Very well said. You definitely can self-teach and learn just about anything on the internet with the right drive and passion. If one's path is via school, so be it. If an alternate path is completely non-traditional, then so be that as well. Let passion be your guiding light.
I disagree, learning from free online UA-cam you’re learning other people’s processes and very different methods. The learning curve is incredibly slow. Find someone you like to learn from and stick with them hopefully. Sure you may learn, but most tutorials are do this do that and not “this is why we are doing this and why it’s important.”
As a generalist myself, I fully endorse everything in this video!!!! For everyone watching, listen closely to what this man is saying. I wish I had a video like this when I got started back in 2006. Thank you for making this video! I started my channel for the same reasons as you. It's great to see others sharing. Keep it up!!!
Dear Sir, you have been an inspiration . I watched this video when I was in suicidal depression and then I realized how I wanted to heal. its been 8 months and I have managed to start my little insta channel where I post my designs. Thank you Sir for inspiring me and giving me the courage to go and just do it .
Ayan, your story is of great help. I am old but I want to learn anyway. I want to be able to put into videos what is in my mind... Because of my age, not enough time and periodical discouragement I do not want to give up. Thank you Ayan and thank you Andrey and thanks to all the nice comments
@@francesb656 sir I really believe that the ability of us human to tell stories is what makes us unique. I would request you to please not stop yourself and just do it. Age is just a number . You can buzz me if you need any help. I can try with whatever I have managed to learn. Godspeed.
You are truly a special person, i at first thought i was to become an Attorney, but i hated my job, clients, some of my colleagues. The reality is what you said at the end of the video, ‘do something that inspires you’. After loosing both of my parents and one of my cats in the two years i hope that i will soon be able to start to recreate in VFX just like you. I just first have to finish the painful process of finishing/closing my parents estate. I never thought that this would take almost every bit of energy out of me. But yes my future will look bright, for the first time it is only up to me what i create and of course in the process of as this gets more intense, i will be able to support my cats and of course myself. Every time then i see your big office with all the computers, but no people yet bc of covid 19, i hope that i will in some time come to a similar stage there i will not work out of my apartment/ home office anymore, but out of an professional environment. And just like you i love SciFi, especially spaceships, Dark Matter was actually my most recent favorite sci-fi show and the CG & VFX effects of it were out of this world. But i guess we all need goals/dreams to challenge us to work even harder and of course to create more awesome/ real looking things, no matter what it is. I hope that my few words of wisdom will maybe inspire more of you to follow your heart and do what is your dream, not just a monthly paycheck, its hard to believe but that is as close to being death as you can be while still being alive. Like Andrey said lets get to our computers and create something, even if that means that you have to change your favorite Laptop/PC and use one better suited for VFX. Its just part of the Journey.
i am from korea. and i just decided to learn VFX by myself. i have watched so much of videos about VFX things but this video is one of the most video that i have ever seen before and so easy to understand. thank you very much Andrey.
the truth is, i never start his tutorial, learning vfx...but i like to see him talking, it's motivate me as beginner in graphic design. The jar with firefly that make me seeing his videos to far, it's legend. Thanks man..
I started at school with Modo, then I studied C4D and Zbrush as a self taught and took 6months to achieve a decente level. It took several weeks just for a single project. Just never give up, everything takes suck an incredible amount of effort and time. Keep in mind, in your demo reel, put just the 3 best project you did. And it shouldn’t be last more than 1min, 30 sec it’s better.
The first video I watched of yours was “How to create HDRI maps”. It was a random search online because I really wanted to create my own maps. But, deep down inside I just have a burning passion for learning how things work, I feel honestly that doing so give the knowledge it takes to produce intentional master pieces. I completely agree with your approach with learning. Because of your positivity I’ve started learning Nuke. I have 7 years experience using C4D, but I’ve always wanted to make the jump to compositing and FX. Currently working as a creative director and marketing director doesn’t leave me much time to peruse my passions. But you give me hope!
