That fundamentals course was the VFX explanation equivalent of "If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe."
aSongScout cosmosss
I love Carl
Just like mom used to make
not a big deal or anything, but the quote starts "if you wish to make an apple pie from scratch"
Shit, I need to bake an apple pie for guests tomorrow. I'll never have time to invent the universe before then...
Plan B, I guess. Anyone has a recipe that doesn't require a universe?
The real unexplainable phenomena is how CD manages to fit so much content in under 5 minutes.
Lmao
THAT WAS 5 MINUTES?
"I'm glad i'm on youtube." Me: Whoah, that's a new one!
You can hear the dripping sarcasm in that statement
I'M GLAD TOO! He is the perfect person for kids who watch videos on the internet and believe them!
@Reveñant obviously demon powers
But that's 2 years ago
@@JASHiNSENNiN and your comment is 2 weeks ago XD
I actually know the exact dance animations he used! They are on mixamo and literally those exact dance animations have been done to death almost EVERYWHERE
Yeah I expected him to hunt down the original mo-cap.
3:13 “And finally he just...turned off the humans”. God if this isn’t some dystopian sci-fi right here
God 2020:
”Welcome to autodale!”
God 2020: oh sh*t, I accidentally left the humans on! I was supposed to turn them off thousands of years ago!
Now I have to render every thing again.
@@HaXD1209 lol
@@jacobhu4431 I understood that reference
What I appreciate is that you don't just do technical analysis - you also examine the cultural, legal, ethical, and historical context and follow breadcrumbs that aren't necessarily immediately connected, like the Method Studios angle in this video. I wouldn't care as much about this channel if it was just VFX breakdowns, but you bring the full package, and I can't get enough.
I thought at the end that he could have just said "real landscape video, video sphere for reflections, virtual cloth, invisible virtual dancing people, done". But what he did was make a nice video that people would watch and enjoy (and actually take the time to learn something from).
+
I agree! He does a wonderful channel with the mind of a prof!
You heard him. He can't get enough of your package.
Full package in a Quick D.
this is probably the most underrated channel on youtube,but quality over quantity
he has just the right viewers
Honestly, if he had some way of advertising himself better than just releasing videos and hoping the algorithm favored him, he'd probably have millions of subs. The production quality and content is fucking top notch, but he uploads only like once a month, so TH-cam just fucks his channel. My only idea to solve this would be if he adopted a more traditional, TV-style release schedule where he queues up like 8 videos to be released once a week and then takes a break from uploading for a year to make more videos.
as a viewer, I prefer how he does it now, but maybe changing the release schedule could help his growth? Idk, just want more videos lol
A Balanced Breakfast Maybe he can release a trailer for new episode so youtube know he's still active.
His subscriber count has increesed since i subscribed back 1 year ago. He went from 250k to almost 700k. Thats a sign of the amount of people that now care and like his videos
Yeah because he was on h3h3 podcast so people went to check him out, like me. Never knew he existed before that.
I am glad you're on TH-cam as well!!!!!!!!!
Eh...I'd be happier if he was on DailyMotion.com
Actually, I would love it if he was on Blip.tv
Jesus Rodriguez I had be happier if he did live streams so that he can earn more
Harsh Kanwar
I actually think musical.ly is his calling
Can’t believe anyone forgot to mention his youporn page
this channel is gonna be huge when video manipulation goes political and we need someone to tell us what's real
BASED
wow i guess it just did with the cnn journalist footage from white house
Looks like we are already living it. Also, Captain D is the reason we are safer than we would be without him.
Like that good old Obama kicking door video
It’s 2019 and I need to be told what’s real or not.
"That was brand new!"
That was clearly a Mac Pro from 2013. For it to be "brand new" would require Apple to continue selling the same machine for five years without any significant updates!
…
Oh, right.
he couldve bought it and never opened.
@Krok Krok Oh yeah? Tell that to Louis Rossmann!
200 like
@Krok Krok not really
I know I'm a year late
I know this is a joke but
That was an amazon echo
All the computer graphics explanation went over my head, but a fascinating video nonetheless. Thanks CD!
Ami Yamato oooh
I see what you did there
You're dope too! =)
yeah that stuff is complex, but fun nonetheless.
you should try it out sometime, you might like it.
Well you see it's really not that--WAIT A MINUTE
I've been a motion designer for around 15 years and this is by far my most loathed trend. It's annoying how hard it has become to find the source of a good idea these days because there is just so much cloned noise out there. And the clones keep getting farther away from 'inspired by...' and closer to the realm of 'carbon copy'. Accessibility sure comes at a hefty price. Awesome video as always, keep it up!
Woah 15 years
Esteban Diacono is the grandmaster of this, and Kiyan Forootan is his friend who also does motion graphics similar to Estebans. Easy.
Well said. Hard to not get discouraged scrolling through instragram seeing near copies of work using the same mixamo animations and no originality, work with the same colour palettes etc etc etc get so much recognition.
It may seem harsh to some people but I live with a 0 - Like policy.
If I can't find the original source within a few clicks, I'm not liking, or subscribing or anything.
Too often do I find reposts, stolen content, copies, memes of other memes... it's just dumb.
Unless I'm watching a channel or user I know like CD I don't bother giving likes or anything.
I just feel that my actual "votes" should be saved for people actually creating something new if i can help it.
It's kinda ironic that traditional copyright law gives an incentive to hide your influences & inspirations, lest they can find & sue you more easily...
But yeah, those low-quality "content aggregators" are annoying. Not giving proper credit is not only scummy, it also robs viewers of the opportunity to explore more by the creator of something they like.
As a motion graphics artist and video editor, I must say, CaptainDisillusion is an absolute beast.
Honestly I was skeptical at first to check ur shit out, but HOLY MOTHER OF PEARLS DUDEEE!!! HOW DO YOU EDIT LIKE THAT?
+BanditRants holy shit your videos are unreal
+BanditRants plz dm me I added you on twitter I have a proposition.
god damn dude u are good
Wow guys check this guy out, some pretty slick short docs you have there Bandit :D subbed
I don't have words to describe the awesomeness of this video... the humor, the lessons... everything just look too good, even for CaptainDisillusion. Good work captain, good work...
Did i just acted educational ?

