    The animation looked great but I think the smoke and flame spurted out too fast giving the rocket a feel that it was smaller than it was in real life. Also, the gantries swung back a bit too fast also making the rocket feel smaller. Other than that it looked great. I'm looking forward to seeing the competition entries!

      Thanks. Originally I spent all night baking out a massive 750 resolution simulation, but blender decided to override that at the last minute before rendering. So I had to quickly re-simulate all the smoke at 200 resolution, which doesn't look nearly as good, but I couldn't spent another day just baking a simulation.
      Note to self for the future - make a backup of simulation caches.

  • @2teepeepictures382
    @2teepeepictures382 Před rokem

    I was kind of wondering at the smoke resolution. I’m glad you clarified that one in the video. I don’t think it would have been as noticeable if it had not been the first shot.
    I think I would have put a couple of 2-D images of high detailed smoke over top of The video with a “color dodge” blending setting set at 50% opacity. Then had the image warp slightly for a split second before blotting everything out with a bright light layered on top. Of course pointing out that there’s a way to improve the shot, whether it be before the render or after’ kind of goes against the spirit of A timed challenge. I’m sure that you can think of hundreds of different ways you could make it look better. also I use A cell phone so any jury rigged embellishment that I come up with probably would not hold up to what a graphics card like yours can do.

    • @DECODEDVFX
      @DECODEDVFX  Před rokem +1

      Yeah, that would probably be a good workaround. I always make revision notes as I work, and fixing the smoke was quite far down the list compared to some far more glaring issues. If I had a bit more time, that's probably what I would've done.

    How long did the rendering take overall ? I'm always a bit annoyed with cycles animations because it takes so god damn long compared to UE5 for example.

    • @DECODEDVFX
      @DECODEDVFX  Před rokem +1

      About 12 hours. Well, it was more in reality because I had to re-render some shots, and blender crashed during a long render.
      Volumetrics are slow, there's no way around it.

    • @DECODEDVFX
      @DECODEDVFX  Před rokem

      Removing all the floors from the scene only knocks about 1.5 seconds off the render time per frame. If I had lots of objects in the scene then I would have optimized more, but it wasn't necessary in this case.

    Thanks for coming clean man . The truth is finally coming out. CGI was actually far more capable back then ,but was kept top secret. Area 51 is a actually a huge render farm. Government had Rtx series equivalent graphics cards back in the 1960s . Who knew blender was developed by NASA though?
