Bottom line: Blender has all the tools, that are necessary for VFX and much more. Though they are nowhere as sophisticated and perfect as those provided by dedicated pieces of software and plugins for them. But come on, three years back nobody even considered Blender as a replacement for the traditional apps - now it is one of the players on the CG market. If that came to pass within a couple of years, just imagine how good its VFX tools will become in 2020-2021!!
Sergei Kritzien the Vfx tools in blender are still way behind and they haven’t given it as much attention as they should have.
Animation 2020!!!!!!
Blender is just slowly improving and has a long long way to go (use to be long long long) but many other softwares have gone with years with only marginal improvements. The bar is not moving anymore. Well at least not near as fast as it use to.
scurvofpcp I think that’s a pitfall to just pump out new features that you necessarily don’t need vs improving tools that have proven to be effective. There is no need to innovate every release. Then you just have new features that are subpar
@@educate3d To an extent, it depends on how full featured your application already is. Which most of the paid ones have slowed down. Now ideally they would be spending some more $$$ on bugfixes but yeah.
Still, blender right now is in a situation where it is well positioned to catch up over the next few years. Honestly, and this is just my perspective. I would like to see it get a little love for texturing workflows, a pass on the 2d editors and then hit up the video editing and vfx workflows hard.
This is a amazing video. Great job at the closing statements

Not true, it's a combination of skill and the tools used.

Dang! I tried to learn blender eight years ago and got as far as fluid simulation and knocking walls made out of bricks over with the physics simulation. There is so much more that you can do now! What a great time to be alive
i like blender because of the interface its much better then other software interfaces

Am loving this... Blender is great to start with when leaning Animation.
we need (is blender good for motion graphic)
thanks for the vid very helpful
VFX Studios mostly create many own Tools that work on top of Maya, Houdini etc.
It means big overhead costs but in this way the studios were able to be ahead of other studios.
Times have changed and now the competitors have the same VFX specialities. It could improve a lot if new VFX studios will work with Blender and develop their tools on that so everyone can benefit.
Very well said
Good job bro👏😜👍
when u watch this video with the jellyfish jam in the backround its even cooler :D
Thank you
Blender could be the best software in industry with all these add-ons, plugins, external render engines, and particle systems that Maya and 3ds max use. But this update 2.8 of blender gives us hope that in future maybe blender could surpass them without any plugins or addons :)
Blender sin duda alguna es un buen programa, pero Maya y Houdini siguen siendo los líderes del VFX en la industria y usados para películas Grandes
As he said "Money doesn't interest me - Ton Roosendaal" 🙌🙌🙌🇵🇭
perfect
Blender is great for building environments no matter how large due to high quality path tracing and pbr materials, but falls apart when particles, cloth, and other simulations are needed due to lack of plug in support.
Holy man dude its soooo easy things go automaticly , this godlike software is cool like , idk this is unexplainable by words lol .
And 2 years later it hasn't changed xd
Great video thankyou...………… for freelancers Blender is indeed perfect!
Maybe all the things in blender aren't as good as other programs but ALL those things are in ONE programm. I think that is really cool
If I may request could you do one about Cinema 4d? Thanks.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Yooo this is too much power given to one person
Its not ready yet for complex FX !!! May be in a year or two!!
I think it may take about 5 or more years to get that good, but it is definitely improving.
Thanks guys, at least some sensible people around here Blender users should be like you and i mean that in a good way, i don't hate Blender but i don't like some of it's users who think it's goingto replace all other Softwares which is illogical and won't happpen like ever..It can become better and used more in the Industry but don't forget that all those Softwares are well integerated and matured in production so Studios have to rely on them for many many years to come, when Blender becomes capable enough especially for heavy VFX work where we can see high end Character Animation,realistic digi double, complex scenes/ environments then we can say Blender is ready to be used in some Studios.
@@z_tiger311 For freelancers and people starting out in VFX, Blender is perfect and can do pretty much anything the leading industry-standard programs can do (with varying degrees of success, of course.) Pretty much the only things about it that are sub-par are its unbiased rendering engine and particle systems, but since it's open source, it can be tweaked and have add-ons to do basically anything any other piece of software can do. It'll be a while before it's fully integrated into higher end production pipelines, but it's already being looked into. Eevee is incredible for previsualization, the compositor is relatively powerful, and its modeling workflow is incredibly streamlined - I actually switched from a Maya/Substance workflow to exclusively Blender for renders (obviously i still use substance for game objects considering blender's texture creation tools aren't great, but i use procedural materials for rendering) so it's definitely gotten to the point where it outpaces some industry-standard programs
@@z_tiger311 they are noobs with zero blender skills instead of focusing on developing their skills in blender they go videos to videos to bash maya or other softwares. i use 3dsmax and blender and i say blender needs more time.
Blender is ready. Why you talk like that ? Because it's better then Maya and 3D Studio Max ? Because, many pro artist moved from Maya and 3DS Max to Blender, and big studios like UbiSoft from Maya to Blender, Tanget Animation from Maya to Blender, soon Khara Studio from 3DS Max to Blender and soon will be more ? Why you not admit that Blender is shoulder by shoulder with Maya and 3DS Max, and can do much more. You could always buy 3DS Max or Maya if you are crazy..
When you were talking about water, were the last videos made in blender? Because that eater looked really clean to me
Oh, yes it does. Hollywood studios could be using it for most of everything, cept the very special things where they need to make their own engines for something that's never been done, and then also sculpting perhaps.
Plz make a video on how to learn VFX and where to start from plz....will be really thankful
I dont care if its the best or not i just love it
cow #047 me to
You are best
I think I liked that soft body simulation best 😏
Short answer: if you are anything but a full-blown hollywood studio, Blender is great. If you are a Hobbyist / small company, Blender is the best

