how come that i've been searching for photorealism in blender for about an hour an your video just come out of nowhere 😳 thank you for the upload stache! 🙌🏻
what a fantastic resource, you've probably saved artists years of time scratching their heads figuring out what their scene is missing. Thank you for sharing this.
This is one of the best approach when you feel lost in the project. Even everyone knows, few indies and individuals use checklist to catch up. And thx for sharing the ssheet.
I just found your channel and I'm really loving the advice you give. I'm not really aiming to become a Blender expert, though I'm using it at times to make 3D models for video games. I just wanted to note that the advice you give concerning the use of checklists like this, or in another video about just making things and spending 70% of your time using the actual tool you are trying to learn as opposed to 70% of the time watching tutorials, are applicable in so many other creative media. So I'd highly encourage creatives of all types, whether in 3D modeling, video game design, music, animation, or whatever else, to watch your videos. Thanks for sharing!
Wish I saw this video earlier, I'm here because I just finished messing up my render lol. Thank you very much for the list Stache, It will be extremely useful! Guys try using a vpn if the link doesn't work.
Thank you so much for sharing this. I have been looking for a way to organize everything I need to make good renders and I didn't know where to start because there is so much that can go into making a render go from basic to really good. This is going to help me a lot and I will recommend this to anyone who I think would benefit from it as well. Please keep making great content, you are Awesome!
I tend to write todo lists when a project gets quite large, but it never occured to me to use a more general permanent checklist like this one.. it's a super useful idea and tool. thanks a lot !
Wow, this is such a basic yet super practical approach! Thanks for sharing the checklist! I'll be using it for my future projects and tweaking it accordingly!
Solid advice, Stache. My ADD causes me to overlook and overcomplicate Blender tasks every time I open the program. Plus, I'm generally an unorganized person. A checklist may help. I'll likely create my own, but thanks for the inspiration. Cheers.
Yeah, I keep forgeting things I could have done to get some pretty cool reasults, but ones I post it, it's when I remember. Funny thing is that I forget to make a list of it too xd. So thanks for sharing yours, man. I'm gonna be using it as reference.
Thanks so much for sharing this list and for the walking through how you use it! I recently started my own render checklist after a recent project - I like how you mentioned the "CGI muscle memory" - always great to have notes to reference back on.
As a learning and struggling artist who copies different methoda and techniques from different youtube videos and easily forgets them , this simple trick is definitely going to help me. I cant wait to implement this technique and bring out good renders.
You deserve a MILLION thank yous!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you. I make like all the mistakes you mentioned in this video so this will be extremely helpful.
I do the same thing for other workflows and would be lost without it. I'd also for instance make a list of all the models or textures that have to and then tick them off as I go. ADHD do be a bitch sometimes and it helps like a lot. Thanks for sharing this! Sure I'm gonna learn a lot.
I love your channel! This is a great idea for hobbyists, but im definitely in the camp of finding it silly to just take basically your workflow and try to force all my habits into it. Definitely going to start making one of these!
I made my own copy as I followed the video, so not in the lazy bones club but some other kind of silly bones I guess. I did add clickable links on all my reference sites though (Artstation etc) so there's a suggested addition for you.
I'm new here, known you since Celsius. and my God, you inspire me so much, I've watched all your videos, tut,... Keep doing the good work man. thank you! 🥰
@@stache_obj but still can't find the code in Celsius 😆. I'm about to join your Patreon but I'm not familiar with it, can I ask? Let's say I join your Patreon today, so can I watch your older videos there?
Just a little note: the only reason my renders don't look all that great is because of intentional action. Sfter all, my computer couldn't really handle much right now.
great video, I wrote another comment during the video that I deleted in the end because I saw you shared the list on your patreon :D still love your content, sorry to disturb
@@stache_obj I guess my underlying question is, how to make animations render faster. I’ve read that baking scenes can help with render times. But any other tips you have would be great!
I have some of them mentioned in my short film overview video. You should check that out if you want. It's called "how I made my first ever short film..."