I have been learning 3D recently. My aim is to animate my own model and do vfx. What you said are entirely true as a generalist. Learning curve is very slow at firsf, but i am able to solve a lot problems with my own, which reward me satisfaction.
5:39 is 100% True! i experienced it myself, when i was in highschool i really wanted to create a 3d model of Pokemon, i spent all that years just wondering, how could i create something like that without any sofware and skills? all i have is only Passion, then some time in College, i met a friend that really skilled in 3d modeling, and he introduced me to cinema 4d, i was so amazed and happy at the sametime that i met this guy, he taught me all the basics of 3d and the fundamental tools, within 1 week, i have created 8 pokemon models with a riged body so that i can pose all that models, and then i started to post it on the forum that needs a 3d modeler, i submitted all my models there, and most of them said that there is no way that i could create something like that if i just started using c4d in 1 week,they said that i might took it from somewhere on the internet,and that makes me sad and happy at the same time.. the most important thing in learning, is ur Passion. (sorry if my english is really bad)
"Then.... your BRAIN start creating CORRECT QUESTIONS!" Millions of THX, man! You kicked me BACK into the "Game"... when i was (after Years of practicing) absolutly frustrated...and STOPPED. Now... i'm back IN, after receiving the most best Advice... from your short but HONEST Video. Спасибо большое!
In 2019, when I got introduced to cinema 4D, I stumbled on this video and laughed at the fact that when I get a motion design job, I won't get that passionate about client work and that I would still need to create my own work. Back then, the idea of getting paid for animating something was a dream, let alone getting burned out from it. Fast forward 5 years to 2024, and I was feeling like shit sucked in the trenches of never-ending work. To my surprise, I couldn't get "passionate" about the paid work; it started becoming choirs. And thank the gods or the universe, an echo of Andrey's voice appeared in my head: "Never stop creating." Thank you so much, Andrey; this video might have just saved me.
здорово, зафиксировал себе принципы с твоего видео: 1. Учиться на повторение проектов, которые мне нравятся 2. Решить что мне нравится больше всего сфокусироваться 3. Делать то что меня вдохновляет. 4. Создавать и не переставать создавать Спасибо большое!
man, i started self educating myself in VFX/CG, Post-Production, Motion Graphics and i had lost interest and hope since it was all so complex ... seeing your videos is giving me more hope and pushing me to keep learning and creating!! i sincerely thank you and appreciate you taking the time to make this videos... funny thing is it's been roughly 1 or 2 weeks since i found your channel simply looking into the Raytracing technique explanations! Thanks again and cheers from PR!
That’s funny because I started in vfx before 4 months in cinema 4d and there’s a company wants me to work for them . I can’t really tell you how much u help us 🤍🤍🤍🤍
This is the exact video i've been looking for! Inspiration at it's best! Thank you for this and I have a great feeling it's going to be very productive to us(VFX beginners) out there!
These are the most smart advices that I've seen from creators on internet. You can apply it for almost everything. Going to Uni for building connections and keep self learning and developping your own skills... The target is to become a problem solver rather that becoming an execution tool... Mate you're one of the smarter guy I'm proud to follow on internet. Thanks for the quality and the clarity of all the content you share... Have a Nice day.
Woah dude. I was slightly interested in how to learn CFX but instead you just told me all the steps to learn how to succeed in life. 1. Decide your goal 2. Choose your tools to achieve it 3. Start small, big, however. You have to start somewhere then build on that. I’m currently trying to pick a college degree and this vid has been more help than all those ‘college help’ vids combined.
i love this video because not only do u explain things genuinely, through your own experiences, these self study tips applies to more than just VFX, this is true for anything anyone wants to learn. Loved it!
I started with Softimage, then tried Maya, then C4D, then a little 3DSmax, then back to Maya. It is easier than the other software for me. All the tools are in the right place, laid out the right way. And tons of free lessons all over the internet. Now a little Houdini in the mix. It's better to try them all and see which one works best for you. A lot of pro artists use several tools for different things. I'm looking at Blender again because of some new tools that look cool. It's not either/ or. Use whatever helps you get the job done.
