I have to say I am truly blown away by all the heartwarming comments. Thank you for all the kind words - I am glad you like my video! This 54 min tutorial became a compromise between a 10 min shallow breakdown, and a 4 hour in-depth course. I am concerned beginners may get annoyed it’s too fast-paced, and experts will be waiting for me to get to the point. However, if you get stuck or need help with your mechanical creature, I can recommend joining the discord server: discord.gg/polyfjord. We just got discord partner, so there is a thriving community of like-minded 3D artists eager to give you some pointers for the right direction, or just have a chat! Welcome to the Polyfjord Viewport Community! (Edit: Fixed link)
I loved this length. It was detailed enough that I got everything I needed out of it. Perfect compromise
I'll be telling a math teacher that 0 is basically infinity because Polyfjord said so, haha. But seriously, thanks for the tutorial, man! Your work is always incredibly well done. Tusen Takk!
please make a tutorial on Tron light cycle trail
It’s completely perfect length not to long not to short, it’s entertaining with some creative though process, it helps a lot to not just copy but understand how to use that knowledge in personal workflow, now waiting for more complex animation tutorial, with actions and NLE used it would be amazing
I'm a beginner and I loved this!
This might end up being the best blender tutorial of 2022.
Of course it would
💯%
nah he made the 4 robot arms one a few months ago. never saw a blender tutorial reach 27M in views
the brain fart was the cerry on top
I agree
Polyfjord: "I'm not a big fan of modeling" Also Polyfjord - Models like a maniac with unfathomable speed and precision. You're pretty darn good at modeling for someone who doesn't even like it that much haha. Great stuff!
"im not like, a modeling expert..." *models like an expert
@@totallynotlucca9264 Exactly lol
LOL EXACTLY
He must do it faster so he can get over with it sooner.
I just watched 5-7 of his blender tutorials just to see him make things, i don't even know how to use the blender. The workflow is just wow.
you know what? the most amazing thing is not the beauty of the model, the precision of the animation. No, it is about how accurate and fast you work. it is mind-blowing. I wish one day I can work just like you. God bless you, man. Please we need more and more of this.
Thank you man!!
your render cinematic is always amazing. the depht of field and the focal lenght is always chef kiss
You are so wonderfully unique, maybe even a bit weird (in the best way possible)... Your workflows and your creative processes are so chill, and you really go with the flow.. There is never a dull or boring moment with these tutorials, really inspirational... It's an exciting time when a polyfjord video pops up in feed.
If you have problems at 35:00 with the "Follow Path" (leg just flipping straight) just select the curve and press Ctrl+A and apply everything. I saw this solution further down the comments and thaugt to bring it up. Polyfjord thank you so much for this tutorial
CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A SIMPLE VIDEO CLIP FOR THIS PROBLEM?
Oh my god, thank you so fucking much. All the other comments on this problem never helped.
it worked thanks
You're a HERO Thanks
Thank you very much it saved a lot of time👏👏
After weeks of being afraid to start this one, I finally did it. It was the most valuable ten hours (!) ever. Thank you so much for giving this tutorial to the world. You just gave me a reason to be proud of myself for finishing this. I learned SO much.
I’m so glad to hear that!! Thanks for the kind words!
I love how even though you were basically done you still kept adding small details, that's how you make a render *really* amazing, thanks for the great tutorial!
54:00 That’s insaneeeee!!! I’d love to see a tutorial that explains the making of this robot! All the details look soooo goood!!! I really enjoyed this new video! Thank you for putting some effort into making these amazing “tutorials”!
Yes man exactly my thought!
When I press shift + i at 22:31, the Add Ik option does not appear, what is the reason?
@@iko3D You might not be in the pose mode. it only works inside the pose mode, not the edit mode. and make sure you have an active bone selected. (light blue color means active bone)
I'd like to know how the bubbles in the tubes are made
@@artlab_one If I had to guess I'd say he used a glass shader for the transparent part and an emission shader for the blue glow and mixed them with a mix rgb node with a voronoi texture plugged into the factor. Animation was probably done by animating the voronoi texture using the location on mapping node.
What I really love about this is the demonstration of basic, really good principles that are totally lacking from other videos. The re-use of basic elements to save time, the approximation to make things look "good enough", and the emphasis on good shapes over complex designs is really nice and something other youtubers seem to either completely drop from their tutorials, or sometimes even just lack as skills.
