No CG tutorial or anything blender has genuinely blown my mind like this.
He keeps on doing it!
I lost it when he showed that simple green screen footage and react with lights and reflections in blender 😐
Same!
@Ozain Skayf Same here. My tongue is gone. Can't speak.
Amazing skills, stunning depth of knowledge, but wish this dude were more of a teacher. 😞
"If you slide something in a direction and it looks better, DO IT!" Sssh, that's been my only trick!
the only trick for me
Click a little...yes...click..yes...click..no..undo...the other way perhaps....
i thought that was the only possible way to do stuff, just abuse the sliders xD
"If you slide something in a direction and it looks better...do it!" Ah yes, my entire Blender process in one sentence...
Machine-learning in a nutshell too :D
"If you slide something in a direction and it looks better, do it!"
do it ! Just do it !
tbh I don’t know what half of the sliders in the principled bsdf shader do so this has been my tactic throughout my entire blender experience.
3:14 , please explain that part clearly, like should I do motion tracking of the green screen footage for the movement of camera or what? Please please help me 😩🥺😭😔😟 (explain it in a long way if you have time) please!

in all fairness, he brought it down to a simplicity that can only come from really understanding a problem.

0:40 the irony and brilliance of having to shoot a 3D subject using a 2D format camera, then reimport the 2D image as a plane into a 3D environment and render it out as another 2D image.... Great tutorial as always!
And now we're getting into immersive VR-type situations- it's just a big ol mish mash, hahaha
@@IanHubert2 In the the game Obduction from Cyan Worlds (the people who made Myst) they've been experimenting with VR, and because all of their human characters have always been live action footage they've been getting pretty creative with how they display it. They're shooting it with stereoscopic 3D and placing them as holograms in some spots, and in one area a character is behind a locked bunker door so you only see him through a porthole. It's simple, but convincing in practice.
@@IanHubert2 *mish mesh mash
Say that again please?!
It's actually not that far removed from the techniques Willis O'Brien, Ray Harryhausen and Max Fleischer pioneered, just that the equipment takes up less space. :)
This was one of those "non-lazy" tutorials...
I'm a software engineer but not a 3D modeler/animator. I am in awe of the videos you make, and how you even find time to make the videos given how much time you must be animating. Bravo dude, you are making art, then making art about how you make art, and it's all fucking beautiful.

Good point
It still doesn't fully click for me, I'll be rewatching it 20 times for sure, but omg I agree it's modern world wizardry, Ian. The crazy trigonometry tip with aligning the feet and scaling using the camera origin is the most liberating thing I've seen in a while.
Yes!! I literally spent like a day trying to use drivers/constraints and other nonsense like, "there's gotta be a ratio between the distance the person is, and the scale, so they cancel each other out..." then was laying awake in bed at 4am like, "Oh wait- just stick the origin on the camera."
Didn't click for me either for the first time seeing it but when you actually get into greenscreen/camera tracking etc. you'll be able to understand the wizardry. It is actually really fun and not as complicated as you would think. Anyways I love Ian's videos. He's inspired me so much! On a side note I'm actually really young too (15 yrs). The best thing about Blender is that it is a free, professional-grade software open to anyone, despite their age or income.
@@IanHubert2 It's brilliant. I've watched this three times now. The last time at half speed (which is strangely like listening to you drunk on 8 beers) and am finally understanding what you're doing. It's just remarkable. Gleb is right. It's really liberating.
@@IanHubert2 u r awesome man .. hats off ...
@@IanHubert2 Yo, Hmm, just wanna ask when does camera tracking happens in this whole process? before you keying out the green or after? or you don't need to track the camera at all?
Holy wow man. Here I am casually looking around YT for motion tracking tutorials for a totally unrelated thing (high speed machining analysis), find your videos and now I'm binge watching your entire channel and wanting to stop what I'm doing, learn Blender and work on an indie film. Great stuff! New sub and patreon member :)
Coming back to this video after Dynamo Dream Ep1 came out. It Really puts into perspective the hard work and dedication to the worldbuilding youve put in. Holy shit its so cool. Keep it up, cant wait for more.

