"Keep your mind open. Don't blind yourself with a Single idea", I loved that!
I love the documentary style of these breakdowns
Absolutely mindblowing! The amount of work that goes into creating a fascinating render is the reason why I have so much respect for every 3D artist.
i dont care
@@yousof8546 ur so cool
@@bagel011 what
@@yousof8546 Yeah, nobody cares about your opinion
@@yousof8546 then why tf did u comment?
VRAM is actually video ram, virtual ram (swap) is space on your hard drive you can use as ram when you don't have enough, although it is much slower than actual sticks of ram. The ram that video cards have built in (that you would use for stuff like this) is video ram.
Virtual memory actually refers to the address space each process has access to, and is way larger than actual available memory ( 250 terabytes in size on typical 64bit machines). It's an abstraction of physical memory that allows programmers to not worry about which addresses actually have memory behind them, and which addresses are used by what program - instead, each process simply gets all addresses. The operating system then maps the virtual address space to actual physical memory, either RAM, hard drives or other locations behind the scenes. This mapping is organized in discrete memory blocks called pages, and depending on whicj program is running and what memory it accesses, these pages are swapped in and out of memory. The region in storage used by linux to store pages that aren't currently in use and can be removed from RAM is called the swap area. :)
@@Merthalophor Thanks for going in detail on virtual memory that makes a lot of sense :)
So by increasing vram by using normal ram I can get faster renders for free ?
@@nemesis2477 No, my point was the VRAM C4D is talking about is video ram, which is different than normal RAM. Nothing except getting additional video cards or upgrading your current one can change that because it's built in to the GPU, although an integrated GPU will share normal RAM with the system because it doesn't have any and a dedicated GPU may try to use system RAM as a last resort if it runs out, but if that's the case it would already be doing it by default and probably with no way to turn it off (I don't know the stats on how much slower it is to use RAM sticks to communicate with the GPU, but it is significantly slower because of the travel distance, busses, and areas data needs to pass through or be sent through the system instead of being right on the board. For example, the CPU might need to coordinate data transfer which would take up extra cycles vs it being in the GPU where it could be used immediately and you would also need to use up some of the PCIE slot for this, which has a slower transfer rate. It is much slower using a hard drive when you run out of system RAM as well; the maximum transfer speed of DDR3 RAM is 10+ times faster than the max speed of an SSD aka the best an SSD can do is around 9% of the best RAM sticks can do, and an HDD is about 2% hypothetically).
Clint : story is important
Also Clint : let's make him walk towards no floor
Lol u got me
Also he is struggling to pull... nothing.
@@DiegoM265 amazing work but i don't get it why doing a pulling motion when nothing is pulled. Probably its work in progress and he should pull something later on.
@@DiegoM265 he wanted to pull a robot like a broken one but he didnt have time. You can see it at his masterclass episodes
that is exactly what bugged me about some of the renders in the competition as well
The render is super cool. But one thing that bothered me was the motion of the man doesn't match the load he is carrying. It feels more like he is dragging a load, not carrying one.
I know I'm being picky, but that's what i felt. Anyways kudos for the render!
It was part of the challenge he entered
@@ManningMoo he made the challenge
He was tired maybe
Yes i know its part of the challenge but the scene doesn't match with the motion, that's all I'm saying.
Yea he botched the character physics a bit. That dude would literally fall over if he was that leaned forward.
I was so sad when clint left the Corridor crew but after seeing the content he is providing alone I am so happy man this is way better lol
Result is technically amazing and love that you put yourself into the video and the self scanned textures are great! But one thing that bothers me with this (and many of the other artists) clip(s) is the character's walk suggests he is pulling/pushing hard (just like the mocap). The weight of the backpack doesn't justify the extreme tilt forward either. Also he doesn't seem to be stopping before falling off
he should be falling on his nose after every single step. but the rest is sick :)
This video is more than profoundly valuable for anyone who’s interested in becoming a 3D artist
Even for people who aren’t interested becoming a 3D Artist, checked the whole video! Really wanted to know how artists do create animations: workflow, tips! Valuable informations!
except for that virtual ram part.
How can you make money from this as a hobby?