its free.its all bout artist can he use it. if fire/smoke would be default real looking then blender would rock, but allways ned tweek from cratch

When you do everything u can't be specialist in one thing i am 3D Rigging artist worked with MPC and DNEG and worked lot of awesome popular Hollywood movies like LION KING, SONIC, PIKACHU THE DITECTIVE, AQUAMAN, SAZAM, X-MEN, VENOM 2 AND lot..and most of big company use maya for 3D development and nuke for comp and some specific software's for specific job but as free blender is really one of the best software.
me seeing the title : Is that even a question?
Can someone tell me where can i download Blender?
Were all of the movie shots you showed done in Blender?

Blender - isnt just program, it also Huuuge community of kind people, u can find decision of any task.
I feel that this kind of videos are just trying to underestimate blender

Very very cool, thanks! Blender for a freelancer is perfect
I think not using all that features in blender , some one should compare only the modelling section of blender with max or Maya
Can you do that ?!
I mean modeling is modeling. Your just laying down vertices, lines, and faces. Blender does it very well and the only major difference is interface and possibly speed of production. Maya and 3ds max I believe have some slightly better tools included, but really there isn't much to compare if we're just looking at modeling.
Yeah !!! You are absolutely right ! But I think we can not compare the whole software like that because every software has its own recognisation in one thing !!!
Like Maya for animation ...
Max for arch viz ...
Like that if we are comparing two softwares then we are actually comparing it with one or another aspect !!!
So if we compare blender's dynamics with the beast Houdini or Texturing with substance painter or compositing with nuke then it will be a very stubidity , because these are extra that blender is giving this things in a 3d package ... We don't expect that much things from a core 3D software !!!
So if we compare like that then all that time we are comparing its every espect with the best software in the industry !!!
Even max is not close to Maya in animation tools .
So the main important things for a 3d artist like modelling , uv unrapping or lighting should be compared with max or Maya ...
I think he did an okay job comparing its capabilities. If your software is going to have certain features, (let's say sculpting) and the only other comparable thing out there is essentially Zbrush, it only makes to put them up against each other.
If you want there are other people who out there who have compared blender to the other kings of 3d software. I would recommend the FlippedNormals channel. They go into great detail about the differences through their experience in the industry.
@@nickstair6355 yeah obviously he did and he does very good jobs really informative videos !!!
And yeah I also checked flipped normals video before this video !!!
Thanks !!!
Happy New Year and Decade 😁😁😁
@@swapnanilnag3713 Happy New everything to you too! :)
Everything is fine! ... but texturing, also with procedural materials, is not convenient for me (I spend a lot of time) Would remake it as in SP (and Roosendaal already spoke about SP) would be "The best all in one."
Apart from auras, yes

