This kid took the Ian Hubert philosophy to heart and good on him. I think there's something to be said for 'just doing' something instead of sweating the technique to a fault (like many do). My only complaint is it looks TOO much like something Ian Hubert would make. I hope he develops his own style

Oh, it's that kid with 3d work that induces suicide thoughts... I opened a thread about him here as well once.

And only 2 fucking months wtf. Doesn't matter if he is doing the Ian Hubert workflow, it's still a long movie and he had to research everything in that time. Just how.

This guy will end up being a creative director one day while the rest of us autists will still be 3D monkeys obsessing over technical bullshit. Again, 2 fucking months, in that time I can barely make a small environment, or even a single hero prop, and I'm like 15 years older than him and work in the industry on well known projects.

I need to learn how to get this "old 60s film photography look" as well btw, if anyone has any tips or good online sources, I'd appreciate it.

I think what makes it like a real movie the most is postprocessing and he basically uses premade stuff, check this out. Only at the end does it actually start looking real good.

Fuck me if I won't try to make a project with this method, only focusing on shots, lighting and cameras. The amount of times I had a bigger idea like this and ended up having to cut it down to 1% because of technical bullshit (I was doing everything properly and from scratch and it took forever) is insane.

I didn't mean to say the 'Ian hubert' technique automatically = good renders. it should not discount how skilled he is. I just get pissed off with how many people on this board just accuse him of 'cheating.'

Eh, depends what your goals are. If you want a proper job in a studio as an environment artist, or a modeler, material artist, prop artist etc. then this CAN be considered cheating as it is quite useless in production. Maybe he could get a job as a lighting artist somewhere with these skills, not sure about anything else. But who cares, he'll probably do his own thing and end up in a better position than all of us combined anyway. He definitely has a talent and it is quite painful to witness and not get your ego hurt, I agree.

Exactly, anons here should stop reinventing the wheel out of pride. People only care about the final outcome, not the addons you don’t use or the topology you have. If your goal is to make a good movie, game, or a render, then do everything you can to make a good movie, game, or render. Focusing on the small stuff makes you miss the bigger picture.

The wheel reinventing reminds me of smug enginedevs who smugly scoff at people using unity or unreal, only still work on a game that looks completely outdated despite not reaching the prototype stage.

You can always refine or optimize later when you succeed. You're not working hard when you intentionally work slow, you're making excuses to procrastinate.

study half a dozen films, ones that you like- snag camera shots , scene flows that "work"- and implement it into your own work. You have to have a sturdy vision with what you want to make- The good thing about this kid being a kid, is that he doesn;'t have that "lost time" feeling where you start thinking "ah damn is this really the best thing to make?" Instead, kids just spend the dog days making the thing they set out on. Again, pre production is important here for adult brains- solidify the idea so it is solid throughout. Then the dog day work won't breed so many doubts.

To the video in the OP, it is a well-rounded short-, if you dissolve what age or skill level he is- it stands as a solid short, but nothing ground breaking or noteworthy to make anyone here feel bad. The part that lacks the most- The work is puddle deep. And this is because he is just a young kid, so you can't really fault it for that. On a technical level, looks good

WTF do you mean with reinventing the wheel in this context?
Its about priorities when it comes to quality vs quantity. He, like Ian Hubert gravitates towards the latter while sacrificing the former - totally valid deal since resources and time is limited, but not everybody wants that, and pretending one is better than the other exposes you as an retard. Context matters, you are ignoring it completely.
>Focusing on the small stuff makes you miss the bigger picture.
Bullshit, it just means you spent more time on the whole, most people don't have a birds brain and forget stuff because they focus on something else.
>You're not working hard when you intentionally work slow, you're making excuses to procrastinate.
So when someone spends extra effort and time on details they are not working hard but rather procrastinate? Do you have any idea how retarded that sounds?
Also can you construct an argument about something without putting down something else or is that too much to ask, shit for brain?

And now remember what you had at 14. And what kind of software and tutorials you had.

