Thanks for watching!
You should make this a series. Probably some of the most enjoyable Blender content out there.
Nice!! Glad you enjoyed it!! Would definitely be possible to make this into a series, yes!
@@Polyfjord yesssss I would be awesome! So we can also take the challenge!
@@Polyfjord I agreeeee you should defiantly make this a series !!!
frfr
This has been going around the wargaming miniatures youtubers for a little bit now. Was kind of surprised to see it pop up here, but it's fun to see.
Is this going to be a series? I want to see more
I had a really fun time making it at least, so I think it might very well be yes!
@@Polyfjord so awesome to hear!
31:12 - When you talked about doing your favorite thing and being happy that people would want to watch it, that was really sweet. We can tell you really love this stuff - and that makes it entertaining!!
I would love this as a series - roll the dice and make another video! 🙂
Right? It was so addictive, i couldn't stop watching, the video was like hipnotising
Haha I thought the same! Saying he appreciated us watching it, and I'm over here thinking that I appreciate that he made it! He always goes really fast, but re-watching and working out what he's doing and why is really helping me learn and understand good practices, tools, and methods in blender. I would absolutely watch this as a series!
Its kind of amazing how passion and enthusiasm are so enthralling
Love this 'figuring out as we go' concept.. keep creating my man.
I just want to say that your EXR + djv workflow is really useful. I use it everyday now. Thank you!
That's awesome to hear!! Thanks for watching!
I love the quality of your videos!!
Quality on so many levels oo
Definitely gonna be working on this when I get home
Thanks!
Nice! If you want to join the discord (with the link in description) you can join a challenge we're doing with this list of art prompts
@@Polyfjord oh jeez, yeah I’ll definitely try
Another awesome Video! And even tho it's 40 minutes long I wasn't bored a single one of them. Super fun to see you come up with new stuff and also the always changing motivation :)
Thank you my friend!! I am so glad to hear that, I was afraid it was too long! Appreciate it!
This is unhinged and I love it. So many other Blender creators find their formula and lock into it, whether it's timelapses, "quick tips", long tutorials, and while I love that stuff it's so refreshing to see someone get into their flow. I'm imagining that every time there's a cut you're just spinning randomly around the scene, I know that's where 90% of my modeling time goes lol.
31:19 i can watch this all day, keep doing what you do. love it!!
As a a new blender beginner at the age of 68, this was the best blender "tutorial" ı've seen since. Thanks pal, keep on doing that kind of stuff for this old man.
Never too old to learn... really! Keep it up.
it amazing to see you just kind of talking to the project, with no prior knowledge on what its gonna be in the end, you just ask questions and do them and it really motivates me to do the same, i always feel like me just kind of winging it is lazy, but you have proven differently!
its like the robot is actually alive in your mind hahah
This is probably the most entertaining 30+ minutes Blender video I have ever watched. It's not just the content and final product being absolutely top notch, but also the fact that you seem like a very genuine and authentic person. Your passion for what you do rubs off so well with me, and I'm sure it's the same for so many others, as I see this reflected in other comments. I've subscribed to countless TH-cam channels, but yours is among my special list of 'ring that bell' channels where I wanna make sure I catch anything and everything you're willing to put out. Keep making amazing content for us!
Just realized the movement of the Gemspider mimics your feelings - "I don't like it / hey, it's not too bad!... it's not going to be good / Looking great so far!.... I'm not sure how this is going to turn out / Aw, THIS is cool!" Life has its ups & downs - sometimes you just have to let the process unfold! THEN you can shine like a Diamond and admire your work! - Thanks and this was fun to watch!
This is awesome. As a complete beginner, watching you build so quickly was amazing. It's like you are fluent in 3D and I love it! As for the bot, I think it turned out great! The little flaps act like a hand or arm that allows the bot to make simple gestures. I also like the fact that it stumbles toward the mirror after waking up instead of moving in a static manner, implying it might be "tired" or just starting to move again.
