Introduction to Show Title Design with Blender 3D

Hello Everyone, Thank you for tuning in here and welcome to my another workshop about Show Title Design for TV and Web.

About the Workshop

During this workshop , i will be sharing an example designed for this series ( GUN Intro Sequence), and take you through Its design process, ideation, storyboards, style frames. Other topics like, how to kickstart an project from blank canvas, brainstorming an idea, how to manage your project, the steps of rest of the production briefly discussed as well with brief breakdown of each scene. For the production part i will be using Blender 3D, however you can follow this up with any program of your choice and for the design process i will sharing few boards from pre production phase made with help of Milanote.

Details

This workshop will be divided into mainly 2 Chapters. Ideation and Production. Then we will conclude it with some end note and few thoughts from my production diary, my personal learning on such project. Workshop is designed in a way that you can follow it up and make something of your own, i.e your own title and design something unique instead of following it up step by step, as this is not going to be software tips or tricks video rather focus on design part. Although this is a vast subject to master, this example is made using one pretty simple and common technique used quite often in industry. But as you practice more, you will realize there is more than one way to approach such challenge, and your curiosity will make your journey joyful. I personally love making titles a lot, Not only for specialization purpose but i think its a great thing to learn to present your ideas and engage your audience.

What is Premium Edition -

Other than the detailed chapters of workshop premiered online, this edition ads bonus stuff for those who are looking to dive deeper into the scenes and process. This pack includes all the content used to render out the final scenes using Blender 3D.

What is included in premium Edition?

Along with the ongoing workshop chapters, premium bundle includes

1. Project Files- . Blend files ( for Blender 3D) for every animated shot from the sequence seen in the trailer. Including the final setup, animation, lighting etc.
2. Muzzle Blasts and Smoke VDB - All the simulation caches used in the the project are included as well.
3. Original mantaflow simulation .blend files for all the smoke and fire simulations which can used to resimulate and generate more variations by tweaking the simulation and re-baking it.
4. All the production boards from workshop session including brainstorming session, storyboard, concept board, moodboards, etc are available to access.
5. My heartfelt gratitude for supporting this educational series :)

Project Files

Smoke and Muzzle Blast Simulation VDBs

During the production of this project, i worked mantaflow inside blender to make some quick muzzle flashes and smoke simulations. All the vdb files cache of simulations are available in this pack to download and can be easily imported inside blender as volume objects.

Also the original .blend files of simulation setups are included as well, which can be used to re run the simulation and generate additional versions muzzle blast simulations. The shaders are included in the file which are easy to modify.

Other than muzzle blast there are few smoke simulations as well, which i used to quickly add some life to the frames which had very little motion. Also to add secondary motion and scatter the lights through volumes.
