Ever since I started watching polyfjord in 2020 I wanted to make 3d animations but didn't have a pc now I do and I'm able to learn blender with polyfjord tutorials and it brings me so much joy. Thank you polyfjord:')
I've never heard of drivers before, nor have I ever used the deform modifiers. These tools and techniques are perfect for a project I"m planning on making. Thanks for another tutorial! :)
I love your tutorials....so well done. Then seeing your amazing render at the end is like a homework assignment with a few added tasks to achieve something similar with the smooth camera motion. Had to go back and find the vid you did Mar 10, 2020 on that topic. I've spent a couple nights on my own version, and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Keep up the great work Asbjørn! Thank you for the inspiration.
I did your animating tutorial with the spider bot (the original one with 4 legs, not the latest) and used a driver so any time I moved the character in the world, the legs will walk accordingly with the movement. I'd love to see a way we can set up a procedural animation process like other 3D software has, because right now it looks perfect when I move forward or backward, but let's say you want to animate along a path with turns, the character doesn't bend or bank around turns naturally. I think this gives me a better understanding of drivers so now I want to revisit it! Thank you!
I am currently working with i5-1035G1 & Geforce MX250. As I am a beginner what should I basically focus on: ( Stormy Ocean, Wine glass with liq simu, donut/icecream tut, smoke/fireball, light bulb on table, Cave with monster, forest already done) A) Modeling B) Character modeling C)Focus more on photoshop D)Grease pensil and 2D animation E) Other suggestions Buying a new PC/Laptop or renting a rendering firm is way off the charts.
Great video, thanks! I'll definitely use this in my next animation project. I've only used #frame in the past, so discovering the full power of drivers is amazing!
I thought I accomplished something similar through modifiers and constraints by attaching a hook to the top face of the cube, creating another empty controller in front like you did and putting a damped track and maybe copy rotation constraint each at .5 influence targeting the controller empty... Then I noticed I didn't get the amazing ability to twist it into a screw or truly bend side to side since you can't slide a subdivision before the hook modifier and it's just based on the relative movement of the top face. So it can "look", but it's not truly alive. I learned twice today!
If anyone has trouble with the N panel not showing the needed fields, don't drag and select the 'keyframe' (the link) in the driver editor, instead while the cube is selected, _click_ on the 'keyframe'. Also if your cube is twisting the wrong way, go into the field where he added the variable expression in the driver editor, and type in the minus sign to fix it. (Ex: var *-0.5) That should fix it. (Blender version 3.6)
this might a bit of a begginer question, since i havnt done much of anything, but: for the end animation, how did you make the target for the twist and bend lag behind the light? its a much smoother motion compared to how the light is moving
I copied the keyframes from the empty target to the visible light, and then offset the animation for the empty target by 3-4 frames. It's an extremely efficient way to make a character "react" to something happening! Highly recommended
You know that feeling when you see a video in your recommend page which has come out like 10 seconds ago and you like it immediately and comment "first"... yeah. me neither
I put my ride service driver in a blender. You guys (other blender trainers) should get together and work on a movie. When you train, it could be training for that movie, but then also make $ off selling the movie to someone (perhaps themed in a way that could be sold as a sim ride at a theme park or something, or a full length movie if you get enough people together).
No polyfjord video is complete without an amazing render. Thank you for this amazing tutorial
and sound design!
The end animation is so simple yet so pleasing to the eye...
The last 10% of a Polyfjord video is always so epic! It's like an M Night Shamalyn movie ending...only 1000x better
Ever since I started watching polyfjord in 2020 I wanted to make 3d animations but didn't have a pc now I do and I'm able to learn blender with polyfjord tutorials and it brings me so much joy. Thank you polyfjord:')
Thanks for watching!!
We are so so so ready for that glass tutorial. Wonderful work as always, great livestream!
Gods second son has once again blessed us with his knowledge. My thankfulness can not be expressed through words.
He really is Blender Jesus.
Idiot God has no son
So glad to see you turning that great live stream into easily digestible videos! Excited to your final render for the space one
I've never heard of drivers before, nor have I ever used the deform modifiers. These tools and techniques are perfect for a project I"m planning on making. Thanks for another tutorial! :)
People adore you for the renders, I adore you for your sound design. Absolutely proud to see your channel bloom. Been here since the start. :)
Thank you kindly!!! That means a lot to hear ❤️
I've seen many complex tutorials on this, but you make it simple and easy. Even writing an expression has become logical. Thanks!
Bro's thumbnails are better than other tutorials!
Magic once again by polyfjord.
oh my that render is absolutely beautiful and the techniques i learnt will definitely help in the future
This is the best free software Ive seen. Respect.