I'll tell you what the fuck I had. First thing I had is a shittiest used PC from my uncle with the shittiest GeForce gpu at that time. It barely handled Windows. Then in 2011 I got some shitty PC with GT630 or some shit like that.
And tried couple Grayscalegorilla Vimeo tutorials in Cinema 4D. Rendered out some shiny text transformation, and then forgot about 3D, cause my PC won't handle shit. And then everything went to shit, I grew and grew, and had no time for any 3D stuff. Last thing I had is a GTX 650 2 gig. Tried fucking around in Zbrush, AE, Premiere etc. Did couple projects, but never had the self-esteem to post it online.

And don't forget that we didn't have YouTube back in '05, and if we did, it was wild place with shitty 240p cat vids.

This, that anon is trying to make me feel bad when at that age I’m not sure I even had a computer, the first one was a cheap laptop. Also I didn’t waste my youth playing vidya, I was in a school the whole day and successful as a musician. This kid just makes me feel bad in a way that I’m looking back at it and wondering if it was a mistake to quit that path when I was also like him in that area. I switched to many different things and now am in 3d as well, only a decade+ older than him with a little bit more time experience.

Anyway, I always thought about doing my own shit like him, and I slowly push out more complex cinematics as personal projects, but I thought I should do it properly by learning the craft of 3d, and getting good at it enough that one day I could focus more on the bigger picture. Now it looks like a mistake and maybe I should have done this instead from a beginning because now I feel I’m heading down the path of a production cog in a machine, and I don’t like that.

Sounds like pure copium. They focus on quality, that's why they release quality short films with a large amount of views.
>So when someone spends extra effort and time on details they are not working hard but rather procrastinate?
Yes. Why aren't you using decals or displacement/normal maps that already exist? No one cares about your special custom skin sculpt that you wasted time on. Especially if it looks worse than the ones sold online.

People in the industry focus on speed since the final product matters.
>Also can you construct an argument about something without putting down something else or is that too much to ask, shit for brain?
Oh please, you're just jealous of that kid. You can make a film just like him, just work smart. There's nothing wrong with learning from those above or below your skill level.

They focus on efficiency and creating a final product that expresses their artistic vision as film-maker, walking the thin line of maximising productivity while maintaining a satisfying quality. In order to get there it is absolutely necessary to make compromises somewhere and it shows in the end result, since A+ Hollywood VFX visual quality AND 2 minutes runtime are exclusive and impossible to archive for an single artist in that time.
You mean quality as in "a nice end result" and I don't disagree with you here, he delivered that, but your definition of quality isn't universal and not the only one. Context matters.
People have different goals and quality standards and these need to be judged accordingly. If I spent 2 months creating a photorealistic 10 seconds shot, then you saying its crap because it isn't 2 minutes long and doesn't tell a story is simply idiotic.
You may enjoy the 2 minutes short more, but this is subjective and irrelevant to my goal and the overall context.
>Why aren't you using decals or displacement/normal maps that already exist? No one cares about your special custom skin sculpt that you wasted time on. Especially if it looks worse than the ones sold online.
Stupid strawman argument.
You insist on conflating high quality and high detailed work with incompetence in production / autism or unnecessary perfectionism. Its correct to criticise people who do that for their inability to get results, but this isn't the discussion here, you just misrepresent it as such in an attempt to win the argument. Doesn't work, you loose the argument and look like an idiot.
>People in the industry focus on speed since the final product matters.

I am starting to realize this puristic approach I have is gonna lead me nowhere except to misery (aka a modeling monkey in a AAA studio). I have skills, I'm working in the industry, I have been featured in various places, I even have experience in teaching gamedev IRL. So I'm asking myself - why the fuck do I not just start my own YT channel I always wanted to do anyway, and just start uploading some tutorials, I'm sure I can do it better than most of these YT faggots with no actual experience in the industry. And then just go from there, I'll also upload my personal projects there as well, I've been focusing on cinematics lately anyway, so the video format will work well on YT (I only uploaded to Vimeo before like a retard). Nothing to lose really.

I also already have ideas what to make because I've been bombarded by requests from 3D communities to make videos on certain topics, so there's even an external motivation to do it.

