Unlock the POWER of Blender's Constraints

[@DECODEDVFX]

Well, shit. I didn't mean to use the clip with the dumb joke in the intro. I filmed a second take that I intended to use, but I screwed up the edit because I was in a rush. Oh well. 😂

[@spikerama]

I didn't mind it. The dead pan made it work.

[@diptanshumistry7065]

I thought I was watching an informative tutorial and this caught me off guard. I’m on floor LMAO!

[@RyleyStorm]

We need more off hand and unremarkable moments of "did i hear that right? I need to go back and check"

[@leodegrance5609]

I think the intro joke was very apt. After all, marriage is the ultimate constraint....

[@WaterShowsProd]

That ball rig was a clever trick. Could definitely see uses for that.

[@Fryzlr]

I've been working in Blender for years and after this video, I don't understand how I never really got into constraints. They really are powerful, i'm mindblown. Great video, will definitely simplify and expand my workflow. Thank you

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thank you. This is exactly why I made the video. I used blender for a few years before I really touched constraints. They are ridiculously helpful in many scenarios.

[@richardconway6425]

Drivers and constraints. Two of the most powerful tools in blender, and a bit neglected by instructors, I think. But thanks for this.

[@vizdotlife]

Thanks for all your great content on Blender. I enjoy it. One thing I love about Blender is we could spend an entire lifetime learning the tool and ecosystem, and still probably know less than 1% of what can be achieved. I took the leap about a year ago and I'm so glad I made the decision to give it a go.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks. Blender is a vast program. I've used it since 2017 and it has lots of tools I've hardly touched.

[@NestGFX_]

Incredible knowledge being spilled in this video, amazing job on this one, so well put together!!

[@NotSoMuchFrankly]

Love your channel and am a subscriber, but if you could temporarily slide up your Interface>Resolution Scale in the preferences when you're showing these small number settings in the interface, it'd make it a lot easier to follow on my 41" monitor.🥺 I know it might look cartoonish to you at a slightly larger size but I'd be super grateful.🤗

[@mytube001]

I would add that follow curve is great for animating a camera as well. That's what I use it for most of the time.

[@thekingofmars8858]

Great video. Really useful stuff. Would love a more detailed tutorial going through a relatively complicated constraint setup.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Noted. I've made some fairly convoluted constraint set-ups in my time. Mostly to avoid mechanical rigging.

[@richardconway6425]

@@DECODEDVFX to be honest, I would prefer to see the most efficient/effective solution for any problem, rather than being just complicated for the sake of it. There's so much to learn in blender, I just instinctively always search for the simplest, most effective solution.

[@Igoreshkin]

Very informative and usefull video. Thank you.

0:26 the check if we're paying attention

[@martingudim8866]

Thank you for that! Very useful stuff 🙌

Action - reaction and the amount of it between them. 😊

[@anzaklaynimation]

Very nice. What are your PC specs?

[@DECODEDVFX]

Ryzen 5950x, RTX 4090, 32GB DDR4 RAM, 3TB SSD, Arctic Liquid freezer II CPU cooler.

[@hhofmannandroid]

I have completely overseen your interior course. Looks good, but only 10 people buy it ? Great that you will improve it.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Thanks. I'm not sure where you are getting the number 10 from though. It has sold a lot more copies than that.

[@hhofmannandroid]

@@DECODEDVFX I see it on Blendermarket : Sales 10 +. I'm amazed about that low sells, because it looks like a geat tutorial.

[@richlasma]

was the thumbnail AI?

[@gingerdog8203]

It looks like it

[@richlasma]

@@gingerdog8203 I have a rule about blocking all channels using AI thumbails, but since this is a CG channel I want to really conirm before blocking it, I love this channel but the rules must apply to everyone

[@DECODEDVFX]

@richlasma it's possible. I got this from a site I usually trust for stock images. I didn't know they'd started to accept AI stuff. I'll try to change it but I'm not home right now. Edit: it's gone.

[@graphguy]

@@richlasma Are you serious?

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

What was it?

[@ragibrahman9594]

as a blender user do you think blenders simulations rival houdini?

[@DECODEDVFX]

Not really, no. Simulations in blender have always been amongst its weakest points. Although things are improving now that geometry nodes support simulations.

[@ragibrahman9594]

@@DECODEDVFX so, what your saying is in the future blender will be as good iif not better than Houdini? in terms of simulations i mean

[@dodatkidominecrafta4762]

I have a question i am making the tank chassic and is it possible to make an offset relevant to the position of other cube? in the "follow path" constraint i would be very useful

[@porthmeor1]

Solid video...but my OCD kicked in when I noticed the door stop!...placing it there will lever the door off it's hinges..lol...sorry 🙄

[@DECODEDVFX]

lol. It's a triple hinge solid wood door. It'll be fine unless you slam it.

[@porthmeor1]

​@@DECODEDVFX LOL...I can feel an animation coming on! 🤣

[@jamesschaefer9554]

Thumbnail has nothing to do with video contents. I’m unsubscribing.

[@DECODEDVFX]

It's a picture of gears, which are a common use case for constraints. I'm not exactly sure what sort of thumbnail you think I could use for a video about constraints.
