Realistic VFX in Blender - The Ultimate Guide

[@hamzameo]

I analysed hundred of cloth sims made by top 3D artists and made 'Cascade - Realtime Cloth Simulation Library'. Check it out here: blendermarket.com/products/cascade---realtime-cloth-simulation

[@MrRyu719]

I really like how every process is documented and explained. Little bit overwhelming but all understandable!

[@hamzameo]

Glad it helped!

[@MrRyu719]

@@hamzameo Is there any tip on shadow matching?

[@DadicekCz]

​@@MrRyu719you can render shadows as a separate layer as well (but be very careful with it - it's easy to forget to turn something on or off during this) and the color-correct it just like everything else in this video

[@tle90]

Masterful work and explanation. You know someone's really good at what they do when they can teach it as well as you have!!

[@ginho3848]

I actually seriously looked through for about 7 minutes, then realised this is way way beyond me..whoosh~🤣 .awesome work

[@janratschko3481]

Well done, but I assumed that the whole process would be done within Blender. At least that's what the title describes. I am not an Adobe user.

[@DadicekCz]

It definitely can be!

[@FlyingBanana78]

​@@DadicekCzexactly. Some people don't realize that some tools are better suited for other uses but not all uses.

[@dpkgray]

I use Da Vinci Resolve Studio, so I assume Blender and Resolve Studio will work fine?

[@raku_kun7]

brother for tracking you can try syntheyes by boris fx it's really good and i believe has an option to do one time payment

[@thefridge007]

Amazing video. So much to learn from this! 🤩

[@hamzameo]

You are the star of the video -> The Fridge (containing radioactive material)

[@realmoonknight]

Great work !! A few things i feel could be added: The safes could have some dirt or imperfections in the textures to blend with the age of the environment The floating robot could have more gi and key when outside to blend with brighter environment and black levels of the human The floating robot animation could also be retimed to match the human head look at in initial frames At 12:29 the shadow from the robot feels darker than the shadow on the wall The same with the small walking robot shadow vs the env plate shadow at frame 12:39

[@hamzameo]

Great observation and suggestions. Thanks!

[@aiemansaeed]

Complete A-Z guide on the subject with great explanation!

[@KowProdMedia]

That was really, really great! Simple explanations and still pretty thorough. Thanks for this.

[@begalooloo]

THANKYOU so much i subbed 🤩...really loved your content looking forward more in-depth vfx tuts

[@hamzameo]

You are welcome! Let me know if there are specific things that you struggle with.

[@maxxmanlegend1505]

You Good at what YOU KNOW...

[@ЦыхраЦыхра]

A few notes: the telephone on the wall should be hidden behind the window frame. The shadows from the robot should be harder, now they are soft compared to those on the wall. You forgot to put the tower outside the window into the final composition. Materials were mentioned already, maybe because of them it looks a little bit CG. But idea is good :)

[@arielwollinger]

you could remember the interpretation and paste to all footage at once, to change the framerate.

[@HellmuthCastillo]

My God ! its one of the best tutorial i've ever seen ! thanks loooot!!

[@pDevelopment]

Thanks for the tutorial. I enjoy it from A - Z, I will really appreciate if you can create a longer tutorial about VFX and I can assure many of your audience including me will appreciate it and will be glad to hear your explain voice on a longer video. Thank sir.

[@Akcessible]

Nice, for Lighting transition we can use mask feather to have an accurate shadow line

[@Editor84345]

amazing man, keep going

[@sakhrnoman]

Y there is only 8k subscribers in your channel??? Thank you for the wonderful tutorial ❤

[@MatthewScholefield]

I was baited. Everything was good until 8:15 😢. Would love to see a remake of the end done in Blender and linked in the description!

[@clinton_jones]

What a great tutorial. I learnt so much! Perhaps its also worth putting in the title that After Effects is also used.

[@chad5893]

You didn't show the color management process for ae compositing. What is your preference color management for project like this?

