Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions in the comments below! :)
do you know weir i can find A animator for a RUclips Series I'm working on i love your work and it helps me a lot but theirs a lot i cant do and need the help
Great tip! Thanks!
Btw, in the case that you have a cut and split object you have first to select all the split parts and go to 'object>set origin> origin to center of mass' for making the tip work. I thought sharing the information may be helpful because I became puzzled working on a split object and found the solution after some search.
thank you
I really got here thinking you would key frame them one by one.. I was wrong big time and so happy I watched
Lol - this is much faster :)
@@TheCGEssentials thank you for this tip!
This may very well be one of my favourite Blender explainer videos ever. Made it so easy. Much appreciated bro.
Glad it helped!
Wow! amazing video CGEssentials!!! That video render looked amazing.
This turned out to be simpler than I thought. Thanks :)
Glad it helped!
Amazing tutorial Justin. May God bless you! :D
Brilliant.. Just what I needed. Thank you !
Thx mate! Great workflow 👌🏼
This is one of the coolest tutorials out on youtube. Thank you CG CG Essentials Essentials!!!
That is such a cool trick, I never gave locations transform a try!
For sure!
thanks so much for this. I found a tutorial from someone else that did the same thing, but a lot more complicated. Thank you for the simple lesson!
thanks, your tutorials are always explained in a very simple and clear way.
I could have used this system to make a small animation for a customer where it was necessary to "explode" the components of a product. But I didn't know this trick in Blender.
Glad I could help!
This was such a great video, thank you so much
thank you so much! It really helped me tremendously!
Congratulations on this excellent video
Pffft lol. I just came from the sketchup version of this because I was like, "ah cool, I want to do this in Blender" Much respect!
Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the exact video i was looking for, thank you
Great tutorial! Thanks a lot!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thx, very helpful for my school project👍
You are the best! Thanks a lot ✌🏻🌟
Thanks you very much, I was about to go to my project and was about to animate all the part individual and that would have taken like 2-3 hours, Such a timesaver way, thanks once again
Glad I could help!
thank u very much! its very usefull
Thank you ✌🏻🌱🌱
ty nice tutorial
Amazing!
Thanks!
Cool !!!!
If anyone does this for Unity, it's a good idea to first parent all objects to bones. Usually Unity has a hard time reading purely transform data of an object, so adding bones will make it easier to import directly from Blender.
Thanks great trick !
No problem!
Nice one. Just in time for a short 30 Sec video I need to do. Been putting this off for awhile because not knowing how to do this
Cheers & Thanks
Perfect! :)
Thanks for the tutorial. But in my case, the second I click "affect only -> locations" scaling doesn't work anymore and nothing happens :(
for me as well, did you find a fix?
i found my error, the transform pivot point (seen on the top bar in the middle) needs to be set to median point, not individual origins or one of the other options.
this video has helped me soooo much thank youuuu
Glad it helped!
@@TheCGEssentials could you make a video about how to make a loop cut on a pipe that has too many edges and doesn't let me select the plane I want to do the cut in?
Hai,ur videos are excellent. Can u make a video on how to do highlighting and drawing lines as done by some explainer videos like "Jared Owen Animations channel". I am not able to figure-out this simple thing?
Nice!
:)
I was looking for a stylish transformation of parts with nodes. Nice and simple technique for exploding assembly but this method is linear so components overlaps another and then assembled. For instance @7.38 the brown gear which passing through a solid component. we might want to separate those overlapping parts and transform subject to timing and orientation which looks perfect.
In case anyone else got the problem that the model doesnt explode upon scaling, try changing the "transform pivot point" (upper bar in the middle) to median point if you havent already.
I always get mini heart attack from your "huuuoo whatsup guys" :D :D
btw thanks for your videos, they helped me when I needed
Great tutorial!!! I love coming and checking out your tuts and laid back style. Keep it up! Just out of curiosity, as you work with the 'exploded' view, what if you want part of the clock to 'stick' with another part as it's exploding? So for instance, with the clock at 4:19, you want the 2 'brackets' to stick to the back of the clock board as it explodes, as if it were screwed there. But everything else does the location transform as you have it set up. Thanks!
I think you could just join the 2 brackets to the back of the clock before doing the explosion - (Ctrl + J)?
