You are doing something right. You are my favorite content creator in this genre. The videos are understandable, whatever you're working on, you always explain everything well. They are easy to follow and easy to learn from them.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

That's so nice of you! Thanks! :D

[@Serphalack]

Congratz and good luck to you in your indie game endeavor ! I'm one of those who followed your teachings, and I landed a VFX job in the industry about 2 years ago :) As a hobbyist game maker too, I can relate to what you say about the parallel between VFX and making a game, everything you said in this video is true man! Thanks for giving so much to the community ♥ Cheers!

[@jasonwilliams8730]

Thanks for all the great tuts all the time

[@pathosz]

You have the best VFX resources I have ever found. Thanks a lot for sharing what you know, will get your courses soon to learn more. SUPER helpful for aspiring solo game devs like me

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thanks! Glad I can make the difference. Good luck on your learning journey!

[@gamingshowerthoughts9723]

Thanks for your videos I'm trying to become I guess a generalist and - you probably know this but - you are absolutely the #1 channel for VFX stuff.

[@kiki00rara]

Thank you for always nice videos✨

[@mathieuRakoto]

I am a student among 30K student, I learned a lot of things thanks to Gabriel. He's a very good teacher in his Udemy course and in his tutorials on youtube. Happy to have someone like him in our community ! Ps : I like motivation video like this !

[@bagboybrown]

I watch all your videos bro, there's only a couple devs I found worth watching and you're #1

[@andrewalexart]

Thanks for your tuts man, they are helping a lot, especialy for indie devs

[@rikrishshrestha5421]

You're not just doing it right. You're doing it very very right and better than others. I've been subscribed to ur channel since u had ~2k subscriber & i used to wonder how come game devs don't watch ur vids and thought I was the one of the idiots who needed to learn vfx But now seeing 100k+ subs , I can say you deserved it , since the start.

[@wolfeygamedev1688]

Best Unity VFX Channel hands down.

[@davidjak8516]

I'm going to try my man

[@101touchapps]

hello David nice to see you have a new video style! loving it. i never got to say thanks. been learning from you for over 5 years now. so. Thanks!

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Who is David? :p Really nice of you to stop by and say thanks, means a lot! :D

[@KingArokh]

Hello Gabriel. I am studying software engineering and while I learned Unity and can code to a certain degree I really wanted to improve asset related work for game development. VFX interests me the most and I fell in love with your tutorials! Thank you so much for showing us new things frequently. If I make a suggestion I would really love to see more conceptual videos for more intermediate learners. Like how can I create a new effect with my own ideas/knowledge and what key principles there are to evaluate and to include into my animation.

[@kendavis8948]

I thoroughly recommend Gabriel's tutorials. His tutorials helped me achieve my degree and am now in the industry. Thanks so much Gabriel, couldn't have done it without your help.

[@dpxfpv]

How long did it take you from stsrting the course to land a job?

[@JayadevHaddadi]

Love you Gabriel!! To help others is a blessing itself :) ❤

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thanks for saying that, it's a very nice observation!💙

[@Skillsup_gameVFX]

Maybe I'm not get work yet, but I'm really grateful for all your tutorials and video. Without them, I doubt that would choose this path. Hi from Ukraine!

[@endaevor427]

Long is the time I was asking you for some advices back in 2017 for our graduation project when I was in school. Shipped a few games since then. And we just shipped Dead Space Remake. Again: Thanks man!

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

This are the awesome stories I like to hear about, thanks for sharing your experience and glad to have helped! 👍 Your hard work paid off, well done! And congrats on recently shipped Dead Space, always loved it, gotta try the remake!

[@mofodumbas]

"Right?" Right sir! 🙇‍♂

[@jonascarvalhodearaujo8038]

I'd appreciate more videos like this one, yeah! :}

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Great, that's good to know! I'm planning a few more :)

[@zendrawings]

That was really motivational. I'm working as CFX artist for movies. I've been lacking of motivation for some time. I feel I wanted to change for video games as 3D artist but you make me want to do VFX, Can I work for you? Hahaha 😅 Bref, thanks for this video 😊

[@alec_almartson]

I am very grateful to you, because by sharing your knowledge and work here on KZbin you (and other masters, such as Jason Weimann, Hugo Cardoso -Code Monkey-, etc ) have helped me and other people out to advance in fulfilling our dream of becoming GameDev... it requires lots of motivation and Discipline (and brains...) to do this. Thank you. Have a great week, always

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thank you for saying that, glad I can help a fellow game dev! Good luck with your journey, have a great week too!

