    As an owner of a living crab I can tell that's not how crabs move but I still love that animation. It's all very well made and pretty creative. Great job, you definitely deserve to be the winner

      Did you have to go check how it moved? Or did you know without looking? Because if you had to look, I'd say he succeeded in his mission.

      @@krownedking3369 honestly its likely one of those things you'd notice is wrong/off with the render at first glance, that said the scenario isnt really the most realistic anyway

      recreating movement is really difficult because our brain absolutly is use to watch them with gravity effect
      so if an anymation isnt done with weight in mind its noticable right away
      look at cgi hero film its absolutly awefull xD
      the same we can say for fine movememt fine gesture that are really hard to do to

    @fanto860 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Just shows experience and skill isn't enough to be the best. Even if some of the other commisions might've been better, your theme and idea for the cube turned out to be the most appreciated

  • @rubbergrub561
    @rubbergrub561 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    I think the reason you won is because of the way you approached the project, the way your mind works. Yes, you have great skill in Blender, but that's something that can be learnt, and improved on. Nobody can change the way your brain works. Definitely don't stop creating!

    awesome stuff man! i noticed you have noise threshold at 0.01 in your render settings at 7:03. usually you can set it to like 0.1 or even higher without noticable quality loss and it speeds up your renders SO much faster. you probably already know this but saying just in case :)

    3) Do you have a video on your specs lol. I’m old as dirt, lazy, and bummingly using a 2015 mac with no horsepower. I love toying with blender (started tinkering with it a year ago) and I really enjoy it.. currently I use nomad sculpt and blender when I want some more samples on things
