A far too underestimated masterpiece. The footage is incredibly realistic, the melody harmonizes perfectly with this wonderful voice. 👏

[@121GigawattProductions]

I can listen to that voice all day.

[@SAideRsaY]

Would love to see a making of! Awesome work!

[@ThemBakerboys]

yes please

[@TheFireNoodle]

Would be cool to see. But really we can already get an idea of what they did from the description.

[@SgtZima]

@@TheFireNoodle It would be nice to see a more detailed breakdown of how all the packages were used together.

This is such an amazing beautiful piece of work, kudos 🤩🤩

[@NestGFX_]

Looks so realistic

[@RogueWild]

Mindblowing 🤯 This is by far the best digital environment I saw (except movies). I would sell my soul for a tutorial of creating at least 1 of these scenes Brilliant work 👏🏻

This cinematic is incredible, I hope more people see it. I have been developing a small GPU based terrain generator for Blender for a couple of years and this is so inspirational! Great job all!

[@kot1ko]

omg, it's gonna be in Blender?

[@3d_mihai]

How's it going? Can we see a demo or something?

[@TerrainNodes]

@@kot1ko oops, just saw your question. It is already available, search for Terrain Nodes!)

[@VideoRealmMedia]

Truly spectacular... I would love to see a behind-the-scenes video. :)

[@SteveWarner]

Excellent demo of what the software can do. A lot of the details appear to be Megascans similar to what we see in UE4/UE5. I see Quixel and Speedtree in the credits. It would be helpful to have a shot breakdown that details what each software contributed to the final shot.

[@alexseleniar]

I just keep coming back to watch it! It's perfectly perfect

[@ATOMVISUAL]

that's amazing ! so much details ! looks like reality ! hands down !

[@randomtopology]

It does not matter where you are as an artist or how hard you tried to improve your work; videos like this are a true inspiration. It makes you forget about slipping and restart. This is legendary and underrated. I just got a year sub on the OTOY bf bundle, and I can't wait to start learning the software Congrats, guys; you just got a long-time fan

[@strotoven]

Gorgeous work. Simply Stunning!

[@lennart5738]

Awesome shortfilm :) Thanks WC and Aaron

[@MrMaidenHell]

Stunning! Excellent narration!

[@dylankuzmick3122]

This video is absolutely phenomenal and is everything I'm hoping to achieve someday myself. That said, could we get a video on how these terrains were textured, or include it as part of a breakdown video? I'm not sure which software/techniques to follow, there's not a lot of information out there right now but it's so essential to actually be able to use my beautiful World Creator terrains. Is it all from masks in World Creator or were there additional steps?

[@emimeemio]

Wow! Just wow! 🙏😳 In this world situation when I watched this short film it came to my mind: Please save our beatiful planet and humanity.

[@ActiveRendering]

Amazing work. Congrats Stefan and Team!

[@ExactSerious]

Mindblowing work!!

[@DonnieMaynardChristianson]

Absolutely beautiful film and message.

Tutorial? Project files? Anything? When I open up World Creator, I can't get anything that even comes close to this. Actually, it might as well look like mine craft.

[@SmilingAi]

😂😂😂😂😂 me too. When I saw this trailer I thought I will make this very easily with world creator then ur cmnt reaches me 😂😂😂

[@ionascugeorge7103]

It was modelled in world creator and rendered in cinema4d or octane

[@SmilingAi]

@@ionascugeorge7103 nice tutorial

[@Vandalae]

@@SmilingAia lot of it has to do with how well u layer your textures, texture selection.

[@sebastianblue8688]

Thanks for finally posting it!

[@RnBoy15]

Please give us a long tutorial how did you approach any of these scenes, and the process you went through to get this realistic results. It would be an invaluable resource for us.

[@xpez9694]

all of the close up terrain with rocks and such was probably Quixel megascans. The far off mountains were World creator with their splat mattes used to render the realistic rock, erosion detail and snow fall.. speedtree for the trees of course... managing the file sizes has to do with the GPU.. probably used 3090s 24gb of memory is great for this. And each scene was probably handled with proxy data for forests and grass.. and VDBs for the clouds... if you do a search on all of these items quixel c4d workflow Speedtree c4d workflow.... World creator, octane c4d workflow you will be able to get your head around what is needed. Its really a testament to how far rendering and online resources and the power of modern workstations have come in the last 10 years! we are in a era where photoreal is standard now and very achievable just from watching online tutorials if you already have the basics of 3d software in your skill set.

[@BetaFilms]

@@xpez9694 It's the way Aaron Westwood has been able to use all those tools together that make this a masterpiece. Rendering this on a single 3090 would probabaly take a year lol

[@xpez9694]

@@BetaFilms Long sequences usually go to online GPU farm. I cant imagine building up huge scenes and rendering locally. But the 24 gb is great for preview large scenes on the IPR. No doubt Mr. Westwood is talented. all of workflows are already on You tube. Even lighting and comping. Unless he usually makes tutorials I wouldn't count on it happening..LOL. good luck! thats kind of a tall ask. Because it is really a lot of work.
