6:10 "i got tiny hands"
why did bro report himself like that 😭💀
“Like a New Yorker”
The water look so realistic, what about fire and explosion stuff?
Smooth.
As a nerd and vfx artist, liquid simulations are one of the most fascinating thing about CGI. This is amazing.
fr
one of the most technical but satisfying FX imo
I really recommend Sebastian Lague's video in which he implements fluid simulation from scratch.
@@gavinderulo12 one of the best on UA-cam.
Did a job a couple of years ago where the client bought us a Phoenix license. Sure, it's nowhere near as good as what the big boys use but its fun as hell! (except for those times when the sim isnt doing what you want it to and you can figure out why)
Greetings from one of the NYAD vfx artist who worked on the water 😊 ... cool that you picked this movie as an example.
Great job!

@@iliasmoumen5083I will decline on his behalf
I was mind blown when I saw the VFX breakdown a few months ago. I had absolutely no idea it wasn't real (while watching the movie).
Did you mostly use Houdini?
Jordan is so good for Corridor. It's like he was born for this stuff. Not only is he an awesome VFX artist, he's also a great teacher and a great entertainer.
Totally agree
Serious props to the composer/sound designer for having 80’s music when discussing 80’s water sims and 90’s music for 90’s sims. It did not go unnoticed and is such a perfect choice.
Da Vinci was obsessed in the last years of his life with trying to draw water in movement - eddies, cascades, currents. No freeze-frame in those days - he had to try to imagine what it could possible look like from scratch. Standing in front of a spouting sluice trying to capture instantaneous swirls and sparkles in sepia ink on coarse paper is one of those doomed but deeply romantic heroic quests. A man after my own heart.
The answer he got to, to judge by his sketchbooks, ranged from hair to cabbage. A great online rabbit hole to go down if you're in a curious mood.
wow this is very fascinating! I never thought about this
You would get 10/10 in an english essaya
@@xdezio4791 Praise indeed. Ta! Have a great week.
i do the same thing. its weird as heck. i wish i could walk around the world like a normal person. but whenever i go anywhere, i see things and i'm like ''how could i draw that? I wonder if there's a way to render that with graphics?'' from the gravel on the road, to blades of grass, to water....and yes, even when i pee I'm looking at that water stream and y brain is analysing it like ''look at the way the light hits there and the way it ripples etc etc'' theres a scene in a Ghost In The Shell episode where someone pours water over teapot, and even tough it was anime, and CGI, it looked so realistic, it was amazing. but anyway, i feel Da Vincis pain
It's a good thing that Da Vinci had such Resolve, otherwise people would have claimed it was Black Magic.
Naming your water system Loki, the literal god of mischief says a thing or two about how freaking hard it is
He is also the god of fire and lies. Perhaps there is some kind of ironic joke in this.
I can just imagine them going, "We named it Loki because we don't know how it works at all... Sometimes it gives us what we ask, other times it gives use rivers of blood instead... For all we know, it could actually be using dark magic..."
It's crazy how they named their CGI systems after me!!
@@Obukhov_Artem Not really. There is not much contention between Logi and loki besides their names, and loki seems to be more frustratingly truthful just look at lokasenna or when brok tried to take Lokis head but he couldn't touch his neck. He also holds to his promises and solves the problems set upon him even if he has nothing to do with it, like when thor had his hammer stolen by Thrym.
Odin is more of a trickster than loki
Edit: loki is just a rules lawyer
@@WordsOfARavenLoki is known as the god of mischief what do you mean?
I'm sure this is an obvious observation but the QUALITY corridor produces is actually insane. Beautiful cinematography, story telling, editing, everything... These guys have truly nailed it with their craft.
Totally agree! Been watching them for well over a decade & to see their transformation and team they built, it's truly magical. Very thankful for the amount of effort they put into all their videos.
