Hi all,
I’m not a professional in CG, I’m an architect and I play with Blender during my leisure time for many years, I can rarely use it in my work.
As I had some time last 5 weeks, I made this animated short film based on an old reflexion.
It’s also my first animated project, I never rigged something before, as I usually create fixed architectural rendering and illustration.All made with Blender 2.79, rendered with Cycles in 300 samples thanks to the denoiser.
I hope you’ll like it.
Sorry, but I don’t see why Blender is a problem, as an open-source software, to use it and integrate it at work …
I actually see that as an advantage.
Well, it’s not what I mean. I do agree it should be an advantage, but for many people, specially in architectural firms, “Open-source” means “free and useless in professional work”. Change takes time and there is still a long way to go…
1) not true..plenty of big arch firms work with ope nsource products
2) in the end arch firms need to produce 2D plans , they use CAD/BIM software for that, Blender can’t do that anyway (yes I am an architect)
Blender can produce 2D and 3D plans as “standards” CAD/BIM software… it only needs to be systematized (a little or sometimes a lot…)
In order to make people believe that Blender is able to make almost everything I’m always happy to show them some results and examples. At least in my domain (Archviz).
@Charles I don’t think that is a problem of time to change people mentality but a problem of show how with a happy and good attitude.
Most people doesn’t like changes, but we can do that introducing blender with a good attitude.
mate, to draw plans with Blender is awful…Blender is not made for CAD…and BIM? I work for a major BIM software producer…Blender and BIM, sorry but no way…
Well… awful was with Autocad too for decades…
I know I’m exagerating with BIM :) but there are amazing people creating addons and surprising me since I know Blender adapting it for all kind of use… maybe now, maybe soon we could use it for BIM.
thats probably because they dont know what a vertex is and think like monkeys…

Those pillows look like the ones I made in my Tutorial “How To Make a Pillow in Blender”
I’m guessing they’re not, but probably a very similar style used to make them :3
what a great short film, I sugest you give up your day job, get your priorities right, this shows a talent that should be shared.
My little board says 10/10.
MAN THIS IS AWESOME STUFF!
Ok i have some suggestions concerning camera movement and final editing which could help with the story telling, also i find too many things happening at the same time in some shots which makes it difficult to read.
Anyway i’m also an architect, i don’t know if it has anything to do but i enjoyed a lot watching it, congratulations.
300 samples???? wow!!!
Impressive amount of work, and so well done!
This is the level of Blender modeling I hope we can see more of
(as opposed to simplified toons), and I have to agree with Percy:
that you should seriously consider delegating your current
bread-and-butter activities, and show the World
what you really were born for!
Thank you very much !
Tom, Percy, I take note of your comments, maybe one day who knows…
Lynchon, it’s good to know, thank you.
Joey, yes it’s very similar to your tutorial.
Thanks to BlenderNation for publishing !
Congratulations, Charles. Really liked your short video.
Very Myst-like. I love it and wish to be able to do that !
I really enjoyed this. I am a plant enthusiast and liked the detail. Laughed out loud a the the scoring of the slow motion jump across the river. Also liked the use of reflection in the helmet and the camera movement.
I agree with BYRON KINDIG :) Very nice details and great ideas !
I hope you will make more with sci-fi themes.
I have been using Blender professionally for the last 8 years. I dumped my paid expensive apps for Blender. Show your video to your bosses. They should be able to be persuaded. Good job on the video.