Rendering is one of the strong parts of Blender for vfx right now. It has all the functionalities of a industry standard renderer and also Cycles can be very fast when used with a RTX Card.
No deep exr output.
@Solid Snake Well...there's plenty of awesome renderers available for Blender (including Radeon ProRender and even a plugin for Arnold).
Talking about using nuke, shows a pc using after effects 7:55😆
Would you use Blender in tandem with Nuke?
❄️❄️❄️🙌🙌🙌🙌❄️❄️❄️🤸
Blender, houdini or cinema 4d? For modellling and motions graphics future considering 5 years from now?
No doubt C4D is best 4 motion graphics
Yepp. C4D has the best tools for mograph.
i would say learn C4D but keep an eye on blender and try to learn it in your free time.
Blender for modelling, unwrapping, animating!
Houdini for simulations, modelling!
C4D for motion graphics and for newbies cuz it's very easy to learn!
Agreed with everyone else. C4D is fantastic.
Hey I respect the video but I want a yes or no and a short reason why or why not. Can anyone give me that. Thank you
Shit, i thought that i saw a half part of video, but i saw 2 min
I don't care wether people want to say blender is bad or good i am going to master it and show people it's all about skills. Plus blender is developing perfectly.
That's the spirit!
It isn't used professionally, simply because vfx pipelines are already centered around other programs, but it's still a very powerful tool. It's capable of doing so much, from animating, vfx, compositing, simulations, etc.
What blender lacks is support that is what big industry need for big project if they get support then I don't find any reason why they won't use blender
1:39 what movie is this?
If you combine many special softwares like zbrush, boujou and others they will be waay better but extremely expensive and yes Blender is free so there's that...
Playback 0.25, Volume Max, scare household.
lol
Do you know they will stay free?
Like 5-10 years from now?
no one knows the future ;)
The man behind the blend its self state " Blender must be kept free forever" check out his interview
Can I make wearing a nanotech suit in a blender like iron man
So what are industry level programm? (Sry for my spelling)
Maya,Zbrush,Max,Houdini,Mari...etc it all depends on what discipline you want to be in, Character Artist,TD, Animator,VFX Artist..etc
@@z_tiger311 Thank youu
I’ve been using blender for a looong time, it still would not be my first choice for vfx
@Erik The Existor I cans only afford free too
What is your first choice and why?
me with the cube :how do i move it again
everyone else:
me 3 weeks later; so its "G" right
Blender is the future
It's interesting how terms like "professional", "industry standard", etc. are used to paper over habit while not revealing real reasons why a particular software may be preferred.
Well if you are in the 3d industry you should know why blender(for the time being) will never be used primarily by studios because of the following reasons:
- Blender does not offer anything feature-wise over the current industry standard
- Training their studio artists to use blender Is relatively expensive as well as potentially decreasing productivity for a short period of time.(Paying Wages to artists who are learning software and not producing content at their usual rate is a very dumb business move)
- Studios generally have pretty strict pipelines that involve software that has had inhouse plugins and tools already developed for them.(Paying Software Engineers money to develop tools for blender that are already available for 3ds max or Maya is once again a dumb business move)
There are a multitude of other reasons as to why blender may never in the near future be the industry standard. However, this doesn't mean there aren't artists out there at studios that don't use blender for aspects of their workflows, however, when we talk about the industry standard, we are referring to the most widely used software. Houdini is probably the industry standard for vfx, simulations and algorithmic/procedural modeling, Houdin is not about making models, its about building tools to help you make models. Blender hopefully will be on par with houdini soon however when blender releases its 'everything nodes' update, that's when I think blender will really start making waves.
Studios can have their software specific pipeline and they don't care about your preferences. That is meaning of "industry standarts".
@@ysomadbeats Well put.
1:41 which movie is this
0:40 can anyone tell me where can i find that tutorial please
The name at the bottom to left

I am a painter, designer and a sculptor. Can I learn it better than the normal people?
For that i have my own company .
Not need work for Someone else. .
That's the true éxito
Wenn i went to School they told us Maya was the Industrie Standart. Caus Disney Pixar was useing it.
On the Job Market everyone was useing 3dMax and ZBrush was up and comeing.
Studios dont got time to teach you or are willing to pay for your teaching.
They just want cheap Labor with as little contractual obligation for them.
Considering the support and industrial interest (mainly gaming industry) blender gets, it won’t take long to catch up
0:38 What is that node workspace??
What about using after effects for vfx? Other than blender being free what can be the difference between blender vfx and after effects vfx
Blender use node base, and after effect use layer base
I don't think that blender is at the level of After Effects, so I go with AE
I've used blender over AE in the past because it was so much faster (with the exception of the render). The only thing that would sometimes give AE a leg up were the plugins. I couldn't think of anything that AE could do that blender couldn't.
Some things I had to fake in AE, I could just do in blender because it is actually a 3D package. Without blenders text addons, AE would be definitively be better with text and motion graphics.
I was taught AE at a university known for vfx. I was self taught blender.
id say use both, AE for tracking, then create the scene in Blender and match it to the footage in AE
houdini fx is the best software to create VFX
It's true. Sadly major studios don't use blender so if u actually want make money u need to learn other softwares.
Lol I don't think .. so you have gone through Bifrost of MAYA
cough cough blackmagic Davinci Resolve for video efx and editing. enough said :)
Is blender free
I can still make a donut
Every one should donate some into blender to make everything possible with blender for everyone free and avoid to use paid pirated software
Blender is a professional powerhouse for free
that fact that Blender can do all stages of the production puts other 3D PAID software to shame, remember how Autodesk never brought back Maya Live but offers corny basic tools like Matchmove and Composite, which all use to be Maya Live and Autodesk Toxik, or how 3DS Max use to have Combustion for post production... those tools don't exist no more
its free?
