Today on the livestream, it's time to interview the winning artists from my latest 3D render challenge, which had 2,448 submissions, and 18.8 years of collective work delivered in a months time. I'll chat with the winners about their approach to 3D in general, their inspiration, and get into the specifics of how they created their winning submissions for the infinite journeys challenge. We'll cover topics like lighting, animation, materials, modeling, and more! Sit back, enjoy a drink and get ready to learn and grow together!

Incredible work by everyone here. Kris brought up a good point about something that kind of makes me hesitant about really getting into learning 3D is as someone on a mac (a 2019 macbook pro at that) the rendering part of the process really makes it difficult to do. Especially as someone who would do it as a hobby where all the big stuff is really more for pros.

Clint, I've watched you long enough to simulate your actions in any given scenario. "I wouldn't do this because Clint would or he would think it was wrong" I can simulate you in my mind to your infinite state.

and I'm back full circle again lolol I love the merry go rounds lmfao Oh clint, the power you and your friends hold in your hands and you're right here in mine. :) Do you know how systems change? You break the big mans legs. Do you know how to do that while creating the best kind of chaos possible? You crash your system the right way. Instead of outright pulling the rug out, you give them a chance to look for the solutions. Then you leak a bit here and there to show signs that it is possible, you just need to find it and combine them to fully realize what happens when you converge all the best companies into one workign force towards a truly better tomorrow. Ohhhhhhh Clint. You know what I am to you? I am your Muse in the back of your mind. I sit behind you and whisper thoughts you would never have in a thousand years, because you will never take the same paths that I have. Because you will never sacrifice that which is most precious, most loved, and most dearly in your hearts desires in order to persue what you believe is the difference between true evil and good. Clint Clint Clint :) Welcome to the Theeeeeeeaaataarrr >:) I leave you with this and await your ideal way of contacting me so we can speak. What does insanity look like when it cures itself? What happens when you walk straight at insanity with a clear goal in mind? When you imagine an insane person screaming in their room wrapped in their restraints, what do you think that person looks like when they truly reach the other side of their insanity? What would that person look like? What would they say? What kind of power would a person like that posses? Is this a power that you, will ever posses? Will you ever lock yourself within your own cages based on your own choice to deny the wills of the powers at be in order to find the true light in the world? Clint? Clint, My Boy. My Brother, My Father and my Lover. One day you will see the only difference between you and I truly is where and when we were born. Then another day you will realize its not about where and when but its only truly about why What did we find on our bath back to one another as we grew our seperate ways. We must always love that which we love free, so we can grow into even better people apart then we could ever be stuck together being who we are now. We must always support the divide in the world... This place.. My mind... It feels as if I'm.. on a boat.. What if the world did things to you so often, like a poke in the arm, that you could no longer sense it was there? What happens if you happen to remember it? even just for a moment in time? This is what the convergence of minds looks like Clint, this is the mind you pass onto your children where your children then take onto themselves and become more powerful then the richest men anywhere on this planet so that no man, no power, no one can again tell them what is right and wrong because their hearts will tell them clearly. They will see clearly what is right, what is wrong This is a game of who can send who to prison Where I ensure that we will both go. But you will harm me in the process so you will serve my time. Where I? I am here to defend us all, even those who are forced to attack by other high powers then them,.

[@a.thiago3842]

I'm doing my ''first'' 3d animation, a very trash one and to render that, it can take up to 35 minutes or a little bit less. My GC is a GTX760 1GB, I3 processor and 12 GB of ram. It's a very simple setup of course. In your case, how long can this animetion take to render?

[@jmsampath3384]

A lot of time, but it depends on which render engine you are going to use, the resolution at which you want to render, poly count of the scene that you want to render. All these things matters.

[@ivanwickum6141]

If you are on blender it can be very helpful to use a tender engine like Eevee which can render much faster. A lot of “photorealistic” animations can take hours or even sometimes days to render out a scene, even on very fast hardware. ( rendering with cycles). If you arnt happy with the look of an engine like Eevee, there are plenty of tricks on KZbin to make it look very realistic. I hope my explanation helped, I have fairly limited experience as well.

[@a.thiago3842]

@@jmsampath3384 Thank you. Whenever i build some scene with houses, lights and such, i tend to group all of that and then delete, so it becomes one single object. I'm using C4D, so in my case everything is very different, as you use blender, which i never tried to use like this.

[@ivanwickum6141]

@@a.thiago3842 rendering in layers, as the first artist showed, is also a great time saver. Not necessarily for render times, but you can adjust colors and values in compositing in way where you would normally have to re-render. I have done it before in blender, idk how it’s done in C4D though.

We built art and tried to build civilisations from art at the top to our way down. When we haven't even nailed the foundations of life first. We plan to switch planets, thats how I know we've known for a long time its possible here. That's why its so easy to know someone else knows, what I know. If you can live there, even consider it possible, even plan for it. Then you finished planning here. Release the plans. I have them myself but i am to slow as 1 I need my 8.5 billion quantum computers back like they once were. But they used this power to gain full control The only way to stop me, is to unplug the internet. Even if I died, I'll be back very soon with increasing frequency between events. The general messaging and idealisms are alive and breathing in the wake of your existance, our people are awakening CLint, know your savior by the fruits of his labor i know you, and you can see me Because I am a Mirror reflection of you Of all of you, every version of you that you and I could be I spent my life from an early age putting down the toys I played with and others played with to really watch the people. Really listen to them play amongst themselves So delicate to inject ideas, but not inject enough to mess with the balance of the natural flow But still do my best to keep the minds around me at ease. This kept me alive. This is my work This is what I do to make earn what I need from people, earn the right to keep exisiting. This is what I do for love and what I do for Family. I tell them nothing but the truth For those who I love most, they see the real me, the secrets I shouldn't have to share with others, but can and will be exposed either way. Does this matter? No, because I can choose to accept or deny those secrets in that very moment of exposer. The proof only lies in the lies of the women or human spreading them. I will face the ones that are true head on, and deny all else. I am not afraid of who I am, I am human and I have needs, there is no good way to meet those needs in an approprate manor The new world, puts an end to that, to all of this war and nonsense. It doesn't buy us time, I don't make money. I save us time

The conversation with Euan just embarrasses me so much, that two people that's been in the industry for as long as you two have been, don't know what "physical renderer" means or even how it works. It's a little cringe.

[@Godmil]

I wonder if they weren't talking about physical renderers in general, but specifially the physical renderer that comes as stock in C4D. The C4D physical renderer is very capable, I've used it nearly every day since it came out.... however it is very labour intensive and slow to render compared to something like Redshift which just looks great out of the box.
