very sweet content is great

[@activemotionpictures]

I loved the "pause" button effect and sound. Great content as well.

[@POLYCOSM]

Haha! Thanks 😄😂👌

[@chocofro3]

I absolutely love the fact that you went to google and practiced his name for a while in order to pronounce it correctly. Mad respect for you! I personally put that much effort into spelling and pronounciation too because it's a little irritating when people spell my name wrong or say it wrong.

[@kenzietownsend6644]

The get rid of the empty method was amazing at 9:31.

[@jaranedaaran8843]

amazing

[@JEVPRO]

Beautiful !!!

[@animatorireenie8319]

This looks so fantastic, very impressive! 💜

[@POLYCOSM]

Aww, thanks so much! 🥰🥰

[@yorivisuals]

Amazing video again guys!! Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks for the constant support, Yori! ☺️🥰

[@watchandproduce]

Thank you creating this tutorial.

[@POLYCOSM]

You’re most welcome, Mark! 😄

[@hennyzuniha8915]

I am really amazed at the creative capacity of the human being. That is, to take advantage of the creative possibilities of any tool. What you have done is really interesting. Thank you for sharing your work. I hope you continue to give us the pleasure of seeing so much talent

[@POLYCOSM]

Aww, thanks Henny! 😄☺️ We’re so happy you’re enjoying our content!

[@hamatoshamatos7048]

FANTASTIC! THANKS for this breakdown

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks, Hamatos! 😄🥰

[@troyashley61]

I love your couple dynamic and your content is filling a void i feel thanksso much guys !

[@POLYCOSM]

Ahaha, I totally feel you! You’re most welcome! 😁☺️

[@jeffg4686]

Just wanted to clarify. When she says you can't sell the scenes containing the assets, that means the "source" asset, but you can sell renders of your scenes that contain these "Standard" assets (as I understand it anyways)

[@cblackall21]

Thank you. I learnt a lot from this video.

[@POLYCOSM]

Yay, glad to hear that Christopher! 😄☺️

[@JaKorsarz]

I can sense a disturbance in the Force here...

[@johannleo1282]

I just want to say that this looks great and is a very refined storyboard, but you really don’t need this level of polish to storyboard. Anything ranging from this example to stick figures will get you started on blocking your scene. Just thought you might see this and get cold sweats at the level needed, but I would say this is as good as it gets quality wise.

[@DennisCNolasco]

A simplified version of this can be used to make comics too 😃

[@POLYCOSM]

I know, it’s so effective! 😄🙌

[@bentontramell]

FSpy would be good tool here.

[@kimmykool-aid7782]

Looks like a telltale game

[@SpitfireStoryboards]

Cool content.

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks! 😄☺️

[@Kaldanar]

Great content, well done!

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks, Kaldanar! ☺️😁

[@mahabbat1960]

Wow, thanks, lets try)

[@POLYCOSM]

You’re welcome! ☺️

[@AFortalezaCuriosa]

You should try to use NPR Comic Forge. You can find it on blender market too. I love it, cuz it gives ya some more customization options in the hatches building and lightning behavior. And the results with colored material it's so cool. Give it a try

[@POLYCOSM]

I’ve checked it out, and although the settings are cool, I’m not a huge fan of how the crosshatching-effect looks 😅 Guess it just comes down to personal preference 😌 Cool add-on nonetheless!

[@juicebox281]

Love your content, I dunno if youve work on pixel art before but I wanna see pixel art textures on a 3d object.

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks! 😄 Neither me or my partner have any interest in pixel art, so I don’t think that’ll be a topic we’ll be covering unfortunately. 😕

[@markusjahn1398]

Wow .. that is cool, is there a tutorial for this?

[@ssaulgoodmann]

Damnnnnn

[@momstir1]

Hi there, might be a stupid question; but when importing assets from sketchfab how does your items material automatically become a bronze color? Love the video btw :)

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks Andrew! It’s just the red clay shader under the «Solid» viewport shading mode (press the arrow down and then Matcap + the ball to change it)

[@studio49rou]

Hi Christina, I am new in Blender and might sound as dump question. Have you used for this project Eevee or Cycles Render? Thank you and I love your work!

[@POLYCOSM]

Hi Vio! Aww, thanks so much :’D Of course that isn’t a dumb question! Unless I’ve specified it in the video, I am using Eevee and use it 99% of the time 😁

[@studio49rou]

@@POLYCOSM love you! Thank you for your time! You just got a new subscriber

[@POLYCOSM]

Yay, we’re happy to have you on-board, Vio! 😄🙌

[@athilalthaf6222]

Where can I see the full video.

[@POLYCOSM]

Check out the playlist or just google «The Unsleeping Idol» 😊

[@tintwotin]

Do you know you can do camera switching from the Blender Sequencer directly in the 3D View: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6Skpoaiqa95opY

[@POLYCOSM]

OoOoh, I had no idea!! Thanks so much for letting me know about this awesome add-on 😍🙌

[@AllExistence]

You can copy modifiers too.

[@POLYCOSM]

How do you do that? ☺️

[@AllExistence]

@@POLYCOSM well, you can link them from ctrl+l or you can enable ctrl+c menu addon and copy from that.

[@POLYCOSM]

Ahh, gotcha! Thanks for the tip! 😄🥰

[@BadaBing_]

@@POLYCOSM "Copy Attributes Menu" addon comes with Blender, honestly dunno why it isn't enabled by default

[@POLYCOSM]

I’ll look into that, thanks! 😄

[@phantomapprentice6749]

So if I put my models on sketchfab I'm technically giving them away? love this project btw

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks, Phantom! 😄 Naah, not really. With a standard license people can’t re-sell the asset in any way shape and form. They can’t claim it’s yours, use it in pornographic/defamatory/unlawful contexts or use it as promotion for alcohol, gambling, tobacco, etc. With an editorial license, the asset may only be used for news articles, documentaries, etc., and never for commercial or promotional gain. There’s a whole list of license terms, so I’d recommend you check it out if you’re worried! 😊

[@Atomic-toons00]

What is underrated?

[@othoapproto9603]

Nice work. However, in my experience directors would not sit still for the time this takes.

[@POLYCOSM]

I get that, this was more a style exploration more than anything ☺️

[@othoapproto9603]

@@POLYCOSM And I wonderful one at that. I know studios that would use this an Anomatic. GREAT WORK

[@POLYCOSM]

Thanks, dude 😄
