The Environmental Impact of VFX

[@onetupthree]

fun fact: i say "VFX" 25 times in this video

[@RoboThePanda]

i was going to make it a drinking game but now ig i’ll just line up 25

[@onetupthree]

@@RoboThePanda next time i'll put it at the end of the video 🤣

[@theyellowarchitect4504]

This will be a timeless video because it doesn't care about artstyle and game engine, so I can see it becoming a classic over the years. Could as well be titled "VFX Fundamentals"

[@onetupthree]

i appreciate it ! got more video ideas of this format in the backlog 🙇‍♂

[@Fundy]

This is fantastic, cheers :)

[@onetupthree]

thanks ! 🙏

thanks !! 🙇‍♂

[@BrutalMagik]

I really enjoyed how you broke it down in different layers. I'll be using these lessons this weekend to add some polish to my attacks!

[@onetupthree]

thanks ! :D good luck w/your project !

[@rockinpatty346]

Will def be coming back to this for reference. Thank you!

eyy thanks fam 😭 those took the longest time to draw 🤣

[@GameDragon2k]

This is platinum tier information. Incredible video!

[@onetupthree]

thank you so much ! :D

[@Tearraria]

very good way of explaining core concepts and breaking them down into smaller and simpler ideas. amazing work, hope you plan to continue this format :)

[@onetupthree]

thank you! and yes i do plan on continuing this format🙏

You're the goat of VFX dude really, I needed this video so much when I started making vfx, love it Keep making these !!

[@onetupthree]

@@LisaDaugesVFX thank you so much Lisa 🥹🥹

[@slephy]

Very nice, man. Very clean, very organized.

[@onetupthree]

thanks ! :D

[@slephy]

@@onetupthree I develop in Godot and I'd pay $15-$20 for a clean tutorial/mini-course by you on the fundamentals and core principles of making this sort of stuff. Yours is a quality above the rest. You make it look easy. Keep me informed if you put something out. (the coding approach, for instance)

[@onetupthree]

@@slephy there was another comment here asking about paid courses and unfortunately i don't see myself making one any time soon 🙇‍♂ but if that changes i'll let you know :) won't affect the stuff i upload here either way i just checked your channel too btw! the kinematic tool looks sick as hell 🔥if i get back into 3d animation ill definitely check it out

[@slephy]

@@onetupthree yeeeee 💪 Out of curiosity, if you're comfortable mentioning it, what part of the world do you live in?

Everything you said is very precious!! I already watched the video twice XD Thank you !

@@sabriboughanmi2435 thank you so much !! :D

[@ProfessorMacQ]

Nice dude! This is super useful reference. I'm sure I'll be coming back to this video many times.

[@onetupthree]

glad i could help ! :D

[@RoboThePanda]

loved this! keep them coming! it’s great how you’re just talking about the theories that help us understand why things look the way they do. makes this watchable for people who have the technical knowledge but something still doesn’t feel quite right

[@onetupthree]

thanks so much !! :D that's the goal 🙏

[@RomansyahAnim]

I made VFX for years now and I do grasps the technique for each type of VFX, but the Impact of it sometimes hit or miss for me. I never understood the theory behind it until now! Thank you so much for sharing this very helpful insight!

[@onetupthree]

glad i could help !! 🙇‍♂

[@NIUIX]

Amazing work! these videos deserve more love keep up the good work !

[@onetupthree]

thank you ! 😄

[@mathieuRakoto]

Thank you so much for this kind of videos. I stagne a lot to improve my vfx at this moment and these are very good advices.

[@onetupthree]

thank /you/ ! im glad i could help out :D

[@kartopod]

Thank you for opening my eyes to the world of vfx. This is incredible.

[@onetupthree]

thank you so much !! 🙇‍♂

[@Pixelfried]

Great video!! Another trick for helping VFX look like they are more grounded/actually in the environment and glowing/emitting light is to add a large and very soft subtle glow particle over everything. In addition to the actual light it just adds a bit of "haze" as though its also lighting up the dust/atmosphere/whatever would be in the air around it - it works extra nicely on larger vfx too

[@onetupthree]

well said ! thanks for the input 🙏

[@willtn]

super good vid, really well presented. not focusing on the technical implementations opens up the advice to animators and illustrators too

[@onetupthree]

thank you so much !! :D

[@jakebom8661]

Well made and quite interesting! I must say that the before/after made me feel like watching a spell level 1 versus the same spell fully upgraded at the end of the game. It's an interesting thought to imagine the VFX evolve and becoming more lavish when leveled up. Anyway thank you for the video!

