Art Prompt Challenge: Creating a Luxurious Robot

[@jonathanhopkins8565]

You should make this a series. Probably some of the most enjoyable Blender content out there.

[@Polyfjord]

Nice!! Glad you enjoyed it!! Would definitely be possible to make this into a series, yes!

[@valovanonym]

@@Polyfjord yesssss I would be awesome! So we can also take the challenge!

[@emersonyeoman9069]

@@Polyfjord I agreeeee you should defiantly make this a series !!!

[@stormycatmink]

This has been going around the wargaming miniatures youtubers for a little bit now. Was kind of surprised to see it pop up here, but it's fun to see.

[@TomWDW1]

31:12 - When you talked about doing your favorite thing and being happy that people would want to watch it, that was really sweet. We can tell you really love this stuff - and that makes it entertaining!! I would love this as a series - roll the dice and make another video! 🙂

[@janbacer]

Right? It was so addictive, i couldn't stop watching, the video was like hipnotising

[@Jenn_with_2_N]

Haha I thought the same! Saying he appreciated us watching it, and I'm over here thinking that I appreciate that he made it! He always goes really fast, but re-watching and working out what he's doing and why is really helping me learn and understand good practices, tools, and methods in blender. I would absolutely watch this as a series!

[@umungus518]

Its kind of amazing how passion and enthusiasm are so enthralling

[@blob1349]

Is this going to be a series? I want to see more

[@Polyfjord]

I had a really fun time making it at least, so I think it might very well be yes!

[@TheHighFlys]

@@Polyfjord so awesome to hear!

[@BaoAnh-Q]

This is 3rd video I've watched. Thanks for sharing your works. a fan of Blender from Vietnam.

[@koendos3]

I just want to say that your EXR + djv workflow is really useful. I use it everyday now. Thank you!

[@Polyfjord]

That's awesome to hear!! Thanks for watching!

[@lucaspawprint1888]

This is awesome. As a complete beginner, watching you build so quickly was amazing. It's like you are fluent in 3D and I love it! As for the bot, I think it turned out great! The little flaps act like a hand or arm that allows the bot to make simple gestures. I also like the fact that it stumbles toward the mirror after waking up instead of moving in a static manner, implying it might be "tired" or just starting to move again.

[@zhorien]

Love this 'figuring out as we go' concept.. keep creating my man.

[@MrKpax10]

Just realized the movement of the Gemspider mimics your feelings - "I don't like it / hey, it's not too bad!... it's not going to be good / Looking great so far!.... I'm not sure how this is going to turn out / Aw, THIS is cool!" Life has its ups & downs - sometimes you just have to let the process unfold! THEN you can shine like a Diamond and admire your work! - Thanks and this was fun to watch!

[@kingchelios]

Probably one of the best blender video

[@filipeproenca2953]

I watched the whole video no skips, and while learning to model animate and composite in blender I feel like I’m learning a lot just by watching! Your videos inspire, entertain and make me want to jump head first in a project like this that looks really fun! Keep it up, because I’ll keep watching :)

[@Polyfjord]

Hey thank you so much!!! That means a lot

[@abrarahmed5689]

I like your way of work, please continue this way

[@harrisondorn7091]

This is unhinged and I love it. So many other Blender creators find their formula and lock into it, whether it's timelapses, "quick tips", long tutorials, and while I love that stuff it's so refreshing to see someone get into their flow. I'm imagining that every time there's a cut you're just spinning randomly around the scene, I know that's where 90% of my modeling time goes lol.

[@TariqulAnimations]

Most enjoyable blender content i have enjoyed

[@FirepithLol]

One of your most interesting videos. I'd love more.

[@SirBork]

Definitely gonna be working on this when I get home Thanks!

[@Polyfjord]

Nice! If you want to join the discord (with the link in description) you can join a challenge we're doing with this list of art prompts

[@SirBork]

@@Polyfjord oh jeez, yeah I’ll definitely try

[@ekinali]

As a a new blender beginner at the age of 68, this was the best blender "tutorial" ı've seen since. Thanks pal, keep on doing that kind of stuff for this old man.

[@markdegroot5599]

Never too old to learn... really! Keep it up.

[@thegayfae]

i watched the whole thing, it was awesome to see the process

[@Carl_Uwe]

Another awesome Video! And even tho it's 40 minutes long I wasn't bored a single one of them. Super fun to see you come up with new stuff and also the always changing motivation :)

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you my friend!! I am so glad to hear that, I was afraid it was too long! Appreciate it!

[@rr24creations]

This is probably the most entertaining 30+ minutes Blender video I have ever watched. It's not just the content and final product being absolutely top notch, but also the fact that you seem like a very genuine and authentic person. Your passion for what you do rubs off so well with me, and I'm sure it's the same for so many others, as I see this reflected in other comments. I've subscribed to countless KZbin channels, but yours is among my special list of 'ring that bell' channels where I wanna make sure I catch anything and everything you're willing to put out. Keep making amazing content for us!

