I think this is an excellent decision. Such ambition to create a communuty feature. You have been such a great driving force behind this project which I think is reflected in the decision of your backers to continue their support through this change. To retrospecitvely reward all of the contributors who have worked on Tiki so far is outstanding. They will always be recongnised as part of the team which created this project. I will look out for all of their names. Now that Real By Fake have such a solid base to work with, I am sure that their professional structure and experience will make Tiki an historic moment in blender's development. I hope that you keep some involvement as a producer alongside your directorial role as that is arguably a more difficult task at which you have clearly excelled. Congratations succeeding at the monumental task of keeping this project alive. I very much look forward to seeing Tiki and wish you every success with this adapted direction.
Thanks for the update and honesty Robert, I am sure "Real By Fake" will do a fantastic job of Tiki. It is a shame that you couldn't find any animators, but in the same breath I guess it was quite a big ask. Either way, you haven't given up, you've adapted and sought a good route to take Tiki forward. All the best to you and the team, I really look forward to seeing the completion of Tiki.
Always have a plan B. I had it from the beginning. That’s why I wanted the team to sign a contract with the clause about them getting paid if one person gets paid.
Bravo Blender Bob. La réalité étant ce qu’elle est, il est préférable de terminer le film plutôt que de suivre un idéal impossible à réaliser et de tout faire planter. Tes capsules sont toujours intéressantes. Continue comme ça. Bonne chance pour la suite!
I’m stoked to see the finished project of this Bob! I think it’s overall better to have it as a finished movie than for it only to be a community project no matter what.
I bet YOU'RE the one who is frustrated. How hard it must be to see this project take such a turn. But still, so much better than dropping it! I hope it comes out looking better than you imagined.
I think what matters most is that the project gets finished, the Blender world will benefit from yet another finished movie a lot more than from something that died from lack of available resources. The way you considered the human factor and decided to pay everybody who contributed is outstanding.
Love the Asterix and Obelix reference in the clips..... so that's how the potion ended up. Good Luck and Congrats to the team and just awesome people who are making this project Happen.
This is amazing news actually. I'm so glad the project gets to live on! Also just have to mention...and definitely call out how amazing of a leader you've been for this project. Just the business/management side of this and how you've had to pivot so many times has been quite impressive to see. Keep it up Bob...I have no doubt this is going to be an amazing film! 🙌🏽
Hey Bob- big fan from the start , then kinda tuned out for a while but noticed the Tiki Project. Good on you for all the work you did. And a Montreal accent to boot-
I think you are 💯 right about negativity online and totally agree with your decisions there. Glad you are able to stay with the project with less stress. Looking forward to it.
I find it brave, honest and showing great integrity to post the update 😊. But even more amazing is this great recovery sorry. Finding and convincing professionals to take this over is no small feat. Congrats and looking forward to the movie
Thanks for the transparency about everything going on with the movie and congrats on Real By Fake taking it on! One question though, how are you handling the hair sim? I thought that hair sim hasn't been implemented yet with the hair curve system. Is it some physics based surface deform method? Is it a custom solution with geometry nodes? Is it the old particle system hair?
Crazy development. It sounds promising. How high is the budget for this production? If I understand corretly it's now impossible for "outsiders" to contribute to the project anymore?
I would love to see your test comparing houdini to blenders water and Firer. Are you still going to be comping in Blender? or are you guys going to be using Nuke?
There’s no comparison between Blender and Houdini for water sim. I talked about it in one clip I did about Flexseal. Even Flip Fluid addon is not as good.
Its make me think a little bit on my animation short that I am working on. In the first "What is that" shot. How did you made the hair? And how did you rig it? Because my short relie on hair animation. "Lucky Luke" so you can imagen. The new hair system is was far as I know, not yet rig/animatable. Witch make it hard. And also what is the render format for your project? Keep it up. No mater who are making it, I am looking forward to watch it.
Hey, at least you tried to do something my friend. The main thing is you and others learned a lot I'm sure. The negative nanny's only know how to type some words in social media. Pay them no mind.
@@BlenderBob I mean if you're already ok with using product placement in such project then what was the point of the kickstarter? You could just do more than one product placement and voila you'd have budget for an entire project 🤷♂
The Kickstarter was to get the money to record the actors in order to make a demo for potential sponsors. And even Redbull would not be enough to pay for everything.

@@BlenderBob It's a good and fair plan too, salutations.
The Tiki team rocks !!! Can't wait to see the whole movie !!!
Good decision. The shots look VERY uncanny but in a funny way for a short film, the music sounded somewhat convincing

Yes and no. It was too much to handle at this point. And with Real by FAKE team we will end up with a much higher quality project
"... but when it was time to actually do the job..." (02:00)... these are the heroes of everyday life.

get it done Blender Bob, good luck
Great, thanks for the update. Looking forward to seeing the finished project. good luck Bob :O)
Good luck and thanks for keeping it transparent.
The demo looks nice can't wait for the final project.
Love the Asterix and Obelix reference in the clips..... so that's how the potion ended up. Good Luck and Congrats to the team and just awesome people who are making this project Happen.
I was going to say the samething.
I saw this video from start to finish. I for sure will give my best to see the movie once done!
I knew it from the beginning, Tiki project will be awesome. Keep it up.

This sound's great, now the movie will fly!
I think you are 💯 right about negativity online and totally agree with your decisions there. Glad you are able to stay with the project with less stress. Looking forward to it.
Technically Real by FAKE Blender users are part of the community… so… still a community project (ok I’m stretching here)
Great job with the video. I am always looking forward to your presentations, Thanks so much
exciting news! 👍

Agreed. Bob's integrity has been demonstrated wonderfully in this video.

Check out Munorr on X. He did the hair on the characters using his addons.
Looks very promising!
Crazy development. It sounds promising. How high is the budget for this production?
If I understand corretly it's now impossible for "outsiders" to contribute to the project anymore?
Budget is not done yet but it will be more than I ever dreamed on. No help for outside Quebec except for rare exceptions

There’s no comparison between Blender and Houdini for water sim. I talked about it in one clip I did about Flexseal. Even Flip Fluid addon is not as good.
We’re going to comp in Nuke.

👍👍
IMO this is great news !! carry on and make it happened, what we see is so promising
8:48 product placement? In such project? Really?
Give me 200k to compensate and I’ll get ride of it. ;-)
What's wrong with it??
