[@pjthehomelessmage]

The ancient period stuff in the showcase looked absolutely fantastic. Are you sticking with Ancient Greece for future projects or is there any other era you’re hoping to tackle?

[@MartinKlekner]

Thank you!! Sticking to ancient Greece for sure :-)

[@Jesus_Christ_]

кайф!
бро, сделай туториал, как ты создаёшь такой синематик!

[@ChilligerHund]

Amazing work!
Which resolution did you render the scene and then how did you scale it in the breakdown shot?

[@fawkes4494]

sheesh!

[@4fun911]

Amazing!
P.S. How often do you think about the Roman Empire? xD

[@MartinKlekner]

😂
Not that often actually, Persian empire more likely 😊

[@lovefrommana]

Is the shot at 0:26 upcoming? It's absolutely gorgeous!

[@MartinKlekner]

Thank you! The connected tutorial is here ua-cam.com/video/6oNCCWslveM/v-deo.htmlsi=YrUVK499qulLLKOX but I wont go into step-by-step on how I made the enviro, but its essentially the same scene as here: ua-cam.com/video/gtBDzAkjoQQ/v-deo.html

[@PanRachek]

Great work! I've been following your work for a long time. Please tell me, is there an optimal option for animate hair in a Blender? I looked through a bunch of tutorials on Google and didn’t find anything.

[@MartinKlekner]

Hi, thank you so much! The particle simulation of hair in Blender is still pretty wonky, but I patiently await the geometry node hair simulation that will come to Blender soon in its more finalized form!

[@PanRachek]

@@MartinKlekner Thanks for the answer. Yes, I'm also looking forward to the release of the new hair system simulation.

[@mohamedlabeeb7162]

They should hire you for Sid Meier's Civilization cinematics

[@madlookzvfx]

Whats your go to compositing software and Why don't Nuke?

[@MartinKlekner]

After Effects, I learned all the workflows I needed years ago and never needed to change 😊 My workflow martinklekner.gumroad.com/l/hobcompositing

[@user-nu6ih7nm8u]

Is this animation made with Blender?

[@MartinKlekner]

Yeah, mostly :) I also use iClone for animating characters, but then export to Blender

[@aliqaheri2459]

Oh, come on man. Don't show us Persians as the baddies😔😁
Jokes aside, your work is phenomenal👏 Hats off to you sir👌

[@MartinKlekner]

Thank you so much 😀
Haha, I can’t stand when someone makes that comment without even watching the film 😅

[@aliqaheri2459]

@@MartinKlekner
Well, you see, there isn't usually a fair and accurate representation of our history in the media (you must have heard of the movie 300). That made me jump to conclusion here. Sorry, my bad.

[@MartinKlekner]

@@aliqaheri2459 Oh no worries, I know how badly Persians are treated in popular media, Ill try to change it ;)

[@aliqaheri2459]

@@MartinKlekner
Thanks a million. Really appreciate it😊🙏

[@dayarih1217]

i apologise for breathing the same air as you

[@binyaminbass]

Do you ever want to join a team of equally skilled artists so you can just do more?

[@MartinKlekner]

Yeah, that's definitely the way forward for me :-)

[@gregorymoore6794]

Though you are already a great inspiration at CGBoost and among the Blender community. Be careful what you wish for or you could end up a cog in the wheel at some big production house. What you are doing already now is so much greater!@@MartinKlekner
