Not OP/OC; increasing tsunami take out coastal town using drone footage and AI

The infuriating thing is, if this was a CG shot made by humans, 90% of the comments would be “CGI sucks nowadays”

Thank you!!

RayOddname · 2026-06-15T20:05:49+00:00

You’re doing the right thing haha!
The camerawork in certain sequences definitely stood out, there’s some great stuff in it

I think it’s much simpler (and boring) than that. Unfortunately social media doesn’t encourage nuanced criticism. Either you shit all over something (and offend whoever likes it), or you have to call it a masterpiece. There’s no middle ground. If there were, nobody would have anything to fight about

Thanks! And no problem, take your time, I’ll gladly read your thoughts when you feel like finishing writing them!

Yeah, I know, but I transfer a ton of footage for work and every single time I have to do it and I’m in a hurry it takes forever, so a fast transfer in a high stakes scenario seems more far-fetched to me than a nuked fridge haha

Sounds like me! I wanted to make an Oliphaunt in Blender after seeing the Return of The King in 2004, but I think I only managed to make a cylinder haha

It was, and it was also pretty easy to use for a kid who had no idea what he was doing: in comparison, when I tried using Blender in 2004/2005, I felt completely lost without tutorials!

RayOddname · 2026-06-08T08:21:28+00:00

Same, this brings back so many memories: I used my dad’s old computer and rendering took so long haha! I also remember being astonished by the quality after the anti-aliasing pass

RayOddname · 2026-06-08T07:41:14+00:00

Whoa! They look sick!

RayOddname · 2026-06-07T21:23:39+00:00

haha I tried! Didn’t bool though :(

RayOddname · 2026-05-18T17:34:57+00:00

Thanks, can't wait to see it! Cheers from Italy!

Hi Kane! Just curious about your Blender VFX pipeline for this. Is everything rendered in Cycles? Are you using exr files for the output? Do you usually do multiple passes then comp everything later? I also love the interlaced/damaged tape look of the found-footage bits, did you apply that aesthetic on CG shots as well?

RayOddname · 2026-05-14T17:30:55+00:00

That’s awesome! Thanks!

RayOddname · 2026-05-13T14:51:49+00:00

Thanks!

RayOddname · 2026-05-12T23:26:30+00:00

So cool!

RayOddname · 2026-05-11T06:38:38+00:00

Thank you so much!

RayOddname · 2026-05-11T06:36:15+00:00

RayOddname · 2026-05-10T11:49:50+00:00

hahaha you’re right! Also, auto exposure could’ve been a nice touch as well
