Thanks for watching!

[@theworldsworstperson]

Suggestion, not sure if this helps; You should update your title with a series name so people know it's apart of something you are making like "PolyFjord Randomizer | Creating a Magical Caramel Creature" or something similar, but great work regardless this is great!

[@bhabesh12]

Yeah i agree this is a good idea

[@Polyfjord]

Hey!! Thanks for the suggestion :) Perhaps it could make it more clear that it’s not a tutorial? I’ll try it!!

[@erik....]

@@Polyfjord You say it's not a tutorial but it kind of is anyway.

[@Kellexar]

the art teacher: The creature's glowing arm bands represent the oppression even when amongst the free beings around them polyfjord: wouldn't it look cooler if this one had glowing rings lmao

[@ScientObject40]

You are my favorite Blender tutorial creator of the entire community, the way you come up with unique techniques and explain things so magnificently, I can't get enough of it. Please never stop. 1-80-2.

[@dwnsdp]

what does 1-80-2 mean

[@Dark0neone]

@@dwnsdp probably their signature.

[@lycheemus]

The answer is -81

[@MatthewNovoselskiy]

Love this series!!

[@johntnguyen1976]

You're the only blender tutor who I can look at the length of your videos and get more excited the longer they are. Super rare...for me at least. Great tut btw!

[@afonsoferreira1701]

36:52 I feel like it would be interesting to get rid of the stripes on the tunnel, and do 6 of them with 6 creatures. Those stripes go all the way to the light, to the infinite, and they can be caramel coloured and lightened, like energy popping out of it. Then the creatures follow the path of the stripes like a train. When they connect to their respective path they lighten up, like they are charging their magical powers.

[@Ooljemusic]

I’m

[@wilhelmeniabilliedoherty5917]

The final render is genuinely, sincerely beautiful in the truest sense of the word. I love it. Thank you for sharing the whole process with us, warts and all; it really helps to see people we look up to as being human too.

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you for this amazing comment!! It really means a lot

[@ZatriX_ZA]

Abstract + Creature + Caramel + Utopian - Magical - Love the way you play with ideas though!

[@waltuhtheknocker]

Hey mate u should definitely make more kinda videos like this... i loved the diamond robot video and i hope you keep on making this kinda amazing and entertaining stuff like this!

[@dialNforNinja]

"If anyone out there thinks you aren't good enough, you are." I'm not sure if that was the best or the worst thing to hear tonight, but the project I was going to give up on is getting at least another day of effort now. It's definitely an "I want too much" situation, given that I ran with the April Fools joke of a gacha-RPG based on the users and tropes of a forum I follow as if it was a serious project. Also, I have to say that I love the premise of a magical caramel creature, but I am absolutely reading that as some kind of enchanted candy golem.

[@urdadacrypto3044]

This guy's criminally underrated, idk why KZbin stopped giving him reach after that Spiderman video, this really sucks that people couldn't discover this hidden gem, and yeah, maybe you could teach us how to make that word sequencer thing

[@goatpepperherbaltea7895]

Lol he’s not criminally underrated he literally has the most viewed blender tutorial by an insane landslide and is one of the most subscribed blender teachers

[@bhabesh12]

half a million subs and consistently getting near or over 100k views on normal videos and 1M+ on tutorials isn't really underrated haha, I think he's got the second highest subscribers after BlenderGuru (the donut guy)

[@lucaspawprint1888]

It feels like a group of air or water creatures that you would wish to pet and interact with but you actually wouldn't want to touch because it might burn your hand. As for the theme, I think that putting them in a tunnel doesn't work as since it looks like they are being held in one place. You can see it in the close up; it sort of feels like it wants to move out, but has to circle around the edge of the wall to keep swimming. I like the idea that only one has the lights; it reminds me of colonies that have a different pattern for the king or queen of that colony.

[@jakubszarpak3259]

This series is so inspiring!!! 😍

[@DerekElliott]

dude. so cool

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks man!!! 🙏🏻

[@VideoProfessional]

you are the best blender youtuber i've ever come accross, you share the truth i need to hear about 3D. Thank you for giving me so much value!