[@salmiac-3105]

it amazing to see you just kind of talking to the project, with no prior knowledge on what its gonna be in the end, you just ask questions and do them and it really motivates me to do the same, i always feel like me just kind of winging it is lazy, but you have proven differently! its like the robot is actually alive in your mind hahah

[@BaronRobin]

Wow. Crazy how little details change the whole vibe to a project. I love how you're constantly changing between "I love this" and "I hate this" :D Thanks for letting us have a look at your workflow and still teaching us a lot! Unreal video.

[@applepie8143]

I love the quality of your videos!!

[@sobreaver]

Quality on so many levels oo

[@puzzlled]

man I never had any inspiration, but this ma gives me hope

[@rilleyblazer2330]

The speed at which you can do all of this blows my mind, amazing! Watching you figure things out in real time is actually also very useful and it's a lot of fun to watch you create!

[@bradm9798]

Only a new viewer, but already loving your work.

[@GrandParzival]

These videos are extrodaniarily valuable, because it helps people understand how you should approach things within a constrained environment.

[@dexter7294]

There is always something new that I learn by following your tutorials, specially the animation tricks... Thanks for teaching us.

[@ahmetmusaates7534]

31:19 i can watch this all day, keep doing what you do. love it!!

[@martinchambert9391]

Watched the whole thing and loved how you described your creating /thinking process, including the "down" times! Congrats!!!

[@Ben-h1e6f]

I can't believe that blender and your videos are for free!! Awesome work (:

[@helixjay9434]

I love how we are able to see your thought process when making projects

[@kechuanren3830]

This series is so interesting

[@koram12345]

Loved the format of this video! Was enthralled for the full 40 minutes. Definitely make this a series!

[@pastpianist]

This kind of reminds of some of Ian Hubert's videos. It's often more fun to watch someone do their craft and figure things out as they go versus a follow along tutorial of something they've already done. Big fan of these videos since we're more likely to see your thinking process

[@iamdivan7368]

You are incredible. Not just from creativity stand point, but with your skills. Watching you do all these things on a whim is honestly inspiring. Keep up amazing work!

[@TheToillMainn]

Videos like this is where you demo to people how fun a tool like Blender is when you know the basics of the software. Especially the part in the beginning giving yourself rules and limitations really works when you do work for clients as well.

[@Criticality646]

I feel like not enough people go into the details, and just show the finished product. Love the content!

[@juderogers4826]

You saying how it was cool that we were just hanging out made me feel that you really appreciate your viewers and subscribers. I liked and subscribed.

[@ChopieTheCat]

The part where you were self aware that people were enjoying watching you do a favorite hobby of yours is awesome. This is my favorite blender channel by far and I will definitely use your content as tutorials when learning blender modeling for game design. Hats off all around dude awesome work with everything.

[@Dynamo2205]

This way of moving the camera half a second after the the object you are following makes me feel like this is a scene of the office

[@Polyfjord]

Yes! The camera movement in the office is absolutely amazing. To be honest I'm probably quite subconsciously inspired by the camera motion in that fantastic series

[@ChandazaCreations]

So this is the second day I've been basically inhaling your videos, and now I'm feeling sentimental over a diamond robot you made out of Cubes and Planes. This is art.

[@raativv1949]

You're like the Bob Ross for Blender... And this format is really entertaining & informative... Hope to see more videos like this!

[@KKwiatekCreations]

You just created anamorphic lens... A great respect for you having so much creativity about optics and photorealism in Blender 👏👌

[@liamwilson98]

That bokeh trick is awesome. I was thinking "why is he doing that? you can just change the bokeh shape in the camera settings" but then this obviously gives you that more realistic, inconsistent shape to the bokeh at the edges of the frame. Fantastic trick man, thank you.

[@AlexanderCantoni]

really great. the number of small tips in passing is really valuable to see in context that is more natural than a fully scripted tutorial.

[@YevhenIevtushenko]

You're just crazy. It's just beautiful. The search for an idea and your enthusiasm...love it!

[@huhuhuhukc]

This was recommended by a friend. Absolutely love the video and the result is mind blowing. New to blender but seeing this kind of amazing work, I'm inspired to stick at it. Thank you ❤️

[@ACEsevaeron]

The speed in which he makes all the things is just insane

[@rbjohnson]

I really loved the restraints you placed on yourself from the beginning. Seeing how that shaped the entire project was engaging for me.

[@romain6748]

Really nice to see someone just enjoying what he does and not patronizing viewers. Really interesting to see a video focused more on the creative process than pure technique. Thanks for sharing this moment. :)

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you for the beautiful comment my friend!! I hadn’t thought of it like that

[@ScientObject40]

You are one of the best Blender content creators out there, and a huge source of inspiration for a lot of people. Please never stop doing what you do!

[@funnyanime368]

The way you created that diamond so easily make me jealous

[@ayas1325]

Every tutorial of yours is incredible, and this one is no less. It's like watching a live stream of a Blender master, but without all the boring bits. Would absolutely love to watch a whole series of those!

[@ayeyochi]

It's really cool when you peak the end result first and then watch the process!

