Huge props for deciding against foggy shadow cheat weather
thats such a good way of putting it
haha, its kinda considered the same in illustration too. soft shadows are "easy" compared to dynamic lighting
Or the puddle everywhere hax
Yeah!
its easy tho xD
Bravo Vince
Holy shit the camera pan at 0:14 is spot-on perfect to an 80s movie. This blew my mind. Well done!
It's the simple yet lovable jock boyfriend on his way to pick up his cheerleader girlfriend who doesn't appreciate him. Neither of them know it yet, but he's going to fall for the nerdy girl in the library. He's going to meet her while serving detention. He never actually did anything wrong to get detention though, as he was just taking the fall for a friend.
No country for old man
@@Nacho_ZZ the best 80s movie
It feels like someone is about to get rid of the body in the trunk.
@@thefearisback Definitely
The CGI itself is pretty good but the motion of the vehicle going through the terrain gives the scene a sense of it being equal parts miniature photography & stop motion animation.
strange i don't think it looks like a miniature at all
@@Hackerb0b it does
Looks like stop motion because there isn't motion blur. I feel like if there was motion blur it would be 100% convincing
@@Hackerb0b There's a video on yt which is called: "Making a hollywod car chase with rc cars", watch it and you will get what does he mean by "miniature".
@@elifresco2609 Motion blur adds so much more sense of motion that almost every "static" camera feels unnatural to see; Even on videogames it's a common mistake racing games forget to add. (You can make any car feels like its going 200mph by just setting a good motion blur; Also "unrecorded" from unreal engine shows exactly how this effect is useful even with games that are usually too casual for this effect)
Two changes that would make the greatest impact would be:
1) Shifting the center of gravity in the car forward towards the engine. Right now the car moves like a miniature because its center of gravity isn’t realistically displaced.
2) On a road like that a car should be kicking up some dust behind its wheels. There should be a lingering cloud of dust behind the vehicle. This would likely be the most impactful change of the two.
This is really impressive as it is. Good job!
The other thing is the fuzzy ray tracing is standing out and making it look like ray tracing. (Unfortunately I'm not a CGI person and don't know how to fix that.)
Don't know. For me it was only the shiny tarmac that gave it out. Why do all games and CG make roads shiny, when in reality they are matte and covered with dust?
@@volo870yea, it looks like it rained exclusively on the road right before lol
The only thing missing is some harsher, more direct sunlight. Some of the scenes are too even, but out in rural areas like this on a sunny day I would expect brighter sun and shadows.
yep. I was thinking what is wrong with the sunlight, and I realized there is not enough. everything is way too dull and even, we want some hdr
I mean, you’re approaching this criticism as if seeing it with your eyes, not through a camera lense. This look can be achieved in filmed movies through filters and lenses, as well as adjusting light curves in post-production. It all depends what look you’re going for in order to tell the story, I suppose.
If he was going for an on-film look that conveys a sense of heat and dryness, then, yeah, he could’ve upped the exposure. If he was going for captured-on-digital to convey just a leisurely drive through the plains, then I think he achieved it.
Edit: upon rewatching it, I can see some of what you’re talking about. I think the issue might be that it appears to slightly hazy and humid, which isn’t a characteristic of the dessert. That’s what’s kind of throwing it off slightly
just look at this scene
czcams.com/video/b2dewDwIQyM/video.html
first it seems like it has the same color grading and stuff, but its doesnt
if you watch closely this full cgi desert is waaay too saturated compared to its highlight compression. and it doesnt feel right. if you wanna keep the rich colors you have to let the bright sunlight to burn out some details, but in here, nothing is bright, but we have a nice, hot summerish color palette.
its a very little detail tho, but if its not perfect, everything goes strange
You're thinking of the shots in films that are always done in stark sunshine. In reality these places also have their fair share of overcast days with less sun.
For me its the motion blur that's missing, there is some but not enough
I love that half the comments are finding ways to make it more realistic. I think that's a sign you've done a good job.
Agreed
@@iraklikurashviliiyour work is so exceptional. Period. As a regular person not too into VFX I was shocked that this level of realism in CGI exists. I don’t see CG this realistic looking in most modern movies, even from the best studios with the most money and time… it tells me that the technology of today has allowed for artists like you to SHINE, for your skills to be displayed to the fullest of extents. Do you ever disclose what tools you use to make your videos?
Me too i was like wheres the cgi? Lol@@daviduribe5897
The years of practice, pain, patience, and learning behind this is worth the video
And when Sora comes... we'll all be able to do this.
@@InfinantGamers your cooked lil bro
U described exactly what I’ve been through
@@InfinantGamers but the car will be going backward and the dude will be growing an arm out of his face. plus, you think sora's going to be free? lmao it will probably be like 10 dollars per video from what ive heard the computational energy is.
@@spacekitt.n for now tho. Remember how much first phones, 3d printers cost. Now we have industrial massive 3d printrs that can print metal, and how much time have passed, like 20 years?
