I don't know anything about these softwares, I'm a true newbie to this world...Your video is so useful! I like how you talk clearly and straight to the point. It makes things easier to choose the software I want to begin with🙏🙏 Thank you
We used Maya (educational license) for 3D renders, After Effects for compositing and VFX, and Premiere for editing the space film “Flight to the Universe”. After the films are done, we’re switching over to Blender for our videos because the program has all the video pipeline in 1, and it’s free to use!
As much as I love these info videos, I would love to learn these stuff as well. Can you please please make tutorials of how you would go about creating a scene involving vfx. From starting to end. Maybe start a series where you create different scenes. This would help us so much. Thanks for all the info tho. You're the best vfx channel I've come across.
Ты невероятно мотивируешь развиваться дальше. Твои успехи и стремление побуждает других расти, и не лениться/бояться новых шагов. Ты реально удивительный человек, отличающийся невероятным стремлением к мечте, и терпением. Идеально все разжевываешь, даже на иностранном языке. Я уверен что многие люди считают тебя великим, как и я. Поэтому я желаю тебе ещё больше терпения и удачи. Спасибо за мотивацию, Андрей.
I really have to mention something... People watching your videos should really appreciate the amount of knowledge you are presenting. I can say that by my self because I am a student at SAE Institute studying Game Art and 3D Animation paying a lot of money for my education and basically everything you say sounds familiar and is true... The only difference in between my university and this youtube channel is that it is free... So guys listen carefully and take note of every single word spoken ;)
i love your content , i really do , and you're very different than the other youtubers that just make content for personal benefits , you do the job for those who are up to the work and you're helping them a lot , thanks again.
Best VFX channel, you really help out newbees. These informations are so fundamental, and no one ever said before. After I watched many of your videos I learned a lot of non technical things, that was needed to get a grip for a good start! Thanks man , keep up with the great works!
One thing that should be mentioned about Blender is the huge update coming this fall. It will introduce realtime rendering and the posibility to control anything with nodes. And thats just a fraction of whats new
I tried blender since a lot of my friends use it and they talk wonders of it , coming from maya and cinema 4d i felt so useless since i couldn´t really understand the interface and it felt clunky , might have to read more on it since free is always a good thing
Marco Cersosimo Well I only spent a day to familiarise myself with blender Don’t need to learn all of it but learn it day by day First day would be learning the interface
CC C look forblender evee. Itslike a game engine and super fast with rendering. So you can move xour camera in 3d space and get a rendered image based on your display refresh rate and of course the power of your gpu
sir I'm from India and I'm an Indian citizen but honestly speaking I' m an Vfx student and I just watch your this video I genuinely I respect your opinion you are so great advisor & to b honest I just following your suggestion that you suggest in this lecture for production based 3 D and compositing software for visuals fx
Andrey, Andrey, Andrey! Brilliant as usual. I presented a very similar description of these tools years ago to the students I used to teach in a game development course (of course now there are far more options to us artists), and it's awesome that now I can just point anyone with the same questions to this video! Your well rounded, and non-biased explanation reveals how you care about your viewers making sound and educated decisions themselves, for their own path, and not simply based on someone else's opinions or emotions.
I started with C4D at home.. Started studying 3D,VDX at institute. There they started with 3ds Max. Being a C4D user.. I hated that software for 3 months.. Slowly I became used to it.. Then came Maya... (2 months ago I guess..) Currently I don't like that because I got used to the precision I get in 3ds Max.. I'll soon translate everything I know for different big software so I won't have to worry about tools and focus on creating.
Once i found you, you become my best love channel in 3d and Vfx. Despite i am a still a newbie in that but i truly love and appreciate what you do. Thanks
As a 3D character artist (for games mostly) my pipeline is the following: 1. Sculpt the high poly in Zbrush. 2. If my character wear any kind of textiles, I make the base on Marvelous Designer then add fine details on Zbrush. 3. Retopologize on 3D Coat or Maya, If I have some hard surface parts to make I choose Maya because I make those hard surface parts there as well, and retopologize them right after. 4. UV unwrap/ mapping on Maya. 5. Texture my character on Substance Painter. 6. Render it on Marmoset Toolbag and either Unity or Unreal Engine. (I used 3Ds Max instead of Maya some time ago because its beginner friendly so it was the first 3D modeling software I Iearnt, but since I then chose to go into character design specifically, Maya is better for my needs.)