man, I've been creating content for almost 19 years now, filming, editing, 2D, 3D, etc. Every time I watch your stuff I realize how dumb I am ha. Literally you're in an entirely different world, one that you are creating. I'm trying to force myself to learn Blender more and more because it is liberating to be able to do almost anything you can think of, as you show in each of your videos. Thanks for inspiring!
In case anyone is wondering about the edge kernels in the keying node: it looks at pixels and uses contrast to determine if it's an edge of a matte. • Edge Kernel Radius - the radius in pixel used to detect an edge (how far to look around a pixel to determine edges) • Edge Kernel Tolerance - if the difference between pixel colors is higher than this threshold, then the point will be considered an edge
no te entendi
I have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on. All I know is that you delete the default cube... This looks like wizard magic to me. Beautiful, gorgeous wizard magic.

it's like 8 hours of tutorials packed into 10 minutes
These are amazing tutorials, and being able to see the big beats so quickly for a beginner is essential! It helps me not get overwhelmed with too much minutia

Hey Ian! I want to thank you for doing your thing. Your content is so inspiring and makes me re-think what is possible for indie-filmmakers.
Today I learned, after having used Blender for two years, there's freakin' roto tools. It keeps growing on me, literally! Thx for super fun and valuable tutorial! :)
if you have used blender for 2 weeks, it's already outdated man ;) the release schedule is absolutely insane nowadays, and i honestly don't see how some more industry-standard software can keep up with that for longer than 2 years, they saw right in making a long-term support version for blender, as this kind of rapid updating would make many a person nervous just the same, "don't fix it if it ain't broken" doesn't apply all that well to blender, it's in a perpetual quantum state of both broken and fixed simultaneously. sure the tools are implemented first, then fixed up later, they are by no means as perfected as industry standard tools, but that has always been the blender principle, features first, polish later, and any avid blender user can tell you there's an addon for just about any gap you need to fill (like animation nodes for mograph) that's why it's still full of old code that gets revised when the time comes, feature creep doesn't have to be a bad thing when the thing still only weighs in at 150 MB total packed, they now have more resources to revise things than ever with absolute tech big shots using blender and giving back.
amazing tutorial!
Can you make a tutorial on how to place a person in 3d world with green screen involving motion tracking? I can't understand...
@@mylopintorizvi4642 Can you verify my workflow? • Motion tracking • keying and exporting the layer as tiff sequence •Delete the background image of the camera •Import image as plane into the 3d scene •Output as a video or images ...
@@mylopintorizvi4642 Is there any tutorial on this matter ? I consider myself to be in intermediate stage ... I would appreciate if you can share your beginner level green screen motion tracking tutorial with me ...
@@mylopintorizvi4642 He goes through pretty much everything...But he omits few intermediate steps ... which are essential.. To be honest this green screen motion tracking is used almost in every Hollywood shot ... It's kinda frustrating to know how to model shade and all except this and compositing...There are few tutorials out there ...
@@mylopintorizvi4642 That's a bad idea ... It will be a painful task ...Possible ... It is done when there is no choice left ... I mean for some reason if you don't have a green screen ... Think of going over frames one by one ... Rotoscoping and compositing a character on top of a 3d environment also involves the same workflow ...
This is very easily one of the best Tutorials I have ever seen, you keep the whole 10minutes of video entertaining, I haven't done a lot of work with green screen and I'm just starting to learn a bit more about it in videos. Thank you for making such an impressive tutorial. (I'm still trying to understand all the concepts covered in the video😂)
Honestly, I watch this every time it shows up in my feed because your banter is so damn good. "I don''t know what kernels are but if you slide something and it looks better... go with that!" Best advice ever.

Cool I wanna see Ian and Peter together 2 blenderer soooooo coooool :)
bro i started learning blender seriously after seing that make a city lazy tutoriels you did back then , its been 4 years dude. I still have no idea WHAT YOU RE TALKIN ABOUT ! but it's great to have this tutorials , i just can't imagine doing anything without them. Figuring those things myself feel like living in the dr.stone univer and having to redo society without senku
they way you use image projection onto models to build your worlds so fast is fascinating and inspiring.