This was just WOW. I only knew #frame as a driver. But this changes everything... It'll definitely help me make some cool stuff.
Love it - these are great tips for blender
Yo Polyfjord! Cool to see you learn drivers, i’m a rigger so i use these alot in my workflow.
nice tut on drivers.
You just put our banger after banger I just appreciate it so much. Also the cube is cute this is perfect for some marshmallow animations
thank you so much for these tutorials. They are incredibly helpful!
IT WORKED, THANKS I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS FOREVER, BUT NO TUTORIAL COULD EXPLAIN IT AS YOU DID
This is amazing! I've tried to learn drivers before but couldn't understand. But this video made them so easy!
this is great. Will use :)
This was such an interesting video, I got so many ideas watching that cube move like that 🙌🏼
Well explained, kept short, very informative and with a lovely demonstration animation with shadow caustics activated at the end of it 🙌💪👌
So useful. Hardly ever talked about
Thank you saved me a lot of time trying to browse videos for an actual working one
I was afraid of drivers, didn't know what to do with them. But you have made them easy for me to understand.
Yooo the caustics in the end!!! Sweet stuff 👌
Awesome dude! You’re opening my creativity so much
Super tutorial - simply explained and without frills 🙂
Nice video in the morning(I watched this at 5:19 am)... Now I want to make marsmellow animation

How did you do this? Like what did the drivers look like
I would also love to know how you did this.
Best Author
Toller Clip, super erklärt wie immer. Danke.
IT'S ALWAYS THE UNDERRATED VID THAT'S LEGIT! THANK YOU!
I was just looking for help on drivers, and then you uploaded! Today is a good day.
Glad I could help my friend!!
Thanks a lot your tutorials are so helpful every time 👍👍👍👍

keep up the tutorials. They're fantastic!
Very quick and simple to understand, Thank you! 💖
Awesome tutorial, simple, to the point, easy to follow. Liked and subscribed. Thanks!

Love It! Thanks so much for this!
Ty, since I started 3d as a hobby, I always wanted to animate Kirby, but it's actually really hard. This will help me a lot xd.
The right place to learn drivers. thanks a lot
I love this simple one .. so powerful yet easy to use .. Thx and keep up 💕🙏🏻
This is crazy I remember rigging in maya over ten years ago. You had to come up with crazy scripts to achieve this
Thank you, this was exactly what I was looking to try out this weekend!!

Clear and Simple, thanks.
Super Cool Effect
thanks, it actually let me through so i could download it.
Thanks for this quick tutorial!
It looks so much like old-school veggietales! hahah
More amazing possibilities!!! My mind is in overdrive now(again)....thank you :-)
why is nobody talking about those caustics wth
Always epic man! Keep being inspiring!
nobody in the world has ever explained drivers so essily
great talks on the conference BC 2022....
thx for your hard work and sharing this skills knowleadge...
Thats Awesome Sir
Ill need to look at this video again
Nice work man
Thank you, it works perfect!
it's tutorials this good that make blender so good to use and learn, compared to say houdini tutorials.
You know that feeling when you see a video in your recommend page which has come out like 10 seconds ago and you like it immediately and comment "first"...
yeah. me neither
Now I can animate a veggie tales character 🤣 great tutorial as usual!
Once again, amazing content.
I put my ride service driver in a blender.
You guys (other blender trainers) should get together and work on a movie. When you train, it could be training for that movie, but then also make $ off selling the movie to someone (perhaps themed in a way that could be sold as a sim ride at a theme park or something, or a full length movie if you get enough people together).
Pls continue to do more of those kind of livestreams
A bit dissappointed that you didn't give it cartoon eyes at the end render.
But GREAT video as always! 💚 Keep it up!
Thank you so much bro. Sending virtual hugs. Worked like a charm ;-)
*That's so cool! ♡*
Its so freaking good. Thanks a lot of perfect tutorial. I`ll use it soon.
SUCH a useful tool to add my my arsenal :D
amazing
really helpful tutorial, thank you. but is it possible to make the empty object move with the cube and not have the modifier values change?
This is so cool... So awesome! I really love it. ❤️
ITS REALLY WORKED LOL THANK YOU DUDE
Hope to geo node tutorials in the future.
Simple and genius
Oh my I’m so inspired
Great one!
Great video. Any resource to learn camera smooth movement?
