[@poikha]

This is super valuable and I`m looking forward on more deep dives like this. IMO you can go even deeper :) I would love to learn more about your compositing and layer passes to get most out of them.

[@Polyfjord2]

Nice!!! I don't really use layer passes because it's so ridicolously slow! But I think there might be some potential deep diving in blender 3.5 when we get the real time compositor!!

[@Polyfjord2]

Oh, wait! I thought you meant MultiLayer EXR. Perhaps you meant view layers? I'll think about it

[@Ab_obla]

@@Polyfjord2 yes that video would be welcome!

[@poikha]

Actually I meant MultilayerEXR but I can wait till that real time compositor :) That view layer thing would be also interesting to see in action!

[@shoaibakhtar4934]

So much useful information The only useless information I saw anywhere was whenever my eyes blinked!

[@omkarprabhu777]

This is what I needed deep in depth tutorial but also not tutorial just a 3d artist talking about their workflow and tools they use.

[@Polyfjord2]

Nice!! That was exactly what I wanted to make!

[@Winsomnia]

An alternative to the ocio colorspace method, is to go to the media tab, then right click your media>LUT>VFX IO>linear to sRGB. as far as i know and have tested, this has the exact same visual effect on the footage, without sacrificing playback speed and smoothness. I just found this out, so feel free to correct me if i'm wrong, but it has worked for me so far :) And thanks for the video Polyfjord! always love your content, cant wait for more of this indepth type content.

[@Polyfjord2]

Yes! This will make it look identical to the Standard view transform in blender! But to get Filmic, we need these extra steps. But for HDR workflows, I think the Standard view transform is more useful!

[@bazebaze2657]

So cool!!! Can't wait to see what's next!

[@Ab_obla]

This was what I needed thank you!

[@MaxCDet]

Thanks for sharing your workflow !! That's very valuable

[@niasford]

Thank you so much. I get easily overwhelmed by the post-processing/effects pipeline, and it's nice to see a linear walkthrough.

[@newrockboy1553]

2:35 , I've had the logitech 502 Hero for about a year now but I never thought of using the buttons like. Thanks for the helpful tip.

[@Mrflippyfloop]

This is very helpful. Cheers.

[@keshar-w]

This is very helpful, getting to know end to end workflows and how we can level up our results. Tuned for more content like this!

[@DanielTDesign]

Awesome tips! Disabling the skip keyboard keys in blender is super useful! Thank you! 👍

[@ezzeldeensalahh]

That was Valuable! Thank you

[@louisdavis1370]

pretty stoked about this

[@kamilprokopowicz]

Great video, waiting for more, I use a similar set up, learned a lot from You.

[@mechanicalmoss]

Love hearing about this stuff! The more in depth the better! I'd like to hear your thoughts on project management and file organization.

[@yuvaraj8492]

Always good content. 👍🏽

[@_blender_man_]

Subscribed, because I love the way you do 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Covingsworth]

Great breakdown, useful stuff here

[@kaizu4914]

thank you, this kind of stuff is what I need

[@isaac-alves]

Super informative and very helpful video. Please keep this channel.

[@AnecProductions]

i love this ! the more technical the better tbh its hard to find content for mid to high skilled blender users, all of the scene is beginner holding your hand stuff when the most valuable and the most that make a difference after you know the basics are these tips you're giving ! thanks again for sharing!

[@Italimpex]

This is unbelievably valuable! Definitely more videos like this one - please make a sound design tutorial.

[@senseoffender9655]

Thank you so much for that media keymap tidbit! it was the bane of my existence :)

[@OndenOndwaK]

Amazing! Keep these up :)

[@Delusional3d]

Hi Polyford. Congrats on the new channel. A deep dive into creating an asset (asset pack) within blender and how you organise it would be awesome. Not sure if you had a team recording your every waking moment whilst creating the mechanical asset pack, a behind the scenes blood, sweat and tears documentary style possibly asking to much. Good luck and keep doing what you do. 😊 Rob

[@masterdammus]

Love your videos from your main channel , but this in deep is awesome. Great content. 🥇

[@JoJa015]

I learned a number of things in this video and I have being using windows 10 forever! Thank you for the tips!!

