For those of us who already have an age, seeing these advances in software and your genius using them is an adrenaline injection.
indeed. so sick. still can´t my head around it that this runs in realtime haha
I'm pretty young so watching these advances in technology and ai happening so fast is kind of depressing, because when I think of all the work I'm putting into learning it, and how soon there is just gonna be random people making masterpieces without actually trying due to the technology they have, it makes me wonder if all the skills I'm building right now are gonna be useless when I'm actually old enough to use those skills in life. I'm basically gonna be an old dude who has no idea how to use the technology of the next generation, and who keeps using outdated technology. In fact, I'm still using blender 3.0, davinci resolve 18.0, and fl studio 21.0 because I just don't want to have to get used to a newer versions of all of these.
@DashenBoi blender 4.0 is barely a leap lol, its a new font and quality of life changes
@@DashenBoi it's even worse now since you left this comment. Have you seen OpenAI's Sora?
@@kickheavy8982 nah
the "my girlfriend thinks im an idiot" feel is so recognizable haha.
Me: Simulation nodes are HERE!!!!
GF: Idiot... 🤣🤣
except for the "girlfriend" part
@@sicfxmusic that's about right 💀
While watching the video at 12:28 people can clearly see how much you love your craft.
This is the reason artists put their time in your youtube channel. Thanks a lot for making all these valuable tutorials. ❤
Thank you so much man!!! That really means a lot to hear ❤️ Thanks for watching!
Yeah after all these years of CGI still Heartbeat moments, that is true Love
He was touched and me either looking to his craft, indeed!
So beautiful to see so much passion into it.
Tack tack!
WOAH I didn’t expect the final render with the smoke man crawling out of the floor into the city, that was AMAZING.
Now remember kids, don’t smoke, or you’ll become *O N E W I T H T H E S M O K E*
I am one with the smoke the smoke is with me
TOO LATE, I'M STARTING TO-🚬🌫🌫🌫
You two didn’t heed my warning, now you suffer the consequences
Alright I’m on smoke break- AAAAAAAAA
@@Polyfjordbro did you time this when Smoke got revealed in MK1 or its just coincidence. Just curious
@@Polyfjord Epic Star Wars reference.
I mean... You are an extremely dedicated and talented person. You alone make worth of the internet! Thank you soooo much for your selfless and humble sharing of artistry techniques. I'm just wowed by every single video you pull out, the amount of valuable information you give away are incredible! THANK YOU!!!!!
dude youre like the most entertaining blender creator to me, seeing you walk through the process and getting excited abt it really inspires me
Let's hope they use EmberGen for Smoker in the upcoming One Piece live action show. Dude is literally LITERALLY made out of Smoke
Just amazing to see all this! When you were excited about how it came out halfway trough, I was a little sceptical. But then you made the final video and it all came together. Astonishing, just astonishing what smoke rendering with EmberGen can do and all.
THE FINAL RENDER IS INSANELY COOL
I never really had a big interest in 3D modeling or simulations, but after seeing one of your videos and how incredibly passionate you are about it, I just had to go and binge all your videos!!
Seriously, I've looked at some other blender youtubers but none of them even come close to being as enjoyable to watch as you are.
Thank you so much for the videos. Keep doing what you love!
Thank you so much!! That really means a lot!
Because those are not "a polyfjord tutorial"
Holy cow!!!!!
The cinematic with the smoke man standing and walking away in the city looked like a Spider man villain or something. Absolutely amazing!
Yeah! Spider-Man villain! That was exactly the vibe! Maybe he's called the Smog...
His name was sandman as Karl Marko if i remember
This is amazing. Love the videos from you. The sheer joy my 2 year old had watching the smoke dance across the screen making me rewind the video over and over so he could continue to watch it is a joy I wish upon everyone! Cheers
This was by far the Most amazing smoke effects demo I've ever seen!
So awesome!!! And I love how you love making this💨
12:33 my goodness the way the smoke guy collapses looks so natural, love it so much!
That's just beautiful, I literally got goosebumps by seeing the emberGen previews, but the final result with the camera play also. Good one, mate, good one!
Love your content! One of THE best blender channels.
THATS AMAZING! The passion and the result! Thanks!
It's always super exciting to discover awesome software and all the cool things they can do, especially when I witness how wonderfully you utilize them!
your passion and excitement is contagious! So eager to get into ember gen
this is the coolest thing ever, literally got the chills after seeing the blender export
"It's going to take literally forever to render this" - me, every time.
Thats how you create a really good looking antagonist.
The level of craftsmanship displayed in this walkthrough animation is exceptional.
A-maze-ing. The blue just makes it. Can’t wait to try this software out.
Thats some pretty incredible stuff. Insane what these softwares are capable of, and what a creative idea!
i love the use of the yellow /orange color of the sun, gives it so lovely touch in the final result
Just imagine how amazing a dancing couple would be. Awesome video 😊
Amazing! This has to be the coolest thing i’ve seen. Thanks to showing the process! So beautiful!
Thanks so much!!
