You may have noticed a small number under my name. I am in hot pursuit of that number reaching 100K before @kaizentutorials If I don't succeed, my *_-entire family and career-_* sits in the balance with this wager. please subscribe *_In all seriousness, we are having a fun little bet with each other_*

[@KaizenTutorials]

I actually unsubscribed because of this.

Two of my favourite Blender Bros beefing? I'm torn 😩

[@mythicalhacker5]

Ok, subbed to you already

[@KoltenNiedermaier]

Bro there’s an ad for a fake iPhone cleaner app that has ur channel in it @Smeaf

[@ZennExile]

Love the video, followed it tutort style, added the sample to my portFo, don't regret it. But... isn't squarespace a dead company walkin? I mean, ChatGPT just spit the code for 8 feature rich websites samples into my browser window based on the prompt "don't make me hate this" some random color codes and a spattering of topic relevant media that ChatGPT sourced itself from a copyright-free image database for building small business websites. All I had to do was copy and paste. Does SquareSpace have ChatGPT fully integrated? Because the future is yesterday. Just sayin...

[@coreforce9872]

- adds memes - engages viewer - convinces viewer to click other videos -step by step and easy to learn could not have found this youtuber at a better time 👍

[@Smeaf]

All boxes ticked I see

[@omnirhythm]

And it's 3 separate shots in 11 minutes, out of which at least half the runtime was introductory talk for the shots. This is how you KZbin :D

[@dhruvsingh9965]

I dont do 3D modelling or animation. I have never even opened blender in my life. Yet I saw the whole video. You have done a tremendous job here. Subscribed!

[@Smeaf]

Wow, thanks!

[@Behumoury]

@@Smeaf exactly even I don’t animate but I did the same! Just make your thumbnail and titles more inviting and you will get more audience lol😂

[@Mechanicalkidsofficial]

Really I'm like you bro

[@HarryRayan]

same here xD

[@DarkSwordsman]

It is impressive how these more complex things seem to always have really simple solutions, and it's just a combination of simple solutions that make for really good, complex animations. Thanks!

[@BrianKouhi]

Awesome tutorial! The amount of effort you put in these defs shows through

[@Smeaf]

Thanks Brian! I'm so glad it does

[@MarcelE80]

Your choice of music, memes and sound effects are S tier. I love this channel so much

[@Smeaf]

Bro honestly thank you

[@ZennExile]

Hey, just an FYI, Patent Law doesn't work that way. All Patent information is public knowledge. The entire Patent System is designed as a means to share information with the public. You can develop, make, and make use of, any patent personally. If you iterate well enough, you can even file for a new Patent that covers your iteration of someone else's Patent. There's absolutely no legal reason you couldn't share the Patent for that keyboard as long as you are not profiting from the manufacture or sale of the same keyboard.

[@AldridgeJoseph]

This tutorial is amazing, you have broken it down for a non-Blender user and given me so many ideas for what I can do. Keen to try my hand at this

[@Smeaf]

That’s awesome to hear 🔥

[@driggsy]

Just wanted to say thank you for these videos! I work in C4D, but the concepts still apply. I've always wondered how people were able to achieve this specific effect, and you made it easy to understand and follow. You're a legend Smeaf!

[@Smeaf]

That's awesome to hear! Yeah, most concepts can be transferred betwixt programs, there's just a different workflow.

[@chosenideahandle]

It would be much faster and easier with C4D than Blender using a mo-graph effector instead of the manually keying and adjusting curves (unless you mean the liquid reveal part). I see other C4D people here saying what you have though. I'm a Blender guy since leaving the C4D studio I was at a few years ago. I use add-ons a lot to speed things up in Blender, and I think I'll defer to what's out there if I start doing more of this product animation again. I also miss the look of Redshift renders when my employer paid for it, but "free" currently makes Cycles looks better lol. Yep, your videos are great Smeaf!

[@NobungaGames]

On a real note, I’ve been using blender on and off for 10 years. Something about other tutorials just never clicked for me and I’ve made some dope stuff don’t get me wrong, but from blindly following. The way you edit and explain has a huge effect on retention because even 10 years in, I have to say you have the best retentive video I’ve seen for a blender project to get the info to stick

[@Smeaf]

Thanks homie, that's the goal!

[@timothypumphrey3210]

Although I'm not in Blender, this tutorial was so helpful for me with my animations in C4D. I can't thank you enough my man!!!

[@Smeaf]

Glad to hear that!

