This looks really great! One thing that took me out of it for a shot was the takeoff roll of the jet. Realistically, it should've been launching from one of those steam catapults, and it should've been a very violent experience from the POV of a mounted camera. I point that out because I feel like it's a pretty big "feel" thing for the genre, and I know that it's the kind of specific thing that a much larger-than-you-might-expect group of people are aware of. But literally everything else makes a great sequence that conveys the perfect Top Gun energy!

I'm inspired by what you can achieve in Blender, even though I'm just getting into it again and for 3D printing rather that video at this stage. Absolutely 100% agree with the high topology from the outset, I keep forgetting though and subsurface modifiers don't count when you're exporting an .STL as they're only a visual cheat unfortunately, so end up having to redo, doh!

Generally, do you prefer to render out motion blur from blender or do you use a render pass and do it in nuke?
@AlfieVaughan
2 ай бұрын
I almost always do it from Blender. 3D motionblur is always better if you have the luxury of rendering it. Also, my GPU is a lot more powerful than my CPU. So rendering it in 3D makes comping a lot lighter where it could become a bottleneck for speed if I start adding loads of comp motion blur etc. Both ways have their uses but that's how I do mine :)
Amazing work.! When you get too the point, where you are in doubt, regarding the amount of vfx. The level of realism is huge ! :O I could not help thinking, how it would be, if you dived in too the film "Gravity" maybe the scene with the spacejunk collision :) It is truely awesome too see your breakdowns ! Thanks a lot
@AlfieVaughan
2 ай бұрын
Thank you so much! Yes sometimes in the middle I feel like I lose momentum a bit. That's why I like to render the v001s and get a good idea of how it's all coming together. It helps because I can see it all working which makes me realise I'm nearly done but also shows bits that could be improved. Thanks for the Gravity suggestion! I have a "space" scene on my list of videos I'd like to tackle. I'll definitely give it a go :)

Thanks dude 👍
Although the effort is much appreciated, It would've made more sense if an F/A-18 or even the F-14 was taking off from the carrier as well as reworking the takeoff animation as carrier based aircraft attach to a catapult that assures more accelleration and shorter take off distances. agin on aTechnical level this was very good just noting some details that grab the attention of a flight enthusiast...That if you don't mind.

I would have loved to see the render settings. I'm currently struggling to get my youtube uploads to look like the same as my exported file. I have tried just about every render setting, but even on 4K I can't get it to look like your intro. It looks amazing!! Both H.264/65 1080p on KZread looks just like 360 on Vimeo. It's insane. I also tried Cineform and DNxHR.. neither fixed the issues on youtube. So yeah, Id love to get to know your final export settings if possible! :)

I used to render to h.264 from resolve with more or less default settings. I now use h.265 but even using h.264 it still looked good. My settings now are a 3840x2160 timeline rendered out in Rec709 gamma 2.4 to an h.265 move file. Hope that helps!

Amazing… I will learn a lot from this😊 Just one question… At the beginning,why are the planes going down into the hangar of the carrier? Instead of exiting to the deck above to lift off? Different planes?

Thank you! Yeah they're different planes but I agree the context is a bit odd 🤣 basically there's a really cool shot in the film where they reveal like that. Slowly coming down the lift. But then I didn't want to make a load of shots of people getting in them and then going back up. Would have taken way too long. So I just did a jump cut like it was more of a montage 🤣

Hi! For the takeoff bit at 0:22 did you comp the sky in or it's an hdri environment texture in blender, an image on a plane/card or something else?
@AlfieVaughan
2 ай бұрын
It's an HDRI but I used it in Nuke so I had a bit more control. So the renders had no sky and then I brought the camera into nuke and put the HDRI on a massive sphere and rendered it through the camera with Nuke's 3D system. That way I could control it a lot easier and then comp the CG on top

The first thing I would do is research what kind of jet can take off from an aircraft carrier. The jet you chose was a F-16. An Air Force jet. Would not be able to take off or land from an aircraft carrier. Maybe do it with a Navy F-18 next time.
