the 250 or so shards sounds crazy...surely there is a workaround?

[@neptunus531]

Keep on great work. Best Regards

[@activemotionpictures]

11:49 - Breaking the specularity into brush strokes. Yes, this is really difficult, I've been exploring options since 2022. Hopefully we can get to see how it was done in Blender Studio's dev notes.

[@vextormull]

Whow. Didn't think to use Blender as pb preview tool 😅

[@89ZY]

Blender is increasingly powerful for creating things🙂🙂

[@MAS-hv3je]

It's amazing, but I also hate crashes!

[@justinjpagan]

This is really cool

[@mazen43d45]

I really can't wait that day i will be aple to visit Blender studio and work on a project of these awesome animations 😔❤️‍🩹❤️❤️

[@SneakersDK]

Wait what... So you are newer going to finish the short film? I hope I have misunderstud that part!

[@GandRaya]

1:19 I'm curious which matcap blender studio they use? looks clear and great for playblast

[@princechaudhary2255]

12:41 this is hilarious 🤣 🤣 and her expression 😂😂

[@n3mo146]

There is no expression visible. What do you mean? WTF.

[@princechaudhary2255]

@@n3mo146 a little before when he say……….ohh it crashed, fantastic 😂 and the concept artist girl gives a expression and walk way just like a criminal walk way from the crime scene. I find it really funny 😂😂😂😂

[@Bsbsbss6192]

What gpu do you guys use😑

[@colourberry]

Curious if you have tried using an orthographic camera for this. It may suit the painterly look you are going for.

[@Yoliver1301]

12:40 hahaha

[@ayaz1979]

Amazing

[@DigitalVortex203]

Big project

[@USBEN.]

I would like deeper dive into how you used portal node in this.

[@faizankureshi-hn6ks]

What's the minimum specification for computer to create a 3D animation Short Film in blender?

[@sole_prime]

Oh it's crashed. Fantastic. Yay! - when I open Simons demo files on my potato pc

[@dirunfx577]

8:04 does anyone know how to preview a video like this in blender, or is this a different version of the blender branch?

[@hammdesigns1]

I would also like to know

[@jesperj86]

It says 4.2 alpha in the top of the screen. So maybe. I tried to recreate the view in 4.0 and got a somewhat same result. Open a new workspace > Video Editing > Video Editing. After that close the sequencer and properties. File viewer and preview are still open (toolbar (T) and sidebar (N) are hidden) Set the file viewer Display mode to thumbnails and display size on big (or large)

[@dirunfx577]

@@jesperj86 Yes, but look at this 1:52, just double click and the video will immediately play without having to adjust the strip and the ui just simple file and window on the top

[@julioarvellos]

After you set your scene, in the top left menu "View" of the Viewport there's an option named "Viewport Render Animation". That will generate a preview of the anim with all the viewport details (axis, grid, selections, wireframe etc.). Just hide these in the overlay menu and you'll have a clean preview animation.

[@dirunfx577]

@@julioarvellos That's not what I mean., the method you convey can only open one rendered viewport, but how to access a folder containing lots of videos with different durations and I just double click on the thumbnail and the video will play according to its duration without having to adjust it in the timeline yes of course use the video editor feature but that is not practical we have to adjust the number of video frames on the timeline otherwise the duration will be truncated or excessive and that is very inefficient

[@MarioRivera-png]

Project Gold is the Yandhi in the filmography of Blender Studios

[@efepalism]

I'm confused, wasn't this project cancelled some months ago?

[@rhashadcarter2051]

I thought so too

[@andresstopmo]

From what i understand the short did get canceled but the are still polishing some shots they have done to showcase Blender

[@SanOcelotl]

Its cancelled as a complete product, but its still being worked on to put out some blender showcase, they are going to publish the files and setups used

[@visceralvore]

What will be your next project ?

[@crimson_bamdit5867]

7 years later and agent 327 will never be made, sad

[@NicCrimson]

What's the name of the convention they mentioned?

Dear Blender Studio. I am having such of a question about Blender, that literally I want to be curious about. I want to make a movie that from now on is taking a longer work on it. So please when you have to answer back, please reply me through this message. Thank you. Sincerely, Constantine Popravko. P.S; This movie is going to be the epic one in this entire world.

[@Nkanyiso_K]

😢 I don't know why the short got cut down, I donated for several months until I couldn't anymore

[@user-kr4rk1pv6e]

I thought you guys had cancelled this?

[@branthan8215]

How do they preview video in blender? 1:25

[@redrox23]

Blender has a Video Sequence Editor (VSE). The VSE has a Preview window. One way to get to the VSE is to activate the "Video Editing" workspace. This workspace is not listed by default. You have to click the "+" icon next to the list of workspaces at the Top bar to add a new workspace. In the Video Editing workspace you can add image sequences, movies etc to the VSE timeline. It is actually a full blown Video Editor. In case you do not know how, you can render your own animations with the "raw" 3D Viewport shading using the "Workbench" render engine.

[@c4err9]

It's ugly I don't want to do it got me 😂 AND then I got to the end of the video 😂😂😂
