Love that you continue to compare with "rookie" version throughout the video, and without intentionally making the rookie version bad. A lot of content creators would have made the rookie version intentionally bad to make the final result look better, but instead you made the rookie version simple and straightforward, how a beginner would actually create the effect. It's a small detail but it made the video feel much more honest about how effective the "magic 3" rule is.
Hey. I'm in the 3D game for a year now and this was one of the most important tutorials I've been watching! It's not about doing insane portals like this, its about to UNDERSTAND what you have to do to get to the next levels. Huge thank you for my new favorite rule!!
I actually loved this, the "magic three" rule is something Imma use a lot. That's what I love about tutorials like this; it works for EVERYTHING, not just a doctor strange portal effect. Also it cuts all the fat and leaves just what you need. It's a great tutorial.
If works for every type of art too! It's just a great rule. I see it most in comedy. Or even plot. Telling the joke 3 times with 3 as the maximum before it gets old. It is the same with film. You can have 3 "references" to an event in a plot before it gets old. 3 surprises. 3 is always the best
It's amazing how much effort and randomness we must imbed into our creations in order to make them look natural. You're knocking on a door of great potential, don't stop pushing this theory, you've demonstrated it absolutely beautifully.
Thank you, that's good to hear. I hope to strike a balance between giving interesting information and not getting too deeply into the very technical (boring) aspects!
@@Digipiction I believe a good example of that is Ian Hubert, packed with info but not a 'real' tutorial per say(although he does those too), just enough for those who are already accustomed with 3d to follow along and test it either on the same software or transfer it to their favorite ones.
Came here from yt recommendations, i was surprised you only have 500 subscribers! You deserve so much more, I don't even do CG but you explain these concepts so well
I've been using noises for quite some time but thanks to this vid I can design my stuff based on a solid knowledge, not just a mere hunch. This video was very eye-opening and enjoyable to watch! :)
Lovely format and impressive results! (would be also nice to have some render times info in the description) It reminded me those trapcode particular/form days, playing around with after effect settings. Keep it up!
Thank you, the render times were a bit longer than I had hoped. The entire sequence is about 15 seconds and took a few hours to render on three RTX 3060s. I'll look up the exact times tomorrow and add them into the description.
I have to say that I took those Marvel movies for granted, the amount of effort put behind a single portal shows the level of details to make a great movie. It is truly marvelous.
Just found out about this video right now, I'm glad to hear that those concepts are the same I applied when I recreated my own Dr Strange portal, although I think I missed some of the layered turbulent forces, I like how some of the particles keep floating around far away from the circle here
imo looks better than marvel's ones, there's just some blue aura/a cooler tone to theirs which does not fit the scene well and the particles don't interact with the scene as nicely as yours does. Extremely good job amigo
@@kenziebalhatchet3918 the amount of CGI marvel does for their scenes is crazy, i'd expect them to do it much better if they use THAT much CGI compared to something like a Chris Nolan film for example
Just watched a couple of videos yesterday on doing the portal using Davinci Resolve. Now I can see those looked good but were only a starting point. Thanks
"If you want good results you have to put in the time. There's no way around that." Can't wait to tell this to all of the kane pixels clones who make the "backrooms" (cubes with textures) Amazing video! And, thanks for that quote lol.
I like how this guy is between 7 and 97 years old judging by his voice, but like 9000+ years equivalent of skills in Houdini. I'm sure hoping to see more of you. It was really funny and informative video.
I've got a great Halloween idea. You use polycarbonate and project this onto it. You then cut a hole in the middle where the portal is. You then stand behind the polycarbonate until someone comes and step from it as doctor strange
I would like to see more of your videos on this topic. Heck, I'm even ready to create a time machine to see all your video tutorials. Please tell us what software do you mainly use?
Those multiple frequencies of noise are often called "octaves" (even if they are not perfect multiples) and some systems have a built in slider for how much of that to add. If you find that slider in your particular tool, it can save a few minutes of setup!
This is awesome, keep on with this work! There aren't enough of these houdini videos, sharing this knowledge will help people who are interested in becoming a vfx artist. Even sharing the project file is incredible! (currently, it still says coming soon?)
This was awesome! I learned about layering detail through graphic design, but it can be applied anywhere. And what I really loved about your video is that the "rookie" version doesn't even have to be a "rookie version" but actually a "pre-viz." It's a great first step and once the cut is locked, you can go back in and add all the details you talked about. Loved seeing this "rookie/pre-viz" come to life.
To be fair, your first iteration of the portal is not bad. Even though it is not photorealistic, it captures the essence of what the portal is, just lacking the chaos. It could fit into a cartoonish art style quite well.
Since it gets asked a lot: the software I used is called Houdini
Who already know how vfx works they know the software name and people asking for software they can’t even imagine How hard Houdini is for beginners..
Damn, you just blindly wrote price for the project files.
Houdini ❤️

