The Flood Animation Breakdown (Blender)

This video breaks down the process of making my short Animation 'The Flood'. Everything from scene building, lighting, and mood is covered in this.
Here is the download link for the scene (sorry for the large file size)

This is why I love blender , it gives everyone the ability to share their stories.

[@direkfrancis]

Blender got to be one of the best communities out there. So much content!

[@neilgooge]

This really highlights what can be achieved with a solid eye for visuals and a good imagination. Anyone with even the tiniest amoun of Blender knowledge (like myself) would look at his and think it must be so far beyond their reach... watch the tutorial and think... Dang... I could do that. Hugely inspiring and really impressive. Really hope you stick with the channel, amazing work.

[@lanewallace.]

Thank you so much! I’m glad that I’ve given you inspiration it really means a lot. I will definitely stick with the channel and continue going forward :)

[@neilgooge]

@@lanewallace. Thats great news... Blender can be extremely overwhelming in these early days, and it's quite easy to get disheartened when your donut doesn't look quite right ;) :D But to see someone break down something of this quality and show what can be achieved with some thought and imagination, it's hugely helpful so far as sticking with it and pushing on. Even more so than a lot of these in depth tutorials on how to achieve perfect topology and the like... as helpful as they are of course. So thanks again and I certainly look forward to more.

@@neilgooge A year later, and I couldn't agree more

[@shadowalker6791]

I know this is a year later, but I wanted to say this for anyone else who sees this. I think what makes this feeling, is that as experienced artists, you want everything to be high quality. However, watching this video you see that the only high quality assets are those directly in front of the camera. Everything else is low poly, low res, but because they are obscured by clever positioning of the camera, good lighting, and things like fog and good composition, it lets the mind fill in the blanks. Putting effort into the stuff right in front of the camera, and let everything else only be the quality it needs to get the idea across.

[@Herdetzy]

This is so useful to see. Seeing it as a set is great. Great explanation! Looking forward to watching more!

[@lanewallace.]

Thank you!

[@zaks7]

As someone who's new to blender, it's amazing to see this much insight into the decision making and workflow towards making a final render like this. Thank you so much!

[@charmawow]

As a newbie to Blender this year, it’s tutorials like this that I really enjoy discovering.

[@suop1234]

that white emissive building trick is sick, i'll be stealing that -- cheers!

[@ishannagar7908]

Thanks for the breakdown. As a beginner myself, it's really useful.

[@valtabohm]

Man, the fact you took the time to make this whole enviroment, make this video and ALSO share this project is just awesome! Many thanks for this. Gotta say the cinematics are incredible here. Nice sense of design and style.

[@lanewallace.]

Thank you so much man! It means a lot 🙏

[@carbonanimationproductions6537]

i love the way you model these low poly items and texture them with images that's so dope bro

[@lanewallace.]

Thanks! It definitely makes it easier to add a lot to a scene without spending forever modeling things you might not even notice

[@carbonanimationproductions6537]

@@lanewallace. right!

[@FaddyVFX]

Good to know, thanx gor taking the time to explain and demonstrate the process.

[@siastheyoutuber6893]

“They’re cold, they’re lonely. And I photo scanned my sister and placed her in the scene…” This word transition made me laugh for some reason

[@ukprez730]

Fantastic breakdown, lighting, atmosphere and camera angle... I need a small tip ...is there way I can make boats bob automatically on ocean modifiers? like how we use shrink wrap modifers...But I just want to avoide manually keying frames and rotation...

[@cyber_robot889]

Me: - Hey, Lane Wallace how you did that? Lane: - Hahah, Ian Hubert are doing Brrrrrrr

[@zana3d]

I loved how the yellow lamp gave the composition too much warmth and "hope" so you pulled it out of the scene. Awesome! Thank you for sharing with us your workflow and thought process. Liked and subbed.