[@johntnguyen1976]

Immediately subbed to that channel as well!

[@traderz13]

This channel is exactly what i wanted. Im such a huge fan of what you think is important. My most trusted teacher. I am really interested in deep dive into sound design and also da vinci settings you use is interesting as I am making the switch from premier pro.

[@cargoartist]

That was great !! a studio tour would be nice mate..

[@Derpduck.]

The Norse god of Blender 🙌🏼

[@IndianCitizen04]

I'm highly impressed with your workflow and try to test it in my own for better result.

[@taimurcgi]

This was so useful! Especially the windows 10 settings, I can't thank you enough for sharing the multiple desktop trick!

[@morgannpoulain4612]

A deep dive into fonctionnal design for the Polyfjord style robots. How do you link general design, fonctionnal design, drivers ect... Congrats for the new channel and thx for doing all of this, you help me so much :)

[@manoj7575]

Love your content ❤️, plz make a video on the other paid tools or apps you use !

[@josephcurtin840]

Thanks for the video, , new to Blender so it helps with optimizing my work flow. My girls really like the projects I complete of yours, don't really have any suggestions yet. Just keep up the great work!

[@volaksin5842]

This was really helpful!! Would love to see the workflow when combining live action footage with blender assets

[@fractalcucumber]

The AI upscaling is a massive game changer. Saves time and cost on your electricity bill 😂 I’m loving the new channel content, deep dives are needed to really understand topics.

[@mark-rutte]

I hope this channel will get a lot of love because it's an amazing idea!

[@Polyfjord2]

I will love it, which is why I’ve made it!

[@Coool666]

This could be the one channel that would be super helpful for a 3d artist.

[@7melvil584]

That's so nice as always!! Maybe a deep dive into minimalist/simple 3D design could be cool.

[@Polyfjord2]

Do you mean like more of an abstract style? Or isometric diorama type of scenes?

[@bjorngrauers]

@@Polyfjord2 Dont know exactly what 2Melvil meant but... I'd personally like to see more low poly scene animation, which is possible to do on a computer with less CPU and GPU power. Suggestion, what if you could do a challenge to make a realistic scene using all the tricks possible to reduce poly count but keep a sense of realism? perhaps how you can "cheat" using textures and instances, and make the lighting look realistic while keeping a low strain on GPU resources. I know you can use Evee but id prefer to learn the cycles workflow to prepare for when I can invest in hardware for proper animation work. Still just a hobbyist. I know it's not your typical style, but I really love your in-depth videos not only showing how to do but also why you use certain techniques. I want to do more animation but I feel so limited by my computing power on a MacBook m1 pro. But anyways, keep up the good work I really love the format of your videos. Extremely helpful! /Björn

[@blenderdad]

Glad to be here so early. Thanks for the inside. I‘m gonna hold on to Windows 10 until Microsoft delivers no more updates though 😅

[@qbukhari]

You have an unbelievable talent. Even better you have an excellent attitude and you are polite. You like to share it as well God bless you

[@joantorres119]

That's so cool

[@goodtoknow7627]

I'm genuinely checking your main channel thinking that i might have miss your latest but your are inactive for 1month.... and seeing this on your insta story ...soo happy 🫀

[@Polyfjord2]

Yeah I was on a long holiday! But now I'm back and ready to make some more stuff!!

[@chloed1811]

Recently watching the last mechanical walking creature tutorial, I'd be interested in what you change to improve your render within the compositor or DaVinci Resolve. What makes the difference between a basic render and the final result? What elements you need to improve? So hyped by the in depth videos. Love your work.

[@xanzuls]

As a Blender + Fusion user, I'd highly recommend you to do your compositing work in Fusion or use the standalone Fusion because it runs far better on windows. And speaking of Fusion, it was used a lot in movies and tv shows like a decade ago, solid AE, Nuke alternative.

[@dozycaterpillar9887]

Really good video! Can you also show us about geo nodes deeply, i mean some secret technics of yours. Thanks!😁

[@Polyfjord2]

Hmmm, I don't think it will be very deep, because I don't know geo nodes :D

[@ahmetmusaates7534]

davinci tutorials would be very much appreciated!

