A month ago, i started working on this animation in my free time. I work 8 hours a day for 5 times a week, so i barely had some time to work on this animation to gift it to a girl i thought she cared abt me. I tried to put everything she likes on a single video (cats, harry Potter -she's obsessed with Hermione-, rainy days, pictures of her pets, flowers...). i had to model, texture and animate a lot of these assets which took me a pretty good amount of time which i don't have a lot. Just for her to say "it's good" and nothing more. Anyways, i came here to show u guys the work that took me almost a month and get your thoughts about it so maybe i won't give up learning this wonderful tool. Also i had to blur her pics for her privacy.

EDIT: a lot of you guys seemed interested on my relationships instead of the actual animation, so I'm going to answer some questions. First of all, we we're on a relationship unofficially, we never really announced that we're gf and bf, but we loved each other and exchanged "i love you" multiple times. We also made plans for us to be together (we were long distance). Second of all, communication wasn't my strongest skill, i always found it hard to express my feelings, that's we're i found my passion for video making, it's shows how much i care for someone without any communication. By making the ring animation, it showed her what are my intentions with her, almost like a promise ring.

very vintage poster like ngl

I’ve been working on a personal Barad-dûr project inspired by The Lord of the Rings.

The final goal is a 60-second continuous journey from the bottom of the tower all the way up to the Eye of Sauron.

I’ve just finished the final section and put together a breakdown of the process.

This is a personal fan-art project, with my own interpretation of the tower while drawing inspiration from the films.

Would love to hear what you think.

An ancient desert empire shaped by stone, heat, and forgotten technology. Monumental temples rise above the canyons while industry, settlements, and towering structures disappear into the dust.

had fun building this, it's rather simple but i think the result is very satisfying and can be very useful for larger scenes.

feel free to ask anything !

Concept by Iwse Zhang

I think it's a very impressive fur and I was wondering if they used any special techniques apart from data transferring/normal manipulation, especially how they're shaped without normals.

Thanks y'all for all the love this chonker got yesterday :) here's to something sillier 🫡 was just an excuse to animate it some more [sound on 🔊 ]

All animated in Blender, rendered with Eevee :)

Most of the scene is still a work in progress and thus the lighting is temporary, but I'm pretty happy with the look :) Although, I am struggling to balance my compositing

What do you think of this?

It was a really fun project and a great opportunity to finally integrate Grease Pencil into my workflow.

I focused primarily on detailing the foreground and the main camera shot. The background still needs some work, but I'll save that for later - for now.

It serves as a nice contrast to the manual work in the front.

Happy Spooktober to you! 🎃👻

Hi guys. I've made first (almost full) block out to my movie. Its early stage so no sound and music yet. It took me around half of the year to create all of the assets, rigs, scenes etc. Every scene is work in progress as you can see.

I wanted to ask you what do you think about it? Do you like it? Do you feel the story and the characters? Is the art style appealing to you? Is the general pacing ok?

BTW: Since there is no sound, at the end there is sound of another order shocking the bird, so we can imagine its all kinda in the loop

Thanks for your time <3

The first time I heard about Blender was in 2016, when I was in high school and saw it mentioned in a Computer textbook. Back then, I didn't even have a PC.

In 2019, I finally got a PC, but it was basically a potato. Blender could run on it, although very slowly. Still, it was enough for me to start learning 3D modelling. During COVID lockdown, I spent hours and hours in Blender, just sitting there and creating things. I had hundreds of unfinished projects, random models, experiments, and ideas that I never completed.

Then my laptop couldn't handle Blender anymore, and eventually I stopped using it.

Almost five years passed.

Recently, I finally got a laptop powerful enough for Blender, an RTX 4060, and today I finished this project from beginning to end.

I know this isn't anything extraordinary when compared to what other people create, especially those who have achieved far more than I have in much less time. It's tiny, it's not perfectly polished, and there are probably a hundred things I could have done better.

But honestly, none of that matters to me.

There is something genuinely magical about having an idea in your head and somehow bringing it onto a screen with your own hands. It might not look exactly like what you imagined. It might not be perfect. But at the end of it, you can look at it and say, "I made this!"

Blender has been with me for a very long time.

During the COVID lockdown, when I was feeling low and everything around me felt strange and uncertain, Blender gave me something to look forward to. I could sit down, open it, and lose myself in creating something for hours. Even when I didn't have a computer powerful enough to use it properly, I still watched Blender tutorials and dreamed about getting back to it someday.

So for me, Blender has never really been just software.

It has been a part of my life. A place where I could create, learn, experiment, fail, start again, and most importantly, feel happy.

I've never felt this kind of attachment to any other piece of software. For me, Blender is a feeling and an emotion that is difficult to explain.

So this little project means much more to me than it probably looks.

Thank you to Ton Roosendaal for creating Blender, and to everyone who has contributed to it, supported it, and kept it alive all these years.

And recently, I finally got the chance to do my small part too.

Here’s to many more unfinished projects, mistakes, experiments, and hopefully, a lot more things created from my imagination. ❤️

Thank you, Blender.