[@frosti8787]

Wowzers, in just a few weeks you’ve gained thousands of subscribers! That’s really great, you deserve it! I can totally imagine you becoming the next VFX mastermind.

[@lanewallace.]

I know, it’s so crazy and I can’t believe it and I am so thankful. And thank you so much! You deserve some more attention because that pipe tutorial was soooo helpful and I bet that a lot of people could find it very useful. You should post it on Blender Nation because more people would see it :)

[@ChillieGaming]

ya you are right. I have a question bro Could me link me some videos or websites where i can learn to get cinematic look and learn more about how to achieve it and play around with different settings

[@VotechsDigital]

wow thx for the tips i was really confused on environment design but one tip i learn is model things that will be visible to the camera

[@StarCats]

my brain. omg I should make it. My computer: i7 9750H, 16 RAM, Gtx1650... amazing work. there is a lot of effort. thank you

[@michaelhere985]

This was so helpful, thank you so much. this is the kind of stuff keeps me motivated

[@lanewallace.]

I’m glad I could help :)

[@zaizen7820]

Wow! This is a really good render! You can almost feel the rain! Was wondering if you have any tips on achieving "cinematic look"

[@lanewallace.]

Thank you so much! And I think that color is a big part of getting the “cinematic look”. You don’t want things to look to dull but you also don’t want colors to be way to vibrant and saturated.

[@zaizen7820]

@@lanewallace. I see, I gotta do more research on color and composition. Looking forward for more content from you! Keep up the good work!

[@lanewallace.]

Thank you! And good luck on the research

[@ktzeabyss307]

@@lanewallace. So did you deliberately use any method to unify the colors in the picture to make them look more harmonious?

[@lanewallace.]

Yes I try my best :)

[@quantessenz]

Your voice is very calming. Nice render work also and thank you for the breakdown. Very interesting for me, because I am not into render yet, but I always think about trying when I see videos like yours.

This so cool man, danke

[@simongarrettmusic]

I downloaded your project file (thanks a lot for that, very generous of you) one thing I did notice is that if a project file is using a file path to write the video that doesn't exist on your computer (it won't) then it just sits there dumbly doing nothing while you wonder if it's rendering - it's not and you'll need to set your source path to somewhere on your computer.

[@MadpolygonDEV]

sorry noob question, how is your evee viewport on the right over exposed and all but the left preview one is really awesome?

This looks sooo Good!!! Nice work💥 Btw what about environment? Did you use any environment texture?

[@lanewallace.]

Thank you! And yes I used an hdri but I had the power to 0.1 so that it was very subtle

[@ChillieGaming]

@@lanewallace. which hdri did u use pls tell

[@eastrasmann]

very cool👍 IDK if you take fan suggestions for SFM but I'm wondering if you are possibly down to create an animation using the season 2 model of Kenny and season 4 or season 1 Lilly models from TWD (Telltales the walking dead) videogame series. Or if you cannot find lilly use Jane. The idea could be where Kenny and Lilly or instead Jane go on a hiking on foot adventure walking around exploring an outside OR INSIDE map or whatever and kill a group of zombies together melee style or with fists.make it as long or as short as you want. use the Kenny player model and npc. Then search up lilly player model and npc or search up Jane player model and NPC..

amazing

[@grandicon9735]

what is the technique called for extruding photos and i dint get t the part on hoe you added extra texture to them..

[@lanewallace.]

There is not a official name for the technique, and to ad more detail to the textures you just put the image into the roughness, specular, and normal with a bump in between

[@noormouli7630]

Hello bro the download link does not exist now. Can u plz upload it ?

Can you reupload the file and update the link please? Thank you

can i see the node setting for the water and the detail on building surface at 5:43 thankss

[@dotnexdotnex4545]

or its already full node setting? just image texture, coloramp and bump?

Amazing tutorial! New sub here! Weird thing, I tried the nodes you used for the plane (water), didn't get anywhere close to the same effect! Any thoughts how come?
