Woah, this is amazing!! 😍
Thanks so much! Keep up the awesome work!
BIG FAN ! for both of you 😁
@@thedemonicbunny1747 same!!1!!!!
No way Nerdforge here! Love your work!!!
@nerdforge Hear me out, what if you make a real model based on his model
I love this nerdforge format. It's lovely to see you implement it here within blender 😂
Agreed!! Hope I didn't copy them too much in this video. Just got so inspired when you can see the progress so easily!
@@Polyfjordwait are we referring to the "X vs Y vs Z amount of resources" format? I mean.. That's.. Kind of an old thing. We did that as kids in high school in arts and music classes. I wouldn't call "giving yourself progressively more resources to see the outcome" necessarily anyone's specific format. I mean, the UK even did that with colonies :'D
hey poly, how do u do these timelaps szenes in blender? never seen that before and i neeeed that so much!@@Polyfjord
@@bUildYT I used a blender addon called Timelapse Tool
@@Polyfjord i see, thats very very cool, will use it too, u r amazing and a great inspiration, thx for ur videos!
You're probably the most qualified person to tell us how much time it takes to model each spaceship in Star Citizen.
yeah you also have to model the interior which means you either spending at least 100+ hours
Presets
Yeah no, for as much as I love Polyfjord, this is nowhere near close even the design style of Star Citizen. Let's just say spaceships are not his strong point.
@@achillesworks I Agree. These are more like No Mans Sky spaceships as far as design and style. Star Citizen is on a completely different level
@@EpicOD11 10 years and 600mil$ is also another level, vs a couple of weeks and doing it for some youtube revenue ;)
I'm not an artist, I'm a software developer... but i really identify with the way in which you spent so much time thinking about landing gear and ended up with a final product with no landing gear.
Ah yes the space ship that has an exposed deck you can walk on and enjoy while cruising in space
"If this was made by atrist - engineer will cry".
lets uh i uh maybe we can say its for when they enter the atmosphere and it becomes a glorified plane until landing
I'd imagine that it has one of those screens that the fighters leave and enter though in star wars. but clear.
there is something called spacesuit
Ah ok gotta go get some fresh air
I love that format. I especially like that it shows that modelling isn't as quick as one might think. It gives me motivation, because as a beginner modeller (I have experience with Blender, but not with modelling that much) everything seems just to be slow when modelling something with high quality (when you compare it to e.g. creating materials).
I’ve seen your instagram posts on your spaceship project and I swear the level of detail is insane, it boggles one’s mind😂
I am so blown away by the 10-hour one, at like 18 minutes in and have to pick my jaw off the floor. Polyfjord's ability and creativity are beyond my imagination, so I just have to watch and be impressed. :)
everything started out looking goofy af, but each time they turned out simply top notch. you're on a different level. highly inspirational. great work.
i have to say i agree. however the stage being outside of the space ship seems odd as well as the rails. assuming that the majority of the time the ship will be in space.
it's unbelievable how good your blender workflow is, extremely inspiring and great to look at!
If there are people who are interested in how to create a time lapse like at 15:59 , he used an addon called "Timelapse Tool"
Had this exact same question. Thanks a ton !
The general style of the second one really gave off the feeling of a society that got so advanced at physics and technology that it was more pertinent to make cool and aesthetic designs, but the 100 hour design was just absolutely gorgeous. It really makes me want to get used to Blender's hotkeys and learn them so finding the tools doesn't interrupt my workflow :P
i wish there existed accessible technology that i could just take a tour of the gigantic ship coz it looks absolutely huge and beautiful i must say. 100 hours seems like a long time but not even close enough time i'd need to make such a ship from scratch. amazing work as always!
Star Citizen dude. There's some pretty massive ships in game, one took me half hour to walk around and I'm still discovering new rooms on it
I love watching people model on blender because it's so fluid, almost like an extension of your mind and hands.