[@onetupthree]

that's one way to see it yea ! glad you enjoyed the video 🙏

[@ai._.i]

This is an amazing, I hope I can apply these tips one of these days!

[@onetupthree]

thanks ! 🙇‍♂

That was a best video about VFX i ever seen! I enjoyed this vid a lot. Btw, what tools you are using too create this vfx?

I don't know why I was recommended this but great video!

[@onetupthree]

thanks 👀 curious tho do you work in the game dev industry anyhow? :O

[@EVILDAEMON333]

@@onetupthree No not at all haha I just make gaming videos, tho I do watch stuff about after effects/editing/art and even tho its about VFX there's some great lessons in there that can apply to a lot of other stuff

[@onetupthree]

@@EVILDAEMON333 that's cool! thanks for giving this video a try still 🙏

[@EVILDAEMON333]

@@onetupthree Glad I did! Keep up the great work :)

[@denischen8196]

8:35 Down in this context means toward the center of the planet, so if your game involves running and jumping from one mini planet to another, the VFX should be attracted toward the nearest planet. If the game is a side scroller where you have the power to flip gravity, all the VFX should be affected too.

[@onetupthree]

exactly 👌

[@hptheking1393]

Subscribed. Maybe one day I can make vfx like you my goat

[@onetupthree]

thank you !! i appreciate it 🙏

[@PrettyKindaNeat]

excellent video :]

[@onetupthree]

thanks ! :D

[@Franky-Koh]

wow that looks so amazing! do you have any recommendations of where to start learning to make VFX like this? cheers!

[@onetupthree]

thanks! :D - for more 'step-by-step' stuff, Gabriel Aguiar Prod and 1MaFX are pretty good 👌 - if you search Artistic Principles of VFX you'll see the playlist by VFX Apprentice for more conceptual stuff; and - I also have some videos in my channel under the "VFX Tutorials" for shaders and "VFX Breakdowns" for breakdowns of 2 of my pieces🙇‍♂

[@Franky-Koh]

@@onetupthree thank you very much! I'll check it out :)

[@Jreft]

How do you make these vfx.. like... Where do i start from to get to this level?!?

[@igrb]

wow just wow

[@onetupthree]

O _ O

[@FileTh1rt3en]

I'm now really interested in knowing what the impact of VFX is on the real environment though. How many degrees warmer is the world due to various VFX and rendering them. In movies and in games? Anyway cool video.

[@onetupthree]

thank you ! :D and yeah i havent seen any studies on that 🤔

we are so back

the title made me think this was gonna be about render farms or something lmao

[@onetupthree]

@@stardust-reverie understandable

[@JaiUjjwal]

Any guidance on how to create these? Any youtube channels or courses?

[@onetupthree]

(copied from one of my responses to a similar question) i have a couple of breakdowns and shader tutorials on my channel other channels i recommend are - Gabriel Aguiar Prod - 1MaFX they have more detailed and broader ranges of tutorials :) also VFXApprentice especially the Artistic Principles of VFX playlist 👌

[@JaiUjjwal]

@@onetupthree Thanks ! Amazing video about integrating the VFX with the world building, opened a completely new avenue for me to think about.

@@JaiUjjwal thanks as well ! glad i could help out 👌

[@RahStahMon]

Me: This is amazing, I've leveled up Me again: my game is set in space :(

[@onetupthree]

@@RahStahMon could be a fun challenge to figure out how you can apply these to that environment 👀

[@2coolGaming]

Please use darkmode slides. Its so jarring going between the dark world scene and the bright slides.

[@onetupthree]

fair point 🤔

@@onetupthree thanks for considering it. Keep up the good work

time to 3d model my own crack

hell yeah crack

[@maciek5924]

But be really careful with camera shake. It makes a lot of people feel physically sick. At least add an option to disable it otherwise they won't be able to play your game
