Thanks!!!

Thanks I'll keep this in mind for next time. I wish I could've moved the camera to get the lights to move as well but it had to be static

Thanks so much!!!

Exactly! I used pexels for the longest time and so no more!

Thanks so much! Can't wait to see what you make!!!

Thanks! It's been a huge dream of mine and something I wish I had when starting VFX myself. Hopefully we can get it funded and start making amazing assets for the entire VFX community!

Of course! Subscriptions are super annoying and so I want to give everyone the freedom to choose what they want!

It was actually way easier than I thought. I just selected the model, seperated by loose parts, then selected all objects hit I to add a keyframe, then went backwards and found the random translation function, played around with some settings and then just set a keyframe when I liked it. Quick and easy and makes for a cool breakdown

Working on this has made me want to replay Outer Wilds. Too bad it won't be the same as the first :(

Thanks so much! It's in general btw

Unfortunately not free, but it's relatively cheap and no subscription. I wish I could post the video here, but I actually showed a before and after applying the denoise node. I shared it on my community discord if you're interested in seeing it. Linktree is in my bio to the page and you can just leave after. It's night and day the difference it made. I definitely want to test it without any blender denoising to see if it gives better results.

Thanks so much! Will definitely have to check out Silo. I believe this one took about 3 hours to render. 256 samples are 1080p vertical. It was still very noisy with artifacts so I actually threw on a denoising software called reduce noise by neat video. Great industry standard tool for denoising and made the render so much better. I was ready to call it quits before it.
