How I Made Armies for Heroes of Bronze (Blender Scene Breakdown)

In this breakdown video, I go over the techniques and workflows of building one of the biggest shots for my Heroes of Bronze shortfilm. From deconstructing the environment, to showing my character assets, arrow simulation, dust and compositing, I go over every single element that it consisted of. I also show my After Effects composition. This is not a step-by-step tutorial, rather a breakdown format - but if you have any questions, or if you want me to break down a specific shot or technique in the future, definitely let me know in the comments! :-) LINKS: Patreon - My Courses - CGBoost Environment course - Anatomy of a Shot course - My Character Creation pipeline - My Character Creation and Animation pipeline - Geo Scatter - After Effects Chromatic Aberration - Red Giant plugins - Spruit Sunrise HDRI - Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 01:14 - Enviro 03:24 - Background 04:38 - Characters 06:43 - Randomize Movement 08:26 - Shadow Catcher 08:50 - Arrow Simulation 11:55 - 2D Soldiers 12:49 - Dust 14:53 - Compositing (After Effects) 21:01 - Outro #b3d #crowd #breakdown