Honestly 0:00 0:11 0:14 0:35 0:39 and 0:52 all just feel like real life. No tops this is probably one of the most realistic animations I've ever laid my eyes on.
its a desert and a car buddy its not that crazy cgi is getting better though
real life doesnt look this visually pleasing, thats why you subconsciously can tell its fake. There have been plenty of studios that have made entire scenes that look perfectly like real life and we cant even tell.
in a few years ai can replicate something like this
Duuuuude, wild. Great job 👍
Im amazed! Good show!
It must be so annoying to do realistic renders because something looks off but it's impossible to figure out what it is.
But it's still amazing to see how far technology has come to be able to do this
Like painting, making music, or writing a poem at 3:00. Shits good and proud while doing it, thinking you cook, till you wake up and behold, a gleamy, shiny shitcake 💩 right on that work desk!
This guy most definitely rendered a dozen and a half times.
@@Home_Rich HAHAHA words have never been more true
built like a cult classic 80s film. just love it
1st interior shot and 1st tracking shot are delightfully flawless. As inserts in any movie, no one would have been able to tell. The lighting on the front window grime was S tier.
Dude, this is amazing. I can't believe how some shots can look this real. The camera movements and composition are what really ties this together
IKR!!!
The Long Drive update be looking fire
I had a pretty long drive @ the country glub yesteryear
No way, I never expected to find a fellow The Long Drive player out in the wild
if only it was
@@UOAPlays right?? first thing i thought of too when i saw this video
Ok, where’s he going though? 🤔
Amazing work, perfect.👌
try higher shutter speed. The low ss stuttering is a giveaway of cgi, but smoothing things out might make it a bit more realistic. Camera movements are already pretty much on point.
Superb work
Edit: sorry I meant LOWER speed. Things would blur a little and make it more smooth
Yeah I agree - it would really tie it together and make it more authentic
I think it's more a problem with limited motion blur, feels too small if nonexistent in some scnees, whilte it looks the best at 0:14
yeah this needs a consistent low shutter speed to display proper expected motion blur, and the realism would go up significantly. Reading up on 180 degree shutter rule has more info on this
Vravo Bince
The Salamanca Cousins hided for sure somewhere under the trees ahaha. Breaking Bad vibes, what a work! Great Job!
Jesse escaping Jack's compound:
literally the best description of this render
the shots with motion blur really sell it. surprising how much that can do for realism
shots 2, 3, 4, and 6 are perfectly real looking
Nailed the photo-realism, I'd say the only thing that takes me out of it is the FPS seems a little off here and there and small details like no dust kicked up from the tires. Super cool though and awesome work!
personally i like the fps, makes you know its not real while guessing if it was practical effects, and gives a strange quality to it that's undefinable.
Needs some nice 180degree shutter angle motion blur
Looks like something you could see in Breaking Bad 💯💯
The static shots look the most real because a real camera cannot do all those moves. Some scenes are 100% convincing, very good stuff.
Edit: Holy shit this is just my opinion. Get off my back IT LOOKS AMAZING.
agreed. keeping the perspective realistic would add a lot to the realism.
wonder if a bit of blurring around the edges would help. the foliage looks a bit too sharp and in some fast shots it looks like there's no motion blur.
Otherwise spot on! Great work!
@@alborzdesign and the road needs more sand/dust, a bit too shiny
As a filmmaker I can tell you there isn't a single camera move in here that's not possible. In fact, they are designed exactly how a film crew would accomplish them with commendable accuracy.
@@MichaelDavidWiller yes, there are such cameras but even in movies those are the scenes people would consider cgi is being used even when it isnt. I think its just a natural reflex caused when the camera is moving in a way thats distracting from whats actually being filmed.
Camera is a bit too stable in some shots too
This is almost completely spot on. The only thing that gives it away for me is the camera movement on some shots. I always find one thing that gives away CG videos is the camera movement, But even then those shots still look like GTA bumped up to max realism.
Also in the third shot the car is clearly empty, other than that, big thumbs up
@@FrostiedkdkThe depth of field effect is too strong, isn't it
It is definitely giving uncanny valley. Like I can't explain how my brain can immediately tell it's cgi, while it sits there looking real af
It's the car. It's a Caprice, but it's not.
@@kevin9c1 oh jeez you're right. How did this person give the uncanny valley effect to a car.
First I thought it's a movie scene,after I saw the title,then I realised..Awesome work dude ❤.
this is amazing, and its extremly underrated. Good job mate
Looks like Mike's off to pick up another dead drop...
This blows my mind. I didn't know that these kind of tools were available to use on a single machine (I'm assuming so). Just shows how far things have come since I was using the first IBM-XT with CGA (320x200). Hahaha!
Really great work. And that song is absolutely goated
DUUUUDE, this is fucking AMAZING! This is seriously impressive, and for your first full animation!
wow wow wow outstanding work bro. every frame is perfect.
This is amazing. My only problem is that there is no dust coming from the wheels.
To me the only thing holding it back in the uncanny valley is the lack of shiny reflections of the sun in the glass, and on the sheet metal. Alternatively the bodywork could be dusty but no dust here at all. In the desert the sun casts a harsh glow, not here
To me its the smoothness of the car's movement,im pretty sure a road like this would much bumpier
Thought this was unreal engine, never thought cinema4d is this good
Unreal engine is a game engine so it runs in realtime, cinema4d renders each frame, cinema4d has infinite more time per frame.
