Update: Unfortunately the artist that modelled the Apple Watch Series 9 model has deleted their Sketchfab account, but here is a similar downloadable model: sketchfab.com/3d-models/apple...

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1034">17:14</a> That glaring beam of sunlight on the upper edge of the screen, chef's kiss 🫶 Also really nice technique with the tree video.

[@keremardicli4013]

That real time rendering performance is sick....

[@MonitorLizardGaming]

Ah yes, the Apple Watch Pro Max Plus X SE Ultra Pro Air +++ XL Premium Pro. Another groundbreaking innovation from Apple!

[@nerfgodbigguy1405]

He'll yeah............. for ONLY $10,000 😁👍

[@mauritspol9983]

more of this please. just a random project like this is great to watch you just be creative.

[@Cleb_3D]

The part where you animated the walk cycle went by so quickly though, you should tell us more about the walk cycle next walk cycle wednesday

[@Polyfjord]

That is a very good point... I will take it with me for the next walk cycle wednesday!

[@RHOCHR]

Cool, I haven't watched it yet but I know it will be cool. Edit: I watched it now it was amazing, like always.

[@Polyfjord]

I didn't read this comment yet but I hope it's a nice comment!!

[@Polyfjord]

Update, I have read it now, it was great!!! Thanks!!

[@livespixfute10]

​@@Polyfjord high level answer lol

[@tileshopcuy]

sialan 😂 ​@@Polyfjord

[@nozsavsev2442]

Have you ever thought of combining all your cursed creatures and making a cg movie of them assaulting you as their creator for hard life?

[@keshar-w]

just watched it completely, loved the journey, awesome results.

[@davidgeuens5236]

20 likes in the first minute of releasing the video, your community really has blind trust in your content!

[@Polyfjord]

Lol true. I hope every single person that pre-liked the video will remove the like if they hated it!

[@artandgrow9240]

noooo I refuse to remove my prelike it’s stuck that way 😂

[@TPCDAZ]

It's more experience of greatness.

[@Chemest_a]

Watching your videos is always fun! It’s great to see & hear your creative process. (I also love learning new keybinds like ctrl+m for mirroring!)

[@K2Industries]

I speak on behalf of a lot of us when u we need more content like this..... just u messing around and making cool renders just chill relaxing and fun to watch Love your work💯

[@aim__freakz8499]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="456">7:36</a> ahh yes the Apple iPlug

[@egertsus]

I recommend making every thing you do in to video.

[@newrockboy1553]

One of your most funny ideas yet!

[@kekeklol3705]

It’s crazy to me how incredibly well you have replicated this apple aesthetic Love your work btw

[@JaredOwen]

I enjoy these videos! Thank you for sharing

[@theanimatedeiad]

I'm glad you're doing more creative projects like this one! Can't wait to see what you make next!

[@tyomakes]

2 hours for executing an idea from scratch to full render of this quality is insane, always love what you make, Asbjørn! Super inspiring 🔥

[@eshanpradhan7255]

this kind of a product reminds me of the videos from back in 2014 " This is what iphone 36 will look like!"

[@tristanedmunds5934]

When I see a new video it's like taking a deep breath of fresh air . Thank you for giving me the time to relax and unwind after a long days work. Love you brotha❤

[@adventurebow-studio]

I really would love to see "walk-cycle Wednesdays," I learn so much from your videos and would really like to see that. I also noticed a few things in the video, such as using the edge-split modifier, and how you hid two of the legs while animating the other two. If its possible, I would love to get some more info on how you do those kinds of things, as I can't find much info on them online so would love little few sentence explanations for some of those little things in the videos. Thanks! Love your videos!

[@r4zenedi]

I always watched your videos and now after quite a while I myself tried to get better in Blender and for fun I animated our business logo and my boss actually told me after I showed it to him to make a really good animation so that it can be displayed on our Hardware in our branches around Europe. It is still a long way but watching your videos really helped me getting better with Blender so thanks a lot.

[@davidmorris8333]

The final render looks like a video someone might share to show off a new feature they discovered after a system update 😂

[@taralpatel2718]

Maybe you can add cool transition for legs coming from somewhere like it is a small transformer. Maybe from inside the apple watch? It then transforms into airpods like structure.