I wanted to watch just a little bit and save it to "watch later", but I couldn't stop watching it, it's amazing
Polyjford, you are not just any old blender content creator, You are THE BEST Blender content creator. I have been watching your tutorials for about two years now and i have got to say your style of explaining the fundamentals of blender is like no other person. You make the hardest and comlex things seem easy by showing it to us from a different perspective. To me and many other people, your tutorials have a special place in our hearts. THEY ARE FANTASTIC. They are like shining stars in the sky to guide people who are new to blender. I give my thanks you Polyjford from deep within my heart for creating these wonderful tutorials, thank you Polyjford
the fact that not only this video is a great tutorial but also that we can see the whole créative process of the final render makes it for me the best blender videoon youtube ! keep up the good work man hope to see your next videos !!!
It amazes me how much you can get done with a relatively few amount of modular parts for these types of mechs. Thanks for the tutorial.
You are hesitant to call this a tutorial, but it actually was perfect learning material, fun to watch and you are giving really useful tips. Congratulations man, thank you!
I notice you use a lot of bevel iterations when you set your edges. I have found a solution to sharp corners using the bevel modifier that generates much less geometry and arguably looks even better. When making the bevel modifier, you want to set your segments to 2, then go into the profile dropdown on the bevel modifier. The shape is automatically set to .5; Set it to 1 instead. This preserves the actual angle of the corner being beveled, but adds geometry to either side of that corner. This essentially 'tricks' the smooth shading and preserves flat surfaces while making the corners look rounded. Discovering this has been a godsend for me.
Fantastic!!! What a great idea and excellent explanation! I’ll try this! Cheers from Norway!!
@@Polyfjord Make sure you do not use any auto sharpening or edge splits when you do this, or it won't work. There are no sharp marked edges needed or edges split, the bevel modifier does all the work.
@@Polyfjord Use the bevel modifier with harden normals and auto smooth turned on. It looks super good, and renders quick.

I'm studying Animation at university. I'm so glad I finally found someone who can explain the logic of IK and FK. You're a great person because you tell it all, you're someone other channels have to emulate. Please keep explaining like this. I think it would be so much better if we could see which key you're pressing. We need teachers like you. Thank you so much.
I am not a total beginner, been using Blender as my retirement hobby and this will be my fourth project. There are a lot of things to learn (and review) in your tutorial, but it all makes perfect sense to me and I have not had much trouble following you. I do things over if they're not right and learn a little more. I don't really care if it takes me awhile. I enjoy the accomplishment of finishing a project but I enjoy the getting there the most. You are nice and chill and your instructions are nice and clear plus the written keystrokes help a lot. I don't think I've bitten off more than I can chew but we'll see. I'm learning new things and having fun. That's what counts. Yes?
Amazing tutorial - I really enjoyed watching this and see your process. Looking forward to more videos on your channel😎
Hey Jared, I love you videos! I've always wondered if you made them in blender have you ever thought about making tutorials of your own?
@@DallamDealer I think he does
33:05 hello, why can't I do it scale?
@@user-og6tb5jp4n sama here
The goPro-ish camera angle on the last robot (with the neon tubes or something) made it look extremely realistic. Just goes to show that camerawork is one of the key things when it comes to "selling" the render.
Really, your tutorials are among the best out there! Very original, interesting, quite advanced but you show 'shortest path' to achive the result while really teaching the nuts and bolts of the Blender. Very good pace, no bulls**t, and a lot of valuable content. And first of all - impressive skills and talent! Thank you for sharing with us!
This is absolutely a tutorial. Thanks to you, I learned how to quickly use keyboard shortcuts, apply complex materials, do lighting, rigging, animations, switch tabs, add more viewports, trust the process and so much more. I've decided to recreate each of your tutorials and take as much as I can out of them. You're truly amazing at what you do, keep this up man
I swear, you have the most inspiring and amazing tutorials. Thank you for uploading these - I get ideas and learn something new every time.
