How I Made This Construction Timelapse in Blender

An animation done for Huntsman Cancer Institute and Alvey Media Group that shows the construction of the Hospital Campus.
Definitely not perfect but a very fun and challenging project. Encompassing the modeling of the campus buildings using only visual reference. Then taking GIS terrain data and editing it inside of Gaea, before setting up the final animation inside of Blender.

Im really shocked by the music volume. It was totally fine in premiere. My apologies if it's sometimes hard to follow my commentary due to the volume.

[@milos_slav_sky]

Music is good anyway, don’t worry

[@enhancedsight]

Very cool! Thank you for showing us how you did it, also the preparation process, with the references 👍🏻

[@Atimo133]

Garagefarm are truly MVP when its comes to customer support

[@efesrcmn]

My only problem is that it looks like the building was built in a few hours (no night sky and the clouds are too slow) despite this everything else is amazing !

[@Maarten-Nauta]

yep, we considered it but we were worried the flashing of day to night time might've been distracting for such a short timelapse. We opted for a more artistic depiction of the building appearing. Not a 100% realistic for sure!

[@SviatoslavPetrov]

EPIC!

[@davidgeuens5236]

Thanks for making this breakdown, its very informatively entertaining!

[@mfastuff]

Thank you very much for this video. An inspiring work indeed!

[@masterod1]

Thank you for posting the finial work so we can see what the completed project is.

[@Avalonanon]

you are brilliant my dude

[@ronhq]

AMAZING!

[@stuff_stream]

Great job! at 16:31, you could select the whole road vertex group, create a new shape key, S Z 0 it (or loosely flatten it as per your liking), then G Z bring it back up/down a bit (could be mid value of your S Z), and then use the shape key to average it with the rest of the terrain. Loved the breakdown!

[@Maarten-Nauta]

Thanks for the tip!

[@papalegba4449]

Good job, nicely done 👍

[@bellousow2607]

Fantastic

Bravo

[@SanOcelotl]

This will help me of refference in solving terrain stuff, its really the hard part for me, im actually building a tool in geometry nodes to make that kind of roads in a non destructive way, its comming together nicely but im not a GN god so its not perffect lol

[@fullyleaded]

wow

[@grobknoblin5402]

This is an amazing explanation! Thank you so much! You are incredible! Can’t wait to watch all your other vids! UA-cam sucks for demonetising your vid for having a drink on screen lmao what jokers

[@rajendrameena150]

At 20:00, you can first select all and then goto select and choose select boundary loop. Search the funtif not find.

[@jinx-xinj]

can u make a video on how to use geoscatter looks confusing

[@Carlosnl16]

I think i need just a video on optimization, cause i can't even render just a mountain, it takes forever

I see Windows, I leave.

[@azawestie123]

Do a bunker instead then, or a tent. A ton of options that don’t involve a building with windows.
