[@milan.mishra10]

I love this nerdforge format. It's lovely to see you implement it here within blender 😂

[@Polyfjord]

Agreed!! Hope I didn't copy them too much in this video. Just got so inspired when you can see the progress so easily!

[@IzzyIkigai]

​@@Polyfjordwait are we referring to the "X vs Y vs Z amount of resources" format? I mean.. That's.. Kind of an old thing. We did that as kids in high school in arts and music classes. I wouldn't call "giving yourself progressively more resources to see the outcome" necessarily anyone's specific format. I mean, the UK even did that with colonies :'D

[@bUildYT]

hey poly, how do u do these timelaps szenes in blender? never seen that before and i neeeed that so much!@@Polyfjord

[@Polyfjord]

@@bUildYT I used a blender addon called Timelapse Tool

[@bUildYT]

@@Polyfjord i see, thats very very cool, will use it too, u r amazing and a great inspiration, thx for ur videos!

[@DownDance]

I love that format. I especially like that it shows that modelling isn't as quick as one might think. It gives me motivation, because as a beginner modeller (I have experience with Blender, but not with modelling that much) everything seems just to be slow when modelling something with high quality (when you compare it to e.g. creating materials).

[@Enceos]

You're probably the most qualified person to tell us how much time it takes to model each spaceship in Star Citizen.

[@Kreezyouttahere]

yeah you also have to model the interior which means you either spending at least 100+ hours

[@P0wxG0d]

[@achilles-live]

Yeah no, for as much as I love Polyfjord, this is nowhere near close even the design style of Star Citizen. Let's just say spaceships are not his strong point.

[@EpicOD11]

@@achilles-live I Agree. These are more like No Mans Sky spaceships as far as design and style. Star Citizen is on a completely different level

[@jwr6796]

I'm not an artist, I'm a software developer... but i really identify with the way in which you spent so much time thinking about landing gear and ended up with a final product with no landing gear.

[@LifeAsANoun]

everything started out looking goofy af, but each time they turned out simply top notch. you're on a different level. highly inspirational. great work.

[@sparky-xz1nb]

i have to say i agree. however the stage being outside of the space ship seems odd as well as the rails. assuming that the majority of the time the ship will be in space.

[@newrockboy1553]

I’ve seen your instagram posts on your spaceship project and I swear the level of detail is insane, it boggles one’s mind😂

[@c016smith52]

I am so blown away by the 10-hour one, at like 18 minutes in and have to pick my jaw off the floor. Polyfjord's ability and creativity are beyond my imagination, so I just have to watch and be impressed. :)

[@TheFLYHiGHx]

it's unbelievable how good your blender workflow is, extremely inspiring and great to look at!

[@stache_obj]

i wish there existed accessible technology that i could just take a tour of the gigantic ship coz it looks absolutely huge and beautiful i must say. 100 hours seems like a long time but not even close enough time i'd need to make such a ship from scratch. amazing work as always!

[@diirrtydubcakeZ]

Star Citizen dude. There's some pretty massive ships in game, one took me half hour to walk around and I'm still discovering new rooms on it

[@G2bb101]

I love watching people model on blender because it's so fluid, almost like an extension of your mind and hands.

[@Polyfjord]

It definitely feels like that sometimes!!!!! And then other times it just doesn’t flow at all

[@Avetho]

The general style of the second one really gave off the feeling of a society that got so advanced at physics and technology that it was more pertinent to make cool and aesthetic designs, but the 100 hour design was just absolutely gorgeous. It really makes me want to get used to Blender's hotkeys and learn them so finding the tools doesn't interrupt my workflow :P

[@nathanfox5861]

Ah yes the space ship that has an exposed deck you can walk on and enjoy while cruising in space

[@Mykolai_Vasylyovych]

"If this was made by atrist - engineer will cry".

[@complex_city]

lets uh i uh maybe we can say its for when they enter the atmosphere and it becomes a glorified plane until landing

[@tjport576playz8]

I'd imagine that it has one of those screens that the fighters leave and enter though in star wars. but clear.