Maya isn't necessarily the industry standard everywhere. For example in FUI (fantasy user interface) design cinema 4d is a standard. And in some areas of character design zbrush outnumbers Maya.Thanks for the great break down tho! It's a great summary.
Start creating / "REPLICATING" this is most important part. No one can just go boom and make something pro, it takes time, overcome the learning curve, copy the tutorials, you will be happy but dont just copy, try to understand what you just did, why was a step a node a graph etc was important, dont copy values crank them up and down and remember what they do. Atleast this is what i think, i am still learning, not yet there but i feel confident.
ok so here is something for andrey i hope he sees this and make his day happy. Before 2 years i remember watching your videos and feeling like a completely noob. 2 years later and now i study interior architecture in greek university. now the thing is eveything here is like 20 years behind and old we dont do any 3d software or rendering modelling skills .... but as you say being in an academic environment does help you with things like generally knowledge about the things you will need like sizes desing theories colors etc. But that doesnt mean you cant study alone i tried starting with maya then switched to cinema 4D and now 3DSmax. :P THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS Andrey they are amazing and inspiring
Nice Video bro! This wasn't a "How to LEARN CG & VFX" completely but rather a motiviational video for any artist who seriously wants to start making art. SUBSCRIBED!
i have been working on Autodesk MAYA for long and yes it is Not User Friendly but let me tell you something. i learnt it all from youtube tutorials and udemy tutorials of 3D animation and rigging. Honestly i would say go with MAYA it's amazing tool once you get hang of it. i still remember my first project on maya was a simple rectangular box with 4 sphere as tyre. a car moving on the flat road and that was 5 years ago. patience pay off guys.
Depends on where you live, i went to uni here in sweden for vfx, it got me contacts and my job and we have a thing called CSN loan here which is almost interest free. That money is for just surviving, so food rent etc. The uni for us swedes is free so at the end of my education I was Only around 25k usd in debt and pay it back at 200usd every 3 months.
@@SwompyGaming I also live in a country where the government gives you money to pay the university and sustain yourself the condition is that don't fail
"Maya oh Maya" hahahaha that's so funny! I'm a long time Maya user been on Maya since version 2. I absolutely love it with vray it's really cool. Modelling is good and it's good at texture setups.. but it's viewport sucks. Great vids I like how you shared your early work here I just recently uploaded my own early showreel haha
jeffhaf1 yep been tinkering with Houdini for a couple years on and off there's some fun houdini vids on my channel I absolutely love it. I'm in the process of figuring out some muscle sim and cloth stuff to take anims to another level and I plan on doing some more creative work with it I just adore the software. I've found it isn't as nice as Maya to work with animation but it's something that is improving. For pure creativity it's unmatched tho.. and the viewport is just incredible!
anthony mcgrath It's more funny if you knew Nepalese. It literally means LOVE, or NAME OF A GIRL and both two have songs that is quite similar to how he is saying.
I am 19 yo and just started learning Maya by myself, so I don't have much experience but I learned so much by my mistakes and I can assured you I will continue to do stuff, even if it sucks, I will learn something.
I had this approach with everything I've wanted to learn how to do and hear someone say the same thing as me is so insane but refreshing at the same time, this way of thinking has made me improve a lot just from doing my own personal projects and overcoming problems you'd face while doing them like problem solving and wanted to do something a certain way that you don't know how to do.
This is a fantastic video for someone who is trying to get into VFX and CG. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else. It is really inspiring and helpful. Thank you very much my friend!
Thank you very much. I have been doing lot of R&D on softwares and finally locked on self-learning C4D with the immense training / trainers [like you] online.
I'm so glad that I found this video... today I realised that I want to get into VFX and make it one of my passions, and my aim for next year is to actually start learning and creating things. This video was exactly the kind of motivation I needed. Thank you so much!
I really appreciate with you for 48 hours rendering for butterfly and I am going to take your punchline "…and just create create create motion graphic, animation, vfx jobs never stopping our own things…!" Great!