@Hey Jeans what do you mean by "you now"?
@Todd Jodoin long response but ok
@Todd Jodoin how long it took you to respond
I love how this is also a shout-out to the original content maker, even though the dance moves aren’t his :)
The sheer work that must of went into just those 3D animation examples is more than most creators put into a month worth of videos.. You, my friend, are brilliant.
SERIOUSLY. Which credible artist in their right mind would ever copy the work of another? I, for one, have never ever done this in my 12 years on TH-cam as a cover artist.
Love your work, sir.
Cobus Lol!
COOOBUUUUSS... Glad to see you have good taste outside of the music world bud.
Cobus, it just depends on how many herta fills you add to the song ;)
Cobus I like to think of creativity as an iterative process. It's the sum of a creator's knowledge and experiences. There's no shame in borrowing concepts from your favorite artists and using them in your own work. It's the unique blend of ideas that make something new.
seems legit
but... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The high effort work really pays off, Captain. Much appreciated!
When you said "So let's do it" I smiled and thought "That's why I love that guy". Thanks, Captain! :)
haha! me too!
totaly
"The art world is terrible, I'm glad I'm on youtube"
That is indeed something he said in the video.
oh wow a quote from a video how can we NOT heard that?
I don't think the other replies quite get the joke, but I thought it was hilarious.
@@ltlbuddha Yea, same for me, just found this old comment cause you commented on it and realized it has 268 likes, probably the most likes I've ever gotten on a comment, although I have no idea if there are some other comments that are similar like this with like thousands of likes that I have no clue about.
As an artist I can agree to that statement, it's full of people stealing from others and others accusing people of stealing from them...
I've been in a motion capture system and i can honestly say its kinda trippy seeing yourself being animated in real time.
Stop being brilliant and giving no one else a chance.
Nah, there's so much room for brilliance in this world that anybody capable enough has the space to do it, even if not the means.
I know you were just kidding, but I'm sure someone will find my comment #inspirational