It definitely feels like that sometimes!!!!! And then other times it just doesn’t flow at all
16:25 Could you please make a tutorial on those trails? That's so damn cool.
Dude the timelapse footage of the viewport is SO cool!
how do you achieve it?
@@pZq_ Drag the corner of your viewport to duplicate it. Then hold down SHIFT and drag the corner of the duplicated window you want to have separated from Blender. After that move this floating viewport to another monitor. Now in OBS Studio record this monitor while working.
@@Polypal3D but how do you think he was slightly rotation around the object while filming?
@@Heisenberg48346 he made a camera following a circle path (or every kind of path) while having a constraint (track to) an empty object. If you do this the camera will always point to the empty while moving. You can move this empty where ever you want to have your fucus. He recorded this camera view in the second monitor while working with the key animation started. The camera movement must be very slow to have this slightly movement. In post you do the speed up.
Norway just looks so great! That spaceship in the end was SO detailed! Insane stuff.
Oh, my God, I'm just speechless! This is unbelievable! You're an inspiration to continue learning Blender.
your projects , tutorials and videos really are "out of this space" ! Amazing.
im still coping with the fact a spaceship has outdoor railing
I am literally blown away by how good the final spaceship looks. Heck, even the first ones looked good!
Always an insane level of detail in your work.....too good
This is unreal man! Its like something straight out of a movie! I always love to watch a pro at work. Thank you
always taking it to another level. Awesome work and video!
Exclusive Star Citizen Ship designer team footage
That was insane. Loved watching the process! Could you also make any sort of megastructure? I'm currently learning Blender and excited about working on big buildings tbh :D
Love this type of content, really pushes your creativity to the next level. Great video and WHAT A SPACESHIP! Absolutely every single part of it
Thanks so much!! I appreciate that
Idk how much sense balconies on a spaceship make, but call it a forcefield cus this looks sick.
Whilst it looks incredible, I think walking balconies and an outdoor amphitheater are interesting choices for a spaceship. Imagine slipping off in low orbit and falling thousands of feet; in open space, you would potentially just float away. Also those jets would probably make some of those sections kind of toasty. Feels in many ways more like a hovering cruise ship than a true space faring vessel, but that's fine, still looks jaw-dropping.
This is amazing! I really like how each of the ships grew with the scale of the time invested! Also, not going to lie, I find the idea of having premium apartments with thrusters directly above to singe your hair deeply amusing.
16:06 how, just how, did you make those modelling timelapses!? 😮🔥
He put there a camera and assing a view to the camera. Then just recorded that 3d view while modelling in a another 3d view. Probably
@@keremayan452 That might be it for some of them, but iin one of the shots the camera rotates within blender, and I can't wrap my head around how he did that
@@Holm55 maybe he just animated the camera, you know you can press i to insert keyframes
He said he used a Addon name timelapse tool
This should be the way in every project! btw.. the last one is insane!
Man! this series is great! Please, make more of this challenges
I love those timelapses, would be curious how you went about doing that! Great results and workflow.
Drag the corner of your viewport to duplicate it. Then hold down SHIFT and drag the corner of the duplicated window you want to have separated from Blender. After that move this floating viewport to another monitor. Now in OBS Studio record the second monitor while working on your first monitor.
Bro made in one hour what i have done in my blender 2 year journey, keep up the good work always ❤
Honestly, the first hour of the first spaceship was a lot more difficult than the first hour of the 100h spaceship. Just practicing those two times made a huge difference!! So I wouldn't be discouraged! (Also I should add that doing jumpcuts and timelapses makes stuff appear *a lot* more impressive than it felt like actually modeling)
@@Polyfjord Yeah the final one was astonishing and more different. And i look forward to your upcoming unique ideas
That may be one of the best 3d modeling timelapses I've ever seen. Amazing vid all around. Thanks for sharing.
amazing idea & great result! 👏🏻
This videos are always so relaxing and as a blender user, when you actually understand what is going on is so interesting Btw: breathtaking views 2nd edit: what a beast of a laptop, the few times I've tried to do motion tracking, my PC goes crazy slow, and I can't believe you managed to do that in the middle of a mountain with an actually portable laptop, I know it's not a complex scene, but still impressive
Amazing video!! You enspired me to do something similar to get back into blender! Thanks!:D
This was a very inspiring project, expecting more!