Dang, really well done! You've earned my sub, please keep making more VFX breakdowns like this!
Yes, more along these lines is coming. Thank you for the support!
The cheery on the cake is how the sparks contact the floor. It looks so realistic.
The donut part caught me so off guard I had to burst out laughing
I love how the narrator talks like he's dying and has to tell me the origins of my powers before it's too late.
Even in houdini, we VFX artists can't escape donut tutorials
fading gravity as it gets further from the floor, thats such a great detail I'd have never thought of!

I don't do 3d graphics... Heck, I don't even draw stick figures on my notebook, but you just convinced me to like and suscribe. Good job!
Wow, this is one of the best fundamental art creation techniques I've ever heard. Thank you sir.
The fact that the 'subscribe' in the end was also sparking the way the portal did
Yes, it uses the exact same effect, shaped into letters instead of a circle.
2:47 "Whenever we see sparkly inter-dimensional portals"
Ahh yes, nothing like that one I saw this morning
Imperfection is a virtual perfection
Dude, the effort you put into this! Thank you so much!! You‘ve just gained a new subscriber ^^
The detail is astonishing. I might start learning CGI so this video taught me a lot.
CRAZY
damn not only an f1 champion but a graphic desiegner as well!!
Wow, feel like you applied the magic three to your video production/direction as well. Good job!
Haha thank you! I'm not terribly experienced with editing yet but am happy with this video for sure :-)
I wasn't expecting kennedy to be this good at CGI.
Please make more tutorials.
There's a reason this video is popping off, it's great.
This one is the perfect portal that I saw on internet
Also, I knew you didn’t go into detail on how to create the window like effect, added to the portal but I really love this tutorial
Sir you can cry it out! you sound like your about to cry :)
LOVE THE TUT!
It's fine, I just... I just... excuse me I need a moment :-D
Thank you for giving this for free. You are awesome.
im not usually interested in these stuff, but damn this is amazing
thats really cool to see how it was done. Would love to see other elements from different movies and how it's done!

This man deserves more subscriber dude, very informative and entertaining at the same time
Can we appreciate the fact that this man goes out of his way to like all the comments
When I was in video game design it was always: "Let's put some noise. Good. Now let's put some other noise. Ok. Now more." haha. Got me nostalgic!
Haha, yes there can never be too much noise
Just watched a couple of videos yesterday on doing the portal using Davinci Resolve. Now I can see those looked good but were only a starting point. Thanks
I've no idea why the algorithm recommended me this, but boy I like it

This looks so real ngl
The Donut got me. Well done! xD
it would be super cool to see you do the igni effect from the witcher 3
The ring portal in Sonic live action is a perfect clean portal.
This video was dope and easy to follow thru. I can see why CGI artists take their time, so much tweaking!
Cool skills, end product and narration in a short truthful video. Thumbs up.

This is just amazing, i see how u love what you do and the effort behind it. A new sub here
I didn't know Mr.Worldwide is into editing too.
damn this dude made the doctor strange portal way more realistic than marvel cgi team
Its the same portal
I was honestly astounded by how it looked axactly like the original, props my dude