[@onlyfacs]

there is something called spacesuit

[@jaypaint4855]

Ah ok gotta go get some fresh air

[@ЕгорДемьянец-р4л]

Oh, my God, I'm just speechless! This is unbelievable! You're an inspiration to continue learning Blender.

[@scoruluce]

If there are people who are interested in how to create a time lapse like at 15:59 , he used an addon called "Timelapse Tool"

[@Actually_saif]

Had this exact same question. Thanks a ton !

[@rudolf_box8440]

Just a little thing I would like to add with the final 100 hour build I find those luxury apartment/room kinda things arnt in the best place right under the thruster but I see why you did it because it makes the build pop. Great job!

[@SentoHvn]

That’s exactly what I was thinking!

[@DenimPirate]

Dude the timelapse footage of the viewport is SO cool!

[@pZq_]

how do you achieve it?

[@Polypal3D]

@@pZq_ Drag the corner of your viewport to duplicate it. Then hold down SHIFT and drag the corner of the duplicated window you want to have separated from Blender. After that move this floating viewport to another monitor. Now in OBS Studio record this monitor while working.

[@Heisenberg48346]

@@Polypal3D but how do you think he was slightly rotation around the object while filming?

[@Polypal3D]

@@Heisenberg48346 he made a camera following a circle path (or every kind of path) while having a constraint (track to) an empty object. If you do this the camera will always point to the empty while moving. You can move this empty where ever you want to have your fucus. He recorded this camera view in the second monitor while working with the key animation started. The camera movement must be very slow to have this slightly movement. In post you do the speed up.

[@drzigzag8985]

Damn that is so good, making a spaceship in 100 hours. Starting with simple cube. Also using drone footage with video tracking on a laptop. All the way to the finished result Polyford you are the Man.

[@serenarose54]

This is unreal man! Its like something straight out of a movie! I always love to watch a pro at work. Thank you

Norway just looks so great! That spaceship in the end was SO detailed! Insane stuff.

[@just_mikeyiguess]

16:25 Could you please make a tutorial on those trails? That's so damn cool.

[@MrMaa2007]

Im a game developer, i made the game dominating the skies on opera gx, at one point i wanted to create the space ships for my game in 3d even though the game is 2d, but my 3d skills were not enough for me, and so this video was very interesting to see, i was impressed by how much you are advanced in making 3d ships, this must took you a lot of time to get this fluid, really great job

[@sebasgovel]

This videos are always so relaxing and as a blender user, when you actually understand what is going on is so interesting Btw: breathtaking views 2nd edit: what a beast of a laptop, the few times I've tried to do motion tracking, my PC goes crazy slow, and I can't believe you managed to do that in the middle of a mountain with an actually portable laptop, I know it's not a complex scene, but still impressive

[@KeefyKat]

I'm surprised you didn't start with a rough sketch. It's such a valuable part of the design process, I think it could have improved the design by significant margins.

[@Phenrex]

This is amazing! I really like how each of the ships grew with the scale of the time invested! Also, not going to lie, I find the idea of having premium apartments with thrusters directly above to singe your hair deeply amusing.

[@rakushaaan6844]

Im absolutelly stunned by this guy s creativity and skills. Incredible renders

[@Ebrahim.11.]

Bro made in one hour what i have done in my blender 2 year journey, keep up the good work always ❤

[@Polyfjord]

Honestly, the first hour of the first spaceship was a lot more difficult than the first hour of the 100h spaceship. Just practicing those two times made a huge difference!! So I wouldn't be discouraged! (Also I should add that doing jumpcuts and timelapses makes stuff appear *a lot* more impressive than it felt like actually modeling)

[@Ebrahim.11.]

@@Polyfjord Yeah the final one was astonishing and more different. And i look forward to your upcoming unique ideas

[@Penub-Bubbwer3377]

You should create a complete crash course of blender which I would 100% watch, learn and enjoy. There are a lot of blender creators and many tutorials and crash courses, however your style, pace, effort is exceptional so you creating a crash course would be a G which I would most likely 100% commit to and watch.