[@filipenevesproenca]

Im in love with that little creature! Love to see your creative workflow, very inspiring and amazing! Continue doing thses, i love watching from start to finish!!!!

[@MasqueArt]

For the display, I would do RADAR, that looks like a clock, with two update lines. Or go with timer as a bomb running up to you.

[@A_Strider]

thank you for the amazing video i love watching as an idea gets fleshed out while its being made i also love how this video captures the joy of just creating anything that comes to mind no matter how odd or simple it may seem keep up the great videos and i definitely see why you would love to make a short film about these little robots

[@pixelcraft9479]

Make a egg roll in to a baby dino or a slime walking Ps:I love your vids

[@Thatguyfox1]

The way you rig and animate is soo god teir. I feel like somthing like this wouldve taken me atleast a week to finish. it moves so smooth

[@Capsicumh2]

just realised that airpods looks like a plants vs zombies pea shooter

[@Nickel3D]

Incredible as always, you are truly the master of combining art, film, 3D, and Blender to make these visuals!!

[@kylestitt627]

Watching the render and the story develop throughout the video was magical!

[@mefavideoer]

love walk cycle wednesdays!!

[@FictionCautious]

Cool little animation. Love it!

[@AJ-mw4nb]

This was very satisfying to watch, thank you so much for sharing this! Its very aspirational as well. One tiny feedback, the polytone kind of sound for the movement of the arms towards the end, felt off. Maybe we could've tried to get some tiny, shrill sounding servo sounds? Think iron-man mk3 movements, but tiny, high pitched... just thinking out loud.

[@somali4154]

Apple should definitely pay for this premium ad!

[@gravity00x]

they sure did lmao

[@kalfakanti]

the lighting so goood

[@7melvil584]

Love it! So nice to make use of those awesome apple designs!

[@sobreaver]

Thanks for the PREMIUM ride !! Refreshing and inspiring as always.

[@cleverpoly]

Aha, Love The final results, looks so realistic

[@laemon300]

Thats so cool how you coming up with so crazy ideas right in process. And showing the process of animation is incredible content, ngl

[@ameenyaseenhussein1461]

very cool idea, love that youre posting more often... cant wait to see more

[@Nvvvvvvvvvvvvvm]

I don't know if I mean the same thing but this what you call airpods core is just reminding me of stormtroopers design so for me stormtroopers core xd

[@user-fu1ph9ps7q]

You a freaking genious man! your creativity has no limits

[@MasqueArt]

Also, for the charging, I would start with battery low symbol, so we know why the robot stood up. Then it walks to the light, we could get small indication that it knows it is in light, then it oversteps to the shade indication "bad", walks a tiny bit back, so it (as is smart robot) knows, that with sun movement, it placed itself to a place with longest sun exposure until the shadow catches up again. Also, for realism, if it charges by sun, the movement of legs up is bad idea, because it casts shadow over the display - the place where I expect hidden solar panel. Or it could be "stupid" robot just at the edge of light, and moves just a bit, until it all is in the light.

[@romulocastilho6506]

faz um video com sua versão

[@K1rby_4771]

The real question is, knowing apple, can you ever even repair it?

[@kartopod]

Best blenderer on the planet no competition

[@james_r_frost]

Woah! So cool Poly! Yes please Walk Cycle Wednesdays sound like a fantastic idea

[@arwedhohlfeld97]

What do you think about the "Nothing Phone" ?

[@dimagic1029]

That idea with creature kit😂

[@thatsdeathshot]

Walk Cycles Wednesday could be a good series! Other then that very good video as always

[@blitzkreg335]

This is sick. I wanna do something like this now.

[@JProductionsYT]

YOUR TOO GOOD MAN!!! I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!

[@dannybcreative]

Very Tim Burton-esque. Nice!

[@Inkscape-tutorial-pl]

I think every leg should take separate step. Not in pairs, but in a sequence od four steps. It would look much more "spiderish". But It's cool animation anyway.

[@danialsoozani]

wow that was amazing! you really inspire us to make similar stuff and put our legs on the shoulders of giants like you!

