The effect looks really cool! Love the use of the "shockwave" distortion at the end, but I'm surprised you didn't use a similar technique for the world distortion at the charge up stage of the attack.
it looks amazing man, but if you really want the explosion to feel epic, you should add some impact frames, those really help to sell the effect that youre looking for
What's up good sir, professional VFX Artist here. I really love the way you're documenting your learning path, as well as a great many of the solutions you came up with for the different challenges presented. Not only is the final result visually appealing, but it has that feeling of satisfaction that is often the most important of the many 'secret sauces' required to create compelling VFX. The colours are strong and striking without being oversaturated, the shapes are clear and the textures aren't too noisy. Overall, this is a great recreation of the ability and I'd call this a success. Ship it 👌
just a question , is it possible to make impact frames in 3d animations ? because one right after the shot would have made it divine, (of course not that its not already )
@@AmineSidki-e4h Since this particular shot has a static camera, you can physically draw a flash frame or similar and have it appear in front of everything. If this needed to happen from any angle, you could modify the colors of all elements or do a post-process shader
@@ClassicDev123Ohhhhh, lil bro seems to be jealous... putting a 🤓 emoji makes you seem so pathetic. Bro was saying good work, and sharing his knowledge as another person in the same business. You are so jealous I can feel it!!!
What's missing is the black hole lensing effect and hue shift - I'd have started with a physically accurate Interstellar-esque black hole shader tbh. But in terms of overall visual fidelity this kinda shows up the limitations of tricks like scrolling textures across spheres etc. Versus the anime using real volumetrics and fluids and lightning simulations rendered in Houdini etc.
The amount of Impact you added was really good! I would love for you to discover IMPACT FRAMES :D If you step through the original you can see a frame or 2 where the frame goes black and white This create a ton of impact for the viewer!
This is awesome, I really love that you share your work process and talk about the different struggle-points that you encounter as you go along. I think one thing that might push the impact of the animation overall would be to have the effects speed up as the sphere is accelerating away from the character. That way, it would look like the inside is gaining energy and becoming more volatile as it's flying outwards.
thats a cool idea! doing them by hand is hard so you could try looking for one that someone already made or make everything white but the character and the energy ball (wich will be black like a shodow) and create lighting randomly all over their surface so it looks distorted, just for a few frames.
This is by far the best you've done, the little details in the lightning and the wind trails not to mention the refraction sphere is perfect. the only other way to enhance the "impact" would be an impact frame itself. which for 3D would be annoying to do and is why films like spiderverse or puss in boots does impact frames in 2D drawn over the 3d
Ah. I know what is missing from these. Anime has impact frames. Usually just a bright white frame where the screen flashes once before the actual thing happens. There's usually the actual effect displayed in black for a moment too. The impact frame is really important. And I think you could benefit a lot from adding them. Even if that's just throwing a shadowless white plane in front of the camera for a moment to imitate it. Overall everything is good. That's my only critique.
This final rendering is masterful. The video is also very well put together, and the way you tell the story of the creative process is really captivating. Very, very good work! If I may say so, even if the final rendering was incredibly accurate and very well executed, I think that a big crack in the ground as the sphere passed through would have made the final composition even spicier than it already is 🔥
it's always stimulating to see when the boundary between something that looks cheap and something actually immersive is crossed (event tho it's a continuum, so you can't really draw a clear line) nice job
8:30 ish mark, i feel like having the particles swirl was way cooler and didnt make it too noisy, it helps show how powerfully the the ball is spinning
It looks super cool... I'm not a professional GFX expert or animation expert, but I was at the edge of my seat while watching this video expecting you to add some impact frames. It was the first thing that came to my mind when you said you were missing some kick at the part where Gerald launched hollow purple. It would have a lot more spice if it was added, if you're interested, look it up. overall though, I can see this being in an official Jujutsu Kaisen game.
This is brilliant. Also both my favorite things, learning tips and tricks to improve my own work by watching people excel at it, and Jujutsu Kaisen haha
The effect looks really cool, but take it from an FX animator, it would have been even better if you studied the rules of animations (captain obvious, ready to serve!) The timing could be improved (the ball needs to leave faster) and I'd add a scale overshoot when it launches Good luck! I'll learn from you too in the meantime
The original is punchy cause of impact frames, Extremely fast, black and white frames that last milliseconds but they give so much power to something! Usually one or two frames, you don’t really see it but you feel it.
I don’t know if this helps, but if it is possible in the future you can make the ball carve out the floor to make it cooler, like the ball it erasing the floor
also, you could add impact frames to make the punch feel stronger, and in the hollow purple animation, when the purple is growing it has a spherical distortion behinnd it that warps the light like in a black hole
Love the video but why did'int you do like a ground breaking or shattering simulation or distruction. That would make it feel more like a anime attack.
to make it even more punchy, you could've also replicated the anime by stopping time for a little bit and make the scene black and white for that time. Anyways even without that the animation is super clean and the vfx are very cool
14:45 Laziness is a superpower. People who put effort into things often waste boatloads of time, never truly learning that perfection is the enemy of the good. Lazy people go "Ugh, that sounds hard", and over a lifetime find thousands of ways to do anything with the minimal amount of effort necessary.
looks great, however I suggest you use the same idea from the dragon ball z one, of breaking the terrain such as the street and buildings (even in the iconic anime cubes), this also gives realism of where that debris under the ball is coming from
I think this looks amazing. A solid 9/10. Now this is coming from someone that doesn’t do vfx, so you can roast me and tell me I don’t know anything and have no right to “criticize.” But I think a couple things that I feel could push this into a 10/10 has to to do with some small details. I think that the lighting should have branches like it does in real life. Also be more curved. Because they did look a little flat and stiff. Another thing I noticed when watching the original is that there is a blue aura around the sphere. But that’s more of a nitpick. And lastly, you can see the space distorting and spiraling around the ball. Now idk how you would do that in 3D, but I think it would be cool to see. So yeah, overall I think pretty much everything else is perfect. So the countless little layers and details that I didn’t talk about are absolutely mind blowing to me. It’s just a few small details I wanted to point out. Anyway, absolutely amazing animation man
Ohh this came out so good!! There is a way to do "ease in" and "ease out" while making the animation? Cuz it would feel way more cooler than already is, and add more "speed variation"! Its a cool and not so complicated principle of animation :D
This was so cool! If i were doing somthing like this, I might add the ripple effect thing to the smoke trails- but thats just me. Love the work you do, so very cool
it would be really cool if instead of adding a slow mo for the punchiness you added a impact frame, by making everything black and white for a milisecond
Definitely love the quality over quantity. I loved both this video and your other 3D anime effects as well, but personally I think I preferred this video over the last one. I liked seeing you put more time into one affect than trying to make several. I think this effect turned out amazingly. Love that you aren't afraid of getting things wrong at first and do look to be "perfect", trying again later. Don't give up on yourself or your skill. You are doing great. signed, a weeb that knows nothing of animation lol
here is a tip for animation: in blenedr u can import images and videos for reference just take the clip u wanna animate slap it on to blender and align ur rigged model to the anime charecter or whatever ur trying to animate . This makes it insanely easier