But I think I need to balance the complexity of topics and pick good subjects that could also be popular for noobies, because as the Donut Guru said, THAT is the niche that is watching tutorials mostly. I know there are other skilled senior artists who have YT channels, but they were not able to get a huge following due to, what I believe to be videos that are TOO in-depth, too long and just overall boring. Which makes sense because that is how it is on the job, lots of technicalities which aren't exactly fun to watch, and they just show all of that to the viewer. So as I said, I need to balance the depth and approachability of it all.

I wish myself luck.

Yawn. Stop making excuses.

Why are you so asshurt at me telling you to follow your dreams? You're going to regret not executing your ideas in the name of pride and perfectionism.

The difference between you and that kid is that he doesn't give a fuck. He just does everything he can to make a movie.

I just dont believe it, maybe it's massive cope on my end. If he's really 14 I don't believe it's a solo project.

At 14 I was rushing home after school to play phantasy star online before my mom got home or it was to jerk off on the computer to FREE BRAZILIANS WEBCAMS

never heard of this kid

came here to shit on him (99.999999% of "check out this thing made by a 14 year old" posts are trash, so i anticipated as much), but by golly this kid clearly has a massive amount of skill and talent

sure his parents bought him an expensive rig and whatever, but that doesnt matter. he's got a great eye for lighting, composition, storytelling, etc.

were looking at true lightning in a bottle here fellas. savor it. enjoy it. you will be lining up outside the kinoplex to see this kids movies in 10 years.

This kid will be chewed, burnt out and kicked from the industry before he's 30. He's already making waves and judging by the coping and seething in this thread alone I don't think industry people will be any more magnanimous. Before long some envious lead will come along and sabotage his career, staying indie and relying on revenue from his following is his best chance of making it.

There isn't a big difference between me and that kid, when I was 15 I started to make a fuckton of 2D and 3D animations consisting of nothing but brutal violence and gore that gave my parents and my school psychologist nightmares, and they haven't even seen the porn stuff I made.

This is not the 2000s, literally thousands of curious kids worldwide are being exposed to 3D media and tutorials to create it, using gaming PCs that are more than enough to produce the kind of content this kid is making. There should be dozens of cases like him, but there aren't. Why? Well, either he is a true prodigy and is doing something beyond the capacities of 99.9% of kids, or he's got more support and help than is typical. Anyhow, as >>861015

More cases in what way? There are a lot of people who can produce content like this, and actually create their assets from scratch on top of it. They just didn’t happen to blow up on social media for whatever reasons. Even me included, I made a short which only got a few thousand views in total across different platforms and I couldn’t believe how much some people loved it and cared to write longer feedback about it. Even by various well known pros in the industry. Still, it never managed to get seen by a wider population.

Anyway, I think I really need to figure out how to put some characters in my future projects. I’ve always done projects without them which are effectively “just” a camera going through the environment. Those kinds of movies become kinda experimental by default and you really have to push the visual quality and add some symbolisms in the mix. I’m feeling the storytelling limitations because of it and it hurts.

I’ll need to do either some kitbashed robots like this or some ghostly figures covered by robes so you can’t see their body. Pretty much what other people are doing as well, but when you’re not a character artist you have to hide the details somehow.

alright, i took a very rough look at his stuff, there might be a lots of thinfs i got wrong here but i think he's pretty good actually.

he knows how to render stuff for sure.
and he does that pretty well, actually.

he sortof knows how to animate. but like the other people were pointing out he has a mocap, it just makes the job easier for him

i noticed he makes his models using IRL reference pictures as the source for his textures.
while i don't really know if this approach is good or bad, i know that he can make real life pictures used as textures look nice.
he probably retouches them in photoshop

another thing that i found out is that he makes his models by kinda like kitbashing his own assets. his spaceships/models are basically a bunch of separate pre made props meshed together.

overall, he's not bad. not even i know how to properly "steal" textures from real life photos and make them look good like he does.

he's certainly better than the jealous fatties having a meltdown in this thread, though...

Just watch Ian Hubert’s tutorials, the kid basically copies him 1 to 1 in everything he does. It really isn’t that hard. He knows how to present stuff, I’ll give him that. A lot of people don’t know how to properly light the scene and postprocess it, which ruins all their hard work.

