Wow!! So what involvement did Blender have? Just modelling/animation or render as well?

My jaw just hit the floor… How much was done in blender? How did you render this? Congratulations, amazing work.

WOW! The visuals were really nice! The water volume looks so nice and cinematic in this and also models and materials were all 10+ stuff. Though I did not exactly get the story, but everything else was really really cool stuff! I might be repeating other people, but if you could little share your technical secrets of the visuals, I would love to read about it. :o

edit: The problem why I could’ve not get the story was maybe because I could not hear all their speaking. I’ll try again soon with english subtitles on.

Thank you guys! Basically everything, from modeling, rigging, animation and lighting to rendering, was done completely in Blender. Extensive Making of Article is in the works, I promise you I’ll share a lot about my process and also one little freebie bonus :slight_smile: Stay tuned.

Amazing work! Stunning visuals, sound effects and soundtrack, I would like to know more about the production, do you have a web site?
Let me tell you what I got from the story, its not clear the relation of the space station with the sea rescue (did they launch on pods from the station to the surface?), although that scene is beautiful I dont see how it helps with the story.
As a trailer it works but as a short movie by itself I think it lacks exposition.
BTW It reminds me of The abyss.

As I said this is amazing work, congrats!
