Sprite Fright - Blender Open Movie Showreel

This video features the making of assets and characters, shot breakdowns, the making of effects with Grease Pencil and simulations. It also features tools and processes such as the z-depth based denoising and color palettes for characters and lighting.

Absolutely blown away by this! I had to go through frame by frame in some parts in order to understand the enormous amount of effort and iteration that went in! Great stuff!

This is one of the coolest reels I've ever seen, really.

1:10 I loose it here, I wasn't expecting it and now I can't stop laughing. This was an amazing work!

0:38 Everyone's base models are so complex while the fat one is straight up a Bowling Pin XD

The pose library is probably one of the single greatest additions to Blender ever.

[LeslieSolorzanov]

I love the denoising based on depth. I saw that technique when studying CG some years ago. I love everything you all do and how masterful you all are and the attention to detail. All the while having some fun of course!

[marcfuchs]

That is how you do an awesome showreel. Damn nice music, lots of scenes, bits and details, and you even get to learn some tricks for your own work, even though you need to pay good attention.

Blender and everybody behind it is a blessing for this world. Without it, we only had a fraction of 3D artists and all those awesome projects, that we do.

This is a Pixar-level short movie. Absolutely stunning art direction with great execution.

[olmate]

It’s absolutely amazing to see what studios could barely do 10 or 20 years ago, to now having that power in consumers hands, thank you blender!

[BadbitStudios]

This short reel just explained more about the animation workflow to me than hours of other videos... bravo! 👍

[BordieD]

I like how for the block out meshes, these shapes really don't fall apart in the furnished versions.
and I think it's really funny how for one of them they're literally a bowling pin.

[Euler-hn]

One of most important tools ever. A practical example of "Disruptive".

My favorite Blender Studio film so far! Amazing job.

[computerheadman]

Holy fuck, this movie was so detailed and amazing, its so cool it felt like a full 1 hour and a half movie. Truly epic.

1:30 color palettes of all the characters
1:33 showcasing the color palette modification in real time

[CatalinPascaru]

Awesome work! Seems like quite a lot of planning and effort going into these projects.

[esat-krky]

The movie was absolutely beautiful, I really enjoyed it

[imthecoolestguyalive]

The whole film was gorgeous! I loved the art style, and part of me actually wishes it was a Scooby-Doo But Edgy type of series, with this group of a bunch of assholes and one nice girl getting wrapped up in weird mysterious shenanigans, that quickly turned bloody and gorey.
It was stellar.

Original version of the song is Carpenter Brut - TURBO KILLER in case anyone is interrested.