@jevf4a2 imagine being paid to keep using a free software. No, he is just squeezing out as much value as possible from Blender because for him, the money saved by using Blender exclusively justifies the decreased efficiency. It's not like Nuke and Fusion are free for indie filmmakers.
@jevf4a2 Very underrated comment!!
This is insanely awesome, thanks for this, Ian (my brain is still processing all the data :D )!
Had to see this 3 times just to wrap my mind around it!
I really appreciate how you did a longer tutorial. Thanks for making it fun too
A tv show with these aesthetics, good writing and great characters is what I’ve always looked for. Now I know it actually is possible.
Joining the Patreon was hands down the best decision of the decade. Perhaps the century. Thank you for your words of wisdom Ian🙏🏻
I would pay a quite decent amount of money for a course (with a slowly pace) of this!! The way he uses simple photo textures and the results is mindblowing.
I feel like crying…I’ve had blender for about 4 years now and have only opened it for a total of 2 hours. Amazing tutorial! You have just opened a new world that I’ll be exploring as I continue to work on my short film
Movie name
I've been using it for about two years, and every time I do it does something weird and totally counter intuitive that makes me want to throw it through a window. I've gotten some nice results, but it's only barely worth the migraines. The concept of user-friendly really wasn't a priority when they made this program.
This is WAY better than a lot of movies now days
I'm not understanding much, but somehow i feel all the rigth information is being uploaded to my brain
Can't really use it until we understand so, lets keep watching his new videos
It'll percolate and, in due time, formulate amazing works of art in your head for later.
Don't worry, in time you'll understand
Same here. I am like where do I start?
This guy will make me switch from Cinema 4D to Blender 😖!!!
Do it.....
just do it
jesus christ, this is incredible, you must be a wizard. I think instead of being a 3D artist, I shall revert to my old calling and open up a bakery
This is everything. Nothing I watched in KZhead or anywhere had motivated me as much as the lazy tutorials. Please keep the amazing work. 🙏 Thanks
Holy shit, the possibilities with this knowledge is endless. I think I just found my new project: learning to do at least some of this.
that is amazing and probably past the point of compehensibility for the go fast style. left in the dust. but still good! EDIT: ok... I watched the alpha channeled girl walking around part like twenty times and I think I finally understand what you're doing. so it seems the only thing you're doing manually is changing the scale on the plane so that the feet stay on the ground plane. this has the effect of moving the girl/plane on the z axis (blender's y axis). what was not clear to me was how you animated her walking around in 3d space. but it seems that that is gotten for free because the camera that the image plane is constrained to is animated itself and contains the CAMERA TRACKING information for the shot. so your scaling would translate the plane and the walking girl in the z axis (blender's y axis) while the camera track motion would cause the camera (and therefore the parented plane with the girl) along the x axis. holy fucking shit, how did you figure this workflow out?!? this might be completely novel and INVENTED BY YOU! coin it man! plant your flag! IHFPT - Ian Hubert Footage Plane Traversal? HIPT - Hubert Image Plane Traversal? HuMP - Hubert's Magic Plane? IMP - Ian's Magic Plane! and yeah, the ability to come up with a solution like this probably only came about because you're using a program where 3d modeling, compositing and tracking can all exist holistically in the same program. this workflow would be unthinkable in after effects. it's doable in maya and nuke but many of the techniques you used are somewhat deprecated functions so it would be surprising if someone came up with this in those programs. mind. blown. srsly, you're like a one man tour de force ambassador for blender to the wider vfx community. legendary.
Do you think it could be achieved in 3dsmax?
This is called "sleepless nights" xD

