They made wise choices. Their outfits are tight and scarce so there's no secondary action or cloth simulation. Most of their clothes and bodytypes are the same, so a lot of the characters just have recycled bodies with different heads. I'm surprised the mangaka didn't write this story tailor-made for CGI in the first place!
Love how 2/3 of this is just of the snail shell that was literally only used in 2 episodes of the show. Really makes you appreciate the amount of effort that went into the design of props.
Depressed Optimist Agreed, although there's always better normal animated anime, like Violet Evergarden, this shows CG was better than the other CG animes in my opinion, I couldn't stop watching tbh
I don't personally think the effort can't be topped. Literally the reason for Houseki no kuni to be CG was that it would've required too much money and effort to make the show in 2D. The ending is a good example of what this could've looked like if they did go the traditional route, maybe mix in some CG elements when needed. And in my opinion, it would've looked even better! I'm not saying Houseki no Kuni looks bad, it is an amazing show and the CG is handled as it should've been. Most other CG anime forget that CG cannot be used like traditional animation, and the results are awkward. I love that here they knew the strengths and weaknesses, avoided the weaker points of CG to the max and emphasized the strength of the medium. :)
to people confused; this video is showing the various specular maps used: each object has multiple layers. this way, they have more realistic and consistent responses to different lighting scenarios than you would get from hand drawing it
:O specular maps?, i never used that ones....im user max, if i look for specular maps tutorial can i find a way to make my anime renders looks something at least 5% like this?....for anime character i just use outlines, u know the same model but x2, one for the color, and the second one for the outline, inversed poligons and black, or is another way to do this?
I like how much effort they put into ventricosus's shell even tho it was used in only like 2 episodes The amount of effort dude another plus on why i love this anime
ixRADIOACTIVExi I think it's like getting the precise color scheme and radiant to her hair and eyes to get the right "diamond" color not too bright or thick, but just right...maybe..?
Both from the perspective of modelling and shader programming, I would probably rather want to do her hair than the others. Fancy looking things like rainbow gradients can still be really simple technically, and they often leave you a lot more artistic license. Simple looking things often have much stricter requirements to adhere to a certain style, and it can get much more tricky to get a 100% match for those so they don't look "off". Making a ton of iterations by trial and error is perfectly normal for the process as well.
For the eyes and mouthline, those are both separate pieces of geometry that they adjust with the rotation of the face to match how it would look if it were drawn. Furthermore, the shape of the face also gets deformed with the camera angle, otherwise the actual 3D look of it would appear off. That's not to say that it is entirely done in 3D. Certain scenes will be redrawn in 2D if the details call for it, like gems shattering or close ups, or even the mouth and eye shapes.
I Knew it! There's no real way you can just use mouths and eyes like that just regularly placed onto a CG model! They even somehow made that awkward-looking side mouth thing work in CGI!
Do you know how? Vtubers are all the rage now but i dont think their models change depending on camera angle. Same with the botw and genshin models. How do you design a model that changes with camera angle?
It's really hard to get it right. There's a lot of stuff in 2D that you can't get away with in CG, namely frames A lower framerate looks a fuckton worse in CG than in 2D. Houseki falls prey to this, and is really only complaint.
It probally because most cg anime did not make anime on pure cg. They emplement cg on a 2d anime which the reason some cg look bad and really out of place. HNK on other hand make purelly on cg which make 2d cg problem never happen and the fact the gem is so easy to cg and on top of that they look awesome in cg which make it even better
CG is very expensive to do on this scale. The vast majority of anime studios have a low budget to work with and have to cut tons of corners even with 2d animation. Unfortunately CG just isn't very viable at the moment unless the company you work for has tons of money or was created for the purpose of popularising the use of cg animation (Studio Orange for example).
@@JuicedLeaf No, it is not: CG is cheaper. All studios have approximately the same budgets: 15-18k dollars per episode in a standard inexpensive series, and about 30k in expensive ones.
my guess is they played around with the normals in the geo so it appears as if its hovering, maybe they reversed it? idk I kinda failed at rigging so that's all I can get from it lol
The Dark Hour that's why working station computer today requires tire least equal to i7/Ryzen 7 or higher combined with Volts like graphics with combination of SSD over 512mb-1tb to compress. You cant expect to work slowly on cheap CPU to render CGI or else it'll look like most of CGI failure in 80% of the anime where frame rendered lower than 20 FPS and lacks of shading in different settings.
May I at least hope that CG (or mixed) animation will at least try to be at this level from now on. I now want to learn 3d animation myself but my PC is basically a dinosaur.😥
Yeah they don't have genders. They are basically mineral rocks. But i think it's okay to call them whatever you want. For example, Bort call Dia as "aniki" or "brother", which is a male pronoun.
Perserk had really top quality animation/art style in the last 2 minutes of the second season. They should have used that style for the rest of the anime. (The tavern scene.)
Studio Orange everyone. Let's all appreciate the artists who created this gem, as their first project. Meanwhile, Polygon Pictures are still shit at animation.
Animation...ANIMATION. The animation is a completely different department from lighting and shading. The principals of animation are universal there are no different methods. Orange and Polygon use the same software Autodesk Maya, so no. Even after being so long in the industry they shit suck at animation.
Dude having a houseki no kuni vrchat avatar would be so fucking cool! And like having a sword pop out of the left or right hand when you grab? That would be fucking *sicc*
As I look at the 2d drawing of diamond,the look at the 3d rendering,I thought if how the beauty and appeal of dia is almost impossible to replicate in a 2d space without having to draw lots of frames and very,VERY detailed drawings to frame.
Exec: "All right, we need you to design an alien snail. Think you can handle that?" A very enthusiastic employee: "I've been WAITING for this!" Seriously, I love this show so much.
Wow they certainly took a long time to do they snail. Well it is all 3D like. I really love Diamond's character. Looks hard to animate, and make it look perfect.
You described it so perfectly. But it’s more like *”burning train out of coal while all the gems are internally screaming and suffering as their limbs are being broken off by a mentally deranged 300 year old edgy child while the train tracks break apart and the train falls off a cliff and descends into satans asshole while he’s throwing it back for TikTok views.”*