If he has a $5000 mocap suit for his personal use at 14 he has a personal tutor, a rich kid will rarely ever not have one. Animation Mentor teachers all offer personal classes+feedback on the side for pocket change. I don't think he actually made it in the first place because the whole short in particular reeks of adult-minded pretentiousness. What 14 year old makes a story about a cool-looking robot... Who lounges in a pool with his booze like a boomer? What 14 year old is concerned with making sure every part of the project is up to par, rather than hyperfocusing on his interests and neglecting the boring parts? What 14 year old spends 2 months on a boring, corporate-looking promotion-bait video? His first ever story animation is a fucking motor oil advertisement? Either someone did all the real work for him or he's a an excellent corporate stooge even at the age of 14.

Monty Oum was a real 3d prodigy. His personal projects were very experimental and haphazard, there was a visible line between what his passion focused and what he just did the bare minimum on to make the project work, and it was only when he himself started working professionally that he was forced to expand his skills beyond "poser/ripped models beating the shit out of eachother in N64-esque environments". His work was full of honesty and still enjoyable, I found The Drink to be unenjoyable and full of dishonesty, it's no wonder people doubt the story behind it.

This is the real dead giveaway of it all. The video is full of boomerisms. None of the subject matter in this video is something that a teenager would give a shit about. Either that or the kid's basically a zombie whose dad has a rock-solid grip on all his interests. It's probably a publicity stunt the dad came up with to promote a 3d production company with his son as the figurehead.

Honestly yeah, if you're a beginner/hobbyist/student showing off your personal progress as a 3D artist, it makes sense to make it obvious what's your work and what's not, or just do everything yourself. I actually praised his work ethic in an earlier post, but it's always a bit annoying when normies see this kind of stuff and don't get the full picture of how one 14 year old actually manages to produce such work that seems to be absolutely pro level.

Isn't it obvious? It's a combination of things, but the age is the biggest one. You may work in the industry and be a great artist, but you never blew up like this kid and it is hard to live with that. It's hard to see someone with only a couple of years of experience managing to achieve better salary solely through Patreon than you who spent mutiples of that time to grind your skillset in order to climb the corporate ladder. If it was an adult or someone close to your age, it can be easier, but when it is a literal child beginner, it's tough to accept it. Maybe you can achieve much better results than him, but nobody will care now. You don't have a community built around you. You're not a kid anymore so you don't get extra points automatically for that. You wish you were able to have all those resources this kid had when you were his age.

You start questioning your life choices and think what could have been if you started as young as he did.

So then you cope by trying to find his weaknesses, whatever they may be. He is using premade assets, he is buying other people's work, changing it a bit and reselling, he doesn't have a "proper" tehnically correct workflow and so on. Maybe if would have been a better idea when you started learning 3D to do what he does and focus on a bigger picture. Now he's gonna end up being your director while you will be his production slave.

Dude, you really need to read your own post several times, and then several more times after that.

Who really gives a fuck that he is using other peoples assets? He at least started something and then finished it and has something to show for it in the end.

Are you really that far into denial that you are trying to make more excuses for his finished project?

To answer the beginning of your sentence, as you begin you need to understand the rules and the inter-workings of whatever said hobby but it's okay to not study every, tiny, single thing in said hobby either. You get a feel for what you like and what you want to do eventually. The end result is what matters. The people in this thread seem to be so incredibly butthurt that this kid is using assets instead of creating this all from scratch that I don't think a lot of people in this thread can fathom that it doesn't matter at the end of the day. It's far easier to criticize than it is to create. But it's completely obvious that there are some failed artists on this board that would rather try to dox the kid and dig up information as if it's a "gotcha" kind of moment rather than understanding that it's okay if someone is using assets. Just because we all have an understanding of how 3D works, how hard and labor intensive it is, and how long it can take to achieve any results; all I see in this thread, except for a select few that actually admitted that they are jealous and wish they could've had those resources available at that age, is that people are bitter and jealous.

No need to start schizo ranting at me. Schools encourage/require students to make their own original 3D assets and I would do the same, because that shows your true progress as a 3D artist. This kid can post whatever he wants on YouTube, but I'd prefer it if the viewers got the full picture of what actually goes into content like this instead of thinking a 14 year old just churned all of it out in Blender all by himself.