Ian you’ve made a very bummer year something enjoyable. Thanks for being awesome.
Love this tutorial, as I have loved all the rest. I have to say, Ian, I don't know that I have ever seen a tutorial or had a teacher that could teach so well, yet make me laugh so much at the same time. Keep it up! I am enjoying them and inspired at the same time.
i've never installed blender. i don't know the first thing about 3d animation. but these tutorials are teaching me a new appreciation for the basic principles of CGI and film that i never had (and never knew where to start looking to even begin learning). so even though i will never use the techniques you're teaching, thanks for teaching me a little about the magic tricks behind the movies i watch. (also i love the goofy dystopia worldbuilding in all your videos. "brutal oasis dentist and daycare" and all that's implied by its oddly specific name is hilarious.)
This is absolutely phenomenal! I love VFX like this! You are literally the Bob Ross of Blender tutorials. Keep it up, man!
Coming back to this video after a year of learning blender and holy guacamole, I remember how so much of this went right over my head when I first watched it but now I actually understand! This is really cool and I enjoy the style you explain it in haha thank you!
I was having a pretty crappy day. Seeing a notification for this video suddenly made me forget that. Hell yeah, I've been waiting for this video for months, today's a good day.
"I don't know what kernels do, but if you slide something in a direction and it looks better, do it!" - This is how I color correct footage.... I feel bad now but also validated.
Knowing what it's doing is not the same as knowing how to use it.
The amount of things you can do in blender is crazy!
I just keep rewatching this and am blown away every time... Epic!
this is wonderful. i bought a green screen hoping to figure out how to do exactly this type of set compositing. i see now that i would've taken me years. thank you for this video!
3:58 that blew my mind!!
Coming back to these after EP 1 is fun to see all the scenes from these finally coming into existence as a single episode
I love that how this video contains lots of humor with the same vibe as the Lazy Tutorials! Really make learning a fun stuff!
I feel like I just survived getting hit by a train of knowledge. This video and channel is better than my entire college education.
Uh OK, yes, this is way better than my green screen tutorial that I did parodying your style.
Still learned a couple things from yours! Also cool to see you're a fan of sir Hubert as well 👌
Haven't seen it yet, but it's hard to believe it's not 3 hours long. :D
Yeah like many others, the "I don't know what kernals are but if you slide it around and it looks better, do it!" resonated deeply!
Wow, two years ago? How am I just seeing this. I need to hire you Ian.. Great job, now on to see what you've been doing recently. Brilliant!
"And now it looks like she's staying still and the camera's moving!" This is witchcraft and I'm here for it
2:30 - This is magic! I used this technique to stabilize handheld footage (underwater shot, so a floaty camera made sense) and pull the camera back like 50 feet (much further than my living room wall!).
Holy crap! These methods open up a n entire world of possibilities I never considered because of perceived cost.
Ian is my man from now on. just got a new sub.
Best video about tracking in Blender I've ever seen. Dude, you take this to a new level. Wow! Edit: and now, a year later, I can proudly say I actually understand all of this :D But yes, I still come back to this video.
I think I can do this now. I have a lot to learn, but finally am at the point where I'm not longer afraid to do this!!!!
That is way beyond what I can process. Awesome to see you operating in Blender like Chopin on the piano.
This is amazing. Exactly what I've been wanting to do for some time. Although I did not get adobe after effects, due to subscription, Houdini, Moho, etc. I have really come to enjoy blender. It seems to have all the features I need. I will explore this further. I hope to record ideas that I have had in my brain for over 5 years now to actually make it happen. Thank you.
1:12 Top 10 rappers Eminem was afraid to diss
I'm watching this as a long time Cinema 4D user, and it's making me think of making the switch to blender. C4D has some great compositing tools but I've just never seen them used in this way before. This is the exact kind of effect I'd love to achieve.
Same but the difference is i am not an cinema 4d user, but just an mine imator beginner animator lol
Every time I watch a video from you it gets me inspired.
This is one of my favorite renders!
My mind was blown so many times - easy focal length and camera move changes in post?! Interactive shadows, reflections, and lighting from 2D footage?!?! Easily tracking masks to footage?!?!?! (No need to apologize, it's honestly extremely mildly inconvenient in After Effects)
I know right??? Like, most of the keying/masking IS slightly easier in AE, but that bit is so nice!