Dangnammit... you coulda shared this before this here noob embarked on his janky awful short....😂😂😊 still ggonna put this idea to good use, defo needed. Stache once again delivering stuff that is actually useful and productive!👍
@@stache_obj oh sorry i was still watching the video and was kinda late so maybe i missed it. I shall try again! Love your videos btw very helpful truly
I don't know man. It's the strangest things that inspire you. A song, or a movie or a book or literally anything. I feel like there's too much inspiration in the world. We just gotta look through the right lens
@@stache_obj i watched the whole video, dont know how i missed that part xd, thx. I think there can be a value to have a list with additions from the community. to collect knowledge from everyone and try tips from other peoples(probably should be supervised) but i think it can be really cool
@@stache_obj I commented middle of the video. 😭😭😭. Then I saw the part when you said to build our own one and it's actually not something which is a must. But I really liked the idea. Cz I'm super lazy to create something new.
@@stache_obj yeah I see your point. I'm new to Blender, but I feel that way about my digital illustration and painting which I've done for years. Always wanting to learn more and improve, etc. I think what I really meant by "scary" is that it seems like you know A LOT and if you think of yourself the way you do it means the us REAL beginners are even less ahead than we feel. In fact, I think that's what I'm really talking about here if I'm being honest: it scares me how much there is to know/learn just to be able to realize the vision you have for a piece. Anyways I appreciate you man, for real.
photorealism requires you to not be artistic but mimic exactly how stuff work in real life. mixing HDRIs is a no (it's not that bad but still a no), that's a stylized approach (intentional). if you're going for photorealism, you have to contain your artistic itches and accept that if the sky looks like this the scene has to look like this because that's how it works in real life. it's less about art and more about understanding how stuff work.
I totally disagree but I get where you're coming from. The whole point of having a 3d software is to bend the rules to achieve whatever you wanna achieve. There's no rulebook to follow here. The point is to use whatever resources you have to get the look you're aiming for. Prove me wrong!
You and I have very different ideas about photorealism. If I were craving perfect physical photorealism', wouldn't i just have taken photography instead of CGI.
@@stache_obj I see where you're going now. although there are several levels of realism in CGI and photorealism is at the absolute end of the spectrum, I never said you can't have anything that doesn't exist in real life. I suggest you read my comment again and reiterate what I mentioned and what I didn't.
@Srache-obj Yes bro you are on my wavelength 100% I was actually looking for a list like this as I find remembering everything so hard. We all appreciate the hard work you do and I will definitely join your Pateron to get access to even more awesome stuff. Must apologise I didn't realise you had a pateron man or I would have joined by now 🤜🤛 Can I ask you for some help and advice directly if I join your pateron to help me achieve what I need to get my rendering business up and going? Speak soon bro 🙏 🙌 💪
Happy to help my brother. And yeah. You can join the patreon any time you want. And you don't need to join there if you just wanna chat. Instagram/twitter is always open for that for everyone
@@stache_obj Thanks again bro 💯 I want to join the pateron to help support you and your tutorials. The chatting and advise on how to improve is just a bonus for me. Keep up the great tutorials and advise 🤜🤛😊
Such a timely and resourceful video, made me want to start a new project immediately. Speaking of, what is your opinion on people using only assets from the internet to create their projects, because that's what I've been doing so far and am pretty embarrassed that I don't like modelling and creating my own ones.
There's nothing wrong with that. Different people have different workflows because the art they're creating is different. I had the same doubts but what reassured me was that Photoshop artists are respected as artists and they almost exclusively use assets made by other people. Very rarely are they shooting the assets they use. Filmmakers and directors are also respected despite the fact that the actors, props, backgrounds etc are the result of other individuals. It really depends on what the end product is and how much of your vision is going into it. As long as you aren't just putting models in a scene, hitting render and passing it off as your own, you're good.
You are gonna find this video either extremely useful or extremely stupid.
Ok!?
Share the checklist 😊
extremely useful
Extremely useful. I also would love a copy of the checklist if you’re comfortable with that

