Jesus fucking christ this is the best the show has looked in forever and the most original looking CG animation I've seen since Spider-Verse...How the fuck did they make this with a TV budget?https://x.com/Swag_K1RBY/status/1974272329325641922
Talent was never about budget.
>>150679076it looks AI generated t. bh
Mogs the new movie
>>150679076Adam Paloian, the director of this short, stated how Nick gave them full creative control with it.Honestly I had optimistic expectations but didn’t expect it to be this fucking good, I loved how expressive and visually interesting it was, definitely the best SB has ever looked in CGI.Usually my biggest issue about current SpongeBobs animation is that, while sure it is indeed expressive and good-looking for modern tv standards, the timing is a bit weak and they don’t play around with angles all that much (most shots are that perfect flat horizontal POV we see in every other modern cartoon these days), this short fixes those issues and doesn’t feel style-over-substance like most NuBob episodes, the writing was just as enjoyable as the visuals and almost pre-movie quality. Hope to see more shorts like this.
>>150679186Don’t see it
>>150679076No u see akshally this animeshun is bad and their disprespecting Hillenburgs legacy and its to overanimated and the people who made tis short are clearly trying to create the next big meme face
>>150679076I don't think it's 100% CGIA few parts looked like matte painting just being moved around like an animation cel. Some of the effects were clearly painted stills with minor animation too.Certainly a great use of CGI and a lot of work went into it but it's not achieved solely by digital graphics.
What is it with guys named Stephen and ALS?
>>150679090The Day the Earth Blew Up looked amazing and had only a 15 million dollar budget, for comparison shitty animated CGI films like K-Slop Demon Hunters have 100 million dollars in their budget.
>>150679424That didn’t look bad
>>150679076>2 threads about this up>both OPs are saying HOLY CUSSWORD THIS IS THE BEST EVER?! CHRIST ON A STICK!this doesnt feel like a shill campaign at all
>>150679675spumco trannies are desperate for validation
>>150679675Or maybe it’s probably the best thing to come out of NuBob in a while you fucking autist? I don’t even like the nuseasons all that much and even I was surprisingly enjoyed by this, you Spongeboomers are such miserable fucks.
>>150679424Day the Earth Blew Up was really nice animation, but only animation nerds care about Looney Tunes at this point. K Pop Demon Hunters looked great, but it mostly did well because of the soundtrack and appealing to nerds
>>150679794I said jack about my opinion of it. I hate when the same shit is said multiple times by people latching onto something and they just glaze something in the same exact autistic way that looks no different than a targeted shill campaign.
>>150679675https://youtu.be/5SsBFwpLVGU
>>150679826They both link to the exact same twitter upload too, so it's not even dismissable that it's the shitty trend of animation twitter users worshipping something and then bringing it here directly in their same faggy way.
>>150679826>I hate when the same shit is said multiple times by people latching onto something and they just glaze something in the same exact autistic way that looks no different than a targeted shill campaign.Just like you Spongeboomers who all act like carbon copies of one another.
>>150679896Can you faggots stop making up stupid tribewar bullshit for one god damn day. Why is this shit even allowed? Why does this not count as low quality posting/spam at this point? I see it fucking everywhere and it's disingenous at best.
>>150679076They had time to learn with the Spongebob Camp cartoon.
>>150679076>CH GreenblattDamn, the last time he was on this show was Season 4>20 years agoIT HURTS
>>150679675>>150679755>>150679826>>150679863>>150679941>Spongeboomer samefag meltdown
>>150679957God I just remembered how ass that show was visually
>>150679076It looks incredible but the pacing is breakneck, did they have to fit it under 7 minutes instead of the usual 9~10 minute long episodes?
>>150680079Honestly I don’t mind the pacing, I feel like there’s tons of episodes from the past 2 SpongeBob seasons that would work better as shorts anyway
>>150679076Can anyone upload a 1080p logoless version of this episode on AnonDrop.NET?
>>150680323I've been trying to find a not shitty copy of this but I only see the ones uploaded to X. Has Nickelodeon uploaded it anywhere?
