#Blender #DECODED #B3d
Got an idea for a video you'd like to see? Let me know here!
Black Adam ressurection scene fight
Please do a Harry Potter one
How about something with pirates or a lost pirate ship in the fog or something
Back to the future - clock tower scene
How about recreating the Flo Mo on the roof scene in the Matrix? I tried tracking the original green screen footage but couldn't get it to work properly. It would be interesting to see what could be done using blender instead of setting up an expensive camera rig like they did originally.
The shot of the spine passing into view in front of the boat is SUPER NICE. The model had me skeptical that it would look good, but it looks much better/cooler/scarier in the dark lighting, with atmosphere. Especially poking out of the water. My favorite scene however, is actually when the monster is standing up out of the ocean. The way he's almost 100% silhouette, contrasting with the sparkles made by the water reflecting light off of him here and there is so epic. It's the sparkles for me, man.
Thank you. Cinematography and composition has been a big focus for me over the last year. My general workflow is to build the shot around a single key frame, ignoring the animation entirely at first. So I'll basically design the composition like it's a still render. I try to make the shot as "readable" as possible just from one still image. Once you've got that working, I tend to find it's fairly simple to turn that into an effective animation.
In this case, the water and dark sky made it fairly hard to tell what was going on. So I added a ridiculously powerful light just behind where the monster emerges, just to give him a really strong silhouette.
When in doubt, hide as much as you can.
@@DECODEDVFXdoes this still work on a phone
"The monster". You mean Godzilla?
I really like this! Things that caught my eye: The lights on the boat look strange, maybe they're just too big or too bright. On the radar, remove the detail in the outline of Godzilla so they can't tell what it is. It's more suspenseful/ominous that way because it was sort of comical to see his little arms show up on the radar. When he steps on the van, some parts should fall off so it doesn't look like a toy. I think you nailed the rest - nice job :)
Thank you. The stuff you mention (and several other things) are in my revision notes but I ran out of time to fix and render them all.
@@DECODEDVFX The other thing i wanted to see (other than the rest of your full movie, haha) was in the final roar an actual atomic breath blowing away the helicopter!🦖
@@hakulus3037 I really liked that shot, the animation turned out well.
@@hakulus3037 That's just ridiculous.
Bruh godzilla doesnt have small arms
80 hours well spent ! Really good work mate
Glad you enjoyed it
that roar on legendary Godzilla is so cursed but cool
Rude
@@rochellechaney6811🤓
@@rochellechaney6811 He is just saying that the roar is a bit cursed for him, Whats wrong with that?
Brilliant! Opening shot, my favourite! Comping these with real life footages would have taken it to next level. Well Done!
This looks amazing for a week's worth of work! You should also do another video on how you could improve/remaster your previous work with better textures and lighting. Would really be interesting how you could go about that!
Water in Blender… I applaud this effort for that alone! That takes some special tolerance for Hell haha!
Yeah, I actually tried using the flip fluid addon at first, and surprisingly Blender's own system did a better job for once (but it was definitely slower to calculate).
@@DECODEDVFX Interesting. I’m spoiled by Houdini lol.
Impressive :) you really managed to set a mood with those shots.
Congrats on the result and sticking with your time limit. Making shorts like these as personal projects seem to be an exercise in descision making on methods , detail and where to spend your time budget . Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Laura! Exactly. My usual workflow is to make shots "good enough" then come back and fix them if I have time.
btw, I think your reel was recommended in my youtube feed yesterday. Nce work!
The work you did is amazing, and will improve you a lot for the next project you undertake.
the beginning.water & end green glowing scenes are my favorite...and they are really good...
cool you share your flow....thx
Awesome job on this, dude! This is a great Blender breakdown, but I'd just like to call out how great the sound design is on this short. Sound design is the most important aspect when creating a mood for your scene, and you crushed it. Can't wait for the next one! Maybe Back to the Future???
Thanks! I normally use a music score for the music but I decided to try something more atmospheric here. The radar ping was supposed to set the tempo of the animation and sorta foreshadow the stomping of his footsteps.
Getting good sound clips can be a struggle though.
@@DECODEDVFX Used soundly! its free and amazing
great for the timeframe.....you master it...
congratulations..
fire & fodsteps...are a little bit odd and some aditionsoundsscapes habour and City....
