I have never been so entertained while learning blender things. Thank you for all the work you put into this video because I - know - it was a tonne of work! The pacing, animations, sound effects, music, script/story telling. You ticked all the boxes for a perfect video
@@Smeaf your channel has already blown up from when I started following you a couple years ago! Glad to see all the growth, its well deserved!! I hope I can get there with my own channel one day 🙌
Eh, I feel it's over the top, espically with the attention catching video title. It feels to me like those discord videos that everyone hates. Real shame too, there are valid tips and tutorials buried under 90 million layers of edits to make it more attention grabbing
Great video as always Smeaf! One thing I have learned from hundreds of Blender tutorials is that teaching the node editor can be pretty difficult. While your method was a great and entertaining way of showing the nodes to reach your end point, it didn't leave a whole lot of room for creativity. Which is perfectly fine to show how you got to your finished result but those types of tutorials more often than not lead to just thousands of renders of poles going up and down and doughnuts on a plate. I think the best method I've seen was when the instructor showed what each node does to the texture before connecting the next node. This way we can see our progress and see where we might've made a mistake or where we can really start customizing it to our own unique result. I do love the unique method of hiding and showing materials through the alpha texture! Would using CTRL + L to link materials not work in this scenario? I appreciate the work you put into your videos and look forward to many more! Nice work!
This dude's Editing is so well done, it makes the video super entertaining to watch. he probably has the best editing style out of all of the other blender RU-vidrs.
i LOVE this man!! His videos one of the best on youtube, no boring stuff, memes!!, good microphone with good voice and incredible video editing , etc(idk more)...
you can copy the nodes needed and paste them into the next object to save some time, though you would still need to connect the nodes together, it wasn't brought up in the video so I thought I would say it, great video though.
You know you could have taken the cookie cutter nodes and turned them into a texture group then append it to every object. would've saved a lot of time.
Wait... I'm really hoping you didn't make that "water effect" noise texture all those times. You can highlight the group, press CTRL+G, name it something helpful, then it'll be there in your CTRL+A add menu. Also can you please explain WHY you use certain nodes? I have used noise to distort object coordinates before but I don't understand the second noise.
great video, great editing, great everything. Could you do video on where and how to find clients? It would be very usefull for me, but for many people too.
okzies either im silly or i cant seem to find a way to put the file in to blender but either way i really wanted to do this as i think it woulkd be a fun project to do and would love if u did some more
I think he’s talking about the pro animation is easy now (try this) video from 4 months ago, it is pretty similar least the starting of the 2 I saw in style. But still great work! I see the differences from it especially after the starts of both videos.
I love the editing for this video. You did a really great job with the graphics and music. If you don't mind me asking, what program did you edit it in?
I have a doubt! When moving the cookiecutter(empty) across the keyboard (or any other product), it is still showing some black shadows from the main product instead of completely disappearing. How to fix that ?
Smeaf, can you make tutorial on this 14:45 fabric and smooth camera animation for motion design (mainly - transitions). These will be the best tutorial on youtube!
My ameteur guess: Plane with lots of subdivisions and a cloth modifier. Use an invisible sphere as a collider with the cloth to drag it down. Physics setting can be adjusted so that the cloth has no gravity, making it look slo-mo and moving only when you move it. Not sure how exactly to get the cloth to spin like a vortex, but I would try just rotating my invisible ball.
Hey Smeaf, awesome content, awesome editing, Im hooked. This is a little offtopic but in another video you were talking about pricing freelance work. How the hell do you compete with fiverr or upworl with those prices? Im genuinely curious be ause it seems that quality of work on there is pretty good for a fraction of the prices you mentioned in the video. Cheers
Those websites are a race to the bottom. By building out his network by making these tutorials he probably attracts a very steady flow of higher paying customers at this stage. I guess its all about eyeballs. The more likes, shares and subscribers he gets the more people look to him as an expert in the field. Organic growth, something i need to work on myself in 2024