Wow. Crazy how little details change the whole vibe to a project. I love how you're constantly changing between "I love this" and "I hate this" :D
Thanks for letting us have a look at your workflow and still teaching us a lot!
Unreal video.
I love how we are able to see your thought process when making projects
Loved the format of this video! Was enthralled for the full 40 minutes. Definitely make this a series!
These videos are extrodaniarily valuable, because it helps people understand how you should approach things within a constrained environment.
I can't believe that blender and your videos are for free!! Awesome work (:
I can feel the passion in this video, this is what makes it is so enjoyable to watch!
Very Good concept, I love it ! See you soon on lichess! (I m "BrainExit")
There is always something new that I learn by following your tutorials, specially the animation tricks... Thanks for teaching us.
I feel like not enough people go into the details, and just show the finished product. Love the content!
I can't stop watching this through the end, this is going so interesting. Appreciate for making this video!
Whenever I feel like I'm losing motivation to keep learning Blender, I watch one of your videos and immediately feel inspired. I really appreciate that, thank you!
I really loved the restraints you placed on yourself from the beginning. Seeing how that shaped the entire project was engaging for me.
I genuinely love your content. Just got to the part where you're talking about how much you love doing it, and it's why I always come back. There's such a passion that shows in the content. And I learn a ton every time
The speed at which you can do all of this blows my mind, amazing! Watching you figure things out in real time is actually also very useful and it's a lot of fun to watch you create!
This was a great challenge, and I'd love to see this become a series! Your enthusiasm and excitement is great to see, and it's something that's missing from so many creators these days. Definitely the most enjoyable Blender video I've seen for a very long time!
You are incredible.
Not just from creativity stand point, but with your skills. Watching you do all these things on a whim is honestly inspiring. Keep up amazing work!
Incredible Quality
Watched the whole thing and loved how you described your creating /thinking process, including the "down" times! Congrats!!!
The energy from you actually really enjoying it is amazing
This kind of reminds of some of Ian Hubert's videos. It's often more fun to watch someone do their craft and figure things out as they go versus a follow along tutorial of something they've already done. Big fan of these videos since we're more likely to see your thinking process
Every tutorial of yours is incredible, and this one is no less. It's like watching a live stream of a Blender master, but without all the boring bits.
Would absolutely love to watch a whole series of those!
You are one of the best Blender content creators out there, and a huge source of inspiration for a lot of people. Please never stop doing what you do!
Just want to say, I loved this. I watched it over the course of several days but love having the longer content from you. It's always fun to watch someone who's genuinely excited by the work they're doing.
You saying how it was cool that we were just hanging out made me feel that you really appreciate your viewers and subscribers. I liked and subscribed.
The speed in which he makes all the things is just insane
The part where you were self aware that people were enjoying watching you do a favorite hobby of yours is awesome. This is my favorite blender channel by far and I will definitely use your content as tutorials when learning blender modeling for game design. Hats off all around dude awesome work with everything.
''It always looks cool to just change things.''

Best Blender quote ever!
This way of moving the camera half a second after the the object you are following makes me feel like this is a scene of the office
Yes! The camera movement in the office is absolutely amazing. To be honest I'm probably quite subconsciously inspired by the camera motion in that fantastic series
this was such a joy to watch, i hope you make more!! this is exactly the kind of blender content we need to see!
The fact that you discover how the robot can move after you've made it is so cool. I'm gonna have to get into this!
really great. the number of small tips in passing is really valuable to see in context that is more natural than a fully scripted tutorial.
Probably one of the best blender video
You are probably my favorite dude on TH-cam, not only do you give out good tutorials, but you also show off your skills in fun challenges
This format is genius. Loved the video! Please do more of these!
You just inspired a lot with this workflow of just doing it with those limitations and see what you can make up of it. That in my opinion has true form of creativity at its core. Would love to see more of these and hopefully during a stream.
