Blender WW2 Naval Invasion Animation + Breakdown 

yea, I was thinking about that as well. You can find videos of these ship wakes from further away, but then you cant really get close to it, or it wont hold up. So you somehow need to mix some for closeups, while still being able to go far away. Also, there are not to many good videos of these ship wakes. Most of the time the ship moves out of frame quite early, or the camera moves to much, that even with stabilizing the shot, you'll get a lot of motion blur.

Thank you

it's actually just a video, projected onto the waves. I was thinking on doing a videos about that at some point

@@mlt-studios Clever! I'd certainly like to see that.

@@contactmojo2413 I just followed this tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwJrb3vjAaA.html

Yes, I rendered it myself . Took about 36h of render time with just 200 samples. As you can see, there is a lot of flickering due to the denoiser. But I did not want to increase the render time even more. I have a GTX 1070

Haha, that is intentional. A lot of the boat details does not really make sense. I did model it specific for this shot, and did just make it work for that. You could probably spot a lack of details without the motion blur

I rendered it over multiple nights, since I can’t use my computer while it renders. And yea, I manually set the samples to 200

​@@mlt-studios Thank you very much, you helped me a lot! I love ships and I'm learning Blender to use in enviroments concept arts, your art is beautiful.

I followed this tutorial from Dylan Neill for the Ocean: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwJrb3vjAaA.html What makes it look nice is the image it is reflecting. Its just an image on a plane, with an emission shader, placed in the background

@@mlt-studios thanks a lot mate helped alot ❤

Yes 🙃 To be honest, I don’t know. Very big But it isn’t really that important, as long it is not way to small. At some point you can’t see the difference between 8km and 100km

@@mlt-studios Haha yes, that's exactly why I was curious. You picked a great scale. Well done. If you ever remember what it was please let me know. Also was it an ocean modifier or material to make the ocean? Sorry for all the questions, currently in work on a similar project and always looking for ways to improve my ocean workflow

@@maxbloom6670 I used this tutorial to create the ocean. There you can also find the scale I used. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwJrb3vjAaA.html

It’s just an image plane of a sky with an emission shader

I did not use any HDRI map. Do you mean the sky?

@@mlt-studios yes, what did you use? it’s very good looking

@@saberpotatoboy4151 it is just a jpg of a sky on a plane, which I placed way in the background. I also added the same image to an emission shader on a sphere, which I made really big, to fit the whole scene. I had to bring up the strength to 5, so that it emits enough light to basically function as an hdri. For that you can also use a real hdri, but I did not find a good one, that had a similar style

@@mlt-studios that’s awesome! if i could ask, how did you search for the sky, because i’ve done that before, but i can’t find anything good.

@@saberpotatoboy4151 On pixabay I looked for something like “clouds”, “dramatic clouds” or similar

It’s just a video projected onto the waves and used as a mask

I've made a dedicated tutorial on my channel. Just look for Ship wake

It’s actually not too bad

I just followed this tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CwJrb3vjAaA.html

Yes, I rendered it on my PC. I have a gtx 1070 and 48 gb of RAM

@@mlt-studios how to much time does it take to render??

@@psddeveloper It did take about 48 hours to render, which I did over multiple nights

@@mlt-studios 👍👍

I think the important thing here is my graphics card. I have a gtx 1070