Im a game developer, i made the game dominating the skies on opera gx, at one point i wanted to create the space ships for my game in 3d even though the game is 2d, but my 3d skills were not enough for me, and so this video was very interesting to see, i was impressed by how much you are advanced in making 3d ships, this must took you a lot of time to get this fluid, really great job
amazing job done in this video! how did you do this rotating viewport timelapse @17:38?, it looks really cool!
this is the quality content i am missing .............. hats off bro n the amount of detail and the cinematography when modelling the ship is just awesome love from india
We can all aggre that polyfjord is the best Blender youtube to be
It's like you surpass yourself on every new video, thats amazing. Your work deserves the best, congrats bro.
my highlight of the video “there’s the captain.. oop.. de-capitaine” made me chuckle! splendid work poly!
Imagine, 3000 years from now, someone will be building your Space Cruise Ship for real 😅 Congratulations Polyfjord, it is stunning. And those timelapse recordings made a huge impact on the end result. It really shows the effort and determination to bring your creation into the real world and make it feel alive👍 A lot of people are taking this kind of work for granted so this shows the reality behind the scenes. Also loved the open "Arena" where your character was making like a joy dance 🤩 This will certainly bring inspiration to all new and experienced Blender users. Keep it going and keep having fun ✌️ I'm wondering what you would have done in 200 hours 🤔😉
That wouldnt be possible, beacuse of the design of the ship. This isnt boat but a space ship and while he was making this he didnt do enough research on spaceships in my opinion to make this a realistic spaceship that could work.
@@amin1mrx965 Lol, you don't want to know how the future is going to be.
@@amin1mrx965 we have different concern, mine was... after 3,000 years, humans still uses a propulsion? lol
Welcome to Fhloston Paradise! Awesome work, man. Love your dedication to the art!
Im absolutelly stunned by this guy s creativity and skills. Incredible renders
Very great Video. I'm wondering how you made the timelapse scenes like at 16:06 with the slow moving camera and or rotating object ( 16:37 ) inside blender.
Thanks!! I used a Blender addon called Timelapse Tool!
yes please. if anyone know
I was wondering the same thing!! XD I'm going to use that so much now haha. Thx @@Polyfjord
I am deeply impressed by your work. It is truly exceptional and deserves all the praise! 😍
3D modelling ontop of a mountain sounds incredibly cozy
This gives you an idea how much work is required in video games. It’s just not modeling. It’s modeling, illumination, animation, stage design, rendering and scripting. Yes these guys are overworked and underpaid. The level of sophistication requires a ton of architecture, animation, visual scripting, coding and a ton of knowledge in discrete geometry. The average work of animators are 1,000 hours for a true satisfactory result. This includes research, development and construction of tools for a particular result. These programs are getting deeper and more complex demanding constant education on the practitioner. Thank you so much illustrating the painful process of geometry modeling and animation.
Always a pleasure seeing a new upload on this channel. One of the best out there
sounds like a fun personal project. sweet vid
This video helped so much , as someone with adhd i get bored/distracted and want to move on to other projects to quick if the current one is taking too much time for what i want from it, seeing this helps me know even the best of people need to put the time in to get something amazing. my 1-10 hour projects come out like yours do so this actually gives me the motivation to put the extra time in and just see what happens. Thank you, great vid as always
You should create a complete crash course of blender which I would 100% watch, learn and enjoy. There are a lot of blender creators and many tutorials and crash courses, however your style, pace, effort is exceptional so you creating a crash course would be a G which I would most likely 100% commit to and watch.
