'The Blender MegaMan' with DemNikoArt - Subsurface Talks podcast #11

vendredi 25 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:12:20

Nikodem Bredlich (DemNikoART) is the guest of 11th episode of the Subsurface Talks Podcast. Niko is a 3d artist who has released a series of animated shorts called ‘The Mavericks’ based on the popular Nintendo game franchise ‘MegaMan X’ by Capcom. The game gained a dedicated following in the 90's and since then i inspires a lot of pop-culture and fan-art. Nikodem is giving a more realistic - cinematic action style to his fanart movies. Basing on the MegaMan antagonist characters (the Mavericks) he creates his interpretations of their stories. Niko is also working as a freelance 3d and graphic design artist (with 2d graphic design as his background). In the podcast he shares his inspirations, his challenges and the process of quickly leveling up to a high level of proficiency with Blender. Being able to put out whole animated short movies takes a lot of dedication and time, but also some clever tricks that Niko will share in this episode. If you’re curious how to succeed like Niko, listen to this inspiring conversation.

'Do it all in Blender!' with Jason Van Gumster - Subsurface Talks podcast #10

mardi 15 octobre 2024 • Durée 01:02:11

The 10th episode of Subsurface Talks Podcast guest is Jason Van Gumster.

Jason (also known as Monster Javaguns) is a real ‘Jack of all trades’ and he describes himself as a member of the ‘Blender Old Farts Club’, which basically means he has been using this software forever. Jason has seen Blender used and used it himself in the most unexpected ways and he loves to share stories about this. He is the author of ‘Blender for Dummies’.He works for Autotroph (the company behind Blender Market, CG Cookie and Orange Turbine). He also writes science fiction novels and travels with his family around the United States in a mobile home (which he documents on his website https://www.functionallyhomeless.com/). In the podcast we talk about Blender used in companies, the Los Angeles Blender Conference and other interesting nerdy stuff. Jason is a podcaster, writer, coder, animator (it would be easier to write what he is not) There is so much more about what Jason does, but I think it’s enough to get you interested in this unusual conversation. Jason’s passion for Blender is contagious - so be careful, you might just want to ‘Do it all in Blender’ after listening to this episode.

Enjoy!

DJ.

'Blender Secrets revealed !' with Jan van den Hemel - Subsurface Talks podcast #2

jeudi 4 mai 2023 • Durée 01:07:00

The guest of 2d episode of Subsurface Talks is Jan van den Hemel who is an experienced Blender 3d artist running a popular YouTube channel 'Blender Secrets'(https://www.youtube.com/c/BlenderSecrets ) offering very useful productivity tips for 3d artists using Blender.

Jan shares his experience of freelancing as a 3d artist and starting a YT channel that eventually grew to become his full time job (that freed him from the doubtful pleasure of visualizing colostomy bags ! :) ).

As Jan went through the long and winding road of learning Blender himself he found that recording short ‘tip’ tutorials helped him memorize and store some techniques that otherwise might be easily forgotten and he shared those with his viewers on YT. After a few years Blender Secrets became one of the top sources of useful Blender lore for beginners and seasoned professionals alike. Jan also gathered these into a compilation ebook that he sells on gumroad .

You can find all about Jan’s work on his website :

https://www.blendersecrets.org/

During the one hour long conversation DJ and Jan talk about the rise of AI, whether it is possible to buy a cup of coffee at 6 AM and what to do when all the electricity is gone. Of course most of the episode revolves around Blender and 3d as well as Blender Conference (that both for DJ and Jan was the first one ever they attended, but want to go back to every year now). Are YouTube shorts beneficial for the creators and viewers ? Is TikTok working for everyone? Those and some other interesting questions get answered in this episode.

Listen and enjoy!

He creates music videos, motion graphics, VJ loops, and all kinds of visual creations with a special inclination for digitally transformed/destroyed meshes, fractal-like structures, and particles.

This first part of the conversation revolves around Midge’s journey to 3d art and shifting from freelancing and being hired for his skills to being hired for his own unique style that Midge developed over the years of his personal experimentations. What does it mean to have a style and what is the common denominator that defines it? Are limitations good for creativity? Does working for the music industry open endless creative possibilities? What makes Blender a perfect tool for experimental visual artworks? These are some of the topics that we touch upon.

In the second part we will talk a bit more about the video that Midge produced for Korn’s song ‘Worst is on its way’ as well as some future plans and new areas that Midge is exploring so stay tuned for more in the second part!

'Sky is no limit for Blender' with Jonathan Lax - Subsurface Talks podcast #5

mercredi 30 août 2023 • Durée 01:10:38

Jonathan Lax -3d artist, animator and director of Gecko Animation in London is the guest of this episode of the Subsurface Talks Podcast. Jonathan declares himself as a devoted blenderhead (a 3d artist using Blender for work and really loving it :) ) , a husband and dad. What you will also learn in the podcast, he loves tennis a lot !

DJ had the opportunity of meeting Jonathan at the last Blender Conference in Amsterdam where they only had a brief conversation (but fruitful with contacts exchange). Finally the podcast was a chance of having a longer and deeper talk about Blender, animation, working as a 3d artist and having family life and space travel (yes ! - even that, as Jonathan has worked for Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic on some projects around their commercial space travel service).

With years of experience and numerous commercial projects completed (most of which can not be shared due to NDAs) Jonathan shares some wisdom gained on the journey and can testify that Blender has been a reliable tool even for hi-end commercial 3d work (despite not being the ‘industry standard’). We talk about the beginnings of his Gecko Animation studio and how sharing a small success and showing off some impressive work in combination with a good London address have opened the doors to a lot of great CGI work. Jonathan talks about his exciting projects for a Venice based renowned restaurant ‘Quadri’ designed by star architect Philippe Starck. We also discuss some educational experiences he had while teaching Blender to digital artists at Framestore VFX - one of the greatest VFX houses in the world.

So fasten your seatbelts and get ready for another journey into 3d space. And may the force be with you ! (and if you’ll enjoy this episode - make sure to share it with a friend or two).
