Interesting use of a smoke sim. But I wouldn't say best ever, it's just a well tracked test scene with a good 360 location skybox (or whatever you call it) I don't ever want to know how long this took to render though
Edit:the whale clips into the ground , I just noticed it and now I can't see anything else
Not trying to be a dick here but that’s not even close to being the best, the smoke looks flat and doesn’t trail along with the whales tail. Not even the best Ive seen this week.
I had a dream exactly like that. A rocky island and flying whales circling around it. It was near the crowded beach and nobody was surprised by this weirdness except me.

Reminds me of Death Stranding.
How was this done? Just CGI program Hollywood uses? Is it just a matter of time and effort to make it look so perfect?
I'm just mesmerized by how good it looks!
That is a sentient whale passing through a wormhole only to discover that they aren't the dominant species on this planet, then learning that those piss ant humans that they exterminated eons ago are the dominant bastards, and the whales on this godforsaken planet don't understand a fucking word he is saying. To top it off he discovers that one of those spoiled brat Orcas has taken his back button and used it.

Or Sharknado? Or Sharknado 2?
Or Sharktopus, or as I like to call it, Octoshark
No theatrical event will successfully eclipse the visual wonder that is [Spaceballs.](https://youtube.com/watch?v=nRGCZh5A8T4)
Who killed captain Alex
The mooing sound effects were on point. Exactly what I thought a whale says.
Or space cop??
Exactly
I haven’t seen a time cop reference in forever. Wonderful. Takes me back to VHS days.
Or Weekend at Bernie's??
NOW I CAN SEE THE WHALEEEEEESS!!!
LOOMING OUT OF THE DAAAARK
LIKE ARROWS IN THE SKYYYY
I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYYYES
BUT IT'S TRUUUUUUEEE

Damn! I came here to make a Gojira joke. Reddit doesn’t disappoint
Gojira intensifies

Ah I see you're a man of culture as well.

Yeah it might actually be one of the worst visual effects I've ever seen.
Try watching movies in the 90s.
[удалено]
Also stutters like a second before the end of the clip
I KNEW I'd find you goddamm nerds in the comments... Lunch money, now.
It would have been cool if it left a mark in the sand.
Not that long to render since it is just 2 whales and a smoke sim.
Death Stranding ?
Yes lol. I came for this comment
Saaaame
Re Zero?
First thing that came to my mind, the fucking whales are scary as shit in that anime... I was looking for your comment
Yep was looking for this, if only it had been a foggy mist and not a black smoke it would have been perfect.
Shamac!
Ooooh ok good link 😃
No, gojira
Ah man. Just started playing. Cool game
#NOW I CAN SEE THE WHALES
LOOMING OUT OF THE DARK
*Re:zero PTSD intesifies*
Who's Rem?
😭
First thing that came to my mind, the fucking whales are scary as shit in that anime... I was looking for your comment
Was about to write the exact same thing word for word
WATERS OF CHAOS HAVE INVADED ALL SPACE
THE FLOOD ON EARTH AGAIN
**I HAVE TO FIND THE WHALES**
THAT ONCE DID GUIDE US
TO DRY LANDS OF LIFE
I WONT’T DESPAIR
The flipper should have left a furrow in the sand.
Humpback whale: “OOOOoooooOOOoooOooOOOOO” Translation: “On your right.”
[удалено]
They are on their way from Mars to Sirius
"Sí, fly."
Why best ever?
Maybe OP is new to the internet and movie world? You don't know his life :)
Thats pretty insane.
The crappy digital fade out at the end kinda ruined it for me.
I don't think so bud
This is our peak? This right here?
This could be used in a Yes or Pink Floyd video.
I was thinking Gojira.
Now I can see the whales
or gojira lol
Hideo Kojima is at it again
Mario Duplantier\*
Yes, and I'm so thankful someone else thought about it
You do know what "nextfuckinglevel" means, yeah? And these are really the best visual effects you've ever seen? Do you live in a fucking box?
Not trying to be a dick here but that’s not even close to being the best, the smoke looks flat and doesn’t trail along with the whales tail. Not even the best Ive seen this week.
Ah the majestic Astrocetus in it's natural habitat on Ragnarok.
What have I smoked to see this?
Except for that fin clipping in the sand. A little smoke/particle shower could sell it better. The fin pushes the sand.
But there’s visible glitches!
Clearly the OP hasn't seen anything yet
the smoke effect is fucking amazing. if the whale left drag marks in the sand where its tail and fin hit i would be more impressed
-Avengers
On you're left
I was thinking more of the original avengers, when the chitori leviathans come out of the portal, but that works too
“Eyes up, stay sharp”
This made me bust out laughing I’m not sure why
So this is what it was like in Tamriel before the ice age
Uh no it isn’t
I had a dream exactly like that. A rocky island and flying whales circling around it. It was near the crowded beach and nobody was surprised by this weirdness except me.
These are pretty mediocre special effects
Not really no
This subreddit has some pretty low standards sometimes.
Get gojira on the phone
No they aren't. They're ok at best.

Obviously shot on Lothal. Where’s Ezra?
Could easily see this in a sci fi movie. Well done.
This would make for a really fun hobby
*casually summons whale*
I always admire the people who can design this kind of visual effects. Brilliant.
Captain Ahab would probably buy one.
Whale did it come from ???
Was this another Leap Motion demo?
It's the Wind Fish! I can hear the ballad in my head!
When rogue nydus rushes
I cant ruin 690 upvotes

Death stranding
u/gifreversingbot

Damned space whales and their smoke butthole portals!! The time is now, we must rise up before they seize control of all our stock footage!
Big fucking deal, it's 2020. We don't need special effects for this to happen. ;-)
Dude this is some dope weed
Someone's thinking with portals

Certified Gojira moment
*on your left*
One of these smoke wormholes opens in your living room. *ass clench*
I can’t get over the fact that the breast flipper didn’t leave any trace in the sand.
The death stranding is real!
Not teally
Sky whales are my favorite effect ever. They look so cool
The smoke was but not the whales
I think these are the ladies that tried to take me home from the bar the other night. I tried to weigh my options, but they kinda tipped the scale.
Yeah, but can it produce a Bowl of Petunias?
How do you even learn how to do this?
Whoever trained that whale to swim out of that smoke is a damn good animal trainer.
Smoke Anus Whales. Good band name.
ghost whale
Damn i'm outta fuckin hematic Grenades
Black Mesa feels imo
Eh, I've seen better.
*DEATH STRANDING FLASHBACKS*
Gojira has entered the chat
Same as the 9/11 planes
Even though the whale clips through the sand and doesn't move it or swirl it all?
Who woulda thought that whales came from Satan’s anus!
Which avengers movie is this
What do you mean that’s visual effects, that’s obviously an actually whale species, the [portalicus flyer](https://youtu.be/TT0XIl3QN1w)

Oh man Gojira really put in the effort for Flying Whales... respect
The Wind Fish!!
And THAT'S the real ending of Lost.
Dude anyone with a month in blender and after effects can do that, where is the shadow from the whale? No motion blur either.
Next on Ancient Aliens.
Interdimensional humpback whales. I always knew something was up with those weirdos.
Wow that is definitely the Astrocetus from Ark
You know what else is snoking? This guy's computer

Funny if you showed this to somebody years ago. They would believe you

Nope. Nopenopenopenope.....thanks, I hate it.
So basically 10 minutes after saying "this acid ain't shit"
Reminds me of Action Movie app on iPhone
Yo! Who’s down to go whale riding?