[@earthmatters2869]

For your support I don't skip ads again thank you for teaching us 🙏🙏🙏

[@klaus9356]

I absolutely love that you make personalized intros in blender!

[@user-vz6uf4po8z]

Everything you say and do is incredibly easy, smart and beautiful. Don't stop. The world loves you.🥰

[@TheDragonBoiYT]

can't tell you how much I love these videos! Keep up the good work!

[@MuzikMann96]

Okay, I just want you to know that I appreciate you so much. I actually turned notifications on for KZbin JUST so I could ring your bell and follow you and this series. Thanks for being so great 😄

[@Colliervideo]

I love creating along with you!

[@synkro_nyze]

Keep up the series! I love watching the actual work style of professional creators, it shows how y'all create beautiful results, no matter what you have to work with, and you always get over any speed bumps along the way. Nice work!

[@420bobby69]

Thanks for keeping in the struggle cuts. Watching an artist I respect work through feeling "stuck" was way more valuable than seeing a tutorial.

[@ARDIZsq]

I really love the creature design. It reminds me of the Null Guardians from Ben 10 in a way. Watching all of them float around gives me an ethereal sort of feeling. It's super strange, yet calming.

[@valovanonym]

I looove these challenges! We can even pause the video and try to do something on our side!

[@senthilvelan7490]

i really appreciate that 1/3rd of the video is just you trying your best to come up with something other than nothing.

[@ScientObject40]

I really needed to hear that at 12:34. I'm going through some rough times mentally, and this really hit me in a good place.

[@cvrkii]

Thank you for being so inspiring and motivational, and for not editing that part out when you got stuck, and capturing that struggle we all feel when we stop believing in ourselves. You help the community even more that way, not just amazing tutorials and everything else you do and are really good at it. I'm writing this just because I believe that you deserve more credit for that. That inspiration helped me a lot in my blender career. Thank you again for everything.

[@remainingcube]

Unlike other KZbinr the thing i love about you is that you feel more human , more relatable, the way you get stuck and try and find ways to get to the point it's really important .... I get creativity block all the time and first time i felt good about it ... You are really good with the craft and good to see how real you are ... Thanks man , got lot to learn from you

[@Mocorn]

The pure discovery process of these videos is one of the things that make them stand apart. This was a blast to watch :)

[@danemyers2520]

I think it may have been interesting to have one of the creatures pass very close to the camera, completely obstructing it, then do the cut to the original creature. Just a personal opinion, but I think what you’ve created is amazing!

[@Kurt634]

Yess I had the same thought just to add a bit more variety

[@disi_am8885]

YOOOOOOOOOOO ANOTHER FREESTYLE LETS GOOO

[@SoulTaker-wr4bn]

Love how you demonstrate the entire process, even the bad stuff. You've turned into the Bob Ross of Blender for me.

[@legionarmatay4399]

This is now my favorite series on youtube, please keep it up, this is amazing! It inspires me so much to actually try to do something creative out of nowhere! Thank you for sharing your art on youtube!

[@xXanderman]

Looks amazing.

[@Cookieface]

I think it would be a cool idea to have a giant one in the background that's really blurred while the camera focuses on the small glowing one in the centre. Or maybe they are in a very hot/underground region.

[@Dozer456123]

Wow all of a sudden when you mentioned that overwhelming feeling of doubt and anxiety when creating... That really hit me. So many times I've booted up blender only to be shut down by that exact feeling. I really really appreciate leaving that 5 minutes of struggle in the video.

[@OBryanAguiar]

Ian Hubert, CgMatter and this guy. Watching their tutorials ins't just informative, but extremely fun

[@sameeruddin]

This stuff is beyond blender , this is thinking artistically and alongside learn so many vanilla tricks ! thank you for all the work you put in! cheers

[@catallaxy]

I love your videos, even though they are not really tutorials. You have a refreshingly conceptual approach to your projects, like an architect.

