dude just opens my eye about how it should be fun and not just stick to one course , and how we should do our scene without the guilt of skippin whatever source we're learning from

[@AribaHossain-ln2js]

Can you make a full roadmap of how to become a VFX artist?

[@StewartPixels]

loved this

[@Kareem_Essam]

Keep up the great videos bro, your video quality is really good, which camera are you using?, plus I really encourage you to learn even the basics of a node based workflow like fusion or nuke, once I learned them, I feel the limitation once I use AE 😆I'm mainly a compositor so if you not interested so much in compositing and use it simply, AE is the way to go

[@BSPStudios]

Thanks a lot! I'm using the Sony alpha 6400 with the sigma 16mm f/1.4 lens. You are probably right about nuke. After effects has its limitations which is why they don't use it in the industry, but for now it works completely fine for me

[@PhilFlock]

Blender is definitely industry standard in lots of production companies. At least in LA. Might be different in other countries

[@Toraon]

Very nice!

[@Acolytemedia]

Here from Eds channel. Great video dude! Only comment I have relates to your presentation style. Although you are very clear I think your Scandinavian laid-backless to your voice may cause some issues here and there. Don't go crazy though, you don't need to become someone else but maybe get some more levels to it. Higher energy moments, quieter more intimate moments that sort of thing. I've subbed. I really loved your video. I have done blender tuts in the past and I've always loved VfX and your video just ignited the passion in me again to get back on the case with it! Thank you for your awesome video. ❤

[@BSPStudios]

Thanks a lot for your feedback! Yeah, I still need to work on my presentation skills here and there, will try to incorporate it in my next video. Only thing is that I'm actually German and not Scandinavian ;)

[@Acolytemedia]

​@BSPStudios sorry I read your accent wrong there hehe. I guessed maybe Danish as I have some Danish family who have a very laid back / chilled English speaking style. Anyway - I've been binging VFX content this morning while I should have been working haha! I'd love to reach out once my channel is up and running anyhow. I'm a music guy but always looking for KZbin friends/colleagues. X

[@BSPStudios]

No problem mate! Great to hear that you watched some VFX content. Sure, you can just reach out via instagram: @bspstudios_

[@coltonmonroe9824]

Thank you

[@groupups11]

Amazing video. The only video if you ask me that addresses the first and major problem for wannabe digital artists, where to start, there is houdini and nuke which is industry standard, there is zbrush, there is maya, there is redshift, now unreal is getting ahead, you watch so many cgi car chase videos made in so many softwares, and are confused what to learn. This video nails the coffin of confusion. BLENDER! the software has come so far, and you can learn everything there, animation, sculpting, cloth simulation, effects, liquids simulations, everything in one spot, then you can shift to softwares that are specifically designed for each process. You can then model and design characters in zbrush, add effects in houdini, animate models in blender/maya, render your scene in unreal then composite on nuke or fusion with real footage. But before ALL this, you learn each of these basics at one spot which is blender. Amazing work my man!

[@BSPStudios]

That's exactly the point, thanks a lot for your comment!

[@perzeon]

Loved this this video, thank you so much. What about using Unreal Engine, any tips/channels?

[@tejasmotionpicture]

please create more advanced tutorial series also nuke or After Effect

[@JothiS-qy2gv]

Nice best explanation good❤😊😊

[@joojosart7772]

Even in full CG scenes you should always do proper compositing to make the renders look like they actually come from a camera

[@BSPStudios]

That's true, but the blender compositor will mostly work just fine for that. Otherwise davinci resolve would work

[@akashsarkar1989]

I want to learn animation in maya 😊

bro, I prefer 3DSMAX, Maya, but for After Effects, Premiere Pro and Photoshop, those are my skills after 3D VFX, but for you, maybe it varies, maybe I like it because among you, they like Blender or Cinema 4D software, those are also good.

[@MarjuanRahmanD]

Hello can you suggest a software for low end pc i tried blender but it to laggy and it render quality not good

[@CallousCoder]

That explosion in the opening tells me that someone still needs to have a course on composting and some Houdini to add some interactive CG for the dirt hits 😂 and for compositing Israel Nuke it Davinci Fusion (I start to really like the latter and that coming from a 16 year long Nuke user).