@@SoCloseToToast Dude same, I swear i’ve been subbed since their real life minecraft stuff 13 years ago, and it’s only ever gotten better from there. Also gonna act like you didn’t just respond to my comment lol
Yeah, absolutely amazing quality! One of my favorite Corridor Crew videos so far.
only thing they missed was HOW they managed to combine volumes and particle sims
I think the issue is that the "ravine" you started with was a macro shot of a small scrape in dirt, like someone took a stick and ran it through a patch of barely wet mud. That screws up the scale because now the "river" is really just a trickle that you then put large body effects like cavitation on leading to uncanny valley.
Yea, a bit of an odd choice.
Exactly my thoughts. When I've seen his example without bubbles and all of that large water body stuff, it was like real life creek. They look the same. Those have no bubbles and swirls, academically speaking they have laminar flow with low Reynolds number. But when you add foam and bubbles, it starts to look like large river.
I don't know what's more impressive; the fact that you manage to recreate industry-leading level effects on prosumer gear, or the fact that you've managed to make real, proper connections with industry-leading professionals even though you're 'just a UA-cam channel'. Amazing to see how far you guys have come.
To be fair.. at 6 million subscribers and growing.. I wouldn't be surprised if many in the industry or soon to be in the industry aren't already fans and subscribers of them
He still didn't though... Look at the "shore" - real water makes things wet. His water looks like it's in a hydrophobic river bed...
@@t.a.d.m.a55 Whether to define them as fans or not, what I think the industry members really appreciates is that Corridor highlights the artistry, blood, sweat and tears, and most importantly, the incredible SKILL required to actually use and manipulate CGI in a way that's favourable to your film. I bet a lot of CGI industry artists/directors/leads (etc) often felt bad or got really tired from constantly being shat on by the public, because the public doesn't understand just how difficult it actually is.
Personally what I really like with Corridor is that they both inspire new artists by showing what's possible without industry grade resources, as well as highlighting the difference between them and industry grade artists. It gives you a great contrast of "hey it's not that hard to start" and then also showing just how high the skill-ceiling goes for this type of work, showing just how hard these artists have worked to reach their level and that they're due credit.
Weta has had their radar locked on Corridor since The Alabine Armor 😇
But seriously though, the way Weta stays on top is having employed top artists and engineers, and this requires a broad base of skilled recruits to choose from. They know Corridor has many budding artists in their audience. So by making time for "the little ones" they are making sure the best artists want to work for Weta.
@@NomSauce Well, said! This is confirmed further by the enthusiasm from Chris sharing their work. (My favourite part of the video).
"..they're only concerned with themselves, like New yorkers " LMAO
I really thought they were gonna have Dean say “I’m walkin’ heeah” in the background lol
as a New Yorker, I laughed cause it's true...
Hey, this is amazing! Being a two-decade experienced FX "dude," I would just like to add that Scnaline had in the space. We combined fluid and particles; this "state" machine was already in 2003, with cades of experience. One of the craziest ever simulations I enjoyed contributing to was a movie called 300 Part Two. There was a battle of ships ( built out of planks to simulate destruction ) of the battle of Salamis ( 400+ BC ). Where we had water, bubbles, whitewater, and OIL! The oil was simulated on top of the water and then ignited. So imagine a setup that creates ocean water, then has ships disturbing it, with bubbles and spray particles that turn into bubbles with oil ( a fluid with different properties ) on top that then turn into fire and gas, consuming the oil and all of that in ONE setup.
Simulation is fun, ever-evolving, and full of amazing artists and characters that drive it forward. Goodspeed!
YES!
And that's how Steam was invented...
@@KenLieck Lots of fun to simulate it for sure :)
It's not the tool that carves the statue. It's the Artist who wields it.
Very insightful video and I look forward to what Jordan has in store for us next.
Jordan has completely evolved into a solo Sunday guy. Hell yeah Jordan you're awesome!
I love that Weta set up a proper 3-point lighting setup for their interview. :D Great work all!
Seriously! Fanciest looking zoom call ever
not to be pedantic but that distinctly doesn't look 3-point
@@JacksonKillroy Don't be a "Negative Phil". ;)
@@JacksonKillroyI'm glad people still pay attention :-)
I always feel like the biggest difficulty with water simulations in VFX is the scale. Choosing the minimum scale that will look realistic for the size of your scene makes a huge difference.