You are confusing jealousy and skepticism. Given how unusual it is for a 14 yo to make something like this, it's totally normal to wonder how much of it is true. Publicity stunts involving "prodigies" are more common than the real thing. The fact that the dad has money, seems to be a good entrepreneur (read the news article other anon shared here), and apparently washes his kid in expensive state-of-the art tech should be a red flag to anybody with half a brain. I'm not saying this whole thing is a fabrication; only that we shouldn't immediately take everything as presented, especially when there is money involved.

Also, "doxing"? None of the info put here is private. The father publicizes his son's work in the open (go see his Twitter), and the details about his job are also public (go to his company's site). The info is brought here only to cast more light on the kid's environment and get a better idea of what allows him to make what he does.

I made this render more than 10 years ago. Was quite a bit older than 14. I knew I messed up smoothing groups on the top of flashlight, but I didn't want to wait for another 2 hours. Let's say I decided to do a 2 minute video with that one flashlight alone at 30 fps in HD resolution. It would take 2 whole years just to render.
I was experimenting with motion capture back then too, using a single 2MP camera and some free software I can't remember.

It's funny, i consciously ignored this when seeing Ton link to it in his twitter, but this thread made me curious to watch it. I've been doing 3D on and off for 20 years now and over that time i have developed this psychological shielding mechanism when it comes to comparing my work to others because the only thing it does is make you miserable. I wasn't aware this was done by a 14 year old, just the sight of the thumbnail with the glass alone triggered that instinct - "this is probably going to be really good, better than you, you will feel terrible, ignore this".

Looking at good work can have a very positive and inspirational value for an artist, but only when it empowers you to try your hand at it and produce more artwork. If all it does is crush your hopes and dreams by marketing itself with the "i'm 14 and made this in 2 months gg ez" angle, then it's a toxic influence that's harmful to your creative passion. Everything about it is very deliberately made to get you to pay for tutorials, asset packs, NFTs and to generate youtube views. It's a hollow personal success story like the ones you hear from MLM/pyramid scheme pitches and i think the best thing to do is ignore it.

>The video is full of boomerisms.
So what, I don't buy this as "dead giveaway" for some elaborated conspiracy. This is true cope in order to protect your ego, and I have been quite vocal in this thread against people hyping him up too much.
When I was 14 I was EXTREMELY influenced by the taste and world-views of the male role models around me and I think this is true for most 14 year old boys.
My music taste was made up exclusively from artists that my father, my uncles and my elder cousins loved, filled with nothing but 60s 70s Hippie/Boomer music.
My movie taste was the same, I saw and loved all the Hollywood classic he and my older male relatives grew up with.
I was reading the same books than my father from his personal library.
I was picking the same hobbies as him going to photography classes and painting/drawing because he and my uncles influenced me by showing their (limited) artistic expression and I wanted to imitate them.
My father made a stop-motion animation with Lego figures for me as birthday gift when I was 10 and it blew my mind and It was one of the things that created my own desire to be an artist. He was the source and origin of my artistic soul.
Its just that he wasn't nearly as talented when it comes to art, but he pushed me to follow through with it and supported me by sending me to art courses and paying tutors.
Only when I grew a couple years older did my own taste formed itself as I explored things that where beyond what was already known to me (and him).
With 14 you don't rebel against you father/family, you soak up what they have to say and imitate them. With puberty the personality and taste of a boy forms itself slowly and things change.
Even if there is a strong influence of his father in his work and he did help him a lot, it doesn't detract the slightest from his own talent and ability.

Ha, this did a few rounds in our internal email, it's how I knew about it.

Hot take: the one and only thing carrying the entire short is cinematography.
Kid has definitely good taste in cinema and for framing shots, despite some being literal 1:1 copies from existing movies (i.e., Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), doesn't matter though, still good shots.
Everything else is pretty poor once you lift off that veil, as you'd expect.

But if you look at his ego-stroking "My 2 years of progress in Blender" video, you can see he already had good taste for shots, lighting and camera angles. Again, evidently he spent time watching and appreciating good cinema during childhood instead of watching Scary Movie 69 or whatever other bullshit toilet-humor kids his age watch to feel like adults.

