Tutorial: Making a Sci-Fi Octopus in Blender

[@kostekosowski7595]

I love watching blender tutorials in the same way as regular youtube videos, just sit and watch tutorial. It feels like watching blender gameplay

[@akanatinayoutube]

Same.

[@Nafiganado]

The same. Just watching. Because I realize I won't have so much patience, fantasy and skills to do my own in the same spirit 😂

[@EditingDog]

@@Nafiganado bro you have just believe in your self

[@anhnguyenhoai9003]

He indeed reaches that freedom of creativity of blender.

[@DerekElliott]

The rigging is so tantalizing

[@ColorfulThoughtsRGB]

I find octopi and squid to be the coolest creatures ever! They may not be the prettiest, but they are so fascinating.

[@perfectionwd4189]

isnt it octopussies?

[@jimcoles5697]

@@perfectionwd4189 or octopod? 😁

[@Ziggy-hy4fn]

Octopussies is the correct terminology

[@WaterShowsProd]

Octopuses, not pussies. 🐙🐈‍⬛ Don't forget cuttlefish and nautiluses.

[@plarnt]

Please shut up

[@truthremain]

The small small details and tips in between is what keeps me watching. Appreciate your contwnt helps me a lot. Specially this tip 13:20 been working on and off blender for about 2 yrs and didnt even knew this existed.

[@Water_Melon98]

Actully, how he done that? I still cant undertand, im using brush, but what is next step?

[@ssilverleopard]

12:37 “the bevel treatment” lol Love your work, it’s always so satisfying to watch a master forge a masterpiece. You inspired me to download blender but my potato laptop can’t handle it very well

@@wallacesousuke1433 by all means, if you know of a *free* program that can do everything Blender can, and more, do tell.

[@tttttttttttttttp12]

​@@wallacesousuke1433 Blender is rapidly approaching that level of usefulness and is completely free, open-source, with a massive community to teach you literally anything you could ever know about any feature of the software. If you're ignoring all of that just to complain that people don't want to use programs that cost hundreds for barely more use, then maybe you're the only drone here.

Yay! Polyfjord content!

[@uniblendstudios]

The level effort seems nothing in front of the the level of complexity, you've been an inspiration for me since I was 13 in 2020 and now I can proudly call myself a 3d artist but in front of I am nothing.

[@newrockboy1553]

I really appreciate these long form tutorials, it really allows you to dive into all the details. Keep up the good work!

[@Polyfjord]

Thanks!! Appreciate it! 🙏

[@edskodevries]

Your whole approach just screams "art(ist)(ry)" and I absolutely love it. These are not blender tutorials; these are art tutorials that happen to use Blender. Beautiful work!

[@yeahlol]

17:45 you can also hold ctrl while grabbing to enable the snapping temporarily, it also works if you've already enabled snapping and want to disable it temporarily while moving something

[@mrmovess_]

You've really outdone yourself here. Amazing tutorial and even cooler final render. Bravo.

[@vukivuki1189]

Been watching your tutorials for a while now, recreating the spider and the octo man, I learned so much from you. You are a genius and thank you for your videos! This came out not even an hour ago and im jumping straight on it!

[@Shmoopyn]

oooo a polyfjord video on my birthday! what a treat!

[@Polyfjord]

Happy birthday!

[@DenimPirate]

Very, very impressive dude! The addition of particles at the end added SO MUCH to the overall effect! Crazy how such a tiny addition can change so much :)

[@Polyfjord]

Thank you my friend!! ahh yeah particles are awesome for scenes like this!! I wasn't able to include the particles workflow, it simply became too much

[@domgregory3040]

As a student biologist and someone that plays with blender in my free time im geeking out over this 😍

I really like this format, it was fun watching , and damn those caustic, i didnt knew it was that easy

[@malamene]

You are a true artist. Love your tutorials.

One of my favorite KZbinrs upload again today!

[@jdtx63]

Completely Mesmerised !! Amazing!! Thank You !!!

[@harringtonday5319]

Another brilliantly infectious tutorial! - If this doesn't inspire you to learn 3D modelling, then nothing will.🙏❤

[@bigbodge]

This technique would work really well for a War of the Worlds style tripod! Huge fan of your videos, it makes the end result so much more impressive when you can see how it came about. I guess it feels less like some black magic that you couldn't possibly achieve and highlights more the actual work and talent that goes into it

[@gumball1328]

Very nice. That trick to make the texture change over linked objects was very cool and helpful.

[@addepaddes]

Radioactive octopus of madness! Damn Torbjorn! what a beautiful piece! I wish I had the same amount of creativity as you do! So cool!