Another incredible video. EmberGen doing gods work making the process so efficient
That was absolute satisfaction watching that smoke sim and the sound design just made it next level
This software is amazing! I have recently been importing and using ember gen effects into ue5 for a project I’m working on and they look even more realistic than real life
It's so funny how passionate and excited you get when it comes to simulations 🤣
Dude this is amazing!!
That was the single most beautiful thing I’ve seen in my life 😮
This is so cool man! Watching you have so much fun making this is really inspiring me to just drop everything I'm doing right now to create! That's it I'm going to create something!
Go for it!
wow first time in a while a tutorial that actually worked thanks man
WOW that was so amazing and stunning possibilities and of course you are genius!
You learnt me 3d when i started 2 years ago and the day i learnt about embergen i immediatly thought of you... Thank you for being so curious and teaching so nicely, i wish you all the best.
Learning a new thing in each of your new videos. Great!
This just looks amazing. Beeing able to simulate smoke in realtime in unbelievable.
this is absolutely incredible and inspirational!
You gone crazy! Love it, love you❤
awesome FX. Thanks for sharing!
Such a great video! love your passion man. Wish this was available for Mac users!
amazing as always, thank you
Now i really want you to make some logia users from one peice lol this fits the vibe so well. Also kinda trendy lol
I´m impressed! Fantastic creativity, and I am amazed to see there´s now a real-time version of those stuff we would only be able to make before in Houdini, it´s possible!
Amazing! It turned out really great.
looks epic!!
🙌
Awesome as always!
What a nice work, I really like your videos. Imagine this smoke animation with a dancer, or a winged being.
So cool. I love watching your videos because your enthusiasm is so contagious and inspiring.
Thank you so much!
i am in love with this man and his work
Wow. Amazing 🔥🔥🔥
This is actually so cool and inspiring! Love from Norway :D
Congratulations on the new studio or set-up
This is so cool. Awesome video as always man!
Thank you for hearting my comment! Watching your video’s really inspires me to work harder and push through my journey of learning 3D. You are awesome, keep doing what you do. ✌️
Welcome to the Embergen club!
Thanks!!
Beautiful.. Good job
Amazing as always ❤😀
this looks amazing and shows that a good render needs so much more than a good animation.
Im pretty sure Blender renders faster if you render with tiling of about 256 pixels.
Awesome 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You're a genius artist
Incredible shots..
15:30 best use of a mixamo default animation ever
Absolutely Stunning!!
Mind blowing ❤️
wow! that was beautiful! Definitely top notch CGI on this. I would love to see a story about the smoke people
Sweet, I’m happy we got a little extra scene at the end. I thought that was cool
at 12:36 I gasped with him as well... OMFG that was so satisfying! Amazing work man!
That was so cool!!!!!! 👍👍👍
EXCELENTE. FUNCIONA!!! MUCHAS GRACIAS
This was amazing
Yo the secound render was sick! Almost villan like
Thanks to share...you are my inspirational VFX Guru...
😂 the moment you said head and shoulders I knew it was coming
So amazing
The fact this software works on my laptop is amazing. Not as smoothly but still around 30 fps. Although this was not a tutorial I learnt a lot from watching it. I wondered which node controlled the smoke
amazing result
you have an amazing ability to blow minds!
Beautiful video.
Great work as always
This is EPIC 😳
Amazing 👏🏼
The Goat is back !
Amazing
"Oh of course the lightening is real time too".... Ive been a VFX artist for 28 years. This would have taken weeks to render back on the old SGI pentium II machines with hours and hours of waiting for feedback to adjust strength of wind and lighting. mind blown.
Wow i never realised how beautiful Norway is, it's so mystical!
Amazing!
What's even more impressive about Embergen is that you don't even need a powerful GPU to run it. I tried is when it was in its beta some time ago (as far as I remember it used to be free?) and tested it on GTX 770 with 2GB of VRAM and it worked just fine. HOW IS IT SO WELL OPTIMIZED, it's beyond me. I think I'm gonna give it a try once again, because your videos are really inspiring 😄
Damn bro this was soo satisfying!
what to say??? your works are so good like u cant describe with word. with the fact ur the inspiration for me to start learning blender.
It's an great idea for a new category of character 😉❤
Happy to see you, sir ❤
Beautiful job
this will be cool rendered in a morning shot over a lake, like it's mist coming alive and the disappearing on the surface of the water
Awesome idea!! Would love to see it
Both final renders look so damn cool! And the proces seemed so easy wth
Also, if you don't feel awkward when recording mocap footage you're doing something wrong lol
Lol so true!! Good point!
A buddy turned me onto your channel - first view just now. Pretty incredible stuff. Sorry if you've covered some of this but a couple of suggestions for what I think would be really cool. Walking on stilts or extending your arms a foot or so by carrying something. Riding a skateboard or skates, maybe a scooter of some sort. Awesome stuff. Great video!
Great ideas!!!! Also your buddy sounds like an awesome guy :D Thanks for watching!!
holy sh!t, amazing, dude
bro all the inspiration i just got from this