I am a 23 year old business grad but want to get into 3d animation as a hobby. However, I know it is expensive so want to make some money on the side. What are the avenues?
@@hmk299 a lot of 3D modellers will sell their work on places like Sketchfab or Gumroad as assets. However, you can also make addon’s for 3D programs like blender, and sell those addon’s to other blender users (which can be very profitable).
There is also freelancing for companies and businesses for assets or animations, among a plethora of other things that are 3D related (making and selling textures, tutorials, etc).
3D modeling doesn’t need to be expensive. blender is a very powerful, free program, and is quickly making its way into being implemented in the industry.
The expensive part is having a capable computer
@@Arithen would you say something like 3d modelling is worth investing time into as a hobby and then using as side hustle alongside a fulltime corporate job? Or do you think it will be very difficult to balance? Because it does seem like a very time-consuming thing.
If there's one thing I'd do differently is the mocap. By looking at it the first time you can tell it looks like the character is pulling a heavy weight and not carrying it in its back like the image suggests. Not like I can do anything about it with my 4GB RX 570 though LOL
But for everything else this is an outstanding job. I wish I had a rig powerful enough to try this!
There are decent laptops with 3080's now for $2000.
I bought one and it has no problem with 3D work or VFX work.
So insanely cool that our elements played a part! Thank you for this great video! 🔥
Many thanks! Big fan :)
Next lvl rendering.. makes me love octane render more!
Your work is mind blowing and inspiring! Creativity and artistry to the max! Love the concept art work and using the displacement textures (oh no long render times haha). This tutorial and breakdown is like taking a full blown art class. So nicely done and a big THANKS!!! :)
Keep in mind that the "skill level" and "programs of choice" at 00:23 are in no way connected, they are just random examples.
Your work is inspiring and I love the art/photo books! If you don't mind, would you be able to list the names of the art books with photos from the Japanese Sewers, Lost China Towns and the book of photos from Hashima? I'd love to have a look! 😍
Love this video and loved your work on corridor, keep doing what you’re doing!
This presentation blew away all my expectations of how it was going to turn out. You have a masterpiece within a masterpiece my good man. Glad I started following your channel when you left the show.
I'm just beginning to learn Blender and this was an amazing breakdown.
Everyone has their own style of presentation and perspective on method, I really dig your approach.
Their are so many great creatives out there with their own takes on the process, but you definitely have a unique voice and offer a different perspective .
I love this Passion of yours towards art, it's for people like you that help me and many others like me to keep moving and progressing ahead.
Your s**t is so incredible. Every single time I check in on your channel, I pick a random video and just watch to be inspired. I love art, was an aspiring artist in my younger days, and don't so much as doodle any more. I find your work so inspiring. It fills me with awe and wonder. It gives me chills at times. I know how what you share with us makes me and other people feel doesn't pay the bills, but you're living this part of your life on purpose and with purpose...that's got to mean something in the Grand Scheme!
Thank you for taking the time to share your world with the rest of the world. It has meaning for many of us.
The level of passion you’ve put into this render is on level with your passion for teaching others, you can hear it in your voice.
You’re videos are a pleasure to watch.
Excellent work. Just an appreciation, if I may, the animation is a bit weird as it seems that the character is pulling weight, rather than carrying a load on his back. Maybe it's because when you did the motion capture it was exactly what you were doing. Keep inspiring us all !!!
These breakdowns are amazing! Probably the best in terms of quality of breakdown. Keep em coming, dude! Very helpful! :D
Clint I’ve got to say I hear you about a story to develop a good render. Your inclusion of what inspires you with all the abandoned places is an interesting glimpse into development of this project. It’s great to see an artist take the time to not only show the techniques but some of the motivation behind their work.
Man, this is AMAZING!! I love these breakdowns! Very interesting and educational! Keep up the good work!
This is amazing dude! I’m really happy to have helped you with the photoscan on this video :) your stuff still continues to inspire me and I’m already looking into the idea of learning some of this myself! Always here if you ever need anything! I got your back.
-Collin
This is so epic, thank you. You have inspired me to begin playing with Blender as a hobbyist and I get so much fulfilment with just creating simple pieces, but I am looking forward to just slowly increasing the complexity of what I can accomplish.