>>150680048>"What are opinions different from mine?"
>>150679994You can tell which scenes Greenblatt boarded too, this is a seasons 2-3 level expression.
>>150680079Probably more expensive to make, resulting in a shorter runtime.
>>150680422Says the one who thinks anybody with a positive opinion on the newer seasons is shilling
>>150680431I prefer 6 minutes with expensive animation over 11 minutes of typical TV animation. They should’ve made this a theatrical short though
>>150679076I’m furious that this is good. SpongeBob shouldn’t be good anymore. It shouldn’t even still be around. Making it good only incentivizes Nick to keep churning it out and keep making the first 3 seasons a smaller and smaller part of this shit heap of a toddler franchise. Pre-movie should be the only good form of SpongeBob. Why can’t they just let it be already!
>>150680367We gotta keep searching, there has to be an 1080p logoless version uploaded somewhere?
>>150680829Shut the Fuck Up! Loud House is the one that needs to be cancelled & ended, their arcs are full of nonsense.
>>150680930Based autist
>>150679076It was cool to see a few of the more "obscure" deep sea animals in a cartoon.
>>150679076Fucking acid trip right here, looks almost claymation-like.
>>150681534I loved the barreleye fish, how have they not done that before?
>>150681534I love how the newer episodes lean further into the underwater feel. The Tibbitt seasons barely felt like they took place underwater at all.
>>150679675>>150679826Maybe people just like it and more than one thread was made because it's cool and Spongebob is a really famous cartoon?
>>150679186Ironic how this premiered the same day that Sora came out with AI SpongeBob. Nickelodeon and other studios need to push for more original styles like this otherwise they will lose their audience to AI slop
>>150682983Expressive animation is basically AI-proof, you see AI replicating stiff shows like Rick & Morty and Family Guy but when it tries to replicate NuBob it looks off cause those expressions require creativity to be drawn.
>>150679186>>150679257It has an AI interpolated look to me, like it's not completely AI generated but they're using AI to generate more frames. The fine movements just don't look natural.
>>150684376>it has an AI interpolated look to meCurious what you think you’re seeing. Scrub through the animation, every single frame is completely original and is too refined to be any form of modern AI. You’re just not used to seeing this level of quality in cartoony CG animation and have been seeing Sora crap online. This does not have AI on any frame
>>150679076>>150679217>>150679336I've got a CGI question that I'm not sure if /co/ will be able to answer, about the way mouths are animated.So the original Toy Story, one of the first huge mainstream CGI projects, used NURBs. Whatever that means. But it cause some weird creases near the sides of characters' mouths. Then they used something else for 2 and 3, but idk what.Has a 3rd revolutionary thing come out that allows for mouths to be shown at multiple different angles like OP's video? Idk how to explain it, but it looks to me like they have to create an entire new model for some of the goofier poses, and the mouth movements themselves glide around their faces so smoothly.
>>150679675>why are people liking something thats well-made and fun to watch?zero common sense
>>150679076Waller has been saving Spongebob and /co/ will tell you it's bad because they do...LE WILD TAKES?!
>>150679076As someone who absolutely hates what Spiderverse has done to the animation industry, making people think "the less frames it has the better it looks!" I really appreciate the actual attempt to streamline this. It almost looks like Claymation style at times.This was a very pleasant surprise to see, genuinely funny and creative too.
>>150685587Everyone moved onto doing basic triangle models like video games do after NURBs because it works good with skeleton rigs to animate things with. Not much has actually changed with how those models are made over the years other than people creating better tools for it.
>>150686221I get what you're saying, but it kinda does look better. Like, they have more time and money for visuals by doing that.
