The fact they hand rigged and animated everything (especially the face!!) without just slapping a motion capture rig on someone is mindblowing. Fantastic work.
You guys didn't know? That was a major part of the impetus behind the project, to push the realism of Eevee as far as possible (and improve Eevee in the process, as every Open Movie fundamentally is about improving Blender).
You try to tell a heart felt story set in a science fiction environment with one character, the story isn’t hollow, its full of heart desperation and subtext. If you didn’t get that, that’s on you and I’m sorry your lit education failed you.
@@JarredCordova I'm not saying I disliked the animation, I realy liked it, but you cannot say the story is in high level. Why would the audience care about a character who just looks cool? Why am I rooting for the main character? Even in a short animation this could've been added. I use blender and that's the number 1 reason I enjoyed it, because it looked cool.
@@eloyarts423 Why care about the character... He is an old man, with a mechanical arm, obviously concerned about something, Reveals ROBOT BREATHING WITH A BRAIN CONTAINER... CUT TO: turns out he lives in a slum outside of a billion dollar power operation. He moves towards a menacing brutalist building, menacing, and verboding. Inside he successfully defeats the security measures and just as he is about to claim his prize a regular ass battery with thousands of the same battery in an assembly line (Subtext: Greed has caused whoever owns this oppressive business can obviously save lives but chooses violent protection robots meaning the batteries are not being shared with those who need it) Brotha, that is why you should care about the character... it is a tried and true David and Goliath story.
I like the deeper explanations! It was(and is) worth supporting the Studio to see the production logs as it goes, but seeing you all talk about it in this way is so nice to come back to 😊 Please more where the team talks a bit about their roles in the future!
I'm really amazed with the hard work you guys from Blender Studio put on this project. Congratulations to all the crew and to Ton for making this possible with an open source software.
Congratulations! It is an astonishing production, with the wrinkle displacements and the geometry nodes, the support to the Blender Studio was so worth it!
It's probably the best animated short I have ever seen. Futuristic world view, Sci-Fi and love all mixed so nice. The last scene literally made me cry. Many thanks to creator team and blender foundation. Blender will take over someday so soon and hope that it will be free 😊
Blender is open source and will always be free. What's important is that the artists are able to use Blender to create stunning content like Charge. Subscribing to the dev fund and Blender Studio keeps Blender moving forward.
Making everything just on one platform is very satisfying.. one day I will also able to do modeling, re-meshing , texturing, rigging, animating, color grading just on one software
It's really unimaginable about how much work is put into each frame of animation.. Huge respect to the team for coming up with these idea of "charge".. Brilliant . I do little bit of blender.. And it really makes me curious about how much is possible with blender... I love this 3d software so much.
I'm actually taking on the literally impossible task of creating a small little show as a hobby of one. I'm literally learning everything from scratch. Anything involving art is new for me. I almost care more about the journey now than the end result. Seeing my creations come to life is a feeling
Honestly I've seen many people like. Sometimes I wish that the community could work together to fulfill their ambition instead of just letting it stay as an ambition.
Guys, the amount of passion, dedication and attention to details in every single step of the pipeline is admirable and heartwarming. Thanks again for everything you do 🧡💙
WE NEED a lot more photoreal movies from Blender studio, not just cartoony NPR movies, because it's good but movies like this help push Blender's development to become a viable tool for both NPR and PR animation and not just one.
Awesome awesome work here guys. Definitely makes me happy to be a Blender Studio supporter when you guys release stuff like this. Charge is a nice piece of work. :)
For references: "We had to look at each others faces a lot and that was...... interesting" hahahahahah. Fantastic job guys, as usual, it's amazing what you do and also educational, few people know the immense effort it takes to make a human this detailed and an environment. It even makes me feel ok to not know everything myself. There is a whole dedicated team to make a human.
Thanks for making a "making of" video. It would be nice to see even more of these because most of the time when you all do movies, there's a lot of workarounds that you all do to compensate for features that haven't been implemented yet to achieve a certain goal or objective that most wouldn't consider otherwise. Does that make sense? You all should continue doing these.. very inspirational and helpful..
Again excellent work guys! Never forget that the work you have done is encouraging marginalized people that would never have access to software like blender. Literally insping opportunity for them.
One of the best animated movies i've ever watched. I was hooked from the very first second. Amazing work. Wish it was a full length movie. Cant wait for the next one ❤️❤️❤️❤️
This means stop saying Eevee isn't strong, it is. Now go make something amazing and remember all the hard work these guys put into this, and didn't just expect the software to do it all for them. Let's go!!
You guys have been doing a fabulous job. Especially with the old man. Without even a single word (or maybe because of that), he's a very interesting character. You can see the suffering he's supposed to having been gone through. I would very much enjoy to see more of him. I would really dig a whole feature film made from this short. It could contain very little talking as well, because since the man seems to be alone, who would he be talking to a lot? While I'd assume, that the robotic container for (his wife's?) would be able to be talking. But since it would require more of the scarce power, it would be done on a cautious level. Hell, I could work on all the concepts of that world. Postapocalyptic scenery is my thing. Great work!
I'm amazed of what you guys did, from this behind the scene we understand lots of details that you guys put in the 3D model, because so much detail in that character facial expressions, wrinkles animation, we as a viewers can't see much of that details in the short movie at all because the movie is pretty fast movement, so sad. But, you guys did a great job anyway.
You can see it in some key shots where it really helps. And 2 more aspects: 1 - we share the full rigs on our website and people can do any other type of performance with them. 2 - the process itself is very important for the Blender project and sharing the production knowledge we gain is core part of the Blender Studio mission. The film itself is only a part of what we work for.
Who else wants this channel to make tutorial series on character animation like shown in these movies! Body mechanics etc. Who else can't pay for those ridiculous expensive courses?
Very inspiring! This was great to see how it was made
👍
What amazes me the most is the lighting
Its so beautiful i couldn't believe it when i found out it was rendered with eevee
Good job to all of you
The fact they hand rigged and animated everything (especially the face!!) without just slapping a motion capture rig on someone is mindblowing. Fantastic work.
They use video capture
Evee?! Damn. Amazing work!
Feature length, guys. We need more original work in theaters. Would love to support something from your studio.
Exactly my thoughts! Eevee? Witchcraft! Loved it.
Wait......what!!!!
You guys didn't know? That was a major part of the impetus behind the project, to push the realism of Eevee as far as possible (and improve Eevee in the process, as every Open Movie fundamentally is about improving Blender).
More making of docs please! Thanks.
That bit at 3:37 made me laugh so hard. His expresion is everything!!!!
Awesome work! Everything is so high level: sound, style, animation, story
🔥
absolutery disagreeing with the story, everything else is awesome

