[@zoujunjie101]

Great Tutorial. I paused every 2 seconds and I learned quite a lot of short cuts from here. The explanation was simple and straight forward. I spent 2 hours to do this but I think it's totally worth it!

[@polygonrunway]

Glad you liked it!

[@WastedDad]

I have it set to half speed and have to keep rewinding just to keep up.

[@dwiandrianto2689]

Hello, please help me, why i cant apply shape key "active shape key index property cannot be animated"

[@kaifshoukat3810]

i accidentally did this too, you don't click on the shape key, you click the timer kinda thing right beside the name of the shape key in this case its key 1 or 2

[@yaramoz7691]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice, i have repeat your tutorial
Thank you!

[@beeneummuigai8353]

Love you mahn.....
Keep it up 😉

[@earthmatters2869]

I request you to make low poly holicopter and rigging toturials.

[@jignoowignoo6528]

Can we please have a tutorial about creating the Web UI. That would be awesome.

[@deepraval.tcupod]

Great tutorial, but I want to ask that what were the max samples for exporting this animation?

[@gerdsfargen6687]

I love hearing Arnold Schwarzenegger narrate these tutorials.

[@Захаров-м1к]

15:20, I do the same, but when I scale on z z, it doesn't work properly, please help

[@kaifshoukat3810]

i think you rotated in the edit mode

[@hazwanthesolutions6320]

halo, can I get your shortcut VUr for my software?
thank you

[@aliqasem6733]

Good work

[@SebastianRamirezH]

question: why do you prefer to add circles instead of cylinder, if the cyliner is a circle extruded? the same for the cube, a plane is a extruded cube? I am a newbie and that is something I asked to myself in all your videos hehe

[@polygonrunway]

Because I want the origin point at the bottom of the object and its quicker for me to add circle and extrude, than to add cylinder, position it and the move its origin point using cursor ;)

[@SebastianRamirezH]

@@polygonrunway ohhh ok. Completely crear! Thank you!!!!

[@wwisamm1411]

This really amazing work , but what is the benefit of making like these animation / or blender general ?

[@bogumiwyrwa216]

Great tutorial.
Do you know how to export this animation to Unity game engine?

[@kafedral1]

thnx

[@user-bm2lw8wl4n]

How do you know when to use Calculate normal?

[@polygonrunway]

mostly when extruding and object from a flat geometry, or from a edge line. Blender has no information to correctly place normals in those cases.

[@lxic-bz8hf]

great tutorial, thank you 🙏🏻

[@yonatanmaor2153]

I'm getting a really low frame rate whenever the animation for the cannon is running (after the changes to the shape keys)
Has anyone run into this?

[@Honkry]

When I bevel the sides near the cannon nothing happens what do I do?

[@Toeristx]

You have to unselect the Clamp Overlap option in Bevel > Edges > Geometry . Hope this helps.

Great video, I learned a lot. thanks for that. but its render so slow.
My laptop:
MSI GF75 Thin 10UEK-054 i7-10
16GB 512GB RTX3060 windows 10
Is it normal that it has been rendering for 10 hours and it's only at frame 38?

[@polygonrunway]

With RTX3060? No, thats not normal. Make sure you have CUDA or OptiX active in the settings -> system, then make sure you have GPU compute selected as rendering method in render settings, and then make REALLY sure, you're not rendering at default 4000 samples per frame in render settings. If you enable render denoising, scene like this should be fine with 256 samples

[@Ayu_Kaju]

@@polygonrunway Thanks for the answer. cuda and gpu were already enabled. but in the video sequencer the limit was 4096. I changed it to 256. i will try. And great content.🙂 thanks a lot.

[@Unknown3DBlender]

can you do hard surface modelling sir....

[@Unknown3DBlender]

[@lisadavinci6255]

like like sir

[@letthatbe]

Why does the rendering took so long?

[@polygonrunway]

Check your samples

[@letthatbe]

@@polygonrunway thank you it reduced way too much :)

[@RavishingRoyce]

when I try to bevel the tower things get all wanky and the bevel looks all distorted and doesn't have soft edges

[@himthaf]

Use the bevel modifier.

[@RavishingRoyce]

I had to select my tower, tab into edit mode, select all, and do merge by distance through the F3 - search function... Now my bevel modifier is working properly

[@KwameGyanko]

@@RavishingRoyce needed this for a model. Thank you!