[@Claudienuss]

Thanks for your great tips and tricks, I am a big fan. Especially the professional tips regarding color management are very interesting. Always watch every Blender video directly! At 9:01 you use a mask for a vignette. There is also an effect in Davinci that does this even faster (called Vignette), if you don't know it yet. If you set this to "Advanced" you have even more settings. Also, a bit of the "Halation" effect would certainly look good in combination with Film-Grain on your videos. Are you working in "Davinci YRGB" or "Color Managed" mode in Resolve? Subscribe this guy, he knows what he's doing!

[@Polyfjord2]

Niiiice! Thanks for the tips!! I've been working in Color Managed when doing HDR stuff, but for SDR content I've used the default YRGB

[@hanktremain]

Great video man! and that update to the EXR workflow is really good to know. Strangely I'm now noticing those same highlight glitches even when using this Fusion OCIOColorspace method?? Any idea what could be causing it? same EXRs look fine viewed in Blender and GIMP?? Anyway, look forward to the next deep dive video.

[@TaskBar]

Love to see your Taskbar (:

[@Tizian_Pichler]

Nice Nice Nice More outstanding content from you. :)

[@hellbolato]

First of all congrats! All your videos are a goldmine to me, all that knowledge.. it's incredible! Plus you like what you do and that makes your videos really enjoyable. That's said, I'm wondering about the ways you integrate A.I into your workflow, I see here you're using Topaz's video upscaler, but have you played around with stuffs like the stable diffusion add-on in Blender or some webui/Colab to generate videos ?

[@Polyfjord2]

Thanks so much for the kind words!! I've tried the stable diffusion addon, yes, but I found it super hard to get good results with it! But right now the only AI aspect of my workflow is in upscaling, I've put AI generated images on hold for a moment. Perhaps I'll have to revisit it soon

[@ATLJB86]

I didn’t know you could change the viewer.. That’s one thing in blender that triggers me. Davinci Resolve handles that way better and is way more intuitive but knowing i can change it to djv makes all the difference for me.. Thanks!

[@FluxStage]

This was super great! Move of these! Now I'm googling the use of increasing the cache limit in blender. Since I just upgraded you and for a very long time went back to the greedy people at Nvidia. But damn does it work better with blender. Kjempe! 🦐

[@_S_P_A_C_E_M_A_N_]

You may want to consider ShareX as an alternative to Greenshot. It has a TON more functionality and is open source. It can also replace some of the other minor programs you use. I highly recommend it. I made the change and haven't looked back.

[@Polyfjord2]

Oooh cool! Thanks!

[@Ziiio]

6:36 I swear to god the Davinci Resolve startup photo is a restaurant located in Australia Melbourne. I know that shop! Also, polyfjord can you point me to a video that show how to work with light sources and stuffs? I couldn't find it

[@ShebanFPV]

Love your content, thanks very much for sharing the knowledge, appreciated indeed! Seeing all that new AI tech, I am wondering if the chaiNNer you showed in previous videos, is it still a viable option or do you find Topaz as a better performance/quality?

[@Titan058]

Can you please make a video on nodes in blender I mean all about nodes.

[@polstuff8959]

Damn, we're early

[@felixboachieyiadom4457]

we love you polyfjord

[@ChrisDjangoConcerts]

could you do a complete start to finish sound design tutorial, including mastering, mixing (compressiong voice) etc.

[@Polyfjord2]

I will do another sound design tutorial, yes! The focus will be on sound effects (not voice) though. But perhaps a general walkthrough video on how I make my tutorials could include something like that

[@RFIPARKOUR]

Hey ! I was here

[@gordonbrinkmann]

I was interested in using DJV as animation player (I discovered it is conveniently already there as a preset in the preferences so you don't have to use 'Custom' settings), but it is really a bummer that it removes hyphens or underscores from filenames so it does not find image sequences for playback when you use these characters.

[@AdrianoOliveiraUFC]

Hi. You better use Resolve Color Management to edit linear EXR. No need to use Fusion (slow). Just use Custom RCM, linear sRGB as input and set Input drt to none. No artefacts.