Thanks for pushing Blender to the limits ❤

This is some amazing work. Animation is incredibly hard so seeing a team make something this relastic is really cool
Brings a tear to my eye. Just one.
3:38 lmao love the dude's reaction
😂
@megajayretro5050 hahahahh nice try
A video that proves how comprehensive and high quality blender is
Its so nice to see blender artist pumping out high quality short films. Normally it's the other competitive software.
Truly a masterpiece by these awesome developers!

I love the tardis at 2:00 I mean I wish I could do somthing at this level but I am lost just opening blender most of the time amazing job!
You guys are so amazing
So proud of you guys! Great work❤
Great work on the project everyone. Such a good concept and unbelievable that its all made in Eevee.
You are heroes. Never forget that!!!
Awesome stuff from all of you!!!, SUPER COOL!!!!
BEAUTIFUL JOB! I LOVE HOW YOU WENT INTO THE MAKING OF THE MOVIE AFTERWARDS! GREAT WORK! GREAT THAT IT WAS MADE SOLY BY BLENDER STUDIO.
This is super cool to see how this was made!
3:38 guy in the background had me cracking up
Laughed out loud when you guys threw in Phil Tippett in your old man reference ahahaha
This was GREAT!!!!
nice work, thanks everybody and Blender Studio
this is super amazing! congratulations for you all!
Hardworks make the result was GREAT! Congratulation Blender Studio team, thanks for the very inspiring contents. :)

Loved this!
Amazing work everyone!!

Hey now I'm still waiting on the sequel to Cosmos Laundromat.
The robots double arms are way tight! Good vid.
Merry Christmas to everyone ! 🦌🎁🎄🎅🏻
always crazy to see how much people work behind such a "short". 3d is crazy
A making of doc? Awesome!
Congratulation Blender team and the developers !
for Amazing work!
The impossible,became possible - with open source tool
Amazing. Well done.
Love that guy reaction in 3:38 on background :D.
Awesome and inspiring! nice work Blender studio!
Its so masterfully well done - even more so learning that it was rendered in eevee.
Blender is futures who agree.💓
Loool made in Eeve? And with so few verticles?? This is MAGIC! Inspiring! Charge is the reason I started learning Blender :)))
Haha love seeing Phil Tippet as a reference!!
This work is very incredible, and motivates me to render more with Eevee.
Man this is very inspirational. I LOVE BLENDER
I really hope they will post more videos on blender studio giving insight in how they made it.
Like explaining how they do things, and tutorials.
we love you ❤
nice work blender team❤
i'm beginner for this 😅
These are really appreciated!

3:40 "Crap... Nothing to see here. Nothing to see..."
Knew I'd find this comment😆
Great job, regards from Serbia.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥great work blender Rockzzzzzz
Love you Blender ❤❤❤❤
Blender is so phenomenal and it'd not be a surprise if it eventually overthrow all the other proprietary 3D tools!
It's basically doing that. Slowly but surely. It's catching up, and then exceeding, all the paid 3D software.
SIR it's really next level 💞.
Who else wants this channel to make tutorial series on character animation like shown in these movies! Body mechanics etc. Who else can't pay for those ridiculous expensive courses?
"The reference for the character design were actual human beings"
The reference:
hobo, hobo, hobo, Phil Tippett, hobo...
Very interesting and a very good end product!
NEXT LEVEL CREATION.!!
shader compilation slowing down the process is so relatable lol
I love how one of the reference photos was Phil Tippett!
Awesome !!!!!!!!!
❤❤❤ Beautiful job!
What a great work! But we... want afull lenght movie of it!! ;-D
Cool to see a lot of Dutch artists working on this🙃 awesome stuff!
Great work
i love this team really