i get more excited for your videos than anyone
you don't know me. i get pretty excited too :P
You get more excited than anyone else for his videos...?
Or you get more excited for his videos than anyone else's...?
You don’t know me I get a full on boner
no
than anyone elses videos, that does sound wierd
I'm impressed that you were able to get so much into a less than 5 min video and none of it felt rushed!
As an owner of my first ever green sheet, this is still extremely impressive. I can barely get it to function properly while still. Correction, I can't get it to function at all.
This is above and beyond what most TH-camrs can ever dream of being able to do. Pacing, storytelling and production value - and how you educate us on motion capture, procedural systems and shading in 3 minutes - is astonishing. I'm amazed and now a Patreon.
i love you
GO CLAMS
Congratulations, you've completed my bingo card for how many different types of TH-camrs watch Captain D, I can now safely conclude it's all of them
Never would have expected hbomberguy on a CD video
You're a damn Commulist
Yo, it's that one youtuber who I've only ever heard of because half of the comments on a certain Internet Comment Etiquette video about soy were referencing your well made and quite entertaining video on soy. Or maybe that was someone else...
We are not worthy CD

Do ALL my favorite TH-camr watch Captain D too?!?
I mean.. the details, the quality content, the effort, the research,the analysis and all these resources compressed in a few minutes... this channel is crazy and well done
I wish I could get done in a month what you're able to get done.
Verified, but two years with no replies???
@@Thegoldenringsyt crazy days, man.
@@3DPrintingNerd lol, wait, you replied?!? This is the first time I've ever talked to a verified yt so uh, hi?
@@Thegoldenringsyt Wow, really? Well shoot, HI!
@@3DPrintingNerd yay, well i don't really have much to say apart from yay, but just so you know, i think your videos are great!
So who made him stop saying his catch phrase!?
Was he freakin SUED for it!??
I need to know!!!
He doesn't say it in his "Quick D" Videos.
Alan makes video production a performance. The Captain Disillusion character doesn't stop at the outfit and chrome makeup; it extends to the sound design, 3D models, animations, transitions, and visual gags. It's really fucking amazing.
Thank the gods no one ever copies anyone on TH-cam!
thats why i only make my own original content
Haha i know right. isnt TH-cam great!
I always go into these expecting it to be great, and walk away realizing what an understatement that really is. Forget the amount of work. That's been done and said. This is honestly genius being displayed in every layer.
"He just turned off the humans."
Yes you did, xenos.
Love how hard he has to go to find videos that were made in a way he hasn’t explained yet.
Great work!
Another great video! I always learn so much. 😁😁
"I am glad I'm on TH-cam." I honestly can't tell if he was being serious or sarcastic because of everything that is happening, especially with this platform.
both
he's being sarcastic.
as if people on TH-cam would copy each others work and take credit... pffft.
It was meant to be a joke, where he's implying that the "art" world is beneath him, and so he's doing something even more ambitious....TH-cam
I mean, he is making about $130 thousand a year from patreon so he seems to be set for at least the next couple years, as long as that number stays above $40 thousand.
2:25 Guys, I don't feel so good...
well*
Noooooooo
I was looking to see if anyone would make this joke 😂
*spoiler alert* capitain disillusion dies in infinity wars
aw rip

If u break the sixty nine likes ur gay
"but i'd have to give you a quick lesson on computer graphics!"
me: "okay"
"so let's do it!"
me: "YAAAAAAAAA-"
"Not a complete list" haha
I can't believe I only just found this channel. This is so good, it's the only channel I've ever actually clicked the bell to get notifications from. And I like a lot of other channels.
Nice glasses, NERD.
I recently stumbled upon the captain's channel and holy shit am I glad I did. I love how he not only explains the effects and techniques but goes on a detailed exploration of the "why" behind the "how". This is without a doubt one of my new favorite channels and I'm looking forward to every video to come.
God: Oreos should only be dipped in milk
Humans: actually dipping Them in water is pretty good too
God: 3:13

rightfully so
“He just turned off the humans.”
Kala Donnelly very original and creative comment, thank you for your input

