Based on the way he talks, I presume he hasn't had much social interaction outside of the internet. That's not anything bad, but his voice sounds like it's quavering and he's ready to breakdown into tears or somethin
Hello from France ! 1) The ambient music is perfect! you couldn't have chosen better 2) The sound of your voice fits perfectly 3) It's super interesting to see your evolution over time All the best !
the constraint rules =) offset is dreaming in the Z translate. Unbelivable to saw young people like you playing with CGI ^^. Keep going in VFX. try to improve your realistic and pro aspect with good reference.
I love this though ahaha just parent the damn thing! I too animated objects then found they weren't moving the same because they all had different bezier curves
I love the underwater sound design A+ on that... The crowd simulations, body doubles and tracking shots also look great... Good progress with modelling and animation. Looking forward to you future updates on your progress... Well done... 🔮😊
probably my words would be lost in this thousands of other comments , but What i want to say is thank you for sharing this with us it inspired me to work harder on my 3d work and i am so so soo proud of what you have achieved in this years . Good Job men amazing work and i hope to see more of your work in the future
Huge leap in quality in 2019. It's really interesting to see someone else progress. There's so much complexity in your later stuff. I wish I had your level of output. I'm too much of a stickler for details to get the sort of big projects you work on done. Always end up creating really simple objects myself and by the time I'm really stuck in I land a crappy admin job that takes up all my day. I love the tripod robot at 9:54. I need somebody to give me a good reason to make something like that.
There have definitely been stretches where I didn't make anything for months and felt pretty crappy about it. I guess in the end, as long as I'm making something even if it's garbage I enjoy the process. :)
Wow! This really got me inspired to continue with my architecture rendering process. I really admire the consistency of the work throughout. Thank you for sharing!
your works are inspiring, you created what your mind says, most of us seek high end tutorials and endup knowing nothing....But you trained yourself with what you already knew, and you heard only your mind and creativity.....that itself is a great teaching to us.....
I'm very new to all this and I'm still a little nervous about everything. But I gotta say, seeing the amazing things people like you can do in blender is intoxicating. I guess my worries are that I'll maybe never reach that point of God tier like you, but maybe one day.
Hey Ryan! I don't know, but it might be encouraging to hear; I was super unfocused in my learning process. I took a long time to learn a bunch of different areas of blender. If you know more specifically what you want to learn, then you can get better at it a lot faster. :)
This is nice to see. I've seen some "see my transition from beginner to Pro in one year" kinda videos and it's quite annoying coz they are very misleading. This is honest and it shows that being good at CG takes time and requires patience. Thanks for sharing.
man! nice stuff! keep up the great work. And I like the narrative style in which you made this docu/vlog. One piece of advice from a 25 year experience 3D artist: Pay for dropbox and put everything there! 10 years ago somebody entered my house and stole my pc, laptop and harddisks... I lost all work made before that... Wish I could do a video like yours, but a lot of my old stuff is gone!
That's so inspiring, I love it! It conveys the point that you don't have to be perfect from the start to me which I'm really struggling with. Thanks for sharing!
I love your 2019 pictures, the one at 9:53 is one of the best robot designs I've ever seen! And some of the other pics remind me of old sci-fi book covers 😃
@@IanLetarte Oh right, the one with the knight! I had my browser window quite small and I didn't even notice that lol! 😋I thought it was like a War of the Worlds type robot, it's really eerie I love it 😊
Amazing work Ian! It's a little bit rare but always good to find a Bionicle fan around here. I remember watching lots and lots of their CGI short movies repeatedly when younger. Wish you the best, keep rocking with those Toa models!
Thanks Eduardo! Indeed, it's good to meet another fan. :) The CGI shorts ended up being extremely inspirational for me. Especially this one: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mE_uox5w4VU.html
@@IanLetarte Now I noticed them lol, I honestly didn't even notice because I was focused more on what you were trying to do. Either way the focus of that clip is what matters and I still think you did a pretty good job bro
Damn, I love your work! I tried out a friend's version of C4D back in 2008, he put it on my flash drive and installed it when I got home. Literally I could not even learn how to manipulate the cube and gave up after an hour of confusion. I did get Blender afterwards, I think it was version 2.4 something and, man, I really feel dumb now because I gave up moments after trying it out. Fast forward to last year, I got version 2.79 and found it super easy to navigate aside from right-clicking as selecting.. but regardless I only made the donut and an ammo box, then some assets like weapons and blocks for a couple games like 7 Days to Die and Skyrim. I still never got into animating anything, but that's literally as far as I got because of work. Your stuff really inspires me to get back at it because damn, your stuff from even 2012 is miles ahead of where I am currently. And your most recent work from 2019 is incredible! Keep it up!