[@MichaelMaurice]

That was insane. Loved watching the process! Could you also make any sort of megastructure? I'm currently learning Blender and excited about working on big buildings tbh :D

[@mikalaybourn]

The way you just do it out of nowhere. Just letting your imagination flow. And no problems like I know from graphic design, where I sit like "ugh, how would I do this most efficiently..." I was already impressed with the 10 hour version - loved the night environment and animation in that one. But the detail in the 100 hour version?!?! Holy crap!!

[@hydra5758]

Whilst it looks incredible, I think walking balconies and an outdoor amphitheater are interesting choices for a spaceship. Imagine slipping off in low orbit and falling thousands of feet; in open space, you would potentially just float away. Also those jets would probably make some of those sections kind of toasty. Feels in many ways more like a hovering cruise ship than a true space faring vessel, but that's fine, still looks jaw-dropping.

[@logicme847]

Imagine, 3000 years from now, someone will be building your Space Cruise Ship for real 😅 Congratulations Polyfjord, it is stunning. And those timelapse recordings made a huge impact on the end result. It really shows the effort and determination to bring your creation into the real world and make it feel alive👍 A lot of people are taking this kind of work for granted so this shows the reality behind the scenes. Also loved the open "Arena" where your character was making like a joy dance 🤩 This will certainly bring inspiration to all new and experienced Blender users. Keep it going and keep having fun ✌️ I'm wondering what you would have done in 200 hours 🤔😉

[@amin1mrx965]

That wouldnt be possible, beacuse of the design of the ship. This isnt boat but a space ship and while he was making this he didnt do enough research on spaceships in my opinion to make this a realistic spaceship that could work.

[@ssilverleopard]

I love this idea and you did a really good job, it’s amazing! Side note: if anyone here has read or seen The Expanse, the cruise starship reminds me of the Nauvoo. It’s the perfect incarnation of the ship (in my opinion, better than the show did although not as accurate because it can’t spin)

[@keshar-w]

Hi Polyfjord, awesome content, liked it a lot. Just a small thing though- when i saw you get the idea of railings, and relate it with cruise ship railings, this point came to my mind - “but spaceships are meant to be driven in space, and sustain high temp while entering atmosphere, so why/how would anyone stand near the rails. personally i’d like to watch outside from a spherical window/futuristic pod attached to the main spaceship than standing near the railings in a spacesuit”

[@Polyfjord]

Good points!! This spaceship - The SS Corintheon: Cathedral Class Luxury Cruiser - is designed to visit up to 32 galaxies per season. So the outside area is strictly allowed for specific planets where the atmosphere is breathable, and temperature within the safe limits for your species. Please ask the crew to see the onboarding brochure for more information about the approved atmosphere and temperature ratings for your species!

the last ship looks really cool, and idk if this was intentional, but it looks like a cruise ship

[@faradaysinfinity]

One of the best ways to make a spaceship look massive, is focusing on the windowsill, because window scale is something that almost everybody understands even large, like more like feelings of floor, so windows able to grasp the concept of that, and when you put roses of the Haiti windows on a large cruise liner spaceship, or just a large station in general, and gives the perspective of how big it is because we understand the concept of window scaling to human scale

[@Maarten-Nauta]

Goodstuff, if you want it to feel big and real it needs some grunge detailing in the textures and then its perfect!

[@kummer45]

This gives you an idea how much work is required in video games. It’s just not modeling. It’s modeling, illumination, animation, stage design, rendering and scripting. Yes these guys are overworked and underpaid. The level of sophistication requires a ton of architecture, animation, visual scripting, coding and a ton of knowledge in discrete geometry. The average work of animators are 1,000 hours for a true satisfactory result. This includes research, development and construction of tools for a particular result. These programs are getting deeper and more complex demanding constant education on the practitioner. Thank you so much illustrating the painful process of geometry modeling and animation.
