Nick Brunner is working on a short nature film. The trailer looks awesome!

Nick writes:

This is a shot from my upcoming short film called "The Great Outdoors". It is a nature film and its is coming this summer 2014! I have learned this past year a lot about nature and how to create it in Blender, and now I want to share with you, through video, what I have learned in the past year. You can watch the official trailer below.

I have also shared what I have learned in an eBook that I recently wrote called "Discovering Nature" which teaches you how to create realistic nature in Blender easily! So if you want to learn how to create nature then check out the book here. (Sorry if the webpage is slow, but it will come up)

Thank you, and have an awesome day!

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 Head of Community at Sketchfab.

  1. No offense but it just looks like you followed some tutorials from the Nature Academy by Andrew Price. And now you want to sell an ebook based off his work.

  2. All nicely done, :) but I would be careful, that Music sounds a LOT like Disney's Finding Nemo (my 3 year old son pointed that out lol) Disney are not known for thier lax copy-write laws ;)

      Yeah, I just did that as a fan thing, I guess I should have given some credit to them and added in a credit section :)

      • Yeah! I can believe that!

        But it's so suspicious! Don't get me wrong, please!

        You should get a different video, a different "vibe", if you understand
        me. The nature academy was a great thing in blender community and many
        people could point that your work is very similar. And it is.
        That slow motion shots with that kind of music..

          Yeah, I get that, but everyone needs to know that I didn't join the academy. And yeah I probably should've used some different shots, but I take some pride in the fact that I learned how to create nature by myself and that an eBook of what I taught myself is out now... but I do understand where you guys are coming from and I do appreciate the feedback :)

          Okay, this really, really needs to be asked: just how exactly do you make an Ocean not similar to another Ocean? Hey, that earth looks like his earth, that sky looks similar to his sky, that giant thicket of trees looks like any other giant thicket of trees... sooner or later it's like trying to slap a patent on a dang watermelon.
