Create Satisfying 3D Animations | Easy Blender Tutorial 

3:23 for me it was hit A to select all E then S took me for ever to figure that out

You could have included a 10 sec donut tutorial, and use that donut as the ring in this animation.

It would be funny if you enabled physics and make them collide after a few swings.

6:20 What's really satisfying that you paused on the exact frame, so that both spheres are perfectly lined up.

You can use Shift+X/Y/Z to exclude an axis when scaling and such, too. So S, then Shift+Z, will scale on X and Y only.

To extrude the circle like he did, while in Edit mode, press E and then S.

At some points sound goes ahead of video a little bit that's why sometimes it's hard to sync what author says and shows. 02:07 Press S, shift+Z in order to scale only along the z axis 02:48 After Circle is added, Press R 9 0, R Z 9 0. 02:56 S and pull with mouse. 03:02 Press A being in Edit mode, Ctrl+R, Select vertex, G, G, pull with mouse. 03:21 Select all with A being in Edit mode, press E, S, pull with mouse. 03:55 Select in Object mode, press TAB to go to Edit mode, keep cursor over the upper edge, press Ctrl+R, click on newly appeared yellow edge and pull it with mouse. If additional update is needed press G, G and pull with mouse. 04:11 To split window move cursor at areas crossing (on left top or right top), press left mouse button and pull. 04:29 Select Frame 1, Press "record" button, Select sphere, Press R 3 0 04:37 Select Frame 120, Select sphere, Press R - 6 0 04:49 Set limit 240 frames 04:54 Select Frame 1, Shift+D (creates copy), move right at frame 240 05:36 Pay attention that it depends on you project, for example, in my case it is Y not X (Euler Rotation must be not only visible but also selected). 06:06 Make sure frame 120 is selected, Press A to select, G, Y, 9, 0 08:32 Shift+Ctrl+T 09:45 To add camera if it is absent - select Add(the one which is pressed when new object is added) -> Camera. View -> Cameras -> Active Camera (Numpad 0). Rotate Camera - R. Move Camera R, R. Move Camera - G. 10:43 In Blender 2.83.4, 2.83.5, 2.83.3 it does not work for second ball and the ring. I do exactly the same as for the first ball but texture is just not loaded. It only worked after I installed Blender 2.80. 11:40 F12 - at least one rendering is mandatory so image would appear in Compositing 240 frames (2560*1440) rendering took me around 2h (~35 seconds per frame, GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER + Core i5-9600KF 3.7GHz). ffmpeg was used to make 40 seconds video just within couple of seconds. ffmpeg -safe 0 -f concat -i list.txt -c copy output.mp4 list.txt: file '0001-0240-1.mp4' file '0001-0240-1.mp4' file '0001-0240-1.mp4' ... Whole project took me around 16-20 hours I guess (it's my second Blender project). P.S. It seems author has its own meaning of easy because in my world it is not easy at all ;) I am not a professional but just an amateur who wants to spend reasonable time and be able to draw some interesting things. Having this video 5-10 minutes longer would allow to save tons of hours for thousands of visitors ;) P.S. 2 Anyway I love this project and thank you very much for having it public even with such level of complexity!

I have no idea what's going on, but it was satisfying and I watched until the end.

0:25 yep please do a tutorial on this type of rendering

3:38 for those who have a weird looking inner shape of the circle ... just change the solidify mode from "simple" to "complex" and here u go

3:15 "Ctrl+R then double-tap G", I figured it's "Ctrl+R" (Loop Cute), then 2 left clicks to confirm, then move the loop-cut vertex along the edge by double-tapping G (Vertex Slide)

Tip: 0.75 speed.

It's also super satisfying to see a good tutorial with a guy talking in a normal way and explaining the important steps in detail instead off all those new tutorial guys talking in a weird way, pressing their steps into a one minute "tutorial" or doing a timelapse video that has 40 steps in one second without screencast keys turned on. Thanks a lot.

Me: trying to follow all the tutorials. 2 minutes later: something that I can't do appear and end doing everything different and worse than it should be 😂.

If someone having problem at ( 8:45 ) . Select the principal BSDF and press ctrl + shift + T. Make sure you have enabled node wrangler in addons. And don't Select the zip file only the jpg. Thank you If any further information ask me

"Let's delete the lamp, just to give the cube a bit of company in the trash can" 😂

9:45 for those who don't have a numpad, go to View > Align View > Align Active Camera to View. This would be the same as that

Wow this is so easy and yet I feel like a pro!

This was incredible. I wish I had all your Blender knowledge available for download into my brain. Thank you.

Just LOVE THAT!!!

the best thing about blender tutorials is that I click on them to follow their tutorial and then instantly start playing around myself and get some cool things done and I just love messing around with blender

If you are struggling at around 6:40, make sure you have selected all of the points in the graph editor first, this took me ages to figure out

Oh my, this is amazing. Seriously!! I actually managed to finally become one of your Patreons this month!! Is this going to be one of the files /.blends available there? You are amazing. So many tutorials. So much to learn (for us). Thank you!!

Dear CG Geek, i think this is one of the best Blender tut on the whole internet. Thank you very much!

My very first week learnig Blender, this was super helpful, although I had some trouble to get some parts :) Thank bro!

What a flawless transition into an ad. Beautifully done. Also the tutorial was awesome!

This guy Seriously skips out on like half the stuff at least and just expects you to know

satisfying is when you know blender like he does.

