I have a LONG history with Blender - I wrote some of the earliest Blender tutorials, worked for Not a Number and helped run the crowdfunding campaign that open sourced Blender (the first one on the internet!). I founded BlenderNation in 2006 and have been editing it every single day since then ;-) I also run the Blender Artists forum and I'm Community Lead at n8n.
Another way is via a halo material. Best done by creating a second object for the halo, with only a small number of vertices, and position it inside or behind your “sun” object, because each vertex will generate its own flare.
Very nice work, but it starts on something weird : the bells have no hammer, and they should be tightly fixed to the arc of wood, that should move on fulcrums. As shown, there is nothing wisible explaining how the bells could move and chime !
They are chiming from speakers, inside the tower, due to technological advances. The bells are only for esthetical reasons, as happen in all the churches today. :D (just joking!)
Really great work!
As said: i notice a little lack of texturing in the city part. And in my opinion the transition it’s a bit distracting. (i mean, blur+add+dissolve… i prefer only dissolve or just a plain cut)
Nice work all-in-all. Well done. Few small things, but nothing that show stopping. I think for me it was the large rocks. They look place. Just .. set down recently. There is no weight to them or age. Of course, that’s my opinion. When I have something as awesome as this to show, maybe I can come back with some critique :)
I was being partially sarcastic.
Price might not have made anything here, but the clip’s contents looks considerably influenced by him. I’m talking post-pro, models, and even the styles.
I think the music is actually Andean (beautiful by the way), maybe peruvian?
Just search for Atacama, or desert in Peru, Bolivia, Chile or Argentina and you will see that South American deserts will change your concept of desert.
I know about the Atacama. But large areas of that have not even scrub brush growing—just bare rock. It’s so dry there are not even bacteria in the soil.
All in all, nice work. My only remark is that photorealistic sequences (e.g. the belltower, the desert panorama) are mixed with others of different style (e.g. the red flower, the village street at the end).
Thanks for the comments always help to improve, I am beginner in blender and I like the trailers from the academy of nature is why he has a style similar but not so good, the music is of Savia Andina a band playing folk music of Bolivia
Hi,
Although I can’t say that I could do better, I agree that this reminds me a lot about Nature Academy, in which I participate too. That doesn’t need to be bad right now, but you (Jorge) should keep on improving perhaps not this time on the technical side (you grasp the tool already) but the more “stylish” or “attention to detail” thing.
Your images look a bit “bare” (mines look too very often), without soul in some manner. This for the “style” part. For the “attention to detail”, there are issues related to 3D “mastery” that probably no Andrew Price will told you about, say beveling the corners and probably many other issues I should learn too.
I say this with a bit of irony but not take it bad, please. I say this because, although I use and admire the work of Andrew Price and other videotutos “makers”, I have the impression that videotutorials seems some times to be taken for the newest and definitive thing in “solving the artist’s problem”.
This is for me a wrong approach, but getting myself aside that is not an easy task either for me. I tend too to think that this new resource or feature or whatever will lead me to do “this thing” or “that other”. But the truth for me is that this is simply a shield to put against my feeling that I don’t work hard enough. I fear to be a “junkie” of tutorials in aiming to do “better things” but actually do nothing besides “being prepared for”. As often said, good ideas, visualizations and approaches could be done without much knowledge and simple tools, but average ideas, visualizations, and approaches result in… so, average results, even with the latest and finest tools.
So, being constructive about your present work, I suggest you, for example (among one thousand of other possible suggestions…) to put a foot on the photography field (doing work or analyzing other’s work), and realize how some areas in a picture keep underexposed, or burnt, or blurred, and how this is strongly related to the “story” behind an image. Digital Lighting & Rendering from Jeremy Birn is a good book to read, too.
Congratulations at least for the work done :) !

Cool Stuff :)
Could use some more texturing work in some areas, but I like the camera movement and wind effects on the grass :)
Great! Could you show, how you made the lensflare-effect?
go to compositor: add filter – glare – change it to streaks or ghosts .
Another way is via a halo material. Best done by creating a second object for the halo, with only a small number of vertices, and position it inside or behind your “sun” object, because each vertex will generate its own flare.
Thanks for your answers, but my problem is, that the glare-filter always creates a sun-flare, which is positioned in the center of my picture.
impressive work!
Very nice work, but it starts on something weird : the bells have no hammer, and they should be tightly fixed to the arc of wood, that should move on fulcrums. As shown, there is nothing wisible explaining how the bells could move and chime !

Excellent work,I love the fact that it is not “cartoonish” ,you really know how to create convincingly looking worlds! Peter
Great video, but the music is CC?
How did you get sync rights? Was it easy?
The easiest way I know is to use Jamendo Licensing or use some other open sourced music or sounds.

I’m asking because I was reading this, Slashdot: YouTube Identifies Birdsong As Copyrighted Music by timothy on Sunday February 26, @04:43PM.

come one, you can do better?1
(Nothing personal)
So is this the new Blenderguru NatureFactory Trailer? *rolls eyes*
I don’t think so, AP did not appear to be involved with this one.
I was being partially sarcastic.
Price might not have made anything here, but the clip’s contents looks considerably influenced by him. I’m talking post-pro, models, and even the styles.
Yeah, the old “including tutorials in a demo reel” trick.
I once made something that had no influences. People asked me what the heck it was supposed to be.
Music sounds vaguely Andean, yet there are no deserts like that anywhere in South America … are there?
I think the music is actually Andean (beautiful by the way), maybe peruvian?
Just search for Atacama, or desert in Peru, Bolivia, Chile or Argentina and you will see that South American deserts will change your concept of desert.

the video made all with Blender .. fantastic .. I want to learn this
The whole video is made in blender and you can find tutorials blenderguru.com