Omg, it's finally here!!, I really enjoyed your character creation under 15 minutes video, and I don't mind yet another even banger one with 54 minutes long! ♥
I love fast tutorials like this, often i watch them whole without blender and then start again in blender, makes me learn so much :)
34:59 for anyone who is having trouble animating the bone to follow path, you have to apply scale and transform to the circle path first or your bone will act weird when you add the bone constraint. Atleast for me, maybe i did something wrong (blender day 17 newbie here) but hope that helps
Oh my God, thank you so much, that did help a lot just now
Thanks so much. I was getting so frustrated that follow path wasn’t working for me. Applying transform solved the issue.
Thank you sooo much man ! I was stuck with no ideas how to unlock !😉
Thank you sooo much!
God bless you. And I realized my curve wen't along the X-axis but my 6 legged spider should walk in Y-direction
Once I get home from vacation I will for sure make my own version of this! Great job!
I'm new to blender (never finished the donut tutorial)... This tutorial was amazing and easy to follow even though it's fast-paced (the pause button helped quite a lot). I really love your work!
Can't express how happy I am with this tutorial and making this robotic inset come alive. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge. I'm learning blender and i'm fascinated with your channel.
This is so far the best, funniest tutorial I've seen about blender basic modeling. Thank you man, I love this, I've learned a lot and can't wait to see more from your channel.
I love all these robot modeling and rigging tutorials! Keep up the good work!
If Polyfjord and Ian Hubert joined forces they would rule the entertainment world. Another utterly dynamic and next level tutorial. Wow.
Thank you, I needed this video. I've been working on Blender for while and is in a slump. Seeing your enthusiasm and amazing idea gave me some much needed energy.
I've watched hours of rigging videos and you're the only dude I've found to talk about the locking rotation in the IK menu. Thank you.
been waiting so long for this, can't wait to learn! 👍
Still working on this as a first time user (after the donut tut) and it's really striking how powerful blender is. Thanks for the great tutorial, altho it would be nice if you kept the shortcuts on screen for the whole thing... Appreciate it man!
first time here.. Im more into low poly game ready objects.. but was super impressed by this dude... dude either sped up the vid (probably didnt) or he just has great skills when controlling that mouse.. So fast and precise.. thats amazing
This is SUCH a fun watch, and this goes separately from the fact that the insights are so mindblowing and your results ALWAYS strike me! Thanks for all the effort!!! 👏👏👏
Now I know CGI... :) For an engineer, it feels uncomfortable to watch not dimensioning things exactly, but, this approach is so cool to illustrate concepts, that I feel convinced to learn Blender for such needs. Thanks for all the keyboard shortcuts! Amazing!
Finally! Can't wait to watch this one!
This is half of a tutorial and half a commentated workflow, which I think is actually better than just a tutorial, know what tools to use is one thing, watching someone use them quickly and efficiently is another.
Wow, this is fantastic. I really learned a lot from your rigging technique... I think you managed to make me finally understand how the IK stuff works. Somehow it all clicked as you moved the bones and modified each one along the way. Brilliant way to demonstrate it. Thank you so much... this was seriously useful.
This tutorial is gold ! Thanks 😀 ( Would be nice to see the pressed keys as sometimes it's a bit hard for us noobies to figure out what's going on, but it's amazing )
poly, ever thought of using screencast keys for your tutorials? it makes making tutorials so much easier for beginners
THANK YOU Polyfjord!!! I finished my very first animation and render(s) with your help. Plus it was my first time doing anything with the armature. I got Blender because I needed something to make models with for my 3d printer. I chose it for multiple reasons, one of them being that I knew that it is capable of that, this, and so much more. I also knew that if I had it, I would almost have to learn. It's just so hard to find the time. Yeah, there was a LOT of valuable information given in a short period of time, but you can pause/rewind any time you want. That's just one of the benefits of learning from KZhead videos. Also you were there for me day and night at any moments notice. Thank you. I want to add that I started watching your "next" video. I think the first thing I noticed was that you moved your "chat" window so we can see the keystrokes displayed onscreen. It must have helped because I remember looking at it quite a few times. I see you have streamlined the whole process from presentation all the way down to more of the powerful mechanics built into Blender now. The timing feels perfect. I am glad I went through all of the steps to finish this. I feel like I understand more of the underlying fundamentals than if I went straight to the new quicker and much easier approach. I am confident that it will go quickly when I get back to it. I'm just thinking I need to add a little bummpety-bumpy audio to this one first. I am so excited and happy. I will create!!! I will create good things! (I hope) :)
I finally made this by following every step, i have never learnt so much under such a short time as I’m new to blender, but the detailed explanation helped a lot. all thanks to you polyford. Looking forward to more of your videos
for those who can't redo the rigging at 28:40, delete parenting in object properties (relations). In pose mode, subdivide the last bone, reparent the meshes and then (tricky part) you need to rename the bones so that they follow the right order. Blender uses their names for the hierachy of bones!
