Dude, that looks amazing/mindblowing/excellent/awesome/woderful - and many many other synonyms! I couldn't even imagine how much experience man should have to literally repeat the entire production pipeline used in big studios with many different kinds of professionals. And not only repeat but do it successfully and get awesome result at the end. I can definitely tell you - "My dream is to be able to do the same stuff".
Thank you so much I really appreciate it! Most of the techniques used are from youtube tutorials so it's really the Blender community I have to thank for sharing the knowledge. Good luck on your 3D journey and thank you for the comment :)
Amazing!! Thank you so much I really appreciate your support it really means a lot :) Really glad you like the video and I hope you find my future videos entertaining and helpful! :D
What a good breakdown! so clear, so statifying to watch. And a beautiful result aswell! Please do continue these types of video's, with voice over and showing your process.
Prepare to be mesmerized! This tutorial is like a backstage pass to the cinematic wonders crafted in Blender. Get ready to unravel the secrets and bring your 3D scenes to life like never before! 🌈✨
Absolutely stunning! I ended up not having time to work much on my animation and couldn't finish it on time, so I'm thinking about turning it into something slightly different, but this is a wonderful example of where smart work within set boundaries can get you!
I'm so mad at the youtube algorithm for not showing me your videos sooner! this was very impressive! Can't wait to binge watch your other videos now haha
@@Chilloveque It's mainly just consistency over time and you'll get there! Most of this was learnt from UA-cam tutorials, it just takes a bit of time to get there! :)
Amazing work, I'm surprised that you didn't get to the top 100. You have such a good workflow and a good optimization of the scene, thanks for the breakdown, I'm going to try your workflow next time
Thank you :) I'll see if I can include more info on it in future videos. Most of it is just doing a base high res sculpt, retopologizing that mesh to make it low res, adding a multi-res to the retopology subdividing it a few times, then add a shrinkwrap modifier targeting the high res sculpt, then apply it and it puts that detail onto the multi-res layer, so you've now got an animatable mesh with detail kept in the modifier. Then to texture it I UV unwrap the low res mesh, duplicate it and apply the modifier on the duplicate so I'm texturing on a high res model but the textures still work on the original with the multi res
@@lewisanimationyour videos motivated me to learn animation, can you tell me how much time do I need to learn animation like you ? I was working as judge so I need to manage time to learn animation. Edit: hope you will answer to me
@@KPCStudioOfficial Amazing to hear you've liked my videos! Animation is a really great thing to learn :) So I've been learning Blender for about 3.5 years now. It depends on what type of animations you want to make as to how long it will take. It's taken a while for me because I want to create quite complex scenes, but you may find your niche sooner. It definitely is a years long process to develop the skills to a high level and to find your own style, but I will always say that it's worth it!
Please don't give up! Getting to this stage has taken years of work and a lot of things went wrong along the way. A shot like this also takes a very long time to make too so definitely don't compare your current ability to it. It just takes some time to find your own niche and what you're good at and that you enjoy :)
This is one of the coolest scenes I've seen done in Blender. A suggestion which I myself am a bit curious on how to do now is including muscles and jiggle physics on the dragon. That would make this even more epic.
Thank you very much I really appreciate it :) I think softbody simulations could work, maybe even manually adding some shape keys. This was already at the limit of my PC so wouldn't have been possible but I'll think about it for next time!
I've just started trying to learn Blender and 3D animation like, last week, and stuff like this is what I want to ultimately create. It's easy to see how much I have to learn!
This is epic!! I hope I will someday learn how to make amazing works of art like this in Blender! It's a long learning process, but I'm willing to put in the time and effort! 😁
Thank you so much! That's a really great approach to have, most of this was learnt from UA-cam tutorials so the info is out there, it just takes time and consistency. Really good luck on your Blender journey! :)
thank you, i learned so much from this breakdown. one thing miss is staging. the dragon move and the cloth's glowing effect happened in the same time. we focus on the dragon and didn't see the cloth at the first glance. I hope you can make another awesome next time!
Thank you very much! And I completely agree, the effects would look a lot better being able to focus on one part then the other, it would've probably overall worked better in a small sequence instead of one shot. Thank you for your feedback :)
Truly remarkable work. Very informative as well. I'm feeling very inspired after watching this. You also did a great job of making this video engaging.