He also evidently has daddy buy him an RTX 2080 rig and a mocap suit at 14, which is a big help most people don't have, for sure.
Him, or his sugar daddies, the over-30s who hope to buy back the time they wasted during their late teens and 20s levelling their WoW characters and looking down their peers who didn't play/had lower level characters by pledging to his Patreon.

Not to mention himself not wasting time with the usual bullshit and actually working towards his goals, props to him for that.

I can definitely see the kid going for either Comp, Lighting, to Art Director or even Director. Pretty standard career path, although again, unless he becomes the next Tarantino, he'll make more money siphoning cash from the over 30s who are greasing his ego rather than work in the industry anyway.

It feels like a corporate commercial. The most impressive thing about the short is how sterile, unoriginal, and out-of-touch it is for something that supposedly came from a teenager. He clearly had help, and otherwise plagiarized aggressively, which in cinematography is basically impossible to prove. This short is the 3d equivalent of posting a sparknotes page claiming it's their analysis.

The pool shots are literally 1:1 with Once Upon A Time in Hollywood. If he didn't steal and project the BGs of those very same shots on his own then he's dumb.
A shot of the car trip reminds me of Joker riding in the police car in The Dark Knight.

However, it doesn't really make anything bad, they're good shots, by big-shot directors (pun absolutely intended). Again, kid has good taste in cinema.
It might feel "unoriginal" because while watching it you feel you have already seen the same movie but not quite, because, well, that's exactly what it is. It's basically a kitbash of existing shots from existing movies.

It's how everything original came to be, duh. A reinterpretation of existing work. He'll be developing his own style in no time, good for him. But what irks me a little is all the ego-stroking going on, mostly just because of his age.
Sure, he figured out what he wants to do at 14, but that's not particularly impressive as much as it is telling of how the average 14 year old plays Fortnite all day and wants to become a twitch streamer instead.

In a world where the majority of people can barely count past 10, you're not Einstein just because you can solve linear equations, that's what I'm saying.

Copying already popular directors doesn't say anything about taste because it just means they know what's popular. Monty Oum had an iconic and unique style from the very first video he made, because he was actually ambitious and passionate. Everything in the short is completely derivative and aimless, he copies someone else's rendering methods 1:1 and someone else's scenes 1:1. Even as a kitbash, a kitbash will use the parts as necessary to make something original, the sum is supposed to outweigh the parts in some way. If you're picking a scene from a director because it looks good and the director's popular rather than it's a necessary part of the desired outcome you're not kitbashing anymore, you're reskinning. In regards to passion, the Drink is a 2 minute beverage commercial for a product that doesn't exist. It's an utterly cynical tech demo. There's no way this is made by a teenager because the sheer amount of corporate soullessness (not to mention the dry corporate style storytelling "hehe robot man just wants a drink so quirky and human please relate to us :^)") is utterly uncharacteristic of a teenager's passion project.

The timely extensive monetization network pretty much confirms it. It's just a conjob set up by the dad.

That's exactly what I mean, you were just defending him in a 4chin thread, imagine the mental gymnastics those who are PAYING him would need to go through to justify themselves once they figure it out. Oh, they will, totally. Anything to not let their egos shatter in a million tiny pieces. And so a new cycle of simping is born, and goes on and on.

However, unabashed plagiarism is the first step you need to do in order to become good at anything. Standing on the shoulders of giants and all that.
But see, FIRST STEP.
It seems his "fans" would already give him a damn VES Award or an Oscar if it was up to them.

I hope for him he picked the shots himself and it wasn't some other dude pointing them out for him, or else yes, his future work will suck ass. Imitating good things better people did is useful when YOU had the eye to pick them out from the rest because they "spoke" to you, not because someone else told you to do them, which is why I disagree with your notion that he doesn't have eye for framing, assuming the best-case scenario.

Yeah, I’m suprised as well to see he copied even the shots, that was the only thing I appreciated about this. I also noticed in the past that he was selling some color grading stuff which he made by literally tweaking the values of some plugin and reselling them. That’s like downloading a rusted metal smart material from substance source, increasing the amount of rust value and selling it to retards on gumroad.

Now I wonder how he made that kinda interesting camera addon which simulates realistic cinematic bokeh, I doubt he coded anything by himself.

