Blender Factory Animation Tutorial | Polygon Runway

[@SetMeFree]

I must say, when tutorials do something wrong first, then goes back to correct it, is such a powerful teaching technique. To present the most likely mistakes beginners will probably make and show them how to correct it before they make it, is next level. 👍🏼

[@Oscar-mr4uj]

If anyone else have this problem, Seeing vertical lines in the graph editor (axis scaling being unproportional). Hold down CTRL+MMB and move the mouse up or down to adjust. Great tutorial as always! Dont know how to put it but theyre just right. Easy to follow along with, not longwinded and satisfying results. Greatly increases your confidence in your 3D modeling ability. Thank you!

[@MiakuTestingGrounds]

Another option to consider for the box falling into the pit (so you don't have to animate it, and it looks more realistic), is you can keyframe up a rigid body simulation to kick off RIGHT as the box hits the end of the conveyor - the way to do this is 1) Make sure you apply the bool modifier to factory floor for the hole, and set the floor a 'passive' rigid body with type 'mesh' (the default collision type of 'Convex Hull' will have your box just float above the pit. 2) Also apply a 'passive' rigid body modifier to the conveyor belt 'interior' (not to the moving belt, for simplicity) - you can set the collision margin on this object to be a bit beyond the surface of belt's interior so it looks like the box collides with the moving belts instead of the belt interior. 3) for the box on the belt, make it an 'active' rigid body, and you need to keyframe the 'Animated' box as 'checked' (by clicking the little dot to the right of it when you're on Frame 1), and then, at the frame where the box should just start to tip over the edge of the belt, uncheck the 'Animated' property and make sure you keyframe it as unchecked. With this setup, the box will switch from being an animated object to a physics sim right at that frame, and it will inherit the velocity it had when it was 'traveling' along the belt in it's animation, so it will tumble off the end of the belt pretty nicely and roll into the pit. ((All of these physics options can be accessed by clicking on the 'physics' tab on the right, when you have any object selected, it's two entries below the 'modifiers' tab.)) Note as well if you do this, the center of gravity of your object defaults to your object's origin (orange dot), so if you followed this tutorial by-the-books, you get a super bottom-heavy box with the physics sim, might be fun to play with that to see how many you can stack in the pit.

At 3:00 if the plain did not stick to the curve, it's because you need to apply scale before adding the modifier. apply scale, transform then it'll stick to your plain (curve)

[@zsasz4370]

Thanks a ton man, I was scratching my head for this issue

[@СвятославРябов]

Who has a problem with the curve at 3:00 (blader version 4.1): Creating a curve: 1) When you scale the plane and move the vertex, the centre of the model does not change. 2) Therefore, after you convert a plane to a curve, you need to change the centre(origin) of the object. 3) To do this: Object - Set Origin - Origin to Geometry 4) Press Cntrl + A and apply the transformation (all transformation) Filling the curve: 1) Create a plane, scale it as you need. Apply the transformation (cntrl+A - Scale). 2) Apply Array modifier 3) In the Fit Type option select Fit Curve and use a pipette to select our curve. 4) Add edges of the plane as in the video 5) Apply the Curve modifier and use the pipette to select our curve again.

[@hdangtran]

it's worked with me. big help. tysm!

[@obiarne]

Can someone help me? (I found a solution, but it's strange). So, when I made the curve in the beginning, we dragged down the top two vertices with G + Z and that yellow dot in the center was the only thing that didn't move. But I got a nice curve. Now at 08:38 we make something similar, but this time we scale down S + Z and that yellow dot remains in the center. For him, the bevel Ctrl B + V works, but for me, it doesn't bevel the left and right edge of my rectangle. The black dots (or vertices) appear from the center and go to the four corners, but not the left and right side of my rectangle. I struggled for a while, but if I do this step and instead of scaling down along the Z-axis, I just grab the top two vertices and drag them down, (like we did in the beginning), it finally works. Can someone explain this? I'm still new to Blender. Sorry

[@lukasstech8537]

you need to do all the steps to change the figure in edit mode and then everything will work as in the video. if you make changes in object mode then the bevel will be to the central point of the figure

When I divide the width of my object by 2 in the Median X axis, like shown at 7:02, for some reason the object doesn't move all the way like on the video. It moves in the right direction, but not as far as it should. In my particular case, the width of my object is 0.476013 m, and when I divide it by two, it doesn't align properly with the reference point. I managed to figure that it's offset by 0.1, so the correct input on my Median X axis is not the division by 2, but the width minus 0.1 (so, 0.476013 - 0.1, which is 0.376013). That fixed it and made it look like what's in the video, but now I'm wondering why it worked differently with me. After investigating, I suspect the issue relies on the array modifier, where we set the Factor X to 1.100, which would make the 0.1 offset make sense. I have Relative Offset checked and did everything else like on the video. I'm on Blender 4.0, by the way. Any help?

[@Thinx_1]

Ik it's annoying how I've only now watched this vid 5 months later than u, but I solve the issue by going onto object mode pressing shift A and applying the scale. Then after doing that following the divide by 2 worked

it sounds like a complicated idea, but it seems to me very interesting to make a looped animation in which a mouth that chews gum, so that it could be seen, slurped and slipped on the teeth and as a result, a bubble inflated with lips and burst , then the animation repeats I also want to add that you are doing VERY cool! 😍

For some reason when i try bevel the plane (@ 1:58) it's making an elliptical shape instead of a round curve the u got.

So I had the same problem with the second one at 8:40. To fix the issue, press Tab to exit the edit mode, press ctrl+A then choose scale, and that should fix the issue. Now do the bevel the usual way by going back to edit mode with Tab and hitting ctrl+B then V, and it'll work as it should be. If it's still confusing google the video "How to Bevel Perfect Edges in Blender".