@@IanLetarte Thanks! I've been trying to but it's difficult when I work so much. I do take every chance I get in the morning before work and before bed to juggle with mechanics here and there. Still a lot to learn
This might sound kind of tacky, but as I'm watching this, I'm kind of looking at you as something I could have been. Marvel was just kicking off when I was in middle school, and after watching the original Iron Man 1 and 2, I was really super inspired into learning how to do visual effects. I recorded myself doing silly acts all by myself and would bring them into Adobe After Effects and edit them so that they would look like if I was swinging around a lightsaber or shooting ki blasts like in Dragon Ball. That was all 2D animation that I picked up from just playing around with the software and watching tutorials on RU-vid, but then I found out about Blender and was super surprised you could do all of this for free and I was really hyped up about wanting to learn. Unfortunately, I was transitioning into high school at around that time, and actually joined a school club that had me stay after school and volunteer in weekends, so I just lost time more and more every day until I eventually had to abandon Visual Effects altogether. Honestly, my last, last project was the very picture I'm using as my profile picture, which honestly only took be about 5 minutes to make because I was so well versed in After Effects at the time, but like I said, I made that when I was 14, 10 years ago. I've been trying to get back into Blender, especially with all these big 2.8 updates, but I'd essentially be starting from scratch. I'm pretty well versed in Fusion 360, which is another 3D design software, but its more used for making mechanical things that one would 3D print. It serves an entirely different purpose than Blender, but I'd be at least somewhat familiar in modeling. Don't give up on your projects. Keep advancing. Keep innovating. Be glad that you know this craft.
I really appreciate this heartfelt comment Luciano. You are massively encouraging. While the teen years are really important, I think sometimes too much emphasis is placed on them. Just because you didn't learn something ten years ago doesn't mean you can't now. I wish you the best of luck in your blender adventures. :)
I wish those that talk shit about CGI in film would watch stuff like this to REALLY see how much hard work & dedication it takes. I've been drawing/modeling/concepting for almost 10 YEARS now (on and off) and its only been in recent times, like the last 1-2 years, that I've really been able to produce nice stuff & feel confident or feel that creative freedom but I'm STILL not where I want to be. The bridge to concept art is VERY long, you go from thinking you can draw/model anything to thinking.....damn, its really hard to create something original. But like with anything else, you learn strategies & techniques, you find what works for you & create some of your own approaches, etc. For some reason there's this notion out there that CGI doesnt involve any skill, that the directors just click a button that says "Ferrari" and BAM they get a Ferrari that they can crash & do whatever they want with. But somebody at some point had to MODEL that Ferrari, there's no way around it, its not some formulas automating everything, CGI is TRULY an art form in its own right. When they send that Ferrari flying down the highway blending its animation sequence with live action shots, masking & editing it just right, rotoscoping & camera tracking, all of that stuff involve not only a finesse & artists touch, but they also take a LOT of time to do! Some 3D artists will work 14 hour days sometimes longer just meet deadlines & thats just ONE digital artist! Anyway, great progression video man, keep it up.
Yeah, VFX is a grind. Especially in production environments from what I understand. Plus there are SO many shots where you know your doing it right if nobody notices that it's a vfx shot. I appreciate your kind words. :)
Love these vids where people show off their progress in long term. I'm studying somewhat a year or so, not much achieved if you compare how far people can go studying say programming when they go for money and can show off in very short time. In contrast your ideas of dream projects take years to complete and you often feel bad of yourself because of it. When you look how much time it takes for other people to become good in 3D it kinda feels better, start to realize it's not you the problem, it just come in waves and you need to learn how to catch them. Can take months to ride one, then nothing, then another wave. Nice vid, good taste in music. Cheers.
Amazing Your persistence in progress and improvement is really inspiring :)

Wow. Just wow. Your progress is insane. Even in the 2015 section, I was impressed with what you could do. Specifically at 5:30 . Your tracking seemed to excel from then on. Wish I had this talent. Great job dude. :)
Yeah, I think Christopher Paolini was inspired by JRR Tolkien's(Lord of the rings) drawings and writings. I can see the influence in Christopher's books. :)