.and the animation could be a little longer in some scenes..
That would be a very passable game cutscene from 2000's. Amazing you can create that by yourself in 1 week. Good job!
Wonderful work and really informative and enjoyable process.
a pleasure to watch, its interesting this format that explains everything and then shows the results just at the very end
Incredible design!!😨 it’s so great to have these tools outsourced to everyone! I’m very proud of your Godzilla scenes🏆🏆🏆
Thank you!
This is awesome, being a Godzilla fan and an absolute idiot at Blender ( i cant even get to delete the default cube) it is amazing to see how you pulled this off! Blender can be such a great tool if you know how to use it
That lamp in the room should have shook right off that table tbh lol
Loved the first half! The second half felt more like a well done previs shot
In the first half you could feel Godzilla’s massive scale. In the second half he felt extremely light.
This turned out amazing, Rob!
Thanks buddy!
Awesome job! Thanks for the breakdown.
Hey This is super cool! Love the overall concept!
That is very good for a weeks worth of work! :D Well done!
Very inspiring! Awesome work. How about making a challenge for the community to improve on the audio and post processing? Better audio would make this so much better.
Wow… this shows godzilla more than the godzilla 2014 movie
Wow! Awesome work man! 👍👍
This is pure cinema great job on the animation
Godzilla's most chill stroll through the city.
Amazing job with this one!
Thanks a lot!
I like this and for the time it took this is a masterpiece! To make it better I would only completely remake the boat interior scene and call the entire thing "quietzilla" because it amused me a lot that he was almost like not trying to wake people up.
this is brillinat.. no words.. amazing work man
Thank you. It means a lot.
Great job overall! While there were many small things that could be improved throughout it, the biggest things that pulled me out of it were the walking scene in the city featuring his feet and the final roar. With the feet, it would have taken a lot longer to make it look right, but shattering the concrete and having it sink in a bit would have gone a long way to helping make his weight believable. For the final roar, it was a little too quick so, again, made him feel smaller, which felt weird with the helicopter which provided scale, but highlighted this issue even more unfortunately. I love that you make these short scenes! I hope to make my own very soon! My hardware isn’t quite as good as yours so I may have to do more work on the compositing end to make it all come together 🙂
Also his breath was green for some reason it should be blue
The animation was really great! Some things you should add if you want to in the future are: Everything shaking when Godzilla steps, Make the steps louder, and maybe make Godzilla's dorsal plates glow pulsating.
just Wowwwwww..that was so realistic render bro...well done! Sony should hire you
Great work! Don't be afraid to add reverb to your foot stomps and growling to make audio transitions a bit much smoother. Keep it up!
Dude that shot of Godzilla rising up from the water at 15:40 was terrifying, straight up gave me the heebie jeebies when i saw it the first time. this is AWESOME!
Dude this is a very
nice animation!
Thanks!
Very Good Work Respect👍
WOW! Awesome work! :)
so impressive. well done dude.
Thanks a lot!
Well done, and in a week, wow. great job, keep you videos coming I really enjoyed it...
Good sound effects, too. 🐉👍
Woah this is amazing
This is awesome i love it
Fantastic, amazing job!
Thanks!
Great work! It looks like a really cool Godzilla game could be...
this was awesome! ty
You did absolutely fantastic, outstanding work! I like it a lot! Ya really need a shutout from CZcams or something cause this is just amazing!
If I had a complain it would be the kaiju's movement is a lil faster then useal, lacks the lumbering aspect when it walks, otherwise everything else is spot on!
Keep up the amazing work Hope ya get more attention!
Fantastic final short and brilliant and clear process video, even for a noob like me! I'm inspired to start my Blender journey and will keep checking out your videos for inspiration, so thanks! Oh and how about a Jaws /Deep Blue Sea inspired video for the future?
Great to hear!
Really amazing. Maybe a camera shake and a little bit of ground pound noise. When he steps on that van would've made it more believable in that part. You had the shaking and the ground sound in the previous walking shot. So that would have made that van stamp way more realistic I think. But With the time you spent it turned out pretty amazing.
looks soo good
Amazing work, the Godzilla fans will love this and now the latest movie trailer for Godzilla Minus One has just been released, your tutorial should attract more views.