Just a suggestion, how about impact frames, not sure how you would be able to do that but it would leave a greater impression in the animation
A cool way to do impact frames is to do a quick burst of powerful light and shake the screen really hard for a moment!

Hella good improvement from the last vid, good work bro
Will could have been better if you could have added red and blue and then make the 2 collide to make the hollow purple like in JJK!
1:35 That reminds me of the Rasengan lol
That was rasengan
That was sick nah how hard was it cause it took almost like 1000days to do that i can’t imagine myself doing what you did
Dude This looks great !!! adding Impact frames before it launches would have been a cherry on top tho xD
The 2X lightning looks HORRIBLE (but when he turned off the 2X speed it looked REALLY GOOD)
Your the best
8:30 ish mark, i feel like having the particles swirl was way cooler and didnt make it too noisy, it helps show how powerfully the the ball is spinning

Damn that's pretty cool.
Honestly the lvl of detail you have mastered now is unparalleled… This is Absolutely INSNAE !!! 😮
MAKE IT SO LIGHT WARPS AROUND IT LIKE A BLACK HOLE. u can see that in the real scene where light bends around the orb/ball
If you want to do energy balls or energy and fire related attacks Vfx in 3D, there’s also EmberGen which is really good
The original is punchy cause of impact frames,
Extremely fast, black and white frames that last milliseconds but they give so much power to something!
Usually one or two frames, you don’t really see it but you feel it.
This was great! I had this idea to replicate the "curse energy" using a translucent blue flame like texture and a deep dark ink outline in UE.
I don’t know if this helps, but if it is possible in the future you can make the ball carve out the floor to make it cooler, like the ball it erasing the floor
You should do Boros' Collapsing Star Roaring Cannon.
also, you could add impact frames to make the punch feel stronger, and in the hollow purple animation, when the purple is growing it has a spherical distortion behinnd it that warps the light like in a black hole
Love the video but why did'int you do like a ground breaking or shattering simulation or distruction. That would make it feel more like a anime attack.
*old spice tune*
Amazing, would be cooler if you did the whole reversal red and amplification blue fusing before the purple
I reccommend adding impact frames!
PERFECT
cursed clash qctually does this hollow purple cutscene really well
would've been so much better if it had impact frames but i still think you did an amazing job
BRO THIS IS WORTH THE WATCH DESERV TO BE AN ANIMTOR ON MAPPA YOU EARNED MY SUB!
to make it even more punchy, you could've also replicated the anime by stopping time for a little bit and make the scene black and white for that time. Anyways even without that the animation is super clean and the vfx are very cool
Chef cooked again 🔥
- sound is missing tho.
6:28 is literally me every time I try to start making a game and run into any minor problem
It's incredible how you manage to explain things and not in a single moment make me feel confused.
The Refraction in the end make the whole scene a lot more cool
i made this big ball using Unitys particle system. a grrreeeat system for making particles in unity.

I know nothing about vfx or any of the “node” and “mesh” talk but I was thoroughly entertained. The end result was tough!!!! Gojo is proud
It's so cool but I think if you had put the red and blue balls in the way they mix it would have been perfect but that alone is a great achievement
"What could go wrong?"
"Just don't burn down ur PC"
There is one thing your missing but this is INSANELY GOOD u need more rock particles to Make it more flashy but overall its good

Man that shock wave trick was a clever move
I would have added more lightning
It would be cooled if the red and blue xombined and turned to that purple!you still made beautiful animation,what an art...cheff kiss
impact frame would help with punchiness
You should do the scene when Tanjiro cuts off the spider moms head btw I luv your vids❤️
Pls make the ball move faster and with speed blur I feel it would make the move feel even more powerful
The way it went forward extra effort for that really paid off ❤❤
U NEED TO ADD THE BLACK AND WHITE FLASH TO MAKE THE EXPLOSION COOLER
This was the best of all till now
one thing i noticed is that in the anime, the ball grows and then shrinks a likkle bit emphasizing the force it exerts
No hate it’s really good but you forgot to add red and blue going together that makes hallow purple
You can already tell it’s Gojo useing hollow purple 😂😂 0:13
"and then i made it purple" al ways get me 🤣🤣🤣