>>150686112They so nostalgia blind they’ll ignore the fact that the golden age had tons of expressive animation as wellThis scene from the movie for example had in like 49 unique expressions within 4 minutes:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EtEUqQXsO2Q
>>150686273The first Spiderverse never looked bad to me, since it was entirely built around that animation style, and that style is a good one to follow, if you actually do it right.My issue with it is how everyone else took the absolute bare minimum to emulate that style, just constant frame cutting and making things look so fucking cheap, no actual attempt to make movement and such flow well, like it was literally all down to cutting frames of animation and nothing else.This comes across like the people behind the scenes actually took care and attention to everything, which is something I haven't seen Since the first Spiderverse movie. Everything else comes across as an extremely poor attempt to emulate what Spiderverse did, just flashy colors and shittier animation, like what Puss in Boots 2 or the The Mitchells vs Machines tried, making them both just absolute shit to completely avoid entirely.
>>150686374Listen, with SpongeBob, “old good new bad” is an unironically fair take with no elaboration needed. I would hate this scene if it was done after the movie, but because it’s in the movie, I like it unconditionally.
>>150686480I agree, this short is better than the spider-verse copycats. At least this has its own look for the characters and world. It looks like little toys in a model set rather than stiff CG or cel shaded Barbie dolls
I want more animation like this
>>150679076Adam Paloian is a damn genius
>>150690047It’s a shame it’s confirmed he pickpockets his coworkers at Nickelodeon
>>150690096The price of fame is not cheap, and you need everything you don't have to get it
>>150679076As always with modern spongebob, it looks great but the jokes are lacking
>>150690255The Patrick Star Show is surprisingly funny, funnier than anything from the past three SpongeBob seasons.
>>150690047He also animated the video games music video for Tenacious D
how do y'all think Awe is gonna make a clickbait video trying to find a way to hate on this one?
>>150679076It was okay. I laughed at the Squidward joke.
>>150686221I'm really, really sorry to tell you this, but fewer frames generally does look better. CG animating on 2s and 3s has been a net positive for the animation industry.
>>150691987stylized 2D looks better when done correctly, shit like the Smurfs and that upcoming Cat in the Hat movie are clearly just adding some kind of cel shading thing for cost cutting purposes.
>>150691999*meant to say stylized 3D
>>150679076It was done in Blender by great internet animators so of course it’s good. But don’t expect to get movies and shows looking like this for long, too expensive. At best we get a CGI short from this team once a year.
>>150691987me when i lie
>>150679090The issue is that many TV budget productions give animators super tight deadlines and not enough time to make their work look good. This short must've been in production for quite a bit since Tom Kenny sounds slightly younger here.
>>150681534Waller seasons have been giving underrepresented sea creatures attention for a while now
>>150692029this is why indie animation is mogging industryshit
>>150686374>>150687635it's hard to describe what it is but older season faces had a different style to them compared to newer season faces, not saying I hate the new faces, but the expressions in this short feel more like pre-movie expressions than new season faces.
>>150685587It sounds like you’re talking about deforming models in your last paragraph. Pic related
>>150693777Don't tons of Maya controls allow for varied mouth movements? Tons of Kevin Temmer videos show this.
>>150693777A lot of the time it's deforming character models but, in at least a few cases (FOP A New Wish, Sponge on the Run at least for SpongeBob), the character models are comprised of separate meshes (e.g. legs are a separate mesh from the torse and eyes are separate mesh from the head shape) which allows for face and body parts to be swapped or duplicated if needed.
>>150679274based Saberfart enjoyer
>>150684376AI interpolating for 3d would be silly. Usually its on default in 3d animations and you have to put some effort into making it follow certain frame rate.
>>150691987shut up ngiger ive heard this atleast 50 times and it does NOT look good.
>>150691987what looks really bad is when the animation gets choppy and then smooths out whenever it can, it looks shitty and is also jarring, it's unpleasant to watch because of it.
>>150692813Well if anything, this is proof that industry shit and indie can work together.
>>150679076Tom Kenny sounds different.
>>150695217Only if more shows besides longrunners like SpongeBob are able to take risks
>>150679217I feel like another problem is that, while I do find NuBob to be well animated and personally enjoyable, the episodes just feel more like Ren & Stimpy than SpongeBob, this short actually feels like SpongeBob
https://files.catbox.moe/46q01r.mp4
>>150682145Yup, not everything on 4cucks (both green and blue boards) are shill campaigns, even there is plenty of them. Sometimes people just make more than one thread of thing that fucking slaps.