Been binging these videos now, amazing work.
One thing that I'd recommend in the final video tho: Add ambient sounds. Godzilla trampling the city and there are no sirens or car alarms, no traffic, no background hum of a city? It would add so much in between the silence of the main sounds. Both in the apartment and in the street those would really elevate the already stunning renders.
Thank you. The sound effects were done in about ten minutes. A lot of them were added as placeholders while I worked. Unfortunately I didn't have much time to improve them.
I experimented with adding some dogs barking, car alarms etc. It didn't sound right and I ran out of time to make it work.
That was great! Especially when you put it in the context that you did this by yourself and within 80hrs. Compared to say an actual Godzilla movie that would have taken hundreds of animators and a couple years of time.
For the rugs instead of adding loop cuts and trimming, you can double tap G and slide the edge and it does the same thing.
Excellent, thanks!
Inspiring as usual
What is so impressive, this is REALLY GOOD for just ONE GUY working on this project! Well done! I've seen some comments where ppl are nitpicking stuff, but come on.. its ONE GUY STUDIO doing this lol!
Thanks
WOW amazing modelling
Great work
Very nice! ❤
Inside the flat shot (which is my fav) if you animated the lamp shade and the 2 framed pictures falling over or showing movement from the stomping, it would of given more life to the scene. All other shots were too dark, i'm guessing the hide as much as possible xD.
Great stuff none the less!
Keep Cool!
You forgot the camera shake when Godzilla steps on the car!!! Really great animation though
Wow! Amazing... I mean, there are lot of work there to achieve more realism, but 80 hours? Come on! That's insane... Awesome work!
Thanks Olivier. Appropriate it.
godzilla lowkey chill and on his midnight stroll
amazing work!
This is totally next level , Keep it up .....
👋
this is so amazing for such a short time
Love this soooooo amazing work
Great work especially for 80 hours of work, bravo
Nice. Already way better than 90% of what I see on scify channel!!! ;-)
how did i just google this and find a video uploaded yesterday for this. been struggling trying to get some nice realism, and this has given me a couple ideas...
thankyou for your sharing
!
love it alittle too much. subscribed :P
Amazing!
Amazing 👏
Looks really good for being made in a single week.
Wow! Amazing! Subscribed, this helped me out so much! Could you please upload your Godzilla model somewhere so that we can use it? (Not the one from sketchfab, your improved one) I would really appreciate it!
You are so inspiring!
Thank you so much!
First of all I love your work it is honestly pretty inspiriting to see and looks incredible with all the amount of detail art and animation in only a short period. I would love if you could make an HD Remaster of a cutscene from a game called Hulk Ultimate Destruction, the is between Hulk and Devil Hulk in the mindscape of Bruce Banner; basically the fight between the two and defeat of Devil Hulk at the end where he fades away, I imagine it being around 5 or 6 minutes or so considering the cutscenes are usually 1 or 2 minutes long. Again love your work, keep it up
I love every bit of detail you did here! However my only issue with this is that you used (what I assume to be) a Showa era Godzilla roar despite using the American Legendary/Titanus Godzilla model.
Cool movie man😊
Amazing job!
Thank you!
well done
this is insanly cool omg
Thanks!
GREAT results
Super sick! love the workflow. I think the shot of him stepping on the van is too long and the camera feels very CG - if you had shot it as if form someone's cell phone it could have really sold it more! incredible work. hope i can get this good and fast someday!!
another epic video!!
Cheers!
Looks awesome!
One quick trick I think would work here, would be to maybe add some cloth physics to some key parts in the Godzilla mesh (with vertex paint).
It creates a bit more "smushy" skin when animating.
If I had more time I would have.
If you had lengthened the time to a month, it would've been interesting to see your own original take on Godzilla's model for the movie, considering how Godzilla movies pretty much all have a different version for Godzilla
how about you make a movie from scratch?
Womp womp

Amazing

amazing
That 4090 went to work on this! This is really good. I particularly like the apartment scene 👍
Thanks. The apartment shot came together really quickly. I almost didn't bother with it because I was worried it would slow the pace of the animation, but I think it worked pretty well in the end.
And yes, the 4090 is a workhorse.
It would be NOTHING without the hula girl. Brilliant!