You could join them with Ctrl + J, but I suggest to use an object constraint (Child of). This way, you don't create unnecessary meshes and can still use the single objects if needed.
Ey boy!
I find another way to make this.
more control? Yes.
more random? Yes.
Yeeeees!
Yeeeees!
Cool ... I hoped that you also add a lighting + texture + background fast simple tutorial like the one you made
#question
There must be more to this because it simply doesn't work for me at all. I imported an OBJ project into Blender that was originally designed in Fusion 360. All the parts are separate, and origin is set in center of each object by surface mass. After selecting all the parts, then selecting "Locations" under "Affect Only", scaling does absolutely nothing. Any idea why? I tried importing the same project again but this time as STL (experimental), and it worked, so it must have something to do with the OBJ format. I would like to use OBJ instead of STL to preserve things such as textures.
same problem
thankyou so much for this tutorial it helped so much. I dont know where i would be without you. My father left me 5 years ago and since then i had no idea what to do. When i saw your video it gave me hope and i wanted be just like you. Now i am jeff bezos.
Hey Justin! Do you know how to import Inventor files into blender?
Could you do some videos of Product Animation for our Ecommerce users?
Hi, great tutorial! I have one question though, is it possible for you to make tutorial about sequential forming of some assembly? In this example you made an animation in which all the parts start and end its movement at the same time and I would like to make animation in which movement of parts will be sequential. Using this assembly for example, if I wasn't completely clear, it would go something like this:
1. assembly of few parts closest to plate
2. assembly other few parts that are closest to previous assembled parts and so on until complete assembly is formed.
Also, if I may ask could it be possible for you to do it using Action Editor because I need it for my following manipulation of that animation in Unity.
In Modo I used such an exploded mesh for baking HP->LP. Not tried it in Blender yet
Interesting - I haven't tried Modo yet
Mass bro
??
@@TheCGEssentials meaning : vera level brother
wtf i do it manually before watch this video , thanks for the tutorial
N I C E !
Thanks!
the thing of it is you can only do one model at a time... if you have multiple models in one scene it won't work
3:48 i had this too on a project, no idea why but hitting shift+d to duplicate the keyframes seem to work...
for some reason i think copy paste keyrframes is bugged?
how to do the same thing with the middle keyframes? I want to pause the parts while its in the exploded view and start assembling again after 100 frames. Im not able to copy-paste the keyframes in the same location for exploded view
Change the middle keyframe's Interpolation Mode to 'Constant', now move forward in time a little bit and with all objects selected, hit I on the keyboard and create a new keyframe. now change the interpolation back to whatever you want and all should be good.
Okay let me see if it works
This was so fucking good
Very help full... if you have time could you make video "powder flow in pipe" animation. 😉 thanks you.
Powder in a pipe?
@@TheCGEssentials yes like particel/powder in a pipe and blown by the wind with a few elbows..😉
Hi, i try this method on separate object, it does not work, may i know if there is prerequisite for the exploded view
Try Selecting all of them and right click > origin > origin to geometry and then continuing
Hi there bud I would really like to know how to explode a model into pieces and then be able to move them individual pieces around independently is this possible in Blender many thanks
Maybe just keyframe each piece with separate movement. Not easy, but possible and satisfying... Exploded parts should keep the same movement.
i want the animation in one direction only how can i do that
can you please tell me why it isn't working for me??
hi can we do this on sketchup or lumion?
Yeah, but this particular animation could be tricky in Lumion
Hi iven been watching your videos like crazy...
I would be insane crazy if to model a home in a kind of down hill style like one end of the home 30cm and the other end 1.80m with some step by step guide with some grass below hope it’s not to much to ask thx u in advance would love to watch from start to end and give some likes if I could give u more than 1 like I would of give u thousands.
3d packages are so deep. Is any1 familiar with all there features.
I am. Hahaha
Keep at it, and you may get there too.
Well you really don't HAVE to be familiar with all the features. Just learn the ones relevant to what you're trying to do. For example - I don't really know a whole lot about the sculpting tools right now. That's ok because I don't do sculpting much, and if I start, I'll worry about those tools them
never mind I fixed it
it's not working for me
Legitimately could've been a 15 second video
I mean...feel free to make that I guess
You obviously haven't seen a Blender Guru tut.
