    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".

    • @lewisanimation
      @lewisanimation  8 місяців тому +7

      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

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!

    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

    • @lewisanimation
      @lewisanimation  24 дні тому

      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 :)