Really good stuff Clint! This is top shelf content. I’m not even an animator, but I find myself super interested and engaged with your stuff.
Good Lord this was an epic video. Also octane renderer is looking absolutely neat, giving stunning results so easily. I need to try it out
I really love and appreciate all the stuff you've been doing on your channel Clint since you left Corridor. Your passion and dedication for your craft really comes through. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
ahhhh so good. love the smooth, on point explanations and insights. Also, it's always impressive to see that a shot that detailed can "easily" be handled by one person these days. great video!
Amazing work Clint. I really appreciate your passion and willingness to share your experience. You have fantastic eye for the detail.
These videos are super informative and we get to learn a lot.
Hoping to see more challenges and such videos in the future as well, Clint!
Dude your videos have reached a new level. The production quality is amazing. I felt like I was watching a movie. Something worth learning👍
Turned out so epic man. Octane gang! 😂
*cries in cycles*
U r the one who carried the body
@@relyucc1345 cycles x is the future :)
@@samyehya agreed
@@samyehya +1
I went to school to get my Bachelors in 3D animation to be able to do amazing things like this, but I can honestly say your videos on your channel and segments on Corridor with Wren have taught me more than school ever did. Thank you for helping keep my 3D passion alive, keep up the amazing work!!
Clint, your passion & dedication comes through so strongly in these breakdowns. Inspiring as hell!
This is like, one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. Clint, I'm so happy for you. I really admire you. God speed, my friend.
Really appreciate, the little notes Clint gives. Especially regarding taking a day or 2 on just adjusting the flags. I would have been so discouraged after seeing plenty sped up videos out there
This is so cool. I’m attempting to self-learn 3D art, but have a hard time actually becoming an advanced novice (I use Blender). This video really helped to simplify a very complicated piece. I feel inspired to continue trying to understand how to make CG renders. Again, amazing work and thank you for sharing!
Really appreciated the backstory around the inspiration that goes into the creativity aspect of CG... makes me want to learn more about this amazing field.
Your work, your walkthrough, and the challenges you are coming up against really inspire me to persevere. Thank you, thank you for sharing all this!
Amazing job. Thank you for going so in-depth with your design process.
That was absolutely mind blowing even though I watched all the streams this video also gave cool ideas and tips. Thanks and can't wait for the next challenge
You're my biggest inspiration and I love these style of videos. Thank you for making them!
Sending all the love and support from Australia homie. Xox. Youre doing so well.
the way you tell the story of how u created this is so inspiring ! good job
Man Clint.. i love watching you grow your talent, keep it up!
You are one of the most ambitious, patient and intelligent 3D artists for me. You could be a nice teacher! Amazing project! Motivating others to do smth they always wanted to see! In my case I am person who got many colorful dreams and always wanted to show one of them in 3D, because some of them are so realistic and deep that You remember them for ever.
Man, this should have more than 1M views, you make an amazing work. Keep the hard work.
The lighting was probably my biggest take away. That's so incredible seeing it like how a picture book would outline the character or setting. Thats actually very impressive making this feel so cinematic. I think I want to learn more
Super cool Clint! It's always nice to see the creative process behind every form of art. Thanks for sharing!
This inspires me to add details to my Animation Renders as well! Great work. Loved it!❤️
i have no words for this. simply amazing. and i also wanna say that this kind of work is underrated af. hope this dude gets paid as much as he deserves. congrats and keep pushing!
This is So Calming To Watch. It's A Creative Therapy 💆
This is beautifully done. Thank you for sharing the depth of the creation.
Thanks for the tips Clint, will come in useful for my next renders and the next challenge! I think I need to spend more time on the references and planning the idea first as the last one I kinda just jumped in and added as I went
Thanks so much for putting this together; one of the best videos I've seen that motivates as well as tempers my expectations from myself. :)
The Flag - what a great technique! - I can't believe I never heard of this before - thanks - that alone was worth the watch...
Good stuff, im terrible at visualizing stuff so I dont think I could ever do work like this, but its really cool to watch how its all put together. Great work, you really are giving a lot to the community.
nice one clint! well explained and i really love your final render!
