      I think it's because we are watching an artist create a work of art and it happens to be done in Blender. Others are Blender technicians explaining us how we could use Blender to make art. (OK, yes there is shades of grey, but it really feels to me that Polyfjord has the most "artistic" mindset).

  • @alexanderhandjiev2845
    @alexanderhandjiev2845 Před rokem +12

    the first modeling shortcut that pops in my head is to select all the buttons that are the same size and when they were rounded in the beginning, should have scaled by individual origins, not the default "bounding box", that way, you don't have to do the same action 9 times, just once. The other thing was on the volume button, adding unnecessary loop cuts to make a sharp edge could have been avoided by selecting the edges, that you want sharp and pressing shift+e to tell the subdiv modifier where to work. Those were my 2 cents on the topic (for now). Keep the good work!

Which makes it so much more scary that most software is developed with the purpose of exploiting that relationship.

    heres a little modelling tip for you, instead of adding reinforcement loop cuts when you want to make the subdivided edge more aggressive. you can use the edge crease in your right click menu, you can increase it and it will make the edges of a subdivision more aggressive, its better than adding reinforcement loops because its non-destructive and you can target specific edges much easier.

    Very fun to watch. It was funny to see you get that dopamine boost when it really started to get together and you started thanking us for having watched so far :). Regardless, amazing to see you create this animation so "easily", at least, made it look like as if it's not that hard to do after all. So I've downloaded and installed Blender 3.3 - now let's see :-).