Great video! I agree to some extent with your opinion on Houdini. However I think that it is an amazing modeling tool, but not for "hero models". Because of its highly procedural nature, Houdini is amazing at making models that you can customize and change, potentially making thousands of iterations of. Let us say that you are making a bookshelf. Then the client tells you he wants it taller and with thinner books in. In a traditional 3D application that may result in you having to do a lot of work. If you have modeled smart in Houdini however, there may be as little as changing the value of 2 - 3 sliders.
i wanted to be a VFX artist from my childhood. i got started with 3D by Cinema 4D, it is such an awesome and easy to learn 3D software. It introduced me to the 3D world. Recently i started learning Houdini and it was really hard at first but it is just another level from C4D. I would recommend an aspiring VFX artist to learn Houdini.
I really appreciate your videos man... makes things simple. I don't really want to pursue vfx as a career but I still find myself watching all your videos
Your channel is really helpful! I think your honesty is what attracts everyone here sharing all your experiences and always considering the view of beginners.
i live in IRAN and in IRAN there is no guy to care about VFX and what we could made with it, I love to create VFX videos from when i was 15 and watching Marvels movies , so i cant find the way to how become an Artist for VFX and just trying to create some videos for games named Dota2 just with Premiere and some so bad 2D animations with after effects and i didn't know how i should become an artist to create VFX. you show me the way. I promise you i will NEVER , EVER Stop learning and Creating and when i became a perfect artist, (who work for most best studios,) i tell every one you are that guy helped me to become a perfect artist when they asked me who is the guy helped you to become this? thank you so much♥♥♥
Все по полочкам разложил, тонны любви тебе! Блендер прекрасен. В какой-то мере (и очень даже неплохой) может вообще все и бесплатен. Жаль только ни в одну более-менее "серьезную" контору с ним не пойдешь работать, не стандарт.
100% agree with your call to action - figure out who we are and what we want to do in the industry. I appreciate your talent but I don't plan to learn it. I continue to watch your videos because I hope that one day I have the budget to communicate with talent like you on projects like yours. However, I did not know you primarily use premiere pro for video editing and I would deeply appreciate videos or live broadcasts where we can see how you use premiere pro. I started learning PP after the make the cut competition a while back. Everything I did in my vid I taught myself in 20 days via youtube tutorials. It would be great to see someone like you dive deeper into PP capabilities. I don't know how to get this video out of you but even if you popped up a live feed next time you are on a project, that would be awesome. Thanks Andrey and cheers brother.
GENIUS MAN!! thank you so much. You have a lot of knowledge, but the most important thing is that you know how to explain it to your people. From Argentina, Good Job!! New suscriber!
Nuke is perfect if you work with some other people on the same project.. cause how the node tree is constructed, everyone can see, what you did there, and without any effort tweek it. you can also make some windows around the nodes and label them for more information. but if you work alone on way smaller projects without so many levels, AE is the easiest way :) Ps is a must.. everyone should know basics of blending layers .. so if you go into 3D and compositing, you know how some things work. besides.. you have to understand light, because lighting and texturing go hand in hand.. so some basics in photography could do the job :) Love your work, and i don't find the time to go back to 3d and vfx.. i am still inspired. thx dude! Keep up!
Hey Andrey I Never Watch A Video Like This Before You explained it very nicely and Sorted out everything .I am VFX Student from India I was really Confused about What is the Use of Softwares Individually. Please keep Making Videos Like This Lots Of Love😊😊😊
Starting a platform to teach and empower the under privileged population and loving your vid. You give me a starting point for my learning. Thank you 🙏
That was the best video of software choosing that i've ever seen. I was looking for that info for a long. Thanks to that i discovered you channel. For my is the best channel of VFX thant i could find. Now im learning C4D. thanks to you Andrey.
The most interesting majors for me are game art and hardsurface modelling. About 2 months ago I was using 3DS Max primarily as my modeling software. I had to start using Maya because university and my internship required it and first I was confused that certain things were so overly complicated to achieve. For example, the poly mirror tool always needs to be adjusted and take some time to fit (adjusting the merge threshold and set up other options like object orientation). This kind of things add up over time and you always looking for ways to speed up your workflow. Also the lack of a stack modifier for organizing operations is quite annoying. However, Maya really excels when it comes to customizing your UI and setting up Hotkeys, which in comparison is a total nightmare in 3DS Max. Also PlugIns and Scripts are a fine addition to the software and because of that I added Maya to my arsenal.