Almost sad that Big D is gone... so few jump cuts in this one 😂
No more Big D but there's a lot of Quick D's to come 😏
Daryl Hutson He may be back someday. You know how it is. lol
Lain: No, it's a reference to the previous video.
This was priceless, Captain; great work as always. Had me laughing at the subtle sarcasm and intrigued at the rest.
Shout out to the pink dots that forced the Captain to do a reshoot.
Dont get it and want to get it
He had to reshoot the scene with the dots on his face because he forgot them the first time around. On Twitter, he said he was going to add them in post but then people were saying, "Why don't you just reshoot it?"
Trithis Thank you! You made me realize im not following him, big mistake if you ask me!
Yup. Cool knowing little tidbits like that from twitter.
Trithis I might just have to get a Twitter account to follow Captain Disillusion
This video is a masterpiece. I have no words to describe the mix of emotions. I will never stop watching it.
The quality of this channel! Love your timing, comedy and fluid explanations. Found you through your talk at Blender, which was hilarious and extremely well-done. Keep it up!
Man, the production value of your videos is insane, honestly, you are literally the only person that spends hundred of hours on each individual youtube video. I truly admire you! Wish youtube algorithm could value quality over quantity and stopped suggesting me stupid 10 minutes vlogs with clickbait titles. Stay awesome!
i feel the same way
Well you can always affect this algorithm by clicking those three dots on the right of a suggested video and then choose "not interested"
Kurosama Fumei not really, all you achieve that way is to get similar content from different vloggers of lower quality...
Well it's working for me, you just gotta be consistent
Capn', I really appreciated the reshot with pink tracking points on your face. It was not a waste of your time.
Seriously why don't you have 5 million subscribers? You are too good at this.
This is one of my favourite *educational* channel!
I've liked the AICP video for years now. It even sparked me to do my own motion capture for my projects. But thanks to you I've now found the original artist of this idea! Very awesome video, thank you.
Becoming a Patreon was well worth it hehe :D
This isn't even my final form!

The state of art being plagiarized just like that without crediting the original artist is just terrible. What a world we live in.
What???
Can someone rephrase this? I’m confused
How_may_I_offend_ you they’re saying it’s sad how much art is plagiarized. There’s been a lot of cases of big companies taking the styles of independent artists and making money off of it without crediting the person who made it
The state of art being plagiarized just like that without crediting the original artist is just terrible. What a world we live in.
That. "I'm glad I'm on youtube" got me.
Damn captain, I love you ♥ Best and most entertaining tutorials out there - I wonder why the algorithm never told me about you before in all these years.
Brilliant masterpiece ---- as always
2:44 , The moment when I lost my shit
hes going to give you the chose he never had
A little CD gives me a GD... (Great Day). :)

vgamesx1 I should've put a little more forethought into what I was setting up with my comment... But man, I laughed for a solid minute and a half when I read yours. XD
All we need is 00.1 million subscribers more to get Captain to 2 million!
One of The things that blew me away when I was first learning about textures & patterns or things, like marbling on a simple vase, was that marbling texture wasn’t on The surface of The vase, but penetrated a block that The vase was removed ( carved out of ) from, & that The marbling wasn’t taken from nature, but created from a mathematical algebraic formula, that was then calculated for each point being rendered in a light tracing simulation at that moment !
Andy and Kiyen have both put modern tools to work in brilliant artistic ways! You always give an excellent overview of the technology but you won't inspire better creativity by shrugging off people's heroes. Liars and charlatans deserve to be taken down but these two are just making honest and exciting art.
I think his point was exactly that kiyen isn't getting the credit he deserves from either creatively designing or expertly creating this really cool effect nor from inspiring the commercially successful work that others have done after. I think CD is clearly very positive on Kiyen. And now I am too
2:32 - what a great sequence haha
funny art opinion captian man, thx patricia
"Oriiiingutan"
So underrated. Can't believe i only saw these videos now.
i literally cant describe how much i love this channel
You know when I first started watching these vids I thought, I'm getting educated by a guy who literally just huffed paint till it dried. Now I'm like... he's really f***in good and I can't stop watching. You've got the formula my friend keep at it crew
how the fuck did you fit all that into 4:56?!! that was great, felt like a much longer experience, keep killing the game
You