Loved it! I would also be very interested in a video focused on the compositing process (z-depth, after effects, ...), which seems to be crucial to have a good final result.
Lots to learn here, I hadn't though of using flags in CG. It's a simple trick but so effective.
Love the vibe of this video you keep getting better and better !
It's really nice to see how you put your creative process into words, it helps me a lot-- thnks man
Man I just learnt so much! Love your work dude!
To me, this is a new art form. I recognised your section instantly, even though I’ve watched all 2+ hours of the full video.
Finally
It's here..
epicness and creativity at it's peak❤️❤️
Endless Beauty 🔥🔥
Some great tips. I feel like the character should anticipate that drop off though. It looks like he's about to unknowingly fall off the bridge (although I guess that could be a metaphor for life)
Thank you for sharing your process with us. Amazing work!
I don’t have equipment just a pen and a paper and with this video just gave me all the motivation I needed…it’s time I steal a PC and make such work….God bless you man
YOUR VIDEO IS WITH MOODY AND DEEP CHILLING VIBES
I LOVE THIS WHICH TAKES ME THE SCENE AND HELP UNDERSTAND MORE
This is truly stunning - I've learned a lot from watching! My only comment would be on the character's pose. He seems to be walking as though he's climbing uphill, sure, perhaps the bag is really heavy, but still, the orientation of the character seems a bit off.
Can't wait to view more of your art!
Clint, you are the most inspiring 3D-Art Channel on TH-cam. This is amazing.
yo, this video is fantastic. It's clear, concise, very informative and most of all... interesting. You should try your hand at documentary filmmaking if you haven't already. The tone and music fit perfectly from the get go. I've been editing television commercials for many years as well as short films, music video's etc but I always wanted to get into 3D animation and renders, having a very vivid imagination, I always wanted to get my ideas out of my head and onto the screen like this, thank you for making this. I, just this week... was looking at learning C4D this prompted me to give it a go. I'm genuinely surprised you don't have more followers. This is quality. Looking forward to more.
Using 3 planes and a displacement texture to determine which texture goes on top is brilliant, would have never thought of that
More power to you. ✊ I did a 3 second (half 3D/half practical) and it took my 1.5 years to finish.
The amount of quality in your work is unreal.
so neat. Wouldn't even know where to start when it comes to learning all those different software platforms etc. Great atmosphere.
Great video as always. Some of the techniques I saw you use here are actually pretty new to me and I've never actually thought about doing it that way.
Skal!
It's so nice and informative that opened my eyes about cinematic play. Great job! 👍👍
So awesome, can't wait for the tutorial on capturing real textures
thanks man. amazing work loving this style of breakdown!! keep it up :P
These breakdowns are incredible
This was so relaxing and inspiring, detailed and Awesome.. so good.. pro man..🙏🏼
“If you can picture it, you can make it”. Priceless
Damn! Congrats on 700k!
Just stumbled upon you m8, super inspiring workflow and great explanation/walkthroughs. Keep it up dude your amazing!
I am impressed, you get a follower for life my friend. I hope to watch more of your creations in a near future.
I love these. Looking forward to more!
Love your work, man. Great Content, it's spiritual, great depth and meaning
So amazing !!!! The process !!
looks fantastic!
what also blows me away is: software has become so powerful these days... 1 person can create studio-like quality.. awesome time we live in.
I love this short art breakdown 😍💯💥 will you please make more of thisss!?
I know nothing about 3D renders yet I think I learned lot about how to organize my work flow from the scratch. Respect man! big fan here of you and the Corridor Crew gang!
Amazing Bro, your channel is so damn good, I can tell you put a lot of work into it
Another great piece bro, well done
Now this is a break down!!! 👏
You have now inspired me to work on a project which i had left months ago… thanks clint…!
I'm not even near being a 3D beginner but I FREAKING LOVE THE PROCESS, just as much as the final outcome.
These are my favorite type of videos you make 🙌🏽💯💯
i truly love ur work. best thing about your content is that i learn something everytime
"Just remember if you guys can picture it, you can create it" was said with so good and smooth sound, it was so epic that I got goosebumps and motivation..
