Someone finally used the default cube.
Nah, he probably deleted it and made a new one
@@kobaltmyst8074 god damn it
hahahahah when I see the familiar cube shape and color
I： Finally !
uses default cube:
default cube: if only the other's could see me now
Ayyyyyyyyyyy
Great job on the expressions, this without a face!
Thanks!! It felt like the biggest challenge
@@Polyfjord Im just going to assume that you did not delete the default cube. Apart from that, awesome animation!
@@not_herobrine3752 probably did some stuff to the default cube
@@Polyfjord bro I want sound effects on mobile where want to get it please say bro please please please
The fact that the robots can emulate human-like emotions without any faces is a masterpiece!
I was thinking the same thing. The emotional rollercoaster was done extremely well!
The face is justexpresions
Simulate*
full tutorial
I love how the reflection in his eyes shows what the robot imagines the blocks to be. Great job!
Oh, sure, that's why the other robot tryes to push the cubes. Didn't got that at first
@@bertze It's difficult to grasp. A profound film.
Screen*
That was amazing! Well done.
I’m guessing you watched the CG matter lave tutorial?
Gotta love the smell of cooked pc
1:33 lost my heart when the wheels spun. That was an helluva emotional expression
I can’t believe how much personality you got out of these robots. The sound design, the lighting, the camera moves, the concept-it’s all incredible and you’ve been giving us the building blocks (lol) to make this for free for years now. Incredible stuff.
I love this so much! Its adorable.❤ I love the fact that he's lonley and all the blocks are his friends but at the end he gains a true friend💙 Even though he always knocks over the blocks😊
Amazing!! Thank you so much!!
Interesting interpretation, for me it looks more like the protagonist was too naive about the other robot and didn't realize he helps him only for having something to ruin, the other didn't have a true patient for building those towers. and for me the end look like a betrayal.
@@pugo7925 While that's an interesting notion, I personally disagree, as with the last frames the taller robot turns and clicks his claws the same way he did when the orb started building towers back up, I think it showed that rather then betrayal it was understanding, and a desire to continue despite it
@@isaacwildflower214 exactly. The purpose went from maintaining perfect order to having new adventures with a friend, and even being able to achieve more results than before because of it (standing on his head for taller towers).
Seems clear to me that the spheres, who only knocked down towers, were the actual antagonists.
Reminds me of the quote from East of Eden: "And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good".
Brilliant film.
@@bingbongthegong i would agree with that Interpretation. The big robot probably learned from the playful round robot that perfection isnt everything.
This is basically how every playtime goes when you have a younger sibling... You build something only for them to tear it down..
I love how they are different but they compliment each other
I really don't know why such amazing contents never go viral and unworthy clips go viral in hours. Appreciate the work buddy, wish i saw this earlier.
To Destroy Something you must first Make Something
No Animated Short without a Moral
No audience without a guy revealing 'the message'.
@ no slight profound comment without "haha dumb comment" guy
I am just blown away by how oddly realistic this looks! The lighting, movements, reflections, everything! It’s amazing, and super sweet.
I LOVE the reflections, the inertia of motion, and overall design of everything. My only criticism is that both robots sounded like an electric screwdriver to my ear. But as a musician, maybe I’m just being oversensitive. ;) I‘m still amazed at everything else you managed to achieve in this wonderful short! ❤️
XDDD
same as vegans, gotta say you're a musician
He likely actually used electric screwdrivers for sound lol. But I kind of agree
that is exactly how a servo sounds tho
that's just preference of tone/pitch or something, it's actually more than very well done, these are very dynamic sounds imo, fitting the little movements quite interestingly in what seems to be an appropriate sound-to-object-to-movement relationship. I think Celine Dion sounds like shit, but does that change her actual level of professionalism? My ears just don't like what they hear when she opens her mouth to sing however go ask any singer what they think of her and they will tell you she's the Queen or some shit
I imagined lego motors 😂
Amazing short film! The animation is really smooth! Great job!
Everything about this is perfect. The pacing, the characters, the emotion, the physics. Mate it's beautiful!
the lighting is beautiful
This was really impressive, the art was immaculate with great attention to detail, the sounds fit perfectly and the plot was an interesting concept that leaves the audience with various ideas of what it could mean. Fantastic!
it's amazing how much you can express with such a simple design (in terms of modelling, the animation must have taken ages)
Wow, oh my god this is amazing. I can see how hard you’ve worked on this. Keep up the great work!
Great work! Fantastic use of reflections and light
Thank you kindly!!
@@Polyfjord why cant you just help people in learning this stuff..??
@@surajpreetham3107 why can't you just, learn it yourself.
@@bj124u14 heyy we don't have time , but have interest.
And sound
You are pretty good at materials + lightning! Grat work!
The only more complex material is one the metal ball. The other ones are quite simple
Grat??🤣u mean “great”
No but seriously wal.E doesn’t even have a good a plot as this
OMG AND WHEN HE YELLS AT THE OTHER ONE EEEHHHHH
@@melvin3509 What is the metarial?
Order versus chaos. Production versus destruction. Building versus destroying. Robots are capable of both. That's why robots need to be able to communicate with each other.
Thrilled to see the final full result, this was adorable!
Probably a reach, a pretty deep one lol, but was the overall theme inspired in any way by the Buddhist practice of drawing Mandalas? They draw these huge, intricate geometric patterned designs using various colored powders and then mess it all up, to symbolize the creation-destruction cycle. The duo seem to enjoy the same practice of stacking up blocks and tumbling them down at the end.