Your scene looks great! But it also looks really small. Barely a 12 inch wide creek, even with all the added foam detail, because it's still globular, the foam is large, and the water flows quickly.
If you want it to look larger, you need to simulate larger. More particles for more surface detail, slower speed (scaled up scene during simulation) to give a better sense of momentum, and much smaller more detailed foam and sand.
And that's the big benefit that big productions have over our little home setups: Compute power for the larger simulations.
I’m lowkey digging Jordan slowly taking the reins on the channel, he has such a strong passion for this stuff and it really shines through in the videos.
CGI water is a thing we are still constantly improving, but I think we are now at the point where it is so close to real, that it is basically indistinguishable.
I guess that there will always be edge cases, where they either have to throw a lot more time and effort to solve, or just work around (avoid) to meet a budget.
Yeah I think now it's mainly about making it easy to use and more controllable. Because physics carry the simulation, but the desired result may not be realistic.
I just love this style of video like Wrens learning ones, it reminds me of captain D or Hbomb doing long form love fests of films and techniques
We are at the point where the CGI Water starts to look better then in realife 😅
Well, not in Nyad, there it was really noticeable.
Jordan is actually the goat of corridor right now, Keep it up!
Yo Chico

No, Wren will never be passed. ;)
@@roelvoortnah cmike ain't being passed
They are all cool, stop arguing.
That river render at the end looks like the most crisp drink of water you’ll ever have
As someone whose done a lot of lighting and editing this video's really a treat. So many well executed shot comps with stellar story telling with just the lighting. The audio edits were perfect to drive the dramatic tones of Jordan. Chefs kiss!
20:35 "Math and science without that spark of humanity is soulless" Preach!
yep, thats beautiful!
I just responded with the opposite sentiment. Nature is crafted by math and science -- the thing we consider beautiful is math and science. The machines we've created to help us simulate it just aren't good enough at math and science yet, so it's left to us to use our intuition to finish the job.
hard disagree, it can be, but most of the time is quite the oposite
Math, a model, and science, an explanation, were created by humanity. I don't believe either to be soulless - just imperfect.
I hope it was intentional how topical that sentence was.
This is probably one of the most entertaining and fascinating commentaries on a visual effect that I've seen in years. I would love to see more videos like this about other "effects" in visual effects. Maybe one about cloth sims or global illimination, etc. Great work!
I honestly never thought I'd see Corridor go into a more technical topic like this. Really glad to see.
Water is one of that FXs that make you sweat when you see it on your tasks list haha, but at the same time water gives you one of the most motivational feedbacks. its looks sooo pretty.
time to waterbend
plus, judging by the new live action adaptation, you don't need to worry about water making things it hits wet when you waterbend!
(I actually kinda liked the new adaptation, and understand why that was a huge limitation, but it was still a bit disappointed to see people get smacked across the head with water and remain completely dry)
@@andystealth88I’ll argue that the water they bent was splashed into the face but it was still being moved off their face like you can dry yourself by bending the water
At first I thought I'd read "time to waterbed" and was thinking... yeah, that could be an interesting simulation.
Your idea is way better.
Jordan quickly became one of my favorite crew members. His videos are always great, but this might be one of my favorite corridor videos yet.
This was legit one of the most interesting videos I’ve watched in weeks. Always fascinated by CGI but even more so by an artists ability to enhance and build on top of it.
This is the greatest episode to watch right as I am going to sleep, cant wait to have a weird water dream tonight and nearly pee myself.
funny for me this video is posted early in the morning
water dream? so you want to have a wet dream in other words? 😅
😂😂😂
Update: I woke up about 10 minutes ago and I really need to pee.
I love that I can feel Deans presence off screen. Great duo, even when they're both not even on camera 😂
The 90s music playing during Jordan's montage of water sims in films like Pirates really warmed my heart.
This is phenomenal Jordan - MORE!
I got to say the water sim that Jordan did is therapeutic and satisfying and it can be a 10hr loop video too
To this day, the production value of corridor is unmatched. Great video guys!
This was the best edited and produced video I've seen from you guys, yet! Entertaining, informative, funny, engaging... very well done.