[@KaizenTutorials]

Nice one! Great to see some of your thought process and your workflow. I think it really shows problem solving and creative input. Things which are hard to teach otherwise!

[@dfgaJK]

I can feel the passion in this video, this is what makes it is so enjoyable to watch!

[@sullrog]

Whenever I feel like I'm losing motivation to keep learning Blender, I watch one of your videos and immediately feel inspired. I really appreciate that, thank you!

[@jayesece]

Its not boring I'm thankful to watch you enjoy your work

[@RetrogradedTunes]

i love it! sometimes constraints are more freeing that having unlimited options 🤘🏼

[@Ender_Onryo]

I absolutly love this idea. I often prefer limitations so i don't get overwealmed with the infinite possibilities of the unbound mind.

[@RevK20]

Man loved your videos and would like to see your imagination just like this !!!

[@KrumByte]

I love this style of video, I love watching you have fun and watching you make something using a spreadsheet, it had a kind of random feel when you rolled the die which I loved.

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you so much my friend! It really means a lot

[@sedetweiler]

Nicely done! As a person that does mostly product photography using Blender, it is always nice to learn some tricks I didn't know before. We use the bokeh modification method on real cameras, but I had not considered doing so in Blender. It's pretty amazing that the same technique is used for both. Cheers!

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks!! I use it on real cameras too! The cinemorph filter from Vid-Atlantic has helped me on many projects!

[@metashrew]

the custom vintage bokeh blew my mind. I never even considered that something like that could work.

[@Riku_nkmr]

It didn't look interesting to me at first but seeing the diamond bot slowly come alive from iteratively adding organic motion and taking into account so many irl things that is usually taken for granted like camera "imperfections" as well as materials got my attention. Definitely a good vid to take notes on for anyone trying to make renders feel realistic.

[@nocopyrightgameplaystockvi231]

No way your videos are so beautiful and lovely 🤩😍😍😍😍! However your renderings are out of the world.

[@fizzio__]

This was a great challenge, and I'd love to see this become a series! Your enthusiasm and excitement is great to see, and it's something that's missing from so many creators these days. Definitely the most enjoyable Blender video I've seen for a very long time!

[@Leberkasbepi]

Whoa the HDR video from this tut and the white blinds in the background burns my eyes away 😂

[@vintezis]

I'm envy a little bit... not for your technical knowledge (it can be learned), but the instant creativity. Thanx, it was motivating.

[@BURN447]

I genuinely love your content. Just got to the part where you're talking about how much you love doing it, and it's why I always come back. There's such a passion that shows in the content. And I learn a ton every time

[@jeremydlcg]

I really like this kind of videos, pls do a second part of this

[@andreykhazhevskiy3230]

Lights - Try a plane with diffuse shader the same size as the light and just after the area light. You can do the same with planes as you did in other vides. Take a plane with emission, duplicate and move just a bit towards the object and change emission to diffuse. You will have soft shadows and highlights. If this makes sense.

[@andreykhazhevskiy3230]

You can also adjust the distance and change highlights

[@callmeredbird]

You are probably my favorite dude on KZbin, not only do you give out good tutorials, but you also show off your skills in fun challenges

[@Mocorn]

The fact that you discover how the robot can move after you've made it is so cool. I'm gonna have to get into this!

[@jdtx63]

So inspiring to watch & see your thought process & also the excitement when something goes well. Had me captivated for the whole 38:51 😁

[@ameyajain7125]

I was astonished by how fast he could model that robot i wish i could do that myself. keep doing your good work this video was really inspiring for me it shows that you can make anything as long as you have the passion for it.

[@xso8476]

what do you mean we ask for a tutorial ? this is priceless ,

[@Annnnn1131]

This is lovely 😊

[@mayankminda3025]

I love your animations can you please also make a tutorial on sound effects. Learning from your tutorials and love to watch your videos

[@davidodavinci3829]

So, the point is, at the release of this video, I was in school. I got a notification on my phone. I saw this text on my homescreen: Polyfjord has uploaded a new video. A minute ago. I saw this and when I was home, I'm super excited to see this masterpiece. Thank you for everything🤩

[@sasgo8452]

This was super fun to watch. I really hope you'll get armored sci-fi something. I feel like that would look really well

[@RickHenderson]

I absolutely loved watching you have fun. It makes me want to make one too! I really like how you made a thing, then came up with purpose AFTER.

[@maxgodfrey]

Just want to say, I loved this. I watched it over the course of several days but love having the longer content from you. It's always fun to watch someone who's genuinely excited by the work they're doing.

[@WarreProductions]

Legit, I watched the fill video! I love how you creatie stuff that comes in your mind so smooth!

[@balmiralmonte4536]

im learning so much!!.. your creating a whole new generation of creators and you don't even imagine that

[@billydean4008]

I have been stumbling upon you channel because you have a lot of helpful advice. This video though is entertaining beyond informational. Its great, I think you should make this a thing. Cheers!

[@thomasrivet5494]

I watched the whole video and would watch it again! Your enthusiasm is contagious and inspiring. Loved the result. Well done! 10/10