[@nisbahmumtaz909]

My suggestion as a tutorial video maker is to enable key press display (at least for when recording the videos), and perhaps timestamps to music used in the video as well Thanks for the video, enjoyed it

[@Keyakina]

It is really insane how such high quality video of a relatively small youtuber puts it out here for us to watch for free!

Great tutorial! :D as a mechanical keyboard nerd and a blender nerd, I love seeing overlaps in the hobbies haha

[@Smeaf]

That’s sick, im just starting my collection now 😅

[@LimitedWard]

I'm no patent lawyer, but why would it be illegal to share the original design? The design itself is public record, since they would have needed to submit the design to get it patented in the first place. The only thing I could imagine would be a problem is sharing the logos, which are likely trademarked.

[@francishew3672]

Amazing Tutorial! Love all the jokes and animations added into the tutorial 😄

[@Smeaf]

Thanks! 😃 This was one of the biggest edits to date, so I'm glad it has been received so well!

[@frankbottinger1892]

Wow, best training video i have ever seen. The meme parts are just perfect!

[@andreoliveirauk]

I learned 3DS Max when I was in university but totally forgot about everything. Now, coming back to blender, need to get familiar with all the most essential tools as I'm only doing industrial design.

[@lucianocamposflores]

I don't use blender at all, but I got entertained the whole tutorial. Great video!

[@Adriel_Sandoval]

if any of you have problems with the ball getting changed to solid. Change the solver option that is locate in the modifier boolean to fast, and it will also fix lag, so you don't have to disable it from the viewport

[@HipyoTech]

fancy keyboard

[@Smeaf]

Smeaf Keyboard? 👀

[@_stanfx]

Your videos are always entertaining :D

[@Smeaf]

That is the goal

[@leksu_z]

Easy to understand and actually made a cool animation!❤

[@knowledgeispower9724]

Mr. Smeaf thank you for helping me turn dreams to a reality. i was always a great artist but back before digital art was a think. i pursued an engineering degree and then became almost stumped after. i stumbled across your Blender videos a year or so ago and opened up a whole bunch of avenues for me and how i design. Now having both the physical and digital design aspects under my belt i cant wait to grow my businesses. Do you happen to work for some kind of studio ? I would love to pay you to basically take my blueprints animations and improve them for me. I would also love to pay you to promote my company as I am looking to hire fellow animators, 3d artists, game devs, etc to team with my engineers and change the world one step at a time. I know this may sound sketchy or like a bot account but if any other freelancers interested, this is an opportunity you wouldnt want to miss 🙏🏽

[@artimusician8269]

Thank you! It was the coolest blender animation video that I've seen

Actually? I can't tell if srs

💯 completely serious bro, you're also my favorite 3d modeling channel, and that speaks since I'm a programmer and find art painful.

[@basspig]

That transform individual centers option is very interesting I wonder if such an option exists not only in the timeline editor but also for object editing and editing vertices and faces on an object like say you have multiple objects selected and you want to rotate each of the objects all with one operation but you want the objects to rotate about their own centers?

[@Smeaf]

Should I tell him guys?

[@ThatOneOddGuy]

Finally keyboard Yay Now i get to have my k100 in blender as well

[@MikkoRantalainen]

If you have patented product, you can share the full 3D models without a problem because even if you have the information, you cannot manufacture the product without infringing the patent.

i will comback whan i get the basics of blender , thats verry cool man but i couldn't understand a lot of things you said and made seem easy

[@Smeaf]

Awesome!

[@psychologyofphotography]

🚀 Absolutely mind-blowing tutorial! The way you've simplified these seemingly complex product animations is genius. I never thought creating such stunning shots could be broken down into such manageable steps. 🎬✨ I especially love the technique of using collection instances in shot three - it's a game-changer for efficiency without compromising quality. The attention to detail in explaining the graph editor tricks is pure gold for aspiring animators like me. 💡 Quick question: Have you tried applying these techniques to different product animations, or is there a specific project where you found these methods exceptionally effective? Would love to hear more about your experiences with this workflow!

Awesome content once again @smeaf! Looking at the keyboard animation, please i would like to know, where can i find such a file detailed file/image containing the seperate parts of an electronic or mechanical device, and if there's a name for such a file or image, what is it called?

[@pa-pyro2804]

This process should really make fans of chainsaw man understand just how amazing what they created is. That is a masterpiece not just in the amazing sound frames and the color pop and the character movement is seamless and unique I can only imagine how many of these frames has so far gone into one piece could you imagine over 1000 episodes 25 minutes long I mean it's a lot of filler but one piece is in my experience responsible for cartoon audio effects since the 90s