Amazing tutorial as always!

amazing !!! And the realistic materials are amazing !!!!

nice would love to see more of this nice job #keepfilming

Possibly the last time seeing this intro. It has been a long way...

Love the result!!

Oh my God you're life saver, I can make my project now

Really a great tutorial let me say!!! Have you considered to make a serie of that satisfying videos? (say yes :D)

this is a really good tutorial dude, but pls slow down, at the end i was feeling a little sick, lol

It's so easy to make perfect animations instead of realistic imperfections. CGI is really fascinating

Excellent tutorial! Some great ideas there. Thanks for your help.))

Omg! I found the best teacher for blender! The best RU-vid all round channel for learning blender 2.8.! From a noob to pro explaination..thanks a lot.. really appreciate ur patience!

Hi! thanks for your videos! You say at 2:07 to press s-x and y to scale - But you have to press s and shift+z in order to scale only along the z axis!

Dude, you are the best. Thank you!

you can easily deselect an axis when moving/scaling/rotating etc. by hitting shift and that axis

you can easily control the camera by pressing "shift" + "~"

In 3:35 in blender 2.8 change the mode of the solidifyer modifier, from simple to complex

Love ur vids so i wanted to learn some blender and finally made my first video!

Learning more tricks and workflows every time I watch ya man. Nice work!

Hi CG Geek! As always some of the best tuts out there. May I ask if you could please make a step by step from A-Z Tutorial on how to make a short animated movie? Thanks man

2:36 when you will join them the origin will be in the middle and you won't be able to move the sphere with the cylinder Shift+right click on the top of the cylinder and then go to object in the top left corner and set origin then origin to 3d cursor hope it help you In 2.9 version when you solidify change it to complex in the mode if simple don't do it for you

looks so fun!

Hey, Steve. You are absolutely awesome. Keep up the good work.

Question: Why use that blue background if you're using the living room HDR for lighting? You can see the reflection of the room in the ring, but it doesn't match the blue background.

If anyone is struggling to keep up you should go watch blender gurus tutorial on the basics. It explains everything and is super satisfying to complete. It makes a project like this one more approachable.

You are the best 💪🏼

Amazing tutorial, thank you!!

the fact you keyframed the floor plane is bugging me XD

He: *explains everything in his way of understanding Me: *who just started using blender *chuckles* I'm in danger ಥ⌣ಥ

That’s awesome! Thank you!

You are BRILLIANT!

Ctrl+shift+ T i never knew!

3:26 When I try to extrude it is getting extruded in one direction, rather than extruding radially in all directions. Please Help!

You are the best at animations

I love your tutorials!!!!!

I am really grateful for your great tutorial. The only thing I can't get is rendering the vignette background. Maybe I skipped something, as I just get the 3d objects. I guess I need to add a plane in the background to be rendered.

2:50 for those who dont know. r+x+90°

it is only 14 Minutes.. this should be easy.. and at the end of the video I can only realize how good CG Geek to be able to finish this in 14 Minutes..Great Videos..

Thank you for this amazing tutorial!

is there a difference using the "image" or "noisy image" for the denoise input?

2:23 That's what she said.

Great tutorial - thanks!

unreal indeed... thanks!

0:35 That's what he said

When he said: "lets delete the default cube and the lamp so he gets a little company" made me laugh very hard!

thank you!!!!! youve earned my sub

Well, you just made brilliance look childs play! Simply clean and too awesome!

3:41 It doing some weird stuff in the inner part of my circle

3:38 thicc

super awesome ....please make more

Nice! Love it, i will be a pro following this guys tutorial!

Does anyone know why when I apply the images to the models that the texture of it is not appearing? It's coming out as one smooth color instead of the texture shown in the video. When I use the exact yellow material that he had, I am getting a lot of black lines like the texture isn't properly loading.

My mind is stuck on the twirly string mess that is happening above camera XD. Super cool animation! Nice!

Thanks for all that information!

I love how you do the animations :3

TOOOOOOOOO fast. lol I have to watch it 5 more times to get things done. Thanks for the tutorial!

Hi. Guys, how did you render your all layers? For me, it's only rendering the main scene, without background I made in compositing

Great job! You inspire me to do animation ⭐️

I've started learning in quarantine and have done a few full tutorials Andrew the guru has done which has been awesome for learning some foundations. I appreciated getting thrown to the wolves here in this video a little bit -- I learned some good tricks. It was fun trying to bridge the edge faces of my short comings so far in blender to get this done. That being said I wish I understood why I had to do some certain things to get the result I got-- unchecking the box on the viewer node being the biggest mystery to me. Thanks for making.

6:30 How does it work if there is one frame outside the start-end area? It's skipping frames in my editor and there's a point where the ball freezes because there aren't other frames in the ending part, then it snaps in the center (i have Blender v2.82a)

At 3:28 You have to use E+S to extrude like that. He missed saying that.... @CG Geek Got you bro 😉

His setup is so cool

he makes it look so easy

5:36 nothing happens when I scale it out, and the ball looks like it's bouncing off an invisible wall because it doesn't slow down at the peak of it's swing.

Bro, the Blue background is not showing in the final render.

300.000 Subs; Congrats

Thanks it was a great help

'Subdivision Surface' modifier on ring only makes ring smoother on outside, inside part of ring remains sharp. Can someone help me with this please?

stop drinking coffee. you talk too fast! lmao 😂

For anyone using a later version of blender just long press the extrude option and click extrude along normals then a yellow thing will pop up click on the ball and pull it up :)

Awesome sir 👍💪👍 thanks
