‘Affliction’ Music Video (Rendered in EEVEE)
Basil Murad writes:
Hi there.
I thought I’d share this music video I completed just last week, especially with regards to it having been rendered with EEVEE.
I originally planned to render this in cycles, but since the alpha version of Blender 2.8 was starting to get somewhat stable I figured I’d go ahead and do the whole project in EEVEE instead. This allowed me to both render on my own machine rather quickly, and learn the quirks of EEVEE throughout the process. This may have been risky, especially considering that this was a client job, but it proved ultimately worthwhile.
I intend on doing more projects with EEVEE in the future, it’s a lot of fun to play with.
It looks gorgeous!
Thank you!
Great video but the host dailymotion included VERY NSFW ads at the end.
Can you find a YouTube or similar service and update the link?
Same… Thanks for the heads up. At least I could cancel quickly
No problem. Here’s the YouTube link:

The dailymotion upload is better compressed, which is why I included it at first.
I liked this video pretty much. I keep watching it again and again. For me the motorcycle guy looks like a perfect blend between Peter Quill (Guardians of the galaxy), Tron and Daft Punk. At 2:52 of the video there is this small detail in the pelvis of the female character which I think is a touch of genius.
Thanks again!
The female unleashing power…
Reminds me Akira or HellBoy. :)
Great video! Congratulations. Nice to see how the quality remains from the start to the end of the video. :)
Thanks, glad you think so!
Also how the movements match the rhythm: Superb! :)
Don’t seem to be able to reply to the ‘Akira’ comment you made so I’ll reply here.
Yes, you’re right about those influences, Hellboy not so much because the horns on the female character was something that already existed (the musicians had a character named Akuma that looks like that), but definitely Akira is a giant influence on me :)
Nice to hear that! :)
Nice work !
Thanks!
Very nice work. I like it.
I appreciate that!
where can we see more of your awesome work?
I’m most active on instagram, my username is bloodychrome
Thanks!
We need more creativity on EEVEE render. Most, including this one, looks dark, not clear and similar, headache to view.
Sorry my lack of creativity gave you a headache!
Some peoples brains just can’t handle complex animations. Good stuff dude.
Haha, it’s no big deal, can’t please everyone. Thanks!
That’s an amazing looking video. Great work!
Looks very ambitious. A few questions: did you create all those assets for this purpose? How long did it take you to produce this from start to end? How long did it take just to render? You did all the modeling, animation, texturing, lighting?
Very creative. Nice compositing at the end with the explosions, etc.
Thanks!
I was contracted to make the video of July last year, so 8 to 9 months to complete (worked all the way up to the day before release).
The human models I used Adobe Fuse for, it made it easy to have a fully clothed model which I could make edits to. I use some parts from a motorbike model I got online as well. A few kitbash models as well for some mechanical pieces. The rest I did myself, including modeling, animation, texturing, lighting, etc.
Appreciate the kind words, cheers.
Thanks for sharing those details Basil. Very impressive work really. You have an incredible knack for recreating those late 70’s and early 80’s backlit animations. I’m enjoying your YouTube channel as well! Keep up the great work.
Quite welcome, thanks for your interest :) and I appreciate the kind words!
OMG! i feel inspired :D
Thanks, really glad to hear that :)
amazing video, well done.
Thanks you!