This video is amazing. I love the process, the end product, your attitude, and how happy you seem doing it! PLEASE make more!
this is a genius idea
the custom vintage bokeh blew my mind.
I never even considered that something like that could work.
this was actually so good, i can’t do half this stuff but i love watching your work flow
That bokeh trick is awesome. I was thinking "why is he doing that? you can just change the bokeh shape in the camera settings" but then this obviously gives you that more realistic, inconsistent shape to the bokeh at the edges of the frame. Fantastic trick man, thank you.
watching this was awesome. Really looking forward to see more of this
You're just crazy. It's just beautiful. The search for an idea and your enthusiasm...love it!
This was recommended by a friend. Absolutely love the video and the result is mind blowing. New to blender but seeing this kind of amazing work, I'm inspired to stick at it. Thank you ❤️
It's really cool when you peak the end result first and then watch the process!
This video is so calming and wholesome, thank you!
i love how he still had the dices there, the whole time
All of your tutorials are absolute godsends!! Incredibly helpful and thanks so much :D
Not even kidding... I watched the whole video and enjoyed every second of it. Very nice work!
This is brilliant! Can’t wait for another deal!
Can't wait to join in on this adventure
I really like this kind of videos, pls do a second part of this
I would love to see more of this :D i found it really entertaining!
That was fantastic. Sat down with a cup of tea and really enjoyed watching.
That was SO fun to watch. I would love to more of this type of content!
i watched the whole thing, it was awesome to see the process
I love this style of video, I love watching you have fun and watching you make something using a spreadsheet, it had a kind of random feel when you rolled the die which I loved.
Thank you so much my friend! It really means a lot
So inspiring to watch & see your thought process & also the excitement when something goes well. Had me captivated for the whole 38:51 😁
This was a wonderful journey. Thank you.
I love how you get into a flow and get excited, you have such an understanding of movement too.
Btw I think you should hold poles and let us decide what categories you will roll for
This was super fun to watch. I really hope you'll get armored sci-fi something. I feel like that would look really well
I've never seen any blender vids at all before and this popped up in my recommendation, im so glad i sat through this whole thing, i hope this becomes a series i love it and its making me wanna learn how to use blender too ;D
dude, you'r so good
I hope you continue this
I absolutly love this idea. I often prefer limitations so i don't get overwealmed with the infinite possibilities of the unbound mind.
This series is so interesting
pls more of this, i love it, its so nice to chill and watch
I love your tutorials!!
Amazing, love the entire process
The way you created that diamond so easily make me jealous
That's just the best video i've ever watched in my life. Thank you so much for that ! Please make others videos like that, it would be amazing.
Watching your videos is always a great thing and gives me a lot of inspiration. Especially this one. Nice Job.
WOW this is the best blender video ive seen in about a year. Well done
Very nice video. I learned a lot of things from watching this video even though you weren't explaining anything. This format is honestly really nice for advanced tutorials since you can slow down to see things that you don't know but won't get bogged down by explanations of things you already know how to do. I really enjoyed it and am also hoping for a series :D
Really nice to see someone just enjoying what he does and not patronizing viewers. Really interesting to see a video focused more on the creative process than pure technique. Thanks for sharing this moment. :)
Thank you for the beautiful comment my friend!! I hadn’t thought of it like that
This is incredible love it!!
this is literally exactly what i needed, you have no idea
i love it! sometimes constraints are more freeing that having unlimited options 🤘🏼
Most enjoyable blender content i have enjoyed
Videos like this is where you demo to people how fun a tool like Blender is when you know the basics of the software. Especially the part in the beginning giving yourself rules and limitations really works when you do work for clients as well.
Oh man... Please make this a series. I really enjoyed this
You're like the Bob Ross for Blender...
And this format is really entertaining & informative...
Hope to see more videos like this!
Wow, that was incredible. Inspirational and fun. Thank you!
PLEASE do more videos like this! This was so, so fun to watch
I loved the ring box😭
Enjoyed it! Thank you!!
I like your way of work, please continue this way