Genius.
YAAG
i'm so happy captain d is blowing up. hope you reach the fame you deserve and the access to all the resources you need to make your videos even better than they already are. you're the beakman of a new generation and i'll show your videos to my kids when it's time to teach them to question things.
okay, your critique of romero britto just made me love you even more, cap. we hate him here in brazil, especially 'cause he is EVERYWHERE
Holy hell Captain D! The amount of detail and time that you had to have put into this video is mind blowing! That explanation of how the video was made is melting my mind!
He probably doesn't even move in his videos. He just takes a still picture and warps it using editing to make him seem like he's moving and talking. Don't fall for his tricks. He's too good at editing to actually open his mouth and talk.
"The art world is terrible.
I'm glad I'm on TH-cam."

Oh, that was some serious shade you threw at Andy Serkis! 😂 His performance was extraordinary, IMO. :P
And Andy Serkis shouldn't be blamed for forming an overly high opinion of his own performances since it's other people's fault for showering him with accolades and high praise for simply crouching and jumping around in a body suit with balls attached...66.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lk0llsWycB1qbu2p6o1_400.jpg ...like you just did.
@@FakeMoonRocks yeah buddy, that's all he did. Sure, sure. Next you'll tell us how Captain D just stood in front of a camera and sat in front of a computer clicking shit for awhile. What a hack.
@@FakeMoonRocks You forgot the voice acting. Anybody can shit on voice acting until you've actually tried it. It's acting, and his performance was excellent.

Mind bending, chilling, informative, and hits on every point that leads to understanding.
You're great.
i got SUPER EXCITED about this one!! i’ve been a fan of this artist and his work for a WHILE and i was really curious to see where you went with the topic! you did not disappoint and i’m thrilled. go captain!
Don't worry! From the height the floppy fell and when you take in consideration its weight, it didn't break. It's actually fine
C’mon Stepan, It clearly fell on an industrial electromagnet! 😆
@@steveopenshaw1219 jeez took you long enough
Štěpán Remeš Yes, it took me a whole six months of my life, searching the internet to find your comment, then a further six months to think up and compose a reply. I think I've earned a rest 😅
1:23 my internet lagged there, and it was perfect
It said "METABALL" .
Not "MEATBALL".
B_D_W_S shit. You got me. I wondered wtf was behind such a technical term as "meatball".
That's a spicy-a met-a-ball!
Xiaolin Draconis Fun fact! Meta balls were created for the movie flubber .
Meta balls are only used in one current software that CD and I both happen to use , so they really aren't well known .
+B_D_W_S Depends on what you mean by "not well known". They're not fringe, they're used pretty often, and you can make them in pretty much any video editing software and graphics engine out there. It's pretty much the only way to make liquid particle effects in video games. I use them in procedural generation too.
Katrina L by " not well known " I mean exactly that.
Meta balls are mostly used in 3d software , and most 3d software users don't know much about using them.
You are deffenitly right about them not being fringe, but they aren't as talked about or used daily like UVs, topology, or texturing, they're like a crazy weekend subject haha .
P.s. what kind of procedural generation, like practicals with force fields, or what? I'd love to know!
Amazing. I'm in awe of your analytical expertise.
we're glad you're on TH-cam too D
When I Saw The Video I Was Like Hmmm... I Think They're Wearing A Green Screen T-shirt Or Blue T-shirt Or Something Like That
wait this.... THIS ISNT A MONTH BETWEEN VIDS
It's because the last video was delayed by 15 days
HEEEEES BAAAACK
I do love the way he explains things. These are so great
I'm so happy I found you Captain, love your channel and your charisma!

Excellent as usual!!!
Thank you for all your explanations, Captain D!
I discovered this account a couple weeks ago and I am just astounded. The amount of work put in is quite clear. Instead of a monotonous VFX breakdown, you invariably deliver captivating and entertaining videos! Thanks!
Great, just love your videos.
Oh captain my captain 😉
Heeey!! What happen to “love with your Heart, use your head for everything else”???
Cmon!!!
This is a "quick D". The catchphrase is for full videos.
The ending line to every Cap'n D video is by far the best part... Sort of
I seriously appreciate the time and effort that went into making this video