[@SportzSwag]

Hey, I saw that your Blender speed while making animations is very quick and has good quality. What laptop or PC do you use?

[@hamzameo]

Nothing over the top really. i7 9th Gen, GTX 1660 Ti, 16 Gigs of RAM and M.2 SSD for running apps.

Thank you so much Hamza

[@umaranaksholeh]

See the island which is ignored, then realized your’re the same person that made island scenery tutorial.

[@DesignerNetanel]

I think u can use cryptomattes for collections, instead of render layers, and then export as an MULTI EXR file (polyfroad has a good video on YT), which is much better for compositing

[@michaelounsa5056]

Hi! Is this achievable with DaVinci Resolve?

[@hamzameo]

Definitely can! I tend to use OpenEXR workflow with a cryptomatte pass when ultimate/production quality control is needed in the compositing for every little thing. For simpler scenes meant for YT and social media, render layers serve well in my experience. Possible to operate with EXRs in DaVinci Resolve as well in the Fusion page.

[@3Dmesho]

amazing work

[@Wd-Abdo]

😍😍 can you talk more about layering thanks a lot

[@joserioslopez9515]

Superb work Hamza! What workstation uses for create this?

[@allarejeb1561]

great video

[@Accanfo]

Nice

[@Nejvyn]

Why did you choose to do the lighting change in compositing if you had the basic room modeled out? I think robot and drone would integrate better if you really saw the harsh lines of where they move from shadow to light and vice versa

[@hamzameo]

Good point. The way I think about compositing is that your renderer should produce the images that are 'just good enough' with all the passess/layers needed. The actual magic happens in the compositing. Some workflows even relight the entire scene in the post. Does depend on the use case. Doing it in the compositor here just felt easier.

[@MJ12GRAVITON]

Inspiration +100

[@zikkyherman9183]

thank you......im a newbie

[@stana1980]

Great tutorial. The boy in the video doesn't catch the shadow of the flying robot. Rest everything looks cool Thanks

[@hamzameo]

Agreed. We can have a basic mesh recreation of the subject and use that as shadow catcher for this.

[@arhamsulman4704]

Hi Hamza absolutely fantastic video. I was having some problems with my own project with tracking as it did not had enough movement (like your clip only rotation and location movement). I tried everything from Ae2blend to blender built in camera tracker but was getting error of not enough depth data. Your video solved this problem very easily thanks !🤍

[@hamzameo]

Amazing! You are welcome.

[@soomarido]

Hi, I have question why don't you compositing on Blender? :)

[@hamzameo]

I just feel AE is a bit more flexible and there are certain plugins that work well with AE.

[@User_1544]

Where can we find short sequence like your for training my vfx skills

[@hamzameo]

Vex, as in Houdini? Either way, you can find some good footages on unsplash/pexels.

[@User_1544]

@@hamzameovfx*** my bad, but thanks bro ;)

[@HadjFilmz]

Do you still have the robot asset available

[@nitinnain149]

Great work but still flying robot looks like sharpen when it's enters to the scene

[@hamzameo]

Interesting observation. The blur values should change as an object travels in the Z depth.

[@adititawde-r3h]

thanku

[@giovannicaianiello7669]

I was doing a test on the rendering engine in this video but every time I activate the render I no longer see the backdrop from the camera, what do I do?

[@hamzameo]

So if you drag and drop the image onto the camera, its only serves as a reference, not a 3D object. The solution is to set it up in the compositor with the ‘alpha over’ node. This will render out the objects and composite it on top of the base plate.

[@nutshell5494]

You are not mention AE in the title, not everyone has that

[@Frigus3D-Art]

You can do anything he did in this tutorial in any other compositor.

[@sacral75]

Excellent work !!! Question : why Petrivka, eastern Ukraine, any association ? )))

[@hamzameo]

Not particularly. The environment just feels like its from eastern Europe. 😄
