The Hardest VFX Shot I've Ever Done In Blender... 

Alfie calling a shot in blender 'the hardest he's ever done' is the equivalent to Jeremy Clarkson's "Think, Jeremy, think."

Trust you to go above and beyond with your work, hahaha. The breakdown is brilliant!

I was having a bad day, I got your notifications and it made me smile:)

What threw me off is the fact that despite the slow motion effect, the sniper rifle begins to turn away immediately after the shot is fired. Given the speed at which the bullet travels, it is unlikely that the weapon will turn by any significant amount in that timeframe. Nevertheless, you did a great job!

gave me that whole Wanted movie feels, awesome work!

Wow 😳 really impressive as a fellow VFX artist ur character was uncanny didn’t notice it till u showed us how u made it.

Haha just seen this! Cheers for the shout-out man 👍

Looks amazing, thanks for the breakdown.

KEEP PUSHING !!

Very nice work! Thanks for sharing.

WOW! that turned out fantastic. Blockbuster level! Well done!

That’s hard working 👍

Nice work as usual!

Not sure if you are interested in criticism, but as a VFX artist myself I see a few issues that would have been simple to fix. The most glaring issue is that the gun gets pulled away before the bullet should have left it. Recoil always comes after a bullet is fired, not at the same time. You can even see the animation for the bullet moving forward speeds up after the gun is long gone which seems like a lazy mistake. It seems like the sim wasn't even re-baked because the flames conform around an invisible barrel at one point. Also even though it is dark the low poly nature of the gun barrel is a dead giveaway that it is CG. A simple bevel on the front of the barrel would have been a quick fix for this.

Great work!

Hmm, its midnight and i just see yout video, in a second i did think I should sleep but hand and my eyes don't let me do that 😅😅, very interesting video as usual

just discovered your channel your pretty awesome ngl 😄

Excellent!!!

nuke seems intimidating tbh!

❤️❤️❤️

Didnt know you worked at the mill. Thats insane bro

Thank you Alfie. I'm in the middle of making assets for a short 15 second animation. Decided to take a break and take a look at what you've been doing. These are some very useful tips and tricks for me, the node stuff is still a bit out of my grasp but its useful information. By the way could you give me some ideas. I'm planning to make an animation focusing on a pen and I was wondering what type of video it should be? Cinematic or something like one of those "How It's Made" episodes? Any suggestions

huge work. our next ian hubert :_)

great job! if it possible to add slight axial rotation to bullet? but it is not nesessary.

The only thing that's bugging me is how can he move so fast when the bullet didn't even leave the muzzle flash yet :(

You should use blender 3.0 with cycles X as it is a lot faster. 👍🏻

How did you learn Blender and Nuke??

Its all in blender or no?

Did you work with Hugo Guerra?
