In college my professor always said(in regards to film festivals or script writing competitions) "if you can't put the effort in to follow the requested standards, then how do they know you followed the rest of the requirements? They don't care if your project goes in the bin, they have hundreds of submissions. Yours could be the best most artistic piece of art ever arted, but that doesn't matter."

You can argue that FPS is easy to fix if Clint doesn't use the audio, but everything else is not. And if audio does get used, resampling can do weird unintended things. Quality is compromised and it's all avoided by a couple of simple steps before you hit the render button.

I am SO exited to see the results from this render challenge! Your challenge series has to be my favorite on this platform! Getting to see all of the creativity really gives me a boost in motivation!

Good on ya man for holding contestants to the specs, and showing exactly how you are QCing the submissions. This is the level of accuracy and attention to detail required in the industry, no reason this should be different 😄

Thanks for posting this video! Always good to reinforce good workflow habits. My animation professors hammered us on specs every assignment. If you can't sweat the small stuff you won't be trusted to sweat the big stuff. Hurts to think that some great artists got rejected on a job application because their render was a fraction off the specs the client was asking for but thems the breaks.

Would be cool merch idea if you made each challenge into a badge. You could collect them like Ash does his gym badges in Pokemon.

Those WIP renders looked waaay too good. I'm getting cold feet.

But I did learn a ton @pwnisher that I did do. You know what's crazy, I took my unfinished render and ran it through gen 1 by runway and got some pretty amazing results, I don't know if that would have been allowed in the challenge but the fact that I was able to turn my Mad Max themed render into something that looks like it came straight out of Mad Max by using AI image style transfer to video, I don't even have to do all the work that Niko and the guys had to do when they made rock paper cross blades! Thanks again Clint I still got out of this what I wanted to and that's to learn as much as I can at the end of the day that's what I look to get out of these challenges, so thanks man I can't wait to see the rest of the renders, I've already seen a ton of awesome ones good luck to everyone and keep crushing y'all

It's so important to adhere to set standards, and it's important to practice that in life. Especially working within technology! I don't have time to participate, but I appreciate this spotlight on why it's important (since you set the standards!).

A little anxious to finish this challenge, but I'll try!!

These renders are sick already

And it's not like it's a bunch of technical requirements either. Just 3: framerate, resolution and length. In a video montage that's supposed to have identical motion this is super important to have seamless transitions.

Why is youtube specifically recommending me this video that I have no context for. Lmao, I love it

that 1st second was so intense i had to watch it 3 times. please sir dont hurt me

Wow great renders in there already

My favorite line, "You do not want to be.. in The Pit of Despair. Few artists make it out. Most of 'em.........they're in The Pit tah dis DAY." 4:10

those clips where 1 off might come from them using frame#1 as the starting point (rather than at 0). then they put frame 144 as end point and call it a day, not realizing the total frames rendered will only add up to 143.

oh crap I forgot about this challenge time to start!!

Only reason I barely do render challenges or collabs.. : you set everything up correctly…it looks exactly as requested in the program and in the file details, you hit render and… the final render after 3-12 hours has missing frames or slightly different resolution or even worse … it is just green or black screen

What am i also in despairs? Him: always has been

This is relatable for everybody that had to deal with a strict teacher/professor. My heart sank when he disregarded all of those submission. I've been in the same situation before with a final project at the end of the deadline. Kinda harsh but rules are rules, it's like a job you have to properly do it or else no pay in this case no submission.

I don't even know how to render something like that (the top 100 3D vehicle video) I just knew an intermediate amount of modelling and tried to do a simple animation (in which it didn't rendered), not to mentioned the damn textures (basically making my Laptop barely alive) So....any tips that you recommended?

Hey what are the rules on including things that aren't your creation? Such as image textures from the internet, models from quixel megascans, or animation from Mixamo?

Haha, I am the editor of a big dashcam channel, so I have to do deal with loads of garbled footage. =) You wouldn't believe, how many clips come in with a very messy framerate I am starting to wonder, if it's actually the cameras recording bad framerates. We are talking about every 5th frame or something being the same is the one before, so actual doubled frames. It works for automatic tracking, but it sucks for manual tracking and prevends smooth slomos. Often I have sat there and manually removing doubled frames and re-render. When producing own videos, it's very important to me that it's properly made. My purely private videos are way better, than they need to be. Anyway, since I also work in 3D, maybe one day I'll be part of such a challenge. =D

Don't have a pc or laptop right now ☹, but definitely will create something on the next challenge. Wish me goodluck 💪.