[@pubglegend3442]

Hello , i think you should talk about our kit that you made , don't worry we will never get bored ❤ we love your videos and have learned a lot from you.. the new people who see this from the first time must know about your kit thanks Polyfjord for staying here helping us and sharing your art ♥️♥️✨

[@TS2007]

You are the legend of the blender. I follow you from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and I have learned from you for more than 3 years. Thank you.

[@TradesDigital]

An idea. Turn the legs upside down so the ear-piece faces the ground, make them into directional thrusters so it flies/hovers.

[@leodash_]

I read the title as "...a Robot Made out of Apple Tarts"

[@flevo]

I'm all for walk cycle wednesdays :D

[@p.kmations]

always making amazing things

[@nadimmahamud1856]

amazing stuff as always!

[@kelvindokubo2298]

This is super cool, I love your videos

[@realblenderassassin]

really love your videos keep it up❤❤

[@MSalmanAlvi]

Amazing Buddy You Are Genius . Real Time Rendering Is Beyond The Limit

[@Vachyas_]

Really cool.. I enjoy this type of videos

[@davef21370]

I'd like to see a little classical building, surrounded by modern architecture, uprooting itself and walking away.

[@Atharva_Studios]

Thats really cool!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I was thinking of using the pods the other way around so it walks on the rubber ear o8eces. It could use them to grab something and climb vertically

[@stainedcoffeecup]

Amazing

[@PersonWithDreamz]

as always its a pleasure to see you on screen :)

[@Mohammad_Shaheen]

I was wondering if you're going to make another sound design challenge, because I missed the last one.

[@destywip]

that ligit looks like an ad for a new device.

[@gametec_live]

you are way too talented, love it... I wish i wouldnt suck at artistic stuff lol...

[@grizzzirg]

could've used wheels from Apple's Mac Pro stand... Believe, those would make a good joint

[@havequestion4407]

Thanks for amazing tutorial. I have a question: How do you get realtime viewport render in blender's Cycles. Is because of your GPU 4090?

[@mustafaqaddo415]

This video is very cool, very difficult idea And sick

[@Voxel_Cat]

This is amazing

[@ConcealedWeapon]

Masterful!

[@Unleashed75]

You mentioned a cat. Could of been cool to see the legs stretch out like it's yawning after a snooze, then walk, followed by just flopping back on the ground. Cool animation though.

[@MoCo_Filmmaker]

AMAZING.

[@Michael4Times]

stuff this cool is always so inspiring

[@abirshakil]

Just incridible!!!

[@ayaz1979]

Amazing, thanks

[@tanmoykundu4314]

Its fantabulous... Like always 🌸 Love from INDIA♥

[@InfinitySiam]

Music in this video super nice and energetic.

[@artandgrow9240]

Also this is crazy cool! such a playful concept and reminds u how familiar we are with these little chunks of plastic and metal. You do a great job of personifying things! For some reason this made me recall an old, obsolete space game called Escape Velocity where you play as a ship flying around and jumping from system to system. My sister and I were only kids but we made plugins for that game and designed our own space ships by altering the original ship designs and changing their colors and stuff.

[@Polyfjord]

That sounds like a ton of fun!!

[@animation_craze]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1014">16:54</a> how you do that depth of field shots They are amazing😍😍🤩

[@AK97_art]

Amazing !

[@neonrobotnick6867]

AirPods Core as a design language reminds me more of the robots in the axiom from wall-e than Apple stuff

[@xDaShaanx]

This looks fun 😁

[@PuffyDev]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="939">15:39</a> apple would use guassian blur not fade effect

[@Osigmanic-dr7uk]

I´m waiting until Apple comes to ask you if you want to work for them

[@JayBirdJay]

You missed a perfect opportunity for a pun. Instead of AirpodCore, you could call it AppleCore :D

[@livespixfute10]

sensational kkkk 😂 strangely insane! This tutorial arrived in Brazil 🇧🇷 congratulations on the video.

[@Zyloxim]

Would love to see walk cycle Wednesdays more

[@ntshgoku]

can you make a video how to use a leaf video clip as shadow casting background through light?

[@pandoratheclay]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="100">1:40</a> “I feel like you could have a design aesthetic that’s called airpods core…” Not Apple Core?

[@taurean6456]

A solar powered apple watch? Interesting