One of my favorite CG youtubers now. Love the patreon as well. The engineering style approach you have to art resonates so deeply! Love it.
Appreciate you saying that buddy. What do you mean by engineering style tho? 😂. Can't understand if to take it as a compliment or not
@@stache_obj I'm pretty sure it's a compliment
@@stache_obj i think, they are referring to your inspiration of a organized workflow from your then it / corporate job.
Yep. Made sense a lot later than I'd like to accept.

Solid video, I like how quick and focused they are. Your channel progression inspired me to start making small videos on TH-cam. Keep it up man! 👍👍😀
Hell yeah!
Thank you for your blender checklist it's really helpful for me .

Now we need a checklist to remind us to use this checklist 😄

New stache video yay 😅
Damn! This is so awesome. Thank you... About to fill my copy with relevant resource

Man, you should work at Star Citizen, help you with water physics and everything you know. Leave your mark on that project my friend. Trust me.
You overestimate me my friend. Way too much. I appreciate it nonetheless
Your channel is fabulous and so inspiring 👌🏻 What laptop and graphics card do you use for Blender these days? Or is it still your legion laptop?
Still the same. Till the next video. And then I have a desktop ready
Loved the video. When can we expect new pc setup video😂😂😂😂😂
Lolz. Not this year for sure
You are an Angel
Aww thanks man
very nice resource to have!

Of course. You can watch whatever's on there

Another lazy bones here ladies and gentlemen. Who didn't watch the whole thing
@@stache_obj i watched the whole thing. IDK if you "wrote the list for yourself" i want it.
I've clearly mentioned in the video where you can find the link. C'mon. Watch it one more time. I promise you'll find it
Damn useful, increase creativite by trying different things in different scenes, and training the mussels for more techniques
am trying to copy it but i think drop us some pdf ,or am just lazy lol .thanks man its very helpful
Brilliant and yet easy to implement. Many thanks for your effort.
Thank you!

How fo you feel about baking materials and scenes before rendering? Specifically around animations.
Uff I'm the wrong person to ask that. I have no experience around baking unfortunately
@@stache_obj I guess my underlying question is, how to make animations render faster. I’ve read that baking scenes can help with render times. But any other tips you have would be great!

Hell l happy to help Sandy. Better late than never right
Can you make a video showcasing your process from blender to resolve? Thanks.
I've dot to dot followed what polyfjord's tutorial taught me. You should follow that
Hi, how did you make character's eye? is it using addon? its really cool
Tiny eye addon by tinynocky
Where to download the check list?
Great video 👍
only useful. thank you for sharing!
I love your videos
I need to learn Blender...... Cinema 4D is nice but Belnder seems to me to have taken off..... quite insane
It's not industry standard by any means like c4d and Maya are but the community is what is 100 times better here in the blender world
could you make your spreadsheet available? It looks really helpful!
You didn't watch the whole thing did you lazy bones?
I see people talking bout stache sharing the checklist... am i just stupid? Cause i cant seem to find it anywhere..
Didn't watch the video carefully did you?
@@stache_obj oh sorry i was still watching the video and was kinda late so maybe i missed it. I shall try again! Love your videos btw very helpful truly
im disappointed that making sure nodewrangler is enabled isnt on the list :(
Lol
6:57 I see what you did there
What who where...i didn't do nothing 👀
Hi Stache, I got a question. How did you get inspiration if u have a creative block? I honestly don’t know what to make..
I don't know man. It's the strangest things that inspire you. A song, or a movie or a book or literally anything. I feel like there's too much inspiration in the world. We just gotta look through the right lens
Can you share your list? I couldn't find any link or download to it in the description/comment
Bet you didn't watch the full video. Or didn't pay attention
@@stache_obj i watched the whole video, dont know how i missed that part xd, thx. I think there can be a value to have a list with additions from the community. to collect knowledge from everyone and try tips from other peoples(probably should be supervised) but i think it can be really cool
is there a copy of the document that I can use?
Did u watch the whole video?
I think if you are a beginner you can achieve photorealism with these checks, not a 100% true statement it depends upon you
Can we have the checklist please?
Didn't watch the whole video did you? 😂
@@stache_obj I commented middle of the video. 😭😭😭. Then I saw the part when you said to build our own one and it's actually not something which is a must. But I really liked the idea. Cz I'm super lazy to create something new.
@studynow9284 the actual list is also there buddy. Look closely.
And yeah the best implementation of the idea is to have a custom list
Can i have your checklist on google sheets please ?
didn't watch the whole video, did you ?
@@stache_obj I forgot to delete the comment 😅😅
Like, for Białystok:)
can u send the checklist
Why don't you watch the whole thing lazy bones

It scares me that you refer to yourself as a beginner/intermediate artist, man. You're beyond that, imho.

There's nothing wrong with that. Different people have different workflows because the art they're creating is different.