There's something that keeps bothering me about Diamond, don't actual diamonds reflect only grays and whites? And fake diamonds reflect rainbow colors?
Angela Kelly well she does feels useless compare to the other diamonds, almost as she wasn’t a real one , as she said borts is the true diamond.it’s an interesting character trait that would make a great character arc for dia , but I doubt the creator will do that now in the manga
Jeshua Restituyo It’s actually addressed in the manga when they leave for the moon (also yes I know you commented that before the moon chapter came out but I wanted to clear it off)
Just finished the season, brilliant; Now for OP's question. Really it's played up for artistic flair but here's some basic science. I myself don't know much on the refractive index but If I understand correctly there's a bit of a spectrum (pun intended), 'cubic zirconia' is really colorful when looked at directly. Whilst diamond shouldn't be too colorful but still disperses light (fire). The "whites and grays" you're referring to is the (brilliance) which is the light that isn't dispersed by the crystals geometry.
A person: sir, phos... B person who make phos model: let me guess.. she/he do something that make me need to change her/his model? A person: yes... And seem like there's no end to it B person: phos?? Why can't you stop suffering??!
According to my research, a real diamond shouldn't shine with the rainbow ON the gem and instead it I guess you would say it reflects the rainbow. So Dia would possibly be considered a fake diamond. (Sorry if this bothers anyone, but you can look it up and see for yourself if you don't believe me.)
purely realistic glassy would kinda be boring for something like diamond so they had to come up with a stylised appearance for the hair that had vibrant rainbows
I’m curious if any chance they’re gonna make another anime from Ichikawa’s works they better make it CGI. Her art style is perfect for making CGI anime out of.
I think Diamond is the prettiest, but her design has always bothered me so much because it shows a fundamental misunderstanding about how diamonds work. Why is she multicoloured? She's coloured like a crystal, or a fake diamond. Real diamonds are easily distinguished from fake diamonds by the very fact that they only reflect pure white light, or, the light that their diamond is, a yellow diamond will only reflect yellow and so on. Crystal, glass, and other stones that look like diamonds refract rainbows. It's one of the easiest ways to distinguish a fake diamond. Her design is pretty none the less, but she should be called Crystal, not Diamond.
Diamonds have much more dispersion than most other gemstones, certainly much higher than glass or quartz (I assume that's what you mean by "crystal?") It doesn't have as much dispersion or as high an RI value as moissanite, which is a common substitute for diamonds, but to say that diamonds don't split light into its component colors at all is demonstrably false.
When you look at a diamond, it should only sparkle white or gray which is "brilliance", it will only flash colour, it will cast coloured light onto other objects which is known as "fire". This is stated on just about every jewellery website and store I've ever been on. That's at least what I've seen, and what our local jeweler told us when verifying a diamond ring for us. My diamond only looks white when you look at it, but when you shine light on it, the light it casts on things around it has rainbows. So, even though Dia's design is pretty, her colour palette should be white and gray, and the light around her should be white and rainbow. "The way diamonds reflect light is unique: Inside the stone, a high-quality diamond will sparkle gray and white - known as brilliance - and throw off flashes of color called fire." Russell Shor, Gemological Institute of America

honestly CG works really well for this show. since most of the characters are like solid objects.
They made wise choices. Their outfits are tight and scarce so there's no secondary action or cloth simulation. Most of their clothes and bodytypes are the same, so a lot of the characters just have recycled bodies with different heads. I'm surprised the mangaka didn't write this story tailor-made for CGI in the first place!
And also because ichikawa(the mangaka) draws things scarily symmetrical

Her design is pretty none the less, but she should be called Crystal, not Diamond.
Diamonds have much more dispersion than most other gemstones, certainly much higher than glass or quartz (I assume that's what you mean by "crystal?") It doesn't have as much dispersion or as high an RI value as moissanite, which is a common substitute for diamonds, but to say that diamonds don't split light into its component colors at all is demonstrably false.
When you look at a diamond, it should only sparkle white or gray which is "brilliance", it will only flash colour, it will cast coloured light onto other objects which is known as "fire". This is stated on just about every jewellery website and store I've ever been on. That's at least what I've seen, and what our local jeweler told us when verifying a diamond ring for us. My diamond only looks white when you look at it, but when you shine light on it, the light it casts on things around it has rainbows. So, even though Dia's design is pretty, her colour palette should be white and gray, and the light around her should be white and rainbow.
"The way diamonds reflect light is unique: Inside the stone, a high-quality diamond will sparkle gray and white - known as brilliance - and throw off flashes of color called fire." Russell Shor, Gemological Institute of America

So they ARE 3d models! I thought it was all just really good animating when I got a phew eps in but when I started this was what I thought
Indeed. I'm glad they went the CGI route. There's no way you can get this amount of persision, detail, effects, and texture with hand-drawings.
I am pretty sure that making Dia hair are more harder
Because you know...
Her hair is Rainbow like
Diamond Rainbow
Maybe
Sooooooo thank you for making my cosplay plans much easier >u
