It's interesting that they chose to do VFX to make it look like an actual storm/natural environment. I feel like the commercial would work better if you could see exactly what was real and what was not. Since I know there's some VFX going on, it makes it feel like anything could have been altered.
@@BlenderBob Ehhh look I'm not trying to downplay your work, it's just kind of obvious in the way it's shot that SOMETHING is going on digitally, even from a practicality standpoint (ex: "How large of an area could they have actually flooded for this?" or "How are some of the exterior shots so stable if the surrounding landscape is supposedly flooding with turbulent water?" or "Would they actually wait for a storm to start before they started sealing the house?")
@@LaneCarter I completely agree, I don't think anyone could watch the commercial and think that it's 100% real, which kinda takes away from how impressive the product is... Nonetheless, the VFX work done here was great
man, ngl the ad would look a lot more convincing if they actually showed the water tank. The sus meter disappear completely when you showed the plate footage
It looks like crap without the CG. There are blue screens and cranes and tanks and stuff. But they are working on a making-of and you will see everything
@@BlenderBob That is surprising for me...I was imagining that any work you do professionally required some kind of specially powerful computer/s...interesting.
@@vrSpeechless Not at all. Sometimes we do very simple shots like an arrow and some weapons and it takes nothing to render. But the movie we are working on right now it the biggest project we ever had and it's rendering hell.
Hi Bob, you are the right guy to ask: after spending some 20 years on online marketing, I went back to my passions. I'm a videomaker now, and last August I downloaded Blender 3.3. It's HUGE! Now I have to make some money. I cannot wait 20 months or so, before contacting some agency to propose my very simple but useful 3D VFX. What is the quickest-to-learn but effective VFX I could propose to (and get paid for by) an agency? Just by watching some youtube tutorials, I was thinking of crowds 3D creation, or something like Motion Capture to add elements in a scene... or maybe some particle effects over the footage? What's my best shot???? HUGE THANKS! Ciao!
Well, that's like asking a contractor the cost to build a house without giving him any specs. All agencies are different. They all have their own style. Different clients. So it's impossible to answer you question. What I can tell you is that if you want to study 3d animation, it's usually 2-3 year program and you come out of school and you are just a junior who knows nothing. VFX is a complex and it's going to take you a lot of expertise before you can make a realistic crowd simulation and a lot of computing power, and a hell of a good computer too. There are always render farms that can help for the rendering though. I made a clip about crowds. Check it out. It's not that simple. Nothing is simple in VFX. You're not going to learn fast if you just want to learn by yourself or by watching TH-cam. You need proper training. And if you want to work for agencies, you will need a hell of a good portfolio. They don't work with juniors. Sorry if that sounds negative but that's the way it is.
@@BlenderBob yeah, that’s a harsh reality, but I appreciate your honesty and experience. Saying that one wouldn’t become proficient by watching online tutorials, could maybe be harsher, though. I enrolled in a Udemy course with “17 sections • 405 lectures • 53h 13m total length” and I’m following a few 3D youtubers. My hope is to become better with Blender. You sound like suggesting I shouldn’t spend my time with online learning… is it like it? Maybe I’d better attend a course in a physical place, with a real teacher, if I want to master the 3D field? Thanks!
One modeler, one in textures, on in tracking, one for layout, one for lighting and one CG supervisor (me) for the 3D. For comp I can't tell but it's like one compositor per shots. It took a few weeks because we need to develop le look, exchange assets with the other company, R&D, trying different looks and all. Once the master scene was ready it went faster but we also had a few customs setups and that takes more time.
Hello 🤗 Please I want more advanced blender lessons because it is required of me at the university Tutorial for design a Scene and animation this a scene Please 🙏🥺

Yeah but that's because you know. If I didn't make the clip you wouldn't 🙂

@@LaneCarter Ah ah. You are over thinking it my friend. It's a TV commercial, not a documentary. Take it for what it is :-)
@@BlenderBob Filmmaker brain can't be turned off most of the time, unfortunately.

Excellent
Wow. Cool! If I lived in a flood plain, I'd be looking that company up...
In Australia we just you sandbags.
I'm really glad that you were working with the product that I know and enjoy!
love seeing the process!
Crazy nuke node setup, interesting.
Hey, it's cool to see some nuke scripts combined with blender, I enjoyed it
We're so confident we made a house out of it
Nice work !😁

I learn a lot from theses case studies. Thanks for sharing.
That nuke node graph looks endless 😅
Thanks Bob for this amazing breakdown!
so interesting! thanks
Brilliant work! Plus getting a real chuckle out of all these moron comments
So... Is FLEX SEAL actually that good as they say in this ad? 😁
Well, they did it for real...
@@BlenderBob They could pre-fill all the gaps with sealant and only then apply FLEX SEAAAL on top 👀
@@konotori_vfx No way the lawyers would have let this happen. They even had to approve our shots to make sure we didn’t cheat.
@@BlenderBob hmm... Interesting

FINALLY
Does this vfx work require very powerful computers? For instance, what is the largest amount of VRAM you have for your graphics cards?
Not really. There are no sims and the water is just a plane with a displacement. Any computer can render this.

Super like video
Is there really any AO added when the factor of the mix/multiply node is set to 1? @ 10:24
Ah ah! Yeah, it doesn't do anything at one. Most likely I was doing tests with the mix and it looked the best at 1 so I left it like this. Good call!

And it's not just Blender. You need to do serious compositing and Blender doesn't have the necessary tools to make high end compositing

@@IoVideoMaker Learning is one thing, either online or at school. Once you are in the market, that's another game :-)
Can you suggest a good course to learn compositing?
Sorry I don’t. I never finished my series on compositing but that’s a good start
I am actually learning it with the alexander hanneman tutorial on Udemy I don't have another reference for comparison but they seems good to me.
Hugo's desk, Compositing academy, Rebelway etc.
I did water simulation in blender and it same as what i hve seen in that video. Theirs realisitic simulation its can be done easly inside blender.
Not sure but i feel like all the enhacements made it feel fake, I was surprised when i saw the before
How many days it took u to do this vfx shots and how many people needed to work on? 🤔

What do you think about the new "AI" technology on the 3D industry? Should newcomers look for different carreers? Should artists be worried?
That's my next BB.