So far, you are the most dedicated person to blender that i have ever seen.
this is the sort of fun you can only have when you really understand what your doing
Motion control type timelapse WHILE modelling in Blender whaaaaaat amazing video
Absolutely gorgeous. My favourite is the 10h one because I love cargo ships! Well done
Congrats for the innovative content. I like your style of integrating sponsored hardware that you make use ;)
Dude I just love you, seriously I’m here since your very early vids, and I can’t stop looking at them
Man hats off to you. You really committed to making a monster spaceship.
I'm surprised you didn't start with a rough sketch. It's such a valuable part of the design process, I think it could have improved the design by significant margins.
alright ive seen a number of blender videos and yeah these are clips edited together but damn this is some impressive blendering and mastery of the tool. Feels really great that this free open source tool is now no longer something that you have to worry about whether you're "missing out" on capabilities from the other pro tools.
Great work man, I've had a little creative break from Blender but you inspire as always. That laptop performance blew my mind too.
The amount of work you put in this video is absolutely astonishing, really well done 😮
Always an insane level of detail in your work.....too good. always taking it to another level. Awesome work and video!.
Blender Guru might be a Blender Guru, but you are a Blender God
Really cool! I fell like I'm 1000 years away from having a workflow like yours.
15:00 I love the alpine scenery in Norway, very beautiful!
gotta say, that 1 hour one would have taken me approximately 4 days, good vid
Just watched Star Wars and this is the first thing that i see in my recommended. Perfect.
Perfect indeed!
lets all agree. the 10H one in the thumbnail looks the best
great video brother I loved it!
Awesome! Well done dude. :)
really really nice done i really like how you put so much effort in this one video instead of clickbating
Oh god.. it’s so mind blowing ❤️
Really nice work, nothing beats buying a luxury cabin in the back of the cruise ship, next to the rumbling motors and having the side thrusters blast down right outside your balcony :D ...
Amazing!! What a cool experiment/challenge. You’re videos always pump me up
He makes it look so easy to model a spaceship like that, and wow he has a lot of creativity, well done it looks amazing…you deserved yourself a subscribe🎉🎉
Woh, this is crazy. So inspirational! Thank you for sharing this :)
dude this is incredible. the detail on that 100 hours one 😮
those thrusters are just wonderful
That's really inspiring to see you making beautiful space ship . I really wanna try out this 1hr,10hr,&100hrs, format 🌼🌼🌼
I like mostly the second one, but last one is so super realistic!
Me and one if my friends love to watch you videos, and we love to make things inspired by your animations and models.
Man, please dont stop posting videos, i love it, it makes my day, you really inspire me
This is so cool. So much effort put into this video it's insane and I respect it so much
Guess who just lost their artist's block!!! 😯 I am absolutely in love with that last design!!
This. This right here. This is why I want to learn blender. You’re a legend dude, keep it up
the quality this guy reach in everything is crazy, keep it up man!
Wow, amazing work! As a person who could build that as a model but couldn’t come up with the ideas myself, I really appreciate what you did. On a side note, the last one started out looking like the star liner from Wall-E. Lol
Bro took "Get some ideas" to a completely different level, even space ships lose to him in space
I loved this! You had me screaming when the time lapse modeling had an animated camera! HOW!?? hahah keep it up
Not sure how I found your video but I've always been curious about how these types of things are created and have a huge appreciation for artists with skills and talents like this. I have zero artistic ability so seeing this blows my mind. Amazing!
This was amazing!! How did you record the timelapse of the modeling process that was spinning at the same time??
Damn that is so good, making a spaceship in 100 hours. Starting with simple cube. Also using drone footage with video tracking on a laptop. All the way to the finished result Polyford you are the Man.
the last ship looks really cool, and idk if this was intentional, but it looks like a cruise ship
Of course Luc Besson's The 5th Element comes to mind. What a classic!