[@RaffyTheInventor]

you are my favourite youtuber after watching three of your videos, wish you made more like this

[@meliskocak515]

hey man, I started learning blender a couple months ago and made some real progress watching all of your content! I find your videos about achieving realistic cinematography digitally via lighting and camera settings so impressive. I'd love to see more videos of the small tricks that really bring an animation to life! thanks :)

[@MysterixInfinity]

I love these kinda long videos from you, even though some of the sections go faster for beginners

[@SAOS451316]

As a 3D artist with the KZbin handle Cyborg Octopus, this is most tailored to me video I have ever seen and I love it. I'm off to go make my own.

[@SAOS451316]

@@Ablumz That's because KZbin changed it so you only see people's sign-up email unless you click their avatar to see the profile preview. One more feature they took away to add to premium. I haven't used that particular alphanumeric email for twelve years but now it replaced my fun name. :(

[@Queen3D_fi]

[@Rene1980DEZEMBER]

WOOOOOW, that is so amazing cool stuff ;-) love it

[@Summer-jp8nz]

Polyfjord great tutorial but at the point of duplicating the bracket clamps you could have used array modifier and follow curve modifier it would be easier instead of manually adding bracket clamps

[@pgaditya0642]

Amazing and very cool ❤

OMG this is insane ❤❤

[@kirilolikazuto9695]

your sound design is always peak. i love watching your videos

Thank you so much my friend!

The final render reminds me of some sort of final boss of a deep sea game. Just put a health bar at the top of the screen then boom. ❤

the other best part is when you learn by doing this tutorials XD

[@fergadelics]

Add poles for more IK control. There’s also a rigify advanced tentacle added in blender 4 but that takes things in a different direction.

[@ansems3309]

I love to see your thumbnail or to watch your result and then just try it myself before watching! I have made all the "links" for the tentacles our of two triangles. But a triangle with three suction cups on it just looks like those razors that dads used to have :D

[@Polyfjord]

@@ansems3309 haha nice!! That’s very interesting to hear! I haven’t seen anyone else do that… Love it!!

Thanks a lot for making these mate. Awesome work as always too ✌🏻

[@Autaka-Nubia]

thanks much for sharing your knowledge, you taught me muuuuuch and still do

[@HackFight]

Just looked the final result and it's amazing... the movement could be improved though. This looks more like something moving in space than under water.

[@Sedryn_]

This really was a masterclass... All i can say is: teach me please, sensei!

[@MovieMakervIs]

Love your Videos. Would be nice if you made Concept Sketches or Videos of the final project at the beginning. 😊

[@carlo_oppermann]

incredible quality content. thanks for putting the work into these videos!

[@fekkakidriss6562]

the dude is unstoppable!

[@pawnone]

you can fake caustics with just a plain under the light source. put a noise texture and a color ramp on the Alpha and adjust the roughness down detail up and scale down then add a light under the plane adjust the color and brightness now just animate either the detail value on the noise texture or swap it yo 4D and animate the W value it will render pretty fast as well

[@belevtsof]

this is really cool! I wanna try to do create this octopus. thanx a lot dude!

[@its_jesteR]

much cool and informative, Mr. Fjord

[@ColorfulThoughtsRGB]

This is so impressive 😮

[@jasperzatch610]

I feel like I must do this tutorial as I think I could really learn a ton. It's going to take forever though

[@TomCastle-jp8by]

Cool! Can’t wait to make Brainiac Ships!😂😂

[@hameesh55]

Woahsah. Awesome stuff bro. Love your work. I just cant keep up. Maybe later on once i'm used to Blender a little more. But im definetely following you. Big ups from NZ.

[@skepsys_d]

Really great work, thanks for sharing this.

[@eclipsehunter303]

Amazing!

[@bytefloww]

youre my inspiration! Soon, when i turn 16, i will start working to get a better laptop/pc so i can finally use blender 4

[@pine_and_appl]

First of all, amazing tutorial, but I was looking back on some of your other videos and I think it would be crazy to see you do something with fluid simulations, since you've already done rigid body, smoke, and fire simulations.

[@roadrunnerplaying]

You should make a short film with the characters you created, an epic multi-environment battle

[@furqananees3529]

Great video! Please make a video on how you make the final cinematic video with different camera angles.

[@Soumik.Pixels]

Your videos are the most fire videos in Blender Community ... Like you explain so complex stuffs in so easy ways ... I have used your Dr. octopus tentacle tutorial to make a brain monster for @pwnisher boss fight challenge render ... Thanks a lot man ❤

At 12:41 how did you create multiple loop cuts and scale/move them?? I tried to find a solution but couldn't. Thanks in advance, great tutorial!

did you ever find out? got the same issue, ive got one loop cut but would like to double them and scale them to even positions