But capeshit is more popular. The numbers don't lie.
Your whole argument hinges on him just copying what's popular. He would've copied capeshit and not QT.
Could it be perhaps that instead Tarantino is actually a good director while capeshit is just the Marlel cash cow?

Dude, I don't like this nor this kid as much as the next guy whose brain isn't consumed by the mindless simping mania, but render unto Caesar still holds true.

I like it. Reminds me thematically of these Command and Conquer cut scenes from the 90s where a bunch of random units go at each other. That also was my reason to get into 3D after playing CnC .

Also, never ever do not use motion blur for cinematic work. If you can't afford the render time, export motion vectors to do it in post or use simple vector motion blur in app.

Agree, but If I remember correctly, there was no option for real motion blur available in C4d only a cheap hacky effect where it rendered several frames and blended them together, but you could see the stepping of the frames in the result, so I left it out (also took too long to render).
I do remember that when I was doing this animation that the shockwave effect of the explosion (true ray-traced refraction) took hours to render for a single frame.
I left the computer render overnight and my dad kinda scolded me for being too much of an perfectionist.
I remember these C&C cinematic, my friend was a huge fan playing this all the time.
I was largely inspired by the movie Avalon and I directly stole the shot of the Shilka AA tank firing from the movie (yes I did steal).
You can see it at 0:48 in the trailer:

More stuff that could be done in post instead, but I know the problem very well. Early on I wasn't very good at judging what techniques were appropriate to use so I brute-forced my way through many projects. Weeks of wasted rendering time. :DDD

You have no idea how many times I went on an rant here on /3 trying to get this in the heads of people. People who know how to do compositing can often cut out 50% of the work (and rendertime) necessary and get a better result faster than doing it all in 3D.
The same kind of people jizz all over their pants when they see Ian Huberts work and "his brilliant hacks/workflow".
They hate on the industry wagies and the industry standard while being totally clueless that everything he does was the standard 20 years ago.

I admit this mindset is something I need to get rid of when I sometimes do offline work. I'm just focused on realtime art in Unreal and it's normal to do everything "in engine", so I'm used to that workflow. But even there it's now possible to render out various render passes and I could still do some stuff in post I guess. It's just a question when and why would I do that.

background replacement is what can make your renderers 10x -100x faster and more efficient, while its also possible to cram so much detail in your image that you couldn't render it without a renderfarm, but this mostly only works if the background is static and there is not much parallax or shifts in perspective. But this works even if you move your camera all over the place.

His renders are impressive, and if he only wants to make renders and scenes, then power to him, but if that is all he can do, then I'm not impressed. I spend 90% of my time making models, whether it be sculpting or modeling. The process of making a scene from scratch is incomparable to making a scene from premade assets. That said, he is definitely building his skills as a scene creator.

If assets are lacking then they are lacking, making them appear good at first glance and from afar is not the same as being able to create good looking assets that hold up from close up and in any situation. That being said, being creative and productive and doing a short like this is a balancing act since the law of diminishing return is a real thing and it bites many artist in the ass.
Many people posting in this thread are acting stupid by applying false judgement because they ignore context.
He is not an accomplished modeller with years of experience, so why judge him as if he where? It's stupid.
It cuts both ways, pretending he is better than a good modeller/sculptor, who is unable to do an short like this is as stupid.
Not everybody has to be able to do everything good, that's the realm of accomplished and matured generalists, which he is not (yet), and judging him as if he where is again stupid.
Many people in this thread are either over-hyping or undervaluing his work and ability. Both are wrong.
>The eye for visuals and appeal is definitely the most important skill to have.
I agree completely, if an artist has this skill than it trickles down into everything else he/she does and it is the basis for becoming/being a great (generalist or specialised) artist and the reason why people recommend learning and studying art fundamentals.
People have to understand that 3D is both art + technology. Neglect one and you will be at best mediocre, at worst - you fail completely.

Let's go slowly I guess.

Agreed.
That makes two of us.
Now, how many thousands don't actually agree with this notion, literally willing to put their money down to show you how much they disagree? Many.

