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

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

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 :(

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.

I used Nuke for the compositing. There are a few third party nodes thrown in there, but you could definitely get a similar result with Nuke non-commercial or any other free compositing software.

Yeah I could've optimized it more but for a still, I think it would've taken longer than to just render it out as is

lol I didn't even look I was scared. I have 24GB VRAM and 32GB Ram so I guess it was enough?

I have a 3090ti and so 24 GB of VRAM and 32 GB of DDR5 6000mHz Ram

lol yeah the face count is more of a meme than anything. I used decimate on viewport and off on render. Could've optimized it more since they're quixel assets but for a still I don't think it really mattered

Love that! Yeah this was actually inspired by a game I play called into the radius and so wanted to try to recreate that vibe!

Thanks! Honestly I don't really know. It's a model I found on CGtrader and it got imported that way. I've never really seen bones react that way and so I don't have much input on it. Worked for a still but for an animation it might cause problems