This was beautiful, Jordan! Thank you for all the research and attention to details and humor! More of this please!
I was part of the NYAD water crew and am so proud to see it as one of your examples for great watersimulations 😍
Nuh uh

I thought water sims peaked when we got N64's Wave Race. My mind was 🤯
That's funny you mention Wave Race 64 and it's water graphics since I recently discovered a UA-cam video on just that very topic. I've been listening to its soundtrack this summer and loving its blissful 90's vibes 😂😂😂
“Come back. Try again.” Is seared into my memory
The graphical jump from SNES to N64 blew my freaking mind.
The water in Sea of Thieves looks great as well! I get that pit in my stomach feeling when doing underwater missions 😅
I recently replayed it - still looks phenomenal!
Love this. You can pick a lot of this up while learning CG, but it's rare to see is arranged in a historical narrative like this which makes it interesting and entertaining.
10:26 Jorden: Like new yorker
Dean: proceeds to prove him right
It's funny how much I'm starting to love Jordan episodes. He's amazing
Edit: The scene on the couch with only one spotlight on him and in the sandworm episode where he was whispering in a dark room. This has so much personality. They could just record a straightfoward video but no no no. There's a special sauce.
Whoever is in charge of the Ad placements needs a raise lmao the last two videos were top notch.
I absolutely love Jordan’s videos. The vfx in sports video blew my mind, and so does this.
The depth and history plus hard work makes it all so good
Is off the charts! Some of these shots are incredible and the little music fade ends like that old school modem sound, a lot of really tiny high-quality details. Excellent work you guys
I like how this whole video was all in one an entertaining video, showed the processes people endeavored through to get the tools we have, and also basically said shut up to the AI bros saying that they are artists JUST because they put prompts into a generator. You can be an artist and use these tools but you aren't an artist just because you use these tools.
I always love how excited experts get when explaining their field lol.
Dude this format of video is fascinating. Thank you so much Jordan for this amazing walkthrough of stuff I only ever dreamed of understanding!
I really love these solo videos from the corridor guys. Getting to see their presenting styles is fun
I saw Chris talk about cg water at fmx this year, really cool and Inspirational stuff!!
3:54 this gave off romero vibes from spy kids 2
Super instructive, well sourced, easy to watch and right on topic...
This is the kind of videos I'm expecting from this channel.
Hope to see more in the future!
We are always amazed by how you guys fiddle with VFX... But the production and editing in this video is beautiful!! Also Jordan is great in front of the camera. He is like Corridor's own VFX Kyle Hill.
Have you guys checked out the visual effects in the old Telugu movie 'Mayabazar' (1957)?
It's a classic Indian film that used some pioneering techniques for its time. Despite being made over six decades ago, the creativity and ingenuity behind its special effects are truly impressive. It would be great to see you react to how they achieved those effects with the limited technology available back then. It’s a fascinating example of early VFX work that holds a special place in Indian cinema history!
I remember when I first saw Wave Race 64's water & physics and thought it was the most realistic water I'd ever seen in video games!
Crazy how far things have come since then 😅
Jordan does such an amazing job of explaining and making complex topics engaging. Awesome job Jordan! Having Chris was amazing too! Everyone at Corridor is world class.
Man I really want you guys to get Ken Perlin on your show somehow. Bless up to his noise equation, we leapt into artistry with it long before we could truly do the math!
What a beautifully crafted water simulation. But whats even more beautiful is the message youre sending about artists and their involvement in this process. kudos. The internet needs more videos like these.
What a great video, that was such a throwback to those old movie magic type documentaries that made me appreciate vfx in the first place
Don’t ever stop making videos Jordan. Superbly well done!
I really enjoy this format every so often Corridor guys! I feels like a great documentary that's educational and fun. I hope to see more of these in the future
Yey, water CGI videos has always been my favourite topic! 💦🌊
now i need a full series of Jordan messing around with sims of various kinds
Another fun video thanks, and always bonus points for a Cinefex glimpse!
16:12 Damn that looks extremely realistic, well done! You could say it's a real life video and I'd believe it without second doubt.