Amongst the dozens of actually accomplished and matured generalists out there that you know how many also have this type parasocial relationship going on with thousands of people? It'd make sense that everyone else who is actually better than this kid would garner the same or even more attention.

TL;DR if he's just a kid messing around who just happens not to be a typical moronic child wasting his youth solely playing video games, why are people hailing him as the next big thing and letting their money talk for them? Who is right? Who is wrong?

People spent/waste money on a lot of stuff, that in itself is not such a clear communication as you make it.
His ability as an artist also doesn't necessarily stand in relation to being a successful "entertainer".
>how many also have this type parasocial relationship going on with thousands of people?
there are more (social) factors at play here. Personality is a big one, on both ends.
I assume that among his patreons are a lot similarly young people, who he inspires and for whom he is a role model - nothing wrong with that, its actually great if he can do that. That's actually a positive side of social media, I wish I had that level of contact to like-minded people my age when I was starting doing art.
>It'd make sense that everyone else who is actually better than this kid would garner the same or even more attention.
No it does not, sadly. We live in an attention economy and the Matthew effect of accumulated advantage applies here like in any other economy.
>why are people hailing him as the next big thing
Now we get to the potentially negative side of it.
I assume attachment, projection, compensation + dunning & krueger effect and the rest of all the unhealthy effects of social media play a role here.
I hope the parents of this kid have a watchful eye on this and him, being surrounded by too many yes-men and fans with strong expectations and entitlement could potentially become damaging on a psychological level if shit turns sideways.
I wouldn't lay any blame at his feet, for all we know he could be a pretty normal, nice and humble person.
Imagine become this successful at this age, getting into an rebellious phase (puberty), saying/creating something "problematic", only to get cancelled and swamped with toxicity.

Maybe I'm an old bitter man in a young man's body, but I never did understand this dynamic, especially when it comes to producing artwork, and probably never will.

You're not a fucking comedian, you're making a product. If your product is shit, then it's shit, if it's good, then it's good. Whether you pretend to be friends with everyone who sucks up to your for attention or not shouldn't matter, just like you wouldn't give preferential treatment to who insincerely greases your ego the most.
And before we even go there, "art is subjective" is a bullshit cope artlets use to justify their shit taste and their desperate need to make fake friends on the internet. It applies to the concept and not the execution of it.

I can make the stupidest basic bitch hand-holding "3d art tutorial" and all I will have succesfully done is waste the time of people who follow it, but since it's digestible for the 99% of artlets, then that and the dude making it gets more traction than the deep-diving technical course that actually teaches you how to do cool shit, because the same people give up at the first hint of actually having to use their brains for once.
Again, maybe I'm just bitter and old, but I'd have trouble sleeping at night if my "fame" as a metaphorical mathematician hinged on teaching people additions and subtractions, if you catch my drift.

I am a sweet young man in an old man's body and I am telling you, don't waste your time trying to understand the world, just accept it as it is.
You are trying to crash your squishy melon-head with force against an immovable and indestructible object, and deep down you know how it will end.
I can understand your frustration and your will to change the world, but you're not able to put a dent in it. You can only change yourself, so aim your will wisely.
>"art is subjective" is a bullshit cope
Anon, there is no good or bad, no beautiful or ugly, these are mental constructs and only living entities (subjects) have these. Even the distinction of subjective and objective and all the emotions you have in response to your perception of the world are mental constructs, there is only one thing and it is the universe and you are not separated from it and it just is.
Dissolve yourself / your self in it, let everything go, go with the flow, have trust in it and realize the non-separation as well as the fact that nothing ever stays the same.
Now ask yourself, what do you want (more)?
Fame/attention or becoming / being a great artist.
You already know that true and sustained satisfaction / happiness and peace only comes from within, rarely (almost never) from external factors alone.
Pick one, but don't attach yourself to nor desire specific results as these have a tendency to cause more avoidable suffering.
Draw your excitement and enjoyment from activity and being in the moment and disregard the mutterings of the monkey voice in your head and its judgement, do that consistently and you will experience results and wholesomeness.
Every other tactic is a self-inflicted Sisyphean punishment.

This applies to everything in life, for everybody.
Skip the mental drama, go straight to the source of experience and stay there.
Godspeed.