When I move my object or the empty in object mode my whole rig just moves with all the bones just gets misplaced. In the tutorial when he moves the empty his end part of the bone stays in the same place and only is empty is moving but that's not happening for me any solution for this ? Will be great full
im having the same issue did you ever find a solution for it?@@RohitKumar-yj1cn
I have been waiting for this from so many days .. Finally it's released Can't wait to watch this amazing tutorial and I'll start my own version of this 😀
bro you have helped me learn so much about blender since I just started a few days ago..the first day it took me hours just to make it 3:00 into this video and I struggled badddd man it was frustrating I had to take so many breaks to "re-collect" my thoughts lol.. now though I can do that part in seconds and even though I'm still only around 7:00 minutes into it now, things are getting so much easier and faster by lightyears. but lemme tell ya though it was just a really super funnnn time learning all the shortcut buttons and trying to navigate everything.. "pause" "rewind", "stop" "freeze frame" "play" "stop" "rewind" lol ur videos been on my screen for almost 2 days now pretty much.. anyways i got the hang of it now so I just wanted to say thankyou bro because this video could potentially change my life and I appreciate it , and you
The old expression "passion translates" is perhaps the most fitting definition of this channel. It's pure and beautiful. Great stuff :)
You never fail to impress, my man. Quality over quantity every time
"Yeah, so im not a modeling expert..." - polyfjord 2022 when literally just tapping buttons and making amazing shapes👍
Your work is incredible, you can see the love you put into each of your tutorials, they really are spectacular! I am very grateful for all the information you share!
Thank you so much for this tutorial, turned out to be one of the coolest things I ever made in blender. Also love the spider design and the aesthetics.
At the 35:00 mark, after you make your walk path, make sure to apply any rotation or scale, otherwise when you do the bone constraint, it does weird stuff.
maybe thats what i need to do. Been trying to get this thing to follow that path. Once I click the path my leg jumps pointing straight down.. and wont move
OH thank gawd. that was it! been trying ot figure that out all morning. Thank you
Excellent video! But I have one request for the future. I understand that you can't go into too much detail on modeling every time, but for beginners like me, it would be VERY useful if you just turned on the display of keystrokes. Some manipulations are not always possible to catch, even if in general you explain what you are doing)
The project was fantastic, and the little tips are definitely something I want to implement going forward. As a Beginblender, I appreciate you ♡
those finished mechs are very cool. the tracked glass creature with fluid is my favorite.
Fantastic tutorial, as always! 48:18 do you have Persistent Data enabled for renders? If you go to Render Properties -> Performance -> Final Render, there is a checkbox titled "Persistent Data" which sends the scene data to the GPU only on the first frame and keeps it in the GPU's memory for the next frames in the animation. Not sure if that would help your situation, but I figured it was worth mentioning.
Thank you, this will be needed
jeez watching you work in real-ish time is incredible. obviously there are probably a bunch of cuts for brevity’s sake but when you’re talking and casually flying through shortcuts it’s actually very inspiring. edit: aw man, idk what happened to my armature. the movement starts at the second joint, not at the first z-axis one. edit 2: LOL nvm I figured it out. the chain length was the same as yours but you forgot to add the last bone. got iiiit.