Because of that cinema4d will always have the opportunity to look better then unreal engine.
Most movies are 24frames per second, that is 41 milliseconds per frame. Calculations can’t take longer than that or it will stutter.
Cinema4d isn’t real time so it can take as long as it needs per frame.
This explanation is quite simplified, but I hope I explained it enough for it to make sense to you. If not feel free to ask more 😊
Thats Really interesting man. Good work. It's a little bit "off" but in a really interesting and charming way. Id love to see more.
This is too realistic to that point that it's criminal
the landscape/foliage is really beautiful. nice job!
The most real animation I’ve ever seen. If the footage quality was poor, like it had been run through VHS or something I’d think it was real
So crazy. This could be a scene mixed with a real tv show episode and I wouldn’t notice it wasn’t real footage.
I'm speechless at the realism you managed to pull off, hats off to you mate!
Last shot is amazing! Congrats
It makes me happy to see how people should use aspect ratios.
My dad had a car just like that. Amazing work.
the plants staying perfectly still is the only reason im willing to believe this was cgi
Needs film grain and a title drop and you are GOLDEN!
“That’s what a reckoning sounds like.”
Nice touch on the period-accurate New Mexico license plate, although it's worth noting that New Mexico only uses a rear plate (no front plate).
Really good CG work, in any case. The sampling grain kind of gives it away (especially on the windshield reflections) but that could be improved by simply letting the render run longer.
It’s really convincing! The only thing throwing me off is the lack of breeze in the opening shot and the lack of dust or things getting kicked around when the car is driving on the dirt
I;d watch a movie in this style. It's not photographically real, but its own uncanny-valley vibe that's really pleasing.
if someone told me 10 years ago that none of this was real I wouldn't believe them
the car's movements give it away my dude
Looks great.
dude looks amazing
No body could make me believe this was cg if the camera and car movement were a bit more focused on. It's already crazy as is. wow
waltuh (ok but seriously tho why does this look so realistic)
Amazing the opening shots are just like the old movies
Even though its really impressive and realistic whats more impressive and crazy is how our eyes and brain can spot the little details that seem off and immediately can tell when something is not actually real
Wow, that's absolute real looking...
I'd suggest using motion tracking (Like the Vive Tracker or the Oculus Touch) for the camera, so it creates realistic camera jittering.
Those still shots feel like a single photo, breaking the immersion.
Wow. This looks amazing! Kudos!
Im so glad that you used Baby Blue, truely an amazing song
This is amazing man! So much detail! Rendering, light, texturing, even movement is really well done.
Only 3 moments I could tell. Brilliant.
this is sick, looks really vintage!
oval bokeh on 4:3, interesting choice but cool render
This was great! Awesome work!
You are so talented.
Amazing work! What a great looking environment
That's AWESOME! Good job!
one of the key factors in figuring out that it's CG is, in my opinion, the impossible camera angles that could only be done through CG.
my examples: 0:30 & 0:42
incredible work this is so insane!
Only two things that give this away as CG: 1] a bit of render noise [which most non-CG folks would never even notice] and 2] the dude's cruising cross-country with Badfinger playing on the radio [or even better - an 8-track] and he's not lyin' waaayy back in the driver's seat?? Seriously!
this is beautifull. The sound effects, the composition of the shots, the cgi, everything is perfect.
Crazy good, good job mate!
Looks incredible, I believe the smooth camera shaking gives it away
This is special my friend, congrats.
Great, great work on the nuances of the moving cameras, specifically the vehicle mounted ones. The subtleties in the car's suspension were great. Kudos.
I really like this! Great work my friend!
No doubt we'll see you in the film/game industry someday. Good luck!
Insanely good, well done man!
Mind blowing.
cant tell why, but it looks like one of those 1990s stop motion animations
everything feels so small but zoomed in
It mostly looks real, and when it doesn't it looks like a model set! Pretty cool!
Almost perfect . Jaw dropping
Really amazing man😮
Good.
You made me cry this is so beautiful.
Really good environments! Animation and sound design are on point!
The body in the trunk is a nice touch.
The car does look rear heavy.
Very convincing. But I could never keep my car so clean and dust free.
Subscribed. That is impressive. I look forward to more vids.
Looks even better than reality.
Epic!
bro im gonna cry about the quality, its so fkin good!!! goodshitt! 😭😭❤️
Next lvl 🔥
0:15 this literally looks identical to real life oh my god
Wow. Great work!
OMG BRO
So amazing
God, great job!!
What a shot !!
"Wanna see my Baby Blues?"
"WHY ARE THEY SO BLUE?"
Looks awesome!
This is really good! 0:15 especially-- absolutely incredible. Like other people are saying there are INCREDIBLY tiny things that set you off as to it not being real but if you took only a few specific shots and not the full CGI combined sequences then there are isolated times where you can't tell a difference between it and reality. Huge props to you!