Im confused , so i need to start learning 3D and from that project i put on After Effect , this is the process of VFX , please answer me im so new to this and i have no idea what im doing :D
Hey I love your work on Instagram. You are awesome. I had one question. I'm more into Maya. But there are many things that Cinema 4D can do. And when I try to use Cinema 4D it's quite hard for me. Are there any tutorials on not user interface but explaining the tools for motion graphics. And as Cinema 4D starter what would you advice me ? (I'm not new to 3d and VFX. I've been using Maya for quite a while)
Hey, Thank you for your kind words ;) It should be a painless switch for you, however, some tools in C4D are named differently, so it might be painless but not flawless. When I switched I tried the same approach I would use in Maya and when I got stuck, I was looking for info if there is a similar feature in C4D that I had in Maya. There are a lot of dudes switching and they're posting in forums, writing articles specifically talking about differences and how to overcome them.
i am into 3ds max and i started using cinema4d recently and so far its great, its basically the same thing, all you need is learn the tools and transfer your knowledge from maya to cinema, and yes there are a lot tutorials on youtube
Andrey Lebrov, everything just said is absolutely correct , inspiring envy new person passion about LEARN CG & VFX to just go and work it out really big respect and love .
I just discover you while wanting to start doing vfx (while i'm still in my second engineer study years) and god you're so inspiring. I'm even more motivated right now.
your brain will start generating correct questions yup, very true, im learning maya as my college told me to, overtime, i am getting better, i will remember this line. thanks
I've seen just two videos, and with this second one i feel like someone was spying my stuff, but damn it is the video that i need, not just for learning but the inspiration to start in it. Thank you.
Great video! Loved how you talked about ‘how to think about vfx’. When I was learning how to mix music, I read a book called Zen and the Art of Mixing, and he said on the first page, “I don’t want to change the way you mix, I want to change the way you think about mixing”. Mind set is huge. Thanks for the info and inspo! 🤜🤛
if you want it to be portable definitely go for the mac book pro If you want a powerful system you can buy some of the pre built PCs. I would recommend a powerful CPU With more cores and clock speeds and stuff as much ram as possible in your pc because Cinema4D, Maya and After Effects are very RAM Hungry Programs
Pre-built systems is a bad idea. They always put together components that doesn’t make sense but price goes up. Firstly, build it yourself or find a friend who can build it. It’s easy. Secondly, choose your render engine first. You would need more powerful GPU if it’s a GPU engine and CPU doesn’t matter as much in that case.
Hello Andrey. I just stumbled on your channel and it is exactly what i need right now. I just started 2D motion graphics and i am really inspired. Thank you so much.
fact : this video inspired me and after 8 months after this video was posted , i got my first job as a 3d modeller ! thank you vm !

Very well said. You definitely can self-teach and learn just about anything on the internet with the right drive and passion. If one's path is via school, so be it. If an alternate path is completely non-traditional, then so be that as well. Let passion be your guiding light.

This video changed my life, THANK YOU!
ok so here is something for andrey i hope he sees this and make his day happy. Before 2 years i remember watching your videos and feeling like a completely noob. 2 years later and now i study interior architecture in greek university. now the thing is eveything here is like 20 years behind and old we dont do any 3d software or rendering modelling skills .... but as you say being in an academic environment does help you with things like generally knowledge about the things you will need like sizes desing theories colors etc. But that doesnt mean you cant study alone i tried starting with maya then switched to cinema 4D and now 3DSmax. :P THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS Andrey they are amazing and inspiring
it turned out to be a career ❤ you man thanks for sharing knowledge since day one
Thank you for the precious tips. It's a way of learning really underestimated, but truly efficient.
Nice Video bro! This wasn't a "How to LEARN CG & VFX" completely but rather a motiviational video for any artist who seriously wants to start making art. SUBSCRIBED!
The answer is Blender
TheButtonMash3r oh yes!!