Thank you 💙

[@royrich2833]

I wanna get into vfxs and make some like yours but there isn’t many good videos on youtube of it on blender and unreal to me, I really wanna learn it in both programs and im curious to know if game vfxs are good are to make and port from blender and into unreal?

[@magnusm4]

Cause 1: You get to make stuff like this. And 2: You get to look at stuff like this.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

So true :D

[@KurtStaInes]

Real Question is how much money you can make ? and You will invest on your workspace too . VFX is not a joke

[@sheenakataria1333]

Exactly scope is nothing if ur getting just 10 k a month

[@w1nnfield]

@@sheenakataria1333that’s good money

[@lucasleite1559]

Great job! Btw, I'm trying to sync an sfx of an Ice Meteors Rain VFX. I'm trying to make the sound trigger each time a particle spawns. Is there any way to do that? Really struggling here 😮‍💨

[@semikolondev]

I'm 37 years world. No experience in VFX. I've been a developer and sys admin but always wanted to work as a vfx since my 20's Is it too late?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

It's never to late. Time is relative.

[@BecomingHollow]

You ever gonna get into Unreal Engine/Niagara vfx tutorials?

[@user-bs4iz3ds9l]

Thank you very much!

[@m-ation]

hi, I watching your tutorial for a long time and it help me so much And am very proud about that so thanks very very much, so can you do a tutorial about vfx collide for example I made a fireball and I need to explosion when it collide with mesh. again thanks very much🙏☺☺

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Thanks for positive message and for the suggestion!

[@derrickokoye-wj8gs]

If your making a laser for a game is there anyway to scale it only on one side to get the effect of it moving instated of using a shader

[@derrickokoye-wj8gs]

*instead

[@user-ys6yb3rn7p]

liked, commented.

[@nyn2k259]

Nice video, I want to make 2-3sec vfx clips of characters magic skill attacks, summons etc can you point me in the right direction as too software, assets, art, tutorials etc? Thanks.

[@kamudo999]

which software should I focus for vfx? after effects, blender, nuke, unreal? unity?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

I would focus on Unity. On learning the ins and outs of the particle system. Then learn texture creation by drawing or creating them procedurally with software like Material Maker. And then learn shaders. Blender is also useful to create meshes for cool effects.

[@jenkathefridge3933]

What is a vfx artist and how do I import vfx things from blender to ue 4?

[@efemji]

i have heard this from time to time, especially from jason keyser, former riot vfx lead.. i feel like if i finish my school first will be too late to join the industry, since the rapid growth and looking demands right now is very high. What should i do? Currently also doing animation but i have more love for VFX, while they don't teach that in my school.

[@efemji]

*ps i took your course. and it's been great, and i am loving it. cheers.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Finishing school is always important, but keep on expanding your knowledge on vfx as well. Invest time on your portfolio every bit of time you can. Places like Artstation are very much looked after, by all kinds of companies. So update your portfolio with your contact, availability and your work. Look for freelance opportunities they are always a great boost on getting recognized. Good luck!

[@Dooleydingdong]

You have given me hope on starting a game company how can I get in touch with you

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Glad to inspire! Which ever social media you prefer or send me an email.

How long do you think it would take to be at junior level if you worked at it 8 hours a day?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

I've seen people get a job or a freelance opportunity after around a year of intense learning and practicing. It all depends on your portfolio. The quality of the content you put on places like Artstation (don't sleep on this one), LinkendIn, Twitter and other social media.

[@anumi1]

Am 18 I didn't even know what vfx artist was or existed would u say i would be able to be good at it and use it as a career and how long would u say it take a begginer to get to a professional level

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

You are able to make a career out of it just with the content I put out on KZbin and on Udemy, plus with lots of practice. I've seen people get a freelance job after a year or two. Depends on the persistence to learn.

[@Nomad4363]

Will this job face a lot of pressure from A.I.?

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

I think A.I. will definitely help the process of developing visual effects for games.

[@AlekseiSavchenko]

TechArtist and VFXArtist its completely not the same.

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

Yes they are different! And there's tutorials for both on the channel.

[@roydash5657]

Your course from udemy (ue4 vfx for games beginner to intermediate) Hi. I am really so sorry my questions. Sorry I am wasted your time. I can use and I can sell my game on EpicStore or Steam or any site use your VFX? I mean. If I am buying your course. I can use your VFX for my games (for commercial)... Can I create and sell my games with your amazing VFXs?? I can use and I can sell my game on steam or any site use your VFX? ​Of course I give you credit. I promise you

[@GabrielAguiarProd]

As long as you give credit it's alright. Something like VFX Artist Gabriel Aguiar, is enough for example.