>>150696411nostalgiafag pongeboomers just grasp at straws to hate on even the best NuBob shit
>>150679076Would Anyone upload a 1080p logoless version of this episode to AnonDrop.net please?
It unironically looks better than the last seasons of this shit, however you are obviously not getting this level consistenly since it's too expensive
>>150697871What’s with Spongeboomers and their complete aversion towards liking anything new? I can kinda understand why they hate regular Waller episodes but I can’t see any reason why they’d hate this
>>150679076HOLY FUCK that actually looks great.Spongebob if it was classic pixar
>>150686374This scene being used as some weird gotcha is strange to me when I consider "new Spongebob" to be something that started with the first movie and progressively got worse with each following season. Even as a kid I categorized "movie and season 4 Spongebob" as the same "style".
>>150694018>>150693777What you're thInkng of is Phonames. In my 3D animation course at uni we had to add mouth animation and in Maya you can deform the mouth shapes in advance for all the necessary vowel shapes the mouth makes and save each one to be recycled for each vowel. It makes it way easier and less time consuming because you don't have to model each mouth shapes every time.
>>150679076YAYYY! SPONGEBOB!! :D
>>150686374Rewatched the scene and putting aside that wild takes thing, this movie really was a one-time thing. They pulled no punches and really made sure everyone could get in on it.
>>150681534So fuck Rock Bottom it just doesn't exist huh
>>150692640they tried doing something like this again but instead of deep sea creatures they used generic monsters
>>150693426>>150701277>>150686374The movie was undoubtedly the beginning of the post-movie style. The difference was that it used the post-movie style with actual humor, effort and some semblance of taste behind it. After the movie, they used the same style and kept a lot of the same ideas and habits, but were also extremely lazy and tasteless with those ideas. The biggest example is the "horror comedy" style of the grandma scene. That was extremely post-movie coded.
>>150695252he got old
>>150679076Why do we have more Spongebob anyway?
>>150704543money
>>150679274Why are modern SpongeBob fans so fragile?
>>150704838I feel bad for them because it feels like they're fighting an uphill battle. No matter how much they praise the newer seasons on Twitter, normies still prefer the first three, and only talk about those.
>>150691762He's going to say that the animation is really fucking good but the short is still bad because it's not Season 3 Spongebob
>>150704838Faggot
>>150704838>acting as if Spongeboomers aren’t whiny autists too
>>150679675Synchronicity is real.
>>150704838most of them are children or have the mentality of such
>>150679675>shilling SpongeBob on motherfucking 4chanDo you even read yourself? Like, have you ever stopped for 5 seconds to think if what you're saying makes any fucking sense?
>>150705577Anybody online I’ve seen that has either an extremely positive or extremely negative opinion on the newer seasons in general is a total autist. Spongeboomers are cringe but Spongecucks who treat the newer seasons like they’re the best thing ever and better than the classic seasons are on the opposite side of the autism spectrum.Most people online I’ve seen who watch NuBob agree that it’s not perfect and that it will never reach the quality of the golden age seasons, it’s not terrible but it’s not really great either, the episodes are just hit or miss IMO.
>>150704838H
>>150705577This. It's like modern SpongeBob raised them in place of their parents, so they take it personally whenever the show is criticized. A lot of kids show fandoms are like this.
>>150704838>>150704977>>150705577>>150705705>>150705765>spongeboomer samefag butthurt at people liking a new episode returns to spam the threadAnon you’re an obsessed faggot
>>150705782>proving their point
>>150705782I'm not retarded anon, first tons of spongeboomer comments showed up in this thread and then when someone pointed out your pathetic samefagging they suddenly stopped, then you made another thread shitting on this short with your same style of speech where you continued to samefag your opinions. Now you're continuing to sperg up the thread. It's funny how you call people who like modern SpongeBob autistic manchildren when you spam this shit like an underage autist
>>150705945The only butthurt one here is you. I hate spongeboomers too btw.
>>150706051>same type of file name as your other postsYou’re not fooling anyone
>>150703172All actors are getting old. Including Billy West.
