This 3D software is changing VFX Forever!

[@jangafx]

(Nick here). Saw this in my recommended videos. I felt compelled to clarify the video as such that I didn't work at any of the studios mentioned (ILM/Blur/Ubisoft/Valve, for Half-Life), so I'm not sure where that information is from. I'm just a guy who was mad at slow tools and wanted to build something more user friendly. Barring that, EmberGen has its place in games and there are numerous film studios that use it as well. Though quality is occasionally an issue, especially with close up hero shots, we're getting better and better with every release and would encourage anyone to give EmberGen 1.1 a try. We're working hard to push the boundaries of real-time and ultimately fit into pipelines alongside the major tools like Houdini, whom I have a lot of respect for. We're expanding into other areas such as terrain generation and real-time liquids and hope to continue improving artists lives.

If you and your team combined your skills with sidefx the world will be a better place.

[@dickie_hrodebert]

Really appreciate you Nick.

[@KelVFX]

Nick, this confirms my suspicions I have had about this channel and the validity of some of the comments and research put in. I work in film and have used Embergen on a number of shots, with great results, I know I would not have been able to get the same result in Houdini given the same timeframe.

if you could explore the world of whole planets quadtree spheres (or other methods of making planets). there is NOBODY doing it ! Unity can but nobody is talking or will share code! Or you go into their markplace and look for a plugin they charge outragous money for and then dont offer support for. You want to get into the big leagues? Give game makers a user friendly way of doing whole planets with smooth (marching cube or other methods) voxels in addition to what you already offer! Explore planetary atmospheres and craters that you can dig in or destroy (voxels) THATS the holy grail bud! Think space engineers 2 or no mans sky. You like VFX right? Think space engineers + a cool looking black hole with accretion disk and gravatational lensing! just trying to help

My version on that Theophrastus quote is "The health is the most valuable asset a human has, if you waist it, you shorter TIME that you have on this planet". Great video btw. 👍

[@presto_the_editor]

I disagree, sorta. Our bodies are capable of self regeneration. If we had enough TIME, we could theoretically heal from any illness. Time is our most valuable asset because everything else hangs on it. So you're healthy? How long do you have that health for? Those kind of questions. Time is ultimately the most important

Let me know when it can do sand grain simulation that isn't just a smoke effect.

[@hallowhat]

It can't because it's Garbage 😂😅 just a false advertisement 🎉😅🤣😂

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

​@@hallowhatNope, EmberGen can make a sand simulation even though not accurate... This is not a false.

[@hallowhat]

@@cg.man_aka_kevin hahahaha 😂 I'm just trying to down bad and ruin it's quality because I'm a Maya Autodesk fan 🤗😂🤣 your really a bad boy for saving this garbage software and not standard for University

[@cg.man_aka_kevin]

@@hallowhat This software is still relatively new, whereas the industrial standard has been doing it for more than decades. So, just appreciate it...

[@hallowhat]

@@cg.man_aka_kevin then why are you using an unfinished software when you can have a standard and most common use in movie industry, 🤷🤦 Stop wasting your time and money in just an unfinished garbage, if you really like it then just Wait till this unfinished software been finished it's purpose and then that's the time you buy it for good purpose and reasonable tool 😂🤗 so for now just use finished product and that's the standard software called Maya Autodesk, 👌 OK use the Standard best Software

[@sikliztailbunch]

I work with Cinema 4D for 20 years now. Most of the time when I needed smoke/fire/explosions, I usd TFD. When embergen first came out, it looked quite promising. But then Maxon added Pyro to Cinema, which made embergen for C4D users quite obsolete. So, no matter if I use Houdini, Cinema or Maya, I already have my fluid sim on board. So I guess embergen is still interesting for Blender users or game devs. As an Octane user, I can use embergen for free, but I rarely do. Pyro has all I need

[@electro_editsss]

Any benefit of learning this over Houdini? I am planning to learn Houdini but if this has potential then i will give it a try instead

No. All you need is Houdini.

[@sridharan5172]

Bro's Thumbnail Better then Houdini 💀 Pov: EmberGen is a real-time fluid simulation tool Pyro volumetric fluid simulation package 🗿

[@zzzzzz-p2z]

Janga allows you to create fluid simulations very fast, and iterate very fast. But that's all it does. Houdini is a complete package for modeling, simulation, animation, character fx, lighting etc etc....you are here comparing apples to oranges, so much click bait on your tittles dude

[@learner6010]

I know u r houdini user who spend alot of time to learn houdini. That's why your mind is in decline mode ! He is comparing simulations Vs simulations. And he started his video with the firat quote that i also wanna remind you- "The most VALUABLE asset is TIME" and houdini suck at this quote !

[@zzzzzz-p2z]

I'm actually using both blender and Houdini, it has nothing to do with my mind being in decline mode, I'm talking from experience that's all. Now if you can't see beyond your narrow minded brain that's on you.

[@learner6010]

@@zzzzzz-p2z may i see ur portfolio ?

[@stripesfilmszm]

​@@zzzzzz-p2z The point of the video isn't what software is the most complex, it's about value for Time from simulation and that's what emergen's goel is..if complex and multi use is your thing go with Houdini's simulation,if you want something with fast results go with ember

[@MrlegendOr]

​@@zzzzzz-p2z Are you really comparing a 28 year old software with a 6 year old software? What JangaFX have achieved in 6 years is amazing. At this rate it is only a matter of time before they reach the same lvl as Houdini🙃

[@craigbaker6382]

Modding is not MODELLING it is MODIFYING changing vs making meshes

[@alexmanager-q7s]

thanks

[@matadorley]

This is not Unreal.... This is Ember Gen, a VFX software

[@nGons]

I started to hate this channel because of the clickbaity titles. Information is also not correct.

its really not when it comes to Real life VFX and backplates its amazing for games tho

please tell about the AI tools

[@wtony101]

Sims in this clip looks really bad - gamelike. Houdini is the king.

[@plainpixels]

Not saying anything about it comparing to Houdini, but it's a real-time engine. If you want high end renders you have to export alembic and render elsewhere like with embergen.