This channel is amazing, man. I forgot how i got to see your video for the first time but im happy that i did and now im a fan. Keep this amazing work going.
Самый полезный и сложный канал на ютубе для меня. Всякие Маккиноны, это как школа 11 класс, а вот тут, сложнее чем в универе на первом курсе, когда сидишь и ничего не понимаешь, но так интересно, что смотришь каждое видео. Спасибо за очередной ништяк!
Andrey Lebrov. Thank you very much. I like what you are doing. You also showed me that blackmagic softwares. Before Im was afraid that node system is confusing but now after your video and other tutorials, I can see it is the best option for me. In comparison with its After effects, its look very powerful. When I tried to do some project in After Effect, it was a very depressive route and I was bored how complicated and confusing. Also, the price is very good for me. I hate the subscription system.
I'm a 3D Artist for an American Fortune 500 company. We use Cinema 4D (plus the Octane render engine) to model and render our products because it's easy and fast. But you're right, Cinema 4D isn't cheap. However, it is economically viable because our team of 4 CGI artists (plus 5 others who are working in a web-based 3D render engine) create roughly 50 images a day, 260 working days a year on average. Utilizing CGI in favor of studio photo shoots has saved - on average - about $2.8 Million per year in studio (and location) photography costs prior to the day when the company did not have a CGI team.
Awesome video andrey❤❤❤......My journey started with Ps...i will prefer everyone to start with Ps..coz its base for beginners...everyone start with photoshop.....
Really appreciate your videos! Thanks for sharing this information I think I'm going to learn Houdini, and nuke to become better at VFX! It'd be awesome if you could do houdini tutorials! Keep these great videos coming!
Hey dude, just found your channel. You are great at what you do and you genuinely sound like a great person. Congrats on your work and thank you for your videos. Truly a great channel and personality. Keep up the good work brother.
Im working with: Maya, Zbrush, Vray, Substance Products, Nuke and the Adobe Produkts. And i have to say that its an absolute dream Pipeline. They fit like gears ! :D nice content, keep it up! :)
For those of you interested in Davinci programs, Resolve and Fusion just recently merged together into Davinci Resolve 15. This is a massive leap for the company since you can now color grade, composite, and so much more, all in one package. And yes, it's still free, and $300 for the upgraded license like mentioned in the video.
I feel like this video was the video i was desperately waiting for since i started to deal with CGI. Can't say anything else but thank you very much for this!
Thank you so much for your great explanation for this softwares ,i was searching that for long time ,well explained with all the information,thank you so much
Houdini is actually a great tool for modeling thins that needs to be simulated. It allows for precision and control over all the brick gaps in a building; when it comes to simulation it provides unparallel flexibility. It also gives you an option of Houdini Indie for only $269 per year which give all the function of the $7000 Houdini FX (render up to 4K)!
Great vid... very comprehensive and can't think of any programs that you missed (in the cg/vfx space). On another note... I just decided to finally have a look at Houdini and Cinema4D (was installing Houdini whilst watching this) Got to say that the experience of getting the software on my computer to try out the software... and tackle the "learning wall" was beautiful and so easy... BUT Cinema4D... omg... no subscription... no apprentice/free learning option... no indie licensing option... and only available through resellers!!! felt like I was back a decade ago... god even Adobe and Autodesk have moved on... from what I hear it is a great software but that brickwall licensing approach :(
Love this video. Very informational and detailed. A must watch for anyone interested to start playing with CGI and VFX. I just wish I found this video sooner.
Wow man, nice job on that list... dead on about all of the apps. (I’m a big fan of Fusion too, btw). I’m sure there’s some people who’ll get all worked up about supporting Maya or Max as industry standard, but you’re right - they are and they have been for 20 years (Max even longer). Anyway, great breakdown.
Problem for some of us is we don't know where to start cuz there's normally so much to choose from. I personally got to loving cinematography because of your contents. Your ability to tell stories with such intense emotions and delicate intuition make your work so alive and it tells how much attention you pay details. I actually fell in love with cinematography and 3D rendering as a result and considering a career in it in addition to my current job but I don't know where to start. As my inspiration, where would you prescribe I start from?
Hi Andrey, loved your videos especially the use of CGI ( background) with VFX ( you,chroma). You use those techniques that you talk about in your videos. Just one suggestion, try to color grade your videos for that seamless blending of FG and bg together as I can see hard edges on you ( chroma keying).