[@BSPStudios]

Sure, I still got a lot to learn, which is why this video is only about how to start learning VFX

[@CallousCoder]

@@BSPStudios you probably do not have a nuke license but natron is basically a nuke clone (nuke without 3D compositing). And of course Davinci Fusion is also a node based compositor. Node based compositors allow a far more organized (and reusable) way to composite shots compared to AE. AE is great for motion graphics but large composites really becomes a headache. And Nuke is the defacto standard compositor, so if you’d go into VFX professionally understanding node based compositors is a definite headache start. Good luck in your VFX quest! Coming form a former professional VFX artist (compositor, technical director)

[@BSPStudios]

Yeah, I see the advantages of Nuke and also definitely want to test it in the future. But for now I'm sticking with AE, as I don't fully agree that AE is only good for motion graphics

[@CallousCoder]

@@BSPStudios oh you can achieve pretty much anything compositing wise in AE as well. The problem is that soon you have many nested comps and then finding where something is can become challenging. And when you have a similar shot it’s hard to exchange the source footage. With nuke, natron Or Davinci you just point to the different footage and it all works. Which can increase your efficiency. Also using OpenEXR out of the box (perhaps AE by now supports that too, you used to need to have a plugin) and route the channels is really powerful and clean. But for small comps with few render layers AE does fine too.

[@BSPStudios]

I totally agree, if you have big comps with a lot of pre comps in it, everything can become really messy and hard to keep track of. OpenEXR has now native support though

[@zonebomsaulang8668]

Pls I would like to know about blender rendering with another way ,kind of using rendering software. My pc is no enough cpu and gpu for rendering in blender.

[@BSPStudios]

You could use EEVEE, which is a different render engine built into blender. Its not as realistic as cycles but it renders in realtime

[@rudramukherjee9979]

I'm a freelance editor. I work in Premiere Pro. I'm now planning to learn After Effects. Can I do many things with these two softwares only? ( If I don't want to learn Blender)

[@BSPStudios]

Depends on what you want to do. You can do alot with After Effects, 3D models are the only limitation. But you can sometimes work around it with plug-ins like element 3d

[@rudramukherjee9979]

@@BSPStudios ok thanks bro

[@akyhne]

After Effects is goid for motion graphics. It sucks at 3D compositing. Use Fusion or Nuke for that. Fusion is free in DaVinci Resolve. Nuke is the industry standard ​@@rudramukherjee9979

[@rageshgovindan]

Can anyone help me understand what fusion does compared to other softwares mentioned in the video ? Since am familiar with davinci for editing and coloring , I’d like to learn Fusion . So is there any limitations on fusion that I cannot do compared to other softwares ? Also MAC studio M2 Ultra can deal with all these VFX ?

[@BSPStudios]

Fusion doesn't has as many features as After Effects and nuke but a lot of 3D artists are still using it. So if you want to use it for composting your 3D renders its a great choice, if you want to do entire shots(like the portal in the intro) a compositing software would be better

[@akyhne]

Any professional VFX artist or compositor I've asked, will give the opposite reply. Fusion can do almost anything, Nuke can do and is far superior to After Effects. AE is only strong and better for motion graphics. AE has a 2.5 D engine, while the others have a true 3D engine.

[@VictoriaHatzson]

So basically blender with after effects is the best combo for VFX?

[@BSPStudios]

At least when starting out, in my opinion

[@akyhne]

3:55 No, After Effects can't do what Nuke can. Not even close. Fusion and Nuke are way ahead, when it comes to compositing. AE is only really strong for motion graphics. The engine runs in 2.5D, while Fusion and Nuke use a 3D engine.

What is your mic brand and model number ?

[@goalplay6464]

@@BSPStudios thanks bro

[@hollaOlga]

I have found it hard to track a scene in Blender for vfx, and it doesnt` look realistic in Blender, is it better in AE?

[@BSPStudios]

AE does it automatically, so you have less control and the results might be worse. But it's also easier. Blender has the better tracker, so you could search for a tracking tutorial online. If you put in the time you can almost always get a good track. Some footage is just "not trackable" though, if there is not enough detail

[@hollaOlga]

@@BSPStudios and which software you can recommend? Or they both are essential for vfx

[@BSPStudios]

They both work hand in hand

[@engridmedia]

You were recommending ae tutorials and videocopilot wasnt the first to come out ? Wow andrew kremer .

[@n1trosl889]

Brother what pc requirements needs to this process?

[@BSPStudios]

It will be easier with good hardware, similar to a gaming pc, but you don't need the perfect hardware to start with.

[@rageshgovindan]

@@BSPStudiosHow about MAC studio M2 Ultra ?

Works great, especially for After Effects. For Blender windows would be better but the M2 Ultra still works great

It’s not about blender. It’s about the render engine itself in blender (cycles and evee). If u want realistic results, then buy a render engine such as octane, redshift, or corona. So, u can work in blender and achieve realism.