I dare to say that I learned more in one of your videos than in all the other videos combined that I've seen about blender. simply the greatest
Even if it doesn't feel like a tutorial, it's great to see how real process of making something cool in blender looks like :)
Hello, TIP FOR BEGINNERS at 36:13 when it says "be sure that everything is selected" before to apply the linear extrapolation, it means that all the channels of the Dope sheet must be open, all the Offsets selected by clicking on the line (appears in green), all the dots selected (appears in yellow) 🤘😁🤘
I love these insect robot tutorials 😊 Just a quick idea for the floor: when you increase the array count to not run out of floor, you don't need a long floor actually. Instead you can animate the texture mapping. Let's say you move the floor 5 m in X direction between two keyframes. When using the "Object" texture coordinate, you can move the texture with the Mapping node 5 m on X (or -5) and the floor can stay in place. As long as the texture is set to repeat, the creature can run forever 😁
Thanks for watching!! Hmm in my experience animated texture mapping doesn’t support motion blur! I have previously solved this problem by making a conveyor belt, which is especially useful when working with a lot of particles that would otherwise slow down the render: kzhead.info/sun/dr2in899ZGaloY0/bejne.html
@@Polyfjord Yeah, I thought of a conveyor belt before, too - but then I deemed the texture solution to be easier. But damn, I guess you're right, the motion blur could be a problem.
Where have you been all this time? Your work and ideas are such refreshment and are trully invigorating. Supreme creativity.
Brilliant, amazing, mind-blowing. I have to watch your videos at half speed to keep up, but they're always amazing. Had so much fun with this one! Thank You!

Best blender video I've ever seen. Love your pace and the way you are thinking. Perfect. I will try this and I learned so much new stuff
With the mistakes and all in the video has actually made me learn more about how to do something like this in the future. Saved this video to come back to whenever I get onto Blender. Which is very often. I definitely am happy to have come across this video which I find very helpful.
is it possible to have the legs automatically step toward the body when the body is the only thing that has keyframes for movement are rotation? Without having to animate the legs manually
Like this: kzhead.info/sun/nNGbedeGeKiLo4U/bejne.html ?
9:25 how do you do that
Man, thanks so much for the tutorial! I've been looking for a tutorial like this and everybody animates organic characters, I only found one for robots but very basic. I started a project one year ago and had to learn rigging and animating by the hard way, I'm glad I did some things the same as you. Anyway, I'm learning good stuff, please keep the good work!
Hey this was amazing, I think that I am going to be coming back to this video a lot! I really liked the part where you showed how to "attach" the curve because I have been interested in animating cables for a long long time. Thank you very much for the high quality content.👍
Is there a reason why you use shift + d to duplicate the actual geometry instead of alt + d which duplicates the object and uses the same geometry? With alt +d you would just have edit the original not every duplicate and it should perform better overall as well.
came here looking for this!
Having trouble at about 32 minutes in. I have all 6 legs, the IK seems to work fine, but when I use the child of constraint to attach a leg to the body controller it just moves the leg around instead of using the IK and bending it. It seems like the small controller bone at the end of the leg stays in place when you move the body controller, but mine just floats around. Any idea where I went wrong?
Have the same problem. i will tell you when i found out how to solve it.
Found the problem. There are Bone Constraints and Object Constraints. the Bone Constraints tag you can only see while being in Pose Mode, so go into Pose Mode and add Bone Constraints instead of Object Constraints, even tho if they looks the same, so thats a little bit confusing. But i hope i could help you.

I love that Blender has someone like Blender guru and his donut. to get new people into the program showing off how to use the program then releases them into doing their own projects. once you feel you can't break the ceiling on your own anymore you can find this kind of tutorial that assumes you know what you are doing and just explains how to master it. it is amazing! most of the tricks go way over my head at the moment but I will come back and i will become better!
Your tutorials are just amazing. Really makes me want to learn everything about blender. Thanks so much! I literally just watch this over and over taking notes as to key presses lol

Bro, you just got a new sub. You have just taught me new things about blender, and you have also gotten me into a new type of creature. This video helped me make my own type of mechanical spider of my own. Without your help, I would have never learned how to rig things in like, 5 or so minutes. This video was just great all together, I love your interpretations of mechanical creatures like that!
Probably one of the most understandable tutorial on the subject of rigging. Thank you very much!
How did you connect the curves on 12:24?
Just Press "F" for fill
12:23 please does anyone know what hotkey he uses here?
Press F
First u should join both bezier curves if you duplicated them in object mode (select both of them then press Ctrl + J) then select both of the top vertices and press F to fill between. Then you'll have a weird thingy u'll know when you see it. Select one of the two vertices and delete it by pressing X -> Vertices. Hope it helps :)
what a great tutorial! so many awesome hints and tricks and techniques all in one video. your workflow is pleasure to watch. one of the best educational things i've ever seen. thank you!