[@brodiemarshall1123]

As a composer, turning these types of projects into competitions for sound designers and composers in your discord would be so much fun! Amazing video as always!

[@FaudiaxProductions]

ayyy this is an amazing to find out what project to do when you are bored

[@ostkaka8397]

I think the darkness of the foreground almost made it feel dystopian. all the other fish was swimming in the light and our protaganist was languishing in darkness ^^

[@Gibeah]

I think flat speed would make the little nudge of the main character stick out more, and if the zoom focused on the foreground characters before focusing on the main as they pass him I think it would be super cool!!

[@nocomment-23]

wow, so relaxing

[@thegeekclub8810]

This video is fantastic! It’s so rare that you get to see the full process of artistic creation, including the errors and hiccups,

[@Moocrew_]

I love that you did another one of these videos with random topics, I would love to see a type of series or playlist like this. It would be fun to also see other KZbinrs with 3D or 2D artistic ability with this kind of skill and knowledge.

[@Moocrew_]

Once I tried this idea by asking my sister to chose some of the topics on my own google sheet and here is how it turned out,drive.google.com/file/d/1YXgENxfs77Z5tmzC21iZ_5IpvRZY8kJ8/view?usp=drivesdk

[@Mocorn]

Just want to say that I popped in on this video again just to click your channel name to see if there might be a new video out. That's how much I like your content :)

[@patryk6769]

It's the most wholesome and conscious Blender tutorial I've seen.

[@mitchellrcohen]

You absolutely loved rolling those dice and picking those styles. Great channel! Brought me a smile

[@Kingizeekiel]

Finding your KZbin has been the best thing I could’ve done on KZbin lately

[@No_longer_human911]

I really like this series so far and I love how you have a list of things and then randomly put them together and then make it work

[@shashanksingh9249]

The only thing I would recommend changing is the color of the hexagons, grey-black kind of takes away the utopian feeling maybe a little bit of blue or maybe bunch of colors with color ramp.

[@MAMP5]

I really really like This series

[@tyomakes]

Contents just keep getting better and better!!!

[@Siferiax]

Loved watching your workflow, even if I'm very new to Blender. It's fun to see what the program is capable of. The creature turned out great, I love it!

[@frames-divs]

This is so much value. Thanks a lot

[@cyberjoe672]

This is my new favourite series on KZbin

[@Wendy3Dimensional]

This is an amazing video! I love seeing his work flow and the process he goes through to make this. His thought process is just so relatable. Thank you for not cutting out the mistakes. It makes me feel better and inspires me to keep going and try new things. ☺️

[@animaster360]

So this officially is a series. Nice!

[@RealMooseYT]

This series is really fun!

[@BlenderFun_]

you made my day..."if i just keeping banging my head against this wall..."...man, you are an inspiration, a great artist and my favorite tutorial maker on yt....just keep on doing what you love!!!

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you my friend!!!

[@randomtreefloatinginspace128]

5:04 "Perhaps this should be bigger ?" is a sentence that I've heard so many times in my life lmao.

[@PaulEmsley]

I've been looking forward to this. Your combination of enthusiatic tutor, technical expertise and artistic flair make for completely compellng content. Great stuff!

[@ordogemini]

Even though I rarely use Blender, I love your video concent. I watch it for pure entertainment and artistic input. Keep up your great work man!

[@fatcat5323]

this looks like a horror movie atmosphere. With the sound, dark lighting and these weird flying things which look like they're going to pierce through your body if they see you. These things are everywhere. Wtf. I like the scene, but it scares me a little.

[@ianmcglasham]

I have not enjoyed a tutorial as much as this in quite a while. Really well done. Subscribed.

[@Web3DArtist]

I love these videos!!

[@PunFortunate]

that list is actually ingenious fr

[@HRZN-xj9um]

I loved the sound design.

[@owencalleia]

Blender is a free and open-source 3D application from Blender Foundation. It has great tools for modelling, rigging, rendering, animation, simulation, motion tracking and some game and video creation options. You can also use it for low poly and UV maps. I really enjoyed working with Polyfjord to create this video.