[@lucaswip2314]

Lets goooo

[@Rameshstardust]

Interesting 🤓

[@SpencerMagnusson]

Would be curious if you'd ever consider doing an add-on review/critique. I know you said you avoid using them for the sake of tutorial making, but I'd be curious of if that would interest you.

[@Polyfjord2]

Good point!! This could be much more relevant for this channel, yes!

[@tomjejojose]

Other video ideas... I almost always end up clogging all my system resources when I'm working on Architecture landscapes, usually involving a lot of particle systems for the ground, and vegetation... Any thoughts on how to optimize the workflow. I'm using low res textures whenever I can.

[@dariyglush4664]

Hey can you make a video about cinematic shot??

Thank you for all Only God can paid u

[@decimatestudios7686]

Following this video, I downloaded four new pieces of software.

[@utsavsinhzala]

I would like to know the workflow for Rendering Multilayer EXR from blender and Compositing in Davinci Resolve.

[@Bottoboi]

I'm pretty sure Davinci has its own upscale mode, avoiding the need for Topaz Video AI. Since you have Studio, you just need to right-click your timeline> Clip Attributes> and use the Superscale mode.

[@Polyfjord2]

Yes! I was using super scale before I got Topaz Video AI, and it’s very nice! Topaz is however a lot better right now, but superscale is really good too!

[@shubhendrapatel]

😍

[@Mix3Design]

hiii ❤️

[@govindyt301]

Please do a sound design tutorial....i totally clueless in that field...my sound design never sounds good

[@___x__x_r___xa__x_____f______]

just wondering if you think Topaz Video Ai is worth changing from Chainner that you previously used, and finally if Windows 11 is worth upgrading to. But most importantly, what was your method to clean install Windows 11? I am just unsure about it as of yet.

[@Ashish-wu5wc]

Sound design tutorial especially these mechanical creature walking with all those mechanical clicks synced with there walk i dont know if am explaining correctly

[@BalaAnimationStudios]

i have a super old laptop, even the blender viewport is very laggy, it's annoying to use blender, is there any setting to make it faster

Hello!

[@itsme_thegamer]

If you don't need that animation while switching between desktops you can go to settings and then turn off "show animations in windows"

[@Polyfjord2]

Ooooh nice! Does that disable all animations in the OS? I think I'd still want animations for minimizing windows and stuff, but I'm not sure

[@itsme_thegamer]

@@Polyfjord2 yes it disabled all the animations in windows

[@tomjejojose]

I notice banding on the lower half of your screen, is it a bitrate/compression thing ?

[@godotology]

[@mixchief]

@Polyfjord Deep Dive Do multiple desktops in Windows take a lot of extra memory or processing resources compared to just using one desktop and the same amount of apps running?

[@Polyfjord2]

I don’t think so!

[@tomjejojose]

So you take the 4k enhanced footage back into an FHD timeline? Won't that downscale the footage again, when you export it? I"m just asking coz, that's how premier works...

[@luuk889]

please tell me how did you remap youre mouse buttons, cause i have the same exact mouse and i just cant figure it out

[@Polyfjord2]

I used Logitech Gaming Software! And I saved onto the mouse itself, so you can uninstall it after you've remapped the buttons. Edit: I can highly recommend using that instead of using Logitech G Hub

[@raziazaki3582]

Your computer specifications ? Ram etc?

[@Legendary_Spy]

Earliest gang 🫵😮

[@InfinitySiam]

btw When you will start using Blender's Geometry Node or maybe Unreal Engine 5 or maybe Linux?

[@kaj4867]

If I remember correctly you were using DWAA compression in the DJV video, what made you switch to DWAB?

[@Polyfjord2]

I can't tell the difference myself, but supposedly DWAA is preferred when the software reads the image line by line (like Nuke does). But I think DJV, Blender and Resolve doesn't read the image like that, so DWAB should be faster in theory! But again, I haven't tested if there's any difference

[@kaj4867]

Hello polyjford, what would be the best specifications for a good laptop with a low end budget