TheButtonMash3r hell yes
Hell yeah.
Oh yeah
blender boy here
Man, you are the better I find to absorb technology, thanks for all you videos!
in1st 50 $ec i deside to subscrib I like it.. Keep it up God bless you
That's the most discreet, logical & inspiring answer to the question !!
You are so good I can't tell if your studio or room is real or animated.
i have been working on Autodesk MAYA for long and yes it is Not User Friendly but let me tell you something. i learnt it all from youtube tutorials and udemy tutorials of 3D animation and rigging. Honestly i would say go with MAYA it's amazing tool once you get hang of it. i still remember my first project on maya was a simple rectangular box with 4 sphere as tyre. a car moving on the flat road and that was 5 years ago. patience pay off guys.
University does not give u skills only but also 100000 dollars of debt
Depends on where you live, i went to uni here in sweden for vfx, it got me contacts and my job and we have a thing called CSN loan here which is almost interest free. That money is for just surviving, so food rent etc. The uni for us swedes is free so at the end of my education I was Only around 25k usd in debt and pay it back at 200usd every 3 months.
@@SwompyGaming I also live in a country where the government gives you money to pay the university and sustain yourself the condition is that don't fail
andrey is the best motivator and teacher for VFX on youtube
"Maya oh Maya" hahahaha that's so funny!
I'm a long time Maya user been on Maya since version 2. I absolutely love it with vray it's really cool. Modelling is good and it's good at texture setups.. but it's viewport sucks.
Great vids I like how you shared your early work here I just recently uploaded my own early showreel haha
jeffhaf1 yep been tinkering with Houdini for a couple years on and off there's some fun houdini vids on my channel I absolutely love it. I'm in the process of figuring out some muscle sim and cloth stuff to take anims to another level and I plan on doing some more creative work with it I just adore the software. I've found it isn't as nice as Maya to work with animation but it's something that is improving. For pure creativity it's unmatched tho.. and the viewport is just incredible!
Oh we meet againt ant hahahhaha,I hope you remember me 😂
Never used Maya, only reacting just like you to "Maya oh Maya". That was funny. Lol.
anthony mcgrath It's more funny if you knew Nepalese. It literally means LOVE, or NAME OF A GIRL and both two have songs that is quite similar to how he is saying.
anthony mcgrath, you are very beautiful, inspiring and knowledgeable!
I just saw this video now and subscribed... With love from Nigeria
Great message. By the way those two shelves dont seem to be aligned.
They're vfx ;)
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!
u just ruined my whole day
It's just his art style
I am 19 yo and just started learning Maya by myself, so I don't have much experience but I learned so much by my mistakes and I can assured you I will continue to do stuff, even if it sucks, I will learn something.
You deserve more subscriber...
Thank u man. You really explained it in an easy and better way.
Respect from India ♥️ 🇮🇳
thank you very much for this video
Just create create create, never stop!
You definitely just inspired me bro. Keep it going
I had this approach with everything I've wanted to learn how to do and hear someone say the same thing as me is so insane but refreshing at the same time, this way of thinking has made me improve a lot just from doing my own personal projects and overcoming problems you'd face while doing them like problem solving and wanted to do something a certain way that you don't know how to do.
Me:😁
My low budget laptop:🔥
This is a fantastic video for someone who is trying to get into VFX and CG. I haven't found anything like it anywhere else. It is really inspiring and helpful. Thank you very much my friend!
Btw, I learned to code for free on youtube. UA-cam is the best for learn- well not really. You need to search a lot.
Would rather search through a textbook or UA-cam? Obviously UA-cam
Thank you very much. I have been doing lot of R&D on softwares and finally locked on self-learning C4D with the immense training / trainers [like you] online.
Amazing video, I was wondering with what program did you did the butterfly??
Absolutely agree with you. I just remember myself when i wanted to learn website development)
Hi from germany thanks 4 motivation
Ehrenmann
Benutzt du blender?