[@salmiac-3105]

Yeeee lets gooo, this series rocks so much

[@drpogps3720]

My absolute favorite series on KZbin so far. Amazing work love the creativity 👏

[@rtollisen]

Really really nice. Norway is the obvious way forwards. I'm gonna live there...

[@karthiknallan559]

This was incredibly interesting to watch

[@CallMeVycon]

ahhhhh niceee !!! damn i love the quality of your videos 😍 always so clean

[@igoriurcenco]

imagine you make them different colors and add a strobing glow to each and that glow will light up and dim independent for each one :)

[@perialis2970]

i genuinely want to make the start of that as my desktop wallpaper

[@porttek0oficial]

Oh my god, I love this, good job Sir!

[@TomWDW1]

More!! More!! More!! This is my new favorite Blender series! And your instincts were correct, it's A utopia, not AN utopia :-)

[@GuidoGautsch]

Watching your process is super interesting and I love that you keep the lows and despair in that everyone gets, yet try to hide ☺️ Perhaps a way to make the environment feel more utopian would be to soften the hard edges of the tube, and perhaps even make them semi-translucent and light the world. Maybe a blue sky HDRI? The darkness and hard edges appear, to me at least, dystopian rather than utopian...but then again, thats entirely subjective! Thank you for making and sharing this with us 🙏💜

[@atmnwntr]

Damn, the intro and table visuals - next thing we know youre going to roll virtual dice

[@Shadab738]

That hexagon pattern was unique 👌

[@user-cn3ie1vx3b]

Wow. The end result is beautiful but honestly, i want to see a tutorial on how to create this opening titles. It's really great

[@PiginaCage]

*Makes an extruded hexagon* "Tunnels are great, I'm really glad I made a tunnel"

[@LandoLinares19]

This wa soooo cool, for a talented man like you create whatever you want this way its easy, I could do that with ehhh food, like put some fruit on top of a pancake with some mint marshmallows and grape syrup haha

[@OfficialTheOne]

best wishes! You have been selected for the Pixar Animation Studio! Good work bro!

[@Get2KnowOli]

This generator should be a website for people to challenge themselfs

[@AliGhori30]

this is a really cool series!

[@NuclearPhysix]

I am so impressed. You, young man are a genius.

[@mauromangione8833]

this was ispiring. Thank you!

[@SkinnyBlackout]

So, a couple words: an abstract style doesn't mean you have to use crappy unrealistic render engine. Also, you probably should've made the hexagons rotate slowly to add more dynamic to the background. Otherwise that's a mighty fine piece of abstract art, especially given the fact that you were forced to work with a pretty random idea. Thumb's up!

[@selenaofficial7833]

Hey polyjord !! Can you make a detailed tutorial on Camera tracking and adding 3d models in it? And other vfx stuff. I am commenting early hoping you will read it🙂

[@alpha.sigma.games_]

You can ask this question in discord server if polyfjord will not see this comment

[@valovanonym]

Default cube / cgmatter already has tons of videos about it! Like dozens of hours!

[@GuidoGautsch]

He's already made one kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2jUqopnfJhoZsk

[@yasinnabi]

woww this video is a wonderful video and pushed me to some other videos in your channel. great content. thanks for uploads. g

[@sudolisaaAJF]

WOW~ Love this , like your voice and talking way. of course skill~~~~ beginner of blender, just creating some accessory for my 3d fashion, but this will be great if I can add it to it~

[@mrfincher]

love it! I hope you make more art prompt challenge videos at some point

[@Hit_5.]

i love videos like that from you. You are one of my fafurite KZbinrs

[@keatonstewart]

Love this seires. Possibly the best I dea I have seen on KZbin for Blender users!

[@hamborgir36]

Mom: are you ok? Polyfjord: im feeling hexagons today

[@Elykson343]

when he said magical slug the first thing that came to mind was an AEON slug. props if you recognize the reference.