Awesome video andrey❤❤❤......My journey started with Ps...i will prefer everyone to start with Ps..coz its base for beginners...everyone start with photoshop.....
As someone just getting into 3D this was SUPER helpful and informative. Thank you!
Man! That Intro is amazing i love the connected music and camera movements as well as the nice sound of the owl in the end
Really appreciate your videos! Thanks for sharing this information I think I'm going to learn Houdini, and nuke to become better at VFX! It'd be awesome if you could do houdini tutorials! Keep these great videos coming!

For those of you interested in Davinci programs, Resolve and Fusion just recently merged together into Davinci Resolve 15. This is a massive leap for the company since you can now color grade, composite, and so much more, all in one package. And yes, it's still free, and $300 for the upgraded license like mentioned in the video.
im not used to leave comments but this video was AMAZING
I feel like this video was the video i was desperately waiting for since i started to deal with CGI. Can't say anything else but thank you very much for this!
Really great video, I don't actually know where I want to go in the industry, but I'll look for learn both standards and ""freelancers" approach
Yaaaay! Resolve 15 is my choice! So glad you like Fusion and make tutorials for it. 🙌🏻
Wow this video has provide and answer all the questions i had... so much. quality.. content. Thank you and i Subscribed.
Thank you so much for your great explanation for this softwares ,i was searching that for long time ,well explained with all the information,thank you so much
Thank You Andrey..............Always a big fan. I have learned a lot from you.
I don't do anything related to vizfx but I find quite interesting your videos and solve some questions I was curious about. Nice videos!
Houdini is actually a great tool for modeling thins that needs to be simulated. It allows for precision and control over all the brick gaps in a building; when it comes to simulation it provides unparallel flexibility. It also gives you an option of Houdini Indie for only $269 per year which give all the function of the $7000 Houdini FX (render up to 4K)!
Great vid... very comprehensive and can't think of any programs that you missed (in the cg/vfx space). On another note... I just decided to finally have a look at Houdini and Cinema4D (was installing Houdini whilst watching this) Got to say that the experience of getting the software on my computer to try out the software... and tackle the "learning wall" was beautiful and so easy...
BUT Cinema4D... omg... no subscription... no apprentice/free learning option... no indie licensing option... and only available through resellers!!! felt like I was back a decade ago... god even Adobe and Autodesk have moved on... from what I hear it is a great software but that brickwall licensing approach :(
Love this video. Very informational and detailed. A must watch for anyone interested to start playing with CGI and VFX. I just wish I found this video sooner.
ZBrush is the software with the interface from another world. lol, that's spot on statement, great video
I like how those fireflies don't jump on jump-cuts :) Great video btw! Love your channel very much!
Excellent video! Honestly one of the best channels on youtube for VFX. If only you would have more time to upload more often!
You're a true inspiration brother. Love from India ❤️
Andrey: "ZBrush is a software with an interface from another planet"
2 Chainz: "Truuuuuuuuuu"
Wow man, nice job on that list... dead on about all of the apps. (I’m a big fan of Fusion too, btw). I’m sure there’s some people who’ll get all worked up about supporting Maya or Max as industry standard, but you’re right - they are and they have been for 20 years (Max even longer). Anyway, great breakdown.
Problem for some of us is we don't know where to start cuz there's normally so much to choose from. I personally got to loving cinematography because of your contents. Your ability to tell stories with such intense emotions and delicate intuition make your work so alive and it tells how much attention you pay details. I actually fell in love with cinematography and 3D rendering as a result and considering a career in it in addition to my current job but I don't know where to start. As my inspiration, where would you prescribe I start from?
my two favorite vfx channel... : video copilot and Andrey Lebrov
Been looking for a video like this for a min. Someone to talk about different programs that are good to use for different resons of use.... Thanks
Awesome Video man. I'm currently focusing in compositing and am trying to learn as much as I can. Thanks for the informational video!
Dude you are doing a magnificent job! Keep going bro. Love from Turkey.
Love this really insightful for a beginner. By the way, where can I get a firefly lamp like yours!?
Maya and Zbrush is what I used for years. Maya can do everything and works so well with any other software and game engines.
Hi Andrey, loved your videos especially the use of CGI ( background) with VFX ( you,chroma). You use those techniques that you talk about in your videos. Just one suggestion, try to color grade your videos for that seamless blending of FG and bg together as I can see hard edges on you ( chroma keying).
Seriously? 😂