I'm so glad that I found this video... today I realised that I want to get into VFX and make it one of my passions, and my aim for next year is to actually start learning and creating things. This video was exactly the kind of motivation I needed. Thank you so much!

Maya Heee
Maya hoo
Maya ha
Maya Haha
You’ve inspired me... I’ve subscribed and I’m starting VFX
Just subcribed to ur channel.....pls continue doing more tuts on c4d and fusion
I really appreciate with you for 48 hours rendering for butterfly and I am going to take your punchline "…and just create create create motion graphic, animation, vfx jobs never stopping our own things…!" Great!
Im confused , so i need to start learning 3D and from that project i put on After Effect , this is the process of VFX , please answer me im so new to this and i have no idea what im doing :D
Probably the most clear and helpful video on UA-cam I've ever watched, on any topic. Thank you
Hey I love your work on Instagram. You are awesome. I had one question. I'm more into Maya. But there are many things that Cinema 4D can do. And when I try to use Cinema 4D it's quite hard for me. Are there any tutorials on not user interface but explaining the tools for motion graphics. And as Cinema 4D starter what would you advice me ? (I'm not new to 3d and VFX. I've been using Maya for quite a while)
Hey,
Thank you for your kind words ;)
It should be a painless switch for you, however, some tools in C4D are named differently, so it might be painless but not flawless. When I switched I tried the same approach I would use in Maya and when I got stuck, I was looking for info if there is a similar feature in C4D that I had in Maya. There are a lot of dudes switching and they're posting in forums, writing articles specifically talking about differences and how to overcome them.
i am into 3ds max and i started using cinema4d recently and so far its great, its basically the same thing, all you need is learn the tools and transfer your knowledge from maya to cinema, and yes there are a lot tutorials on youtube
Used blender
This is a universal inspiration video, not just for VFX.. I like how you talk/put your words. Thank you so much ❤️
Please tell difference between VFX Artist and CGI Artist
CGI artists basically mostly focus on 3d modeling and animation, VFX artists focus on stuff like compositing, creating effects etc
@@orange3567 I want you make videos on "Jewellery Rendering" specially it's my request.
super vfx
Andrey Lebrov,
everything just said is absolutely correct , inspiring envy new person passion about LEARN CG & VFX to just go and work it out really big respect and love .
Subbed :)
I just discover you while wanting to start doing vfx (while i'm still in my second engineer study years) and god you're so inspiring. I'm even more motivated right now.
3:33 Blender
J in
your brain will start generating correct questions
yup, very true, im learning maya as my college told me to, overtime, i am getting better, i will remember this line. thanks
man you are good
I've seen just two videos, and with this second one i feel like someone was spying my stuff, but damn it is the video that i need, not just for learning but the inspiration to start in it. Thank you.

@@itsmeguccimario RIP Alexei you never got you Cherry Slurpee
Great video! Loved how you talked about ‘how to think about vfx’. When I was learning how to mix music, I read a book called Zen and the Art of Mixing, and he said on the first page, “I don’t want to change the way you mix, I want to change the way you think about mixing”. Mind set is huge. Thanks for the info and inspo! 🤜🤛
hi andry... please whats the best system to use for CG and VFX?
I have two vids in my equipment playlist. Both are about high end machines but to start in VFX any laptop would do. I started with old 💻 MacBook Pro
short answer? A very powerful one.
if you want it to be portable definitely go for the mac book pro
If you want a powerful system you can buy some of the pre built PCs. I would recommend a powerful CPU With more cores and clock speeds and stuff as much ram as possible in your pc because Cinema4D, Maya and After Effects are very RAM Hungry Programs
Pre-built systems is a bad idea. They always put together components that doesn’t make sense but price goes up. Firstly, build it yourself or find a friend who can build it. It’s easy. Secondly, choose your render engine first. You would need more powerful GPU if it’s a GPU engine and CPU doesn’t matter as much in that case.
Hello Andrey. I just stumbled on your channel and it is exactly what i need right now. I just started 2D motion graphics and i am really inspired. Thank you so much.