THANK YOUUUUUU!!!!! I wanted to model a creature for my story, and i couldn't find the thing that works for bones... NOW, CAUSE OF YOU, I KNOW. I LOVE YOUUUUUUUUUUU THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCHHHH
I'm surprised this didn't make top 100, but I believe I know why - it's likely because the story doesn't develop much. I suspect if some kind of magic beam or shield came out of the staff it would have been enough to carry this into perfection and it also would have balanced out the color and lighting values from the near monochromatic color scheme it currently is. As it is now, both characters essentially just strike a both and nothing happens. I get that the fire in the dragons mouth and the symbols on the witches back light up, but that doesn't quite suggest enough on what is about to happen. incredible work overall, great explanation of modelling tools and techniques
Thank you for your feedback! You're spot on with it, the original plan was to add fire being blocked by some kind of magic shield, but my PC was really struggling with embergen and I ran out of time to work something out! I agree it would've worked super well with a contrasting colour magic effect. Thank you for spending the time I appreciate the comment :)
I just started today making the Blender Guru's Doughnut and im picking it up quite fast. this inspires me to keep making my cylinder sprinkles xD watching this is amazing. great work!
Amazing! Learning Blender was one of the best decisions of my life and I hope it turns out the same for you, I wish you luck on your new journey! Really glad you enjoyed the video :)
Overall, that looked really good. But the design on the shirt didn't catch my eye until the tutorial part. I was mostly looking at the dragon. I wonder if an edit to do a closeup when the shirt is beginning to spread glow so it's more visible then cut to that distance you have AFTER it glows? That's really my only "complaint" if you even call it that. That was a lot of work! Great job and thanks for explaining the process/steps.
Thank you so much! I completely agree, the shirt animation was a lot less noticeable. This sequence would work a lot better using multiple shots to focus on one thing at a time. Thank you for your feedback :)
@@lewisanimation 4:14 there you go! Just rerender that shot with the full scene. 2 seconds is all you need. Edit that OVER your existing movie in your vid editor. 48 frames rendered.... prob take you what, 5 min and then another 5 in the vid editor and boom. Fast improved result!! haha I mean, it's so hard to remember that thing about modeling details that people won't be able to see. I am guilty of it all the time.
@@TruthSurge Perfect thank you! I'll look into creating something like this for a short on my other socials! I completely agree about the spending too much time modelling unnecessary things, it's a good habit to break! :)
Very nice animation. What is a HW requirements(how much RAM, type of RAM, CPU, type CPU, type VGA, is laptop possible or not ?, time spend on animation, etc) for this animation ? Thnak you. Do not stop make it your perfect animations. I like it.
Thank you :) There are quite a few good retopology tutorials on youtube, then I'd recommend also learning about the multiresolution modifier and the shrinkwrap modifier!
u r really good at detailism and layers and baby steps ,shot progression in minimalistic way.still though i noticed between bg and mg there was a gap which made the bg matte painting noticable .u should create one more mg there
The cloth design lighting animation is cool but kinda remains unnoticed due to day lighting it will do great in dark lighting anyway great work learned a lot
This is honestly amazing work and I love how thoroughly you've broken it down here to show that even a super complex looking scene like this is actually created by a LOT of fairly simple techniques, just combined very well.
Damn i love the idea with the noise plane infront of the lights, very cool, only critique i have is that it could have been "more" more colours, more dragon horns etc. But very professional job!
Thank you so much :) The heat distortion effect was from a CG Cookie tutorial. And thank you for the feedback! With more time I definitely would've wanted to add more detail to the sculpt and texturing of the dragon
@@lewisanimation i also mean more colours in general, fire, greenery, smoke, blood, steal, water, u defenetly have the potential to be in top ten next time, ill participate too ;)
As somebody who understands none of what is being said here. I like your funny words, magic man.
This man just made blender look easy. Respect!
Thank you so much glad you like it! :)
He said it took 3 weeks to get 5 seconds!
that's what a generalist means
The way you animated that emisive design was incredible would like more of an indepth tutorail on that for sure! Great job!
Thank you so much! :)
@@lewisanimation would love to see that as well!
@@lewisanimation i wanna see that too!
yes i really liked that part man. can u make video about that.. looks fire!
@@lewisanimation We need a tutorial!
Completely awesome. Big budget feature film grade for sure!
Just starting my Blender jouney but this is an INCREDIBLE inspiration. Amazing work.
Thank you so much! Good luck on your Blender journey, it's one of the best decisions I ever made and I hope it is for you too :)
how's your journey going? I am 3 months in on mine. I learn new things every day!
2 things I love about this: The cloth sim and the emissive pattern design
Amazing! Glad you like it :)

I really love your method of creating a matte painting. It looks so good yet its less time consuming than modeling.
after seeing your work, my interest in blender increased even more 👍
That's amazing! Glad you like it :)

ah man this is great! Would love to see more in depth on your multi-res workflow, that's a part of blender I feel like I rarely see touched...