Thank you!!! Wow that's a beautiful take on it! I haven't heard of it before, but it sounds great nevertheless. Sometimes you must appreciate the perpetuity what you can do, instead of just looking back at what you have done!!
@@Polyfjord Perpetuity? or ephemerality?
@@Polyfjord in truth all you wanted to do was physics simulations, didn’t you?
@@banegasn authoritaahh!!!
The amount of education, experience, time and practice that went into making this is to me, simply astounding. Superbly well done.
The visuals, the story, the sound design, and the characters.....all utterly beautiful. Many thanks.
Amazing. Amazing design, amazing storytelling, amazing sound design, amazing lighting, amazing materials. Amazing execution. Woah.
In the end, was Wall-E vs BB8. Love how the blocks aren't perfectly straight like at the end, made me think that they were stacked for real by a robot!
English teachers would absolutely adore this film and all its symbolism, characterization and all that jazz
5:00 I LOVE HOW HE TURNS AROUND THAT IS SO DAMN ADORABLE
Not a single word said not a single expression used and still managed to tell a story beautifully. Great work
both robots are beautiful and the movements are a pleasure to watch. congratulations, this is stunning quality for a graduation project.
You‘re the shit man. Besides the Great relfections, materials and sound design, the characters emotions and expressions are out of this world. You’re gonna make it big in the game one day for sure!
It is so cute! The sound effects are amazimg to. So awesome that you did this all with blender as well.
Wow! That was just awesome!
It's amazing how the expressions and emotions are very clearly shown without faces
Needs to be shared more❤️ every blender user can see the efforts behind these minutes❤️ GreAt work Sir❤️ Appreciated ❤️❤️
Amazing work! Congratulations for your graduation!
How did wall-e get so rich
(edit): im kidding this is just amazing!!
So cool! AMAZING JOB! Love the reflections and use of sound here!
Ah, yes… the endless war between cubes and spheres!
Ammmmaaaaziiiing!!!!
I loved how realistic the plot and emotions were!
A truly beautiful and outstanding experience honestly!
The rendered materials and set up of cameras was extremely attractive and satisfingly cinematic
You have my sincere respect and admiration
When the robot saw is own block version getting destroyed, i felt that.
One loves to build, other loves to destroy. They compliment each other and benefit from the other. Very nice.
OMG this is so cool! Amazing job. Sharing this with my friends...thank you!
It’s amazing what can be done with Blender’s default cube.
Nice job!
Thanks man!! Agreed, it’s the best starting point anyone could ever ask for!
All of the shots were so good and the composition was amazing
Great film dude. You're going places :)
MMM! That sound design is AWESOME!
This could be a disney pixar short like on disney plus. incredible work, flawless animation
I love it! I like the theme, I can feel the robots emotions, I smiled at the end
Really good jobb mate, keep it up would love to see more
This is really creative and delightful! ❤️
Thanks so much!
The most Awsome and Satisfying animation i have ever seen made from Blender!
Incredible! I love the characters! Excellent work.
I love this! The glare and the lighting seem very professional!
Can we all take a moment to reflect on the fact that we live in a world where something like this can be created on FREE software? In the eyes of our forefathers, we truly live in an age of magic.
Amazing!!! Such great attention to detail. Love it!!
Brilliant, I love it!
I love how you expressed many emotions just with a * clink clink *
this is where all the default cubes in blender go after they've been deleted
Lol
Wonderful!!! I love the spinning wheels and your timing of the animations. Render time must have been like...2 years! 🤩
I was like, 'why didn't they give him rubber wheels?!' Lol
This is where all the deleted default cubes go.
Polyfjord still loves his glass material
Great work. The whole design has a very lovely esthetic to it.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT!
Awesome work! i really enjoyed it.
Ah yes the duality of man. The two choices.
Stack?
Or knock down?
That is the question.
It's a lot more fun to do something as simple as stacking blocks when you're doing it with someone else. I loved the part where the smaller robot just pretty much punted the large marble away at the behest of the larger one lol
A team both fulfilling their purpose.
wow. Blown away by how good this is. Exceptional work. Really amazing. Couldnt find fault with any of it.
Thanks man!!
conflict/constrast to extreme cubistic in a funny classic theater movie... made w cubes... brilliant ! cheers from Rio
Story of every big brother young brother ever.
love all you short films，you are funny guy
This is adorable!!
Very well done. Beautifully animated. Lovely story.
Great work!! Thanks for sharing : ^ )
Now you're making short movies. Wow! You're are actually growing.
This video inspired me to get into blender, it was a bit over my head and I gave up. Making mesh import mods for Battlefront 2 got me back in and getting 2.8 helped immensely. (I put 2 mods in videos in this account.
Anyways thanks for getting me into it!
My cat used to do this, it would look at you while it slowly pushed a glass of water towards the edge of the table next to the bed, and would push it on the floor if you didn't get up to feed it. It was so funny
Magnificent sound design Magnus!
Beautiful !
Whoaaaaaa! This was amazing!!!!!
Wow, blender for this! Incredible!
Wow, what an amazing work!
Fantastic!
Been looking forward to this
that was amazing, great job
Poor guy, the balls destroyed all his towers of cube
Characterisation absolutely on point!
Visually stunning!
[angry servo whirring]
Wow! So beautiful!
This is awesome, great story telling.
My life in a nutshell. This is masterpiece.
AMAZING. OUTSTADING. I am your old fan dude. Amazing work.
That's a supee good job, keep it like this!
This is really awesome
Well done !
This gives me WALL-E vibes so badly. It just looks so noice.