Yeah, the only giveaway for me is how the foam just sort of vanishes and doesn't persist on the surface as long as I expect. But I'd probably never notice without looking hard at it.
You have stepped up your game! I can always count on the educational aspect of your VFX videos--but the storytelling and editing in this one is your best yet. Please keep it up and THANK YOU!!!
Can I just say, that the quality of the CorridorCrew videos (no, not just the VFX used in the objective of each video) has become insanely good? You build little narratives and the direction/editing is top notch. Keep it up!
one of the best corridor videos in a very very very long time. I've been watching yall for years and im seriously impressed!
I love the energy wich Jordan has and brings. So great. I am always filled with joy when he has so much time on screen
11:00 Great bit! And it makes so much sense that Dean is from NY lol
This is the PERFECT video. I know it's not always easy to make this stuff compelling but you guys keep delivering every time.
The message of this video had me think of practical effects in film, like lighting. When I took the time to learn about lighting I was blown away by how deliberately complex certain shots are lit, and how phenomenal lighting could almost tell the story itself. It's easy to see these things as unimportant until you sit down and understand why these things are done. These things don't *need* to be complex, but the artistry is made spectacular because of it.
This was very fun to watch and very interesting. Thanks for the deep dive Jordan!
I love this guy so much. Thanks Jordan!
Your episodes keep getting better and better! Thanks!
This is a very nice and pleasing documentary format. I hope you guys do more of this.
Ooohhh. Love these videos.
2:21 "We did a deep dive." I see what you did there...!
I think I say this every time but giving Jordan control over episodes was one of the best things you guys have ever done
This video reminds me of a book I read once about prospecting and it discussed fluid dynamics of a river at peak snow melt, and how it churns up the overburden, carries placer gold downstream, and creates deposits where the course of the river makes slower spots. It would be interesting to simulate that process to show where gold deposits accumulate!
Much water.
very wow
A great trip down memory lane about the history of water in movies 👏👏
As an Ex Fluid TD, this was awesome. The art continues to advance! Also, Chris is a legend 🙌🏾
Does anyone else love these guys and how they are all such huge personalities and different and yet they are seamlessly the same. I’m glad to see Jordan get more and more screen time. I’d love to hang out for a day in the life in the home office and just blog about them all. Rock on Jordan ❤

Shoutout out to Corridor and Jordan's presentation and research skills. This was such a well-produced video. A+++++
Awesome Job Jordan. Big get with Chris. Great episode. You’re getting very very good at hosting videos.
"Erased the white board and did a DEEP DIVE"..... "DIVING into water simulation...." I see what you did there
It's amazing how artists can understand the world better than scientists
ATM, yes. NVidia is doing a lot of hidden work using physics situations with AI. I speculate that they are going to do an 'open the flood gates' moment, when they are ready.
These tools are only possible due to the work of computer graphics engineers, not us artists.
This was such an awesome video! I love film and science so this was right up my alley. Crazy how far vfx have come over the past 30 years! Such a great history/physics lesson on this! So cool
This was such an amazing video, and funny as well! Even the sponsor section was great 😂
Quality content as always!
some of my favorite corridor videos are just one of the artists taking time to just nerd out and give their full knowledge on screen
This video is a prime example of why I love this channel. VFX artistry requires somewhat of an understanding of how things in the world work so when you do a video about light, physics or more specifically for this video fluid dynamics, I always learn something new or gain a different angle to learn something. Plus my brain is very mechanical based so I also enjoy it when you show us a behind the scenes look on what is actually being done with VFX.
Keep up the good work guys.
interesting how this channel started as a secondary corridor channel and is now one of the most informative and didactic for VFX
The final shot looks amazing. You had me on the previous one, but the final is just awesome. :)
Corridor is so lucky to have Jordan on their team. Charismatic and a genius.
One of the best Corridor videos, absolutely wonderful!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE KIND OF CONTENT FROM CORRIDOR. Jordan is a delight, as usual. Also, interesting sponsor. First time hearing of them, seems pretty useful!
This was such an incredible piece by Jordan and Corridor Crew! Thanks for sharing!
Love Jordan! Such a great addition to the crew!!
