How to Animate Terror BIrds in Blender

[@shiwakao]

i love that u can just feel the love u have for working in blender n how much fun u have w it

[@catpoke9557]

Never seen one reconstructed like this before. Definitely unique compared to the usual eagle-like reconstruction.

[@legogonkdroid7802]

Terror birds are a sick species, very cool!

[@kenttimothy]

spend time is the perfect advice

[@kritzstudio]

How good and refreshing it is to see new approaches in animation, I really congratulate you!

[@bozcy8791]

these videos are absolutely incredible. Ill be waiting patiently for your channel to blow up,

[@ToastForFunLol]

You blew up sooooooo fast

[@JacksonHayes]

Been really enjoying your videos man - you have an excellent camera presence & have a great way of explaining things!

[@jakewarr6942]

great video man, learnt so many cool new tricks!! loving these new longer form videos and that terror bird model is looks awesome

[@FilmSpook]

Thanks Jasper, you're a Genius!! 👍🏾👍🏾 Amazing Work

[@davidsimpach1093]

Please more videos like this. Its so helpful for me. Thanks

[@TLabsLLC-AI-Development]

Really well produced stuff you have here! Huzzah.

[@shortfilmstudios4715]

Great job 👍 looking forward for the tutorials 😊

[@sebastiandeleon375]

Hi! from PH. What a great video! I'm big fan of yours! Make more videos soon.

[@YTRINX]

Another great tutorial, thank you for these!

[@KimrathSao]

very interesting!!! Hope to be able to create these amazing stuff as well

[@just_connor]

I can tell just by seeing it that you never referred to any skeletals put together of the animal. I highly suggest you find some skeletals to work with, because your animation work is absolutely gorgeous and it's got me at odds.

[@catpoke9557]

Well he said it's supposed to be a GMO'd pheasant, so I think that's why it looks unusual. He showed a glimpse of one he made before that had a much more regular facial structure.

[@tanman2000]

How funny is it that I've happened to stumble upon this while writing a story featuring terror birds that I want to adapt into a film? Mine were made by injecting sterilized emus with the primordial germ cells of Titanis. There's a company planning to bring the dodo back that way, it's crazy stuff. But nice work! Love the compy, too. But would it be fine if I were to use your model as a template for my terror birds if I ever do get around to making a short film?

[@MileHiGuy95]

I'm very glad this very niche video exists. any plans to make the video for the model creation itself?

[@graphguy]

Very exciting!

[@MrTiesk]

Can I just say, as a paleo/biology nerd that I actually really like the concept of a bald head on a terror bird? We don't see that a lot but it would be very logical. Vultures have bald heads because they have to dig into carcasses. Terror birds usually hunted small prey, but would definitely eat carrion if they find it. Getting their head into American megafauna would be a lot easier with a bald head! Side note: can I just say that the acting at 5:42 is seriously on point? Like, that's better CGI/actor interaction that I've seen in some films! The way you twist there makes it really look like the terror bird is actually biting you!

[@catpoke9557]

The main reason vultures have bald heads is because they rise and fall when flying very often and need to have a good cooling and heating system to prevent temperature regulation problems. Their bald head allows them to control their temperature very precisely by tucking their head into their feathers, or pulling it out of them. Not to say terror birds couldn't have had a bald head for similar reasons.

[@dawsonboyle99]

Just subbed, find your videos fun!

[@bluehatguy]

Eyy I really like your art :D just saw your crab video yesterday and now you already did another crazy good video. Also congrats on winning the default cube challenge. oh and I really like your sweater. If you could tell me where that is from, I would appreciate that a lot :)

[@LaughterSmith]

Do you have the full, tutorial on how to make this bird and how to add yourself in? Please share the link

[@trainindia9699]

Awesome.

[@MJ12GRAVITON]

Super!

[@megalobleeprex3d]

Very nice, keep it up!

[@Sandor3D]

have you tried to make an hdri before of the location of your shot. this could help allot with the lighting and blending

[@disuko]

great video!!!

[@GaryParris]

well done :)

Cool Video

Terror birds look like chickens. Maybe they ARE the ancestor of chickens 😃

[@planckaii]

Nice work, im also working on a similar project so this was very helpful👍 I just wanted to know what fps you used for rendering this project, thanks :)

[@shootemupgaming5418]

I just started learning how to Animate and using Unreal Engine. How do I change a static mesh to a skeletal mesh so I can Animate it and how do I add bones and move them around to set them in the right place. What am I missing I been doing this all day using a dinosaur asset from sketchfab what should the file be FBX. As you can see I'm very new to all this.

[@sandeepsingh-xg1rk]

Damn boy

[@EternalTRY]

Weren't terror birds extinct precisely because the saber-toothed tiger migrated from north america to south america?

[@reeeyou]

North americans invading south americans millions of years ago smh.

[@mlguy8376]

@@reeeyou should have built a wall back then 😂

[@jacobcox4565]

No, the only species of Smilodon that was around during that time was S. gracilis, the smallest species of Smilodon. S. gracilis was far too small to compete with Titanis and other Phorusrhacids. The real reason why the terror birds went extinct is because of climate change and loss of habitat.

[@Chillestchicken]

Could you make a tutorial on the feather/fur? I don't know how to do it

[@juloslesbonstuyos]

🔥🔥🔥

[@coltynstone-lamontagne]

Oh sweet I commented on your reddit post and didn't even realize it was you😂

[@Cj_playz098]

Can you do an accurate t rex ?

[@diorcolee]

Im on a MacBook M1 pro, and I need help with allowing my MacBook to run faster, and render faster. Been having trouble having good looking renders in cycles, and eevee and been needing help. I saw you are on MacBook also, based off of the "Box Challenge" that you won, congrats also! But just looking for help on these things!

Second! 😀

You make really interesting stuff! I'm waiting eagerly for the full film

because the image has this tremendous blur, this dnoise is very loud,

Terror birds did not live during the same time as humans. But still, good vid tho

[@ee-plack9officialchannel329]

Thanks, but last the video show blender tools.
