Did you use Eevee or Cycles for this? Also what were the settings you used for the used engine as well as the render time per frame and total poly count of the project? Getting into 3D myself so I want to get more info on how to set up for good "quality to render time" ratios

Excellent questions. The total poly-count of the set is around 1,200,000, with the densest parts of scene being the animatronics themselves. I rendered it in Eevee, making sure to enable the check boxes for bloom, motion blur, reflection, refraction, and depth of field for the camera focus. The lights also benefit from the 'contact shadows' checkbox, but that's a quick and dirty fix for wonky shadows that you use when you can't be bothered to fix it properly and just want a 'good enough' button. Post-processing is very minimal: Slightly raised the contrast, and overlaid a very slightly blurred version of the image over top of the crisp one to compensate for how unnaturally sharp CGI can look. The big upshot of rendering in Eevee is you get lightning-fast render times, in this case hovering around an average of twelve seconds per frame. The animation has roughly five and a half thousand frames, which comes out to around eighteen hours of rendering time if I have my math right. The downside is that Eevee sacrifices some realism in the way light behaves to be able to do this, so you have to manually compensate for what is lost. For example, with no true bounce-lighting, I instead snuck in a very dim plane of light casting up form the surface of the desk, to represent the light that would be reflecting off it automatically if I'd been using Cycles.

@@TheNickofTime Thank you for the detailed response. Fingers crossed this reference point will help make it so my next animation render doesn't take almost a month because I thought only cycles looked nice. A tip in turn though for the sharp cgi, try using bevel modifier at subtle settings. On stuff like the animatronics it would probably jank stuff due to the amount of extra polyis, but for things like environments or props it can help take the "edge" off.

I LOVE the detail of Mangle's hand skipping over the edge as it crawls out of the vent.

Love that you put the vents near the ceiling, with grates, because they make no sense in the actual game

I think it wpuld be really cool if a fangame did it as detailed as this.

you did really good making the toys feel unsettling. "they just... stare..."

Impressive, you must be very proud. This behind the scenes explains how realistically big the entire place really is

The redesigned posters are a really nice touch. I love that the skybox outside the window appears to be on top of a parking garage; raises amusing implications about how Freddy's places their locations. Mangle's static pose in Kid's Cove is also a really nice one, very reminiscent of the original game's but without the clipping-into-the-floor bit. The level of detail in these animations and their videos never ceases to impress me either. I was interested in the sounds used for this one though, are there any notable ones there?

@TheNickofTime

There's not a whole lot to say about the sources of the sounds for this one, the foley is pretty mundane. For the desk fan sound, I recorded a desk fan. For the squeaks of the office chair, I recorded a squeaky office chair. For the overall room ambience, I recorded the stairwell of a big building which had a suitable industrial drone to the air. I reused some sounds I've previously recorded, like the rustling fabric noises I made for the Puppet in my Lefty animation, and my tried and true clunky doorknob sounds for the animatronics' movements. I made use of KZread's inbuilt sound library too, it had a nice selection of bumps, crashes and creaks for me to edit into Mangle's movement sounds. There's some extra info written in the description about the stuff I'm particularly excited about, which is how the sound is manipulated. I'm quite proud of how 'in-camera' this animation sounds compared to my previous ones, and that's all down to my new editing software's advanced customization tools for reverberation. I was able to better simulate how things would sound in a variety of sizes of rooms.

1:52 That spring connected to one of Mangle's joints just under the fan was something I barely even noticed in the rendered animation. Which I don't know why cause it's really cool.

Love these kinds of videos! Seeing the behind the scenes of these can really put into perspective how complicated making animations like these are. The map design was really high quality, would really work for a 3d recreation of the game. I've also recently switched to Resolve for editing, it's quite nice with tons of features. Your editing was also very good. Looking forward to more videos from you.

This is absolutely amazing! Well done!

Enjoy seeing "behind the scenes" renders and processes towards the completions of animations such as these, really interesting stuff

I think the next video should be about the mangle model you used

0:06 at first, I thought that the fan's shadow looked like Michael's silhouette

Your work is truly amazing very underared channel.

Wow that is so cool!

Will you ever make a sequel with the withereds, puppet and balloon boy?

I have no plans to at the moment, but that’s not to say I won’t at some point in the future. For now though, after finishing one of these animations I’m always relieved to see the back of it, so going back in for a follow-up is the last thing on my mind.

Lovely

Very cool!

epic 👍

Well made! Scott should probably collab with you making a game.

The camera monitor is done using an animated texture: I rendered out the view of the camera as a video file, then used that video as the screen's material.

So what would your version of mangle look like before it was...mangled?

What physics modifier did you use for the office lamp? Collision? Fluid? Soft Body?

@TheNickofTime

27 күн бұрын

If I remember right, it has a spring physics simulation, just with the bounciness turned down, and the cord has a cloth simulation pinned to the lamp object. The lamp has the physics and the cord just follows along, instead of the lamp being attached to the cord like in real life.
