Good shaders. Probably fun tricks in geometry nodes.

By studying all the quirks of retro claymation and recreating them digitally. Notice the maquettes and the hairdos "boiling" and the awkward way they move?
He also nailed the clay maquette look of things and the studio lighting.
The ENTIRE thing hinges on the author faking the imperfections of actual claymation, and the way you learn that is by consuming a whole bunch of old claymation until you understand what makes it different from bog standard, tweened CGI animation.
Maybe a bit too overboard with the "old 80s vhs" blur but outstanding work nonetheless.

I've been working on handpainted miniature looking 3D scenes the last year and I think some similar concepts apply here. Most important are proper camera setup (focal length, DoF etc.) and correct texture (and model) scale (these objects are small so surface normals on them will look much larger than on real-life sized objects. All the details are enlarged and stylized. Put some scanned real life objects and characters next to these to compare them and you'll see obvious differences. Also helps to model in appropriate imperfections on models that happen on this scale due to them being handmade.

Really cool stuff, I was thinking about experimenting with this style as well. Then I might try the look where the stuff is made from cardboard where the textures look like they are drawn with a felt pen.

Good shaders, also lots of care to make it move like stop motion and add little details that "give it away" like nylon strings whenever something's not grounded.

Equally inspiring and depressing at the same time. These things make me sad that I specialized so much in environments / props, but at least it got me a job in the industry for now. I'm trying to create short videos from my environments and go from there, but it's just isn't right without characters, and environment storytelling can only go so far. There's still plenty to learn to get to this level though. All the rigging and animation... I could create those environments and materials, but not sure I'd be able to pull off the lighting. Not to mention the amount of time it takes me to finish anything due to me being undecisive about literally every polygon on a model, let alone the entire short film like this.

people would rather watch character animation with little to no environment than a detailed environment with little to no character animation. I keep telling you guys this, that environment is a dead end, but you never listen until you're literally multiple years behind

I can imagine an animation video without characters. With relatively simple animations, and good sound design and camerawork.
Like some abandoned place, suddenly the radio starts working. The radio is your character. Then it starts raining.
Or you can have a first person view animation with a radio conversation, lets say a house, a car stops, the door opens, but it's empty. Next we see the car through a snipers telescopic sight, and hear the voice of the sniper telling someone that he doesn't see shit. And someone is telling him back that there is someone, and he should look closer. Like the driver of the car has some invisible suit or something.

Well yeah, environments are dead end if your goal is to make movies and get views, but that wasn’t my goal originally. Not sure about being years behind, you’re saying it like all those modeling, lighting and texturing skills don’t matter or don’t pay off eventually. You still need those in any movie. I wanted to get good at one thing first, then spread thinner later on, and not just achieve results as fast as possible and be average at everything + not have a backup plan because I’m not job ready in neither of 3d areas.

The problem is when you do become good enough but at that point you realize there’s still so much to learn in your specialized area so you go even deeper into it instead of starting to spread out once you achieve a certain level. That’s what is happening to me right now. I can make great environments, but now career keeps forcing me to improve in that area even more instead of just spending time and learning character art or something.

Yeah that’s nice and kind of stuff I’ve been working on as well. But still, the other guy is probably right - how many people would actually appreciate that compared to movies with actual characters? Probably just other environment artists who understand the amount of work and skill required to achieve even that. But they are looking at it from a viewpoint of a professional artist, not a normie viewer. I feel it’s limiting and I wish to be able to create some work that will be appreciated by a wider audience one day. I even feel like my shorts don’t even deserve to be called shorts because of this. It’s just an animated camera with some music and vfx at the end of the day.

>can't make money of enviroment art
Have you tried to make shit to architects and people that like architecture and make shit like the third and the seven?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAFUYNVDl3k

If you want to focus on enviroment, you need to ask yourself who the fuck gives a shit about enviroment 3D art.

>but but character movies
Just make a movie with enviroment shots and pay a hooker from japan to voice act some script then use shadows and other shit to tell a story using the enviroment.

Like use a crime scene where some drunk dude rapes and murder his wife and daughter, and just put some journalistic voice over telling a dramatic retelling of the story.

If you're an environment artist and can't tell a compelling story using the environment alone, you need to pick a different profession. That's literally your fucking job.

It. Is. Limiting. I doubt you don’t understand that. But The third and the seventh is a great example, yeah. I still doubt normies would prefer it over the one in the OP or anything else with actual characters with a dialogue / monologue. It’s mostly architecture and 3d people who care about it. But it is definitely creative and probably the best example I can think of.

If you want a classic claymation look you animate pose-to-pose forward at whatever framerate you desire without any interpolation on your inbetweens.

In the past the real beauty of the advent of CG for animators was how the interpolation could be computed automatically and that smooth natural continuous motion was now possible.
But now it's the future and here you are Op, wanting to go back to the past: to make some jerky moves that suck ass.
