Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you enjoy this fun little animation tutorial, all in the Christmas spirit. How are you going to spend your Christmas this year? Just like last year things are quite different in the world due to Covid. I hope you and all your loved ones are healthy and happy. Enjoy the holidays!

I love how you have the Christmas music in the background I'm going to do that on all my tutorials if I ever make one... And that cutscene after you make say a word from our sponsor just goes with the Christmas music so perfect I'm a subscriber as a result

I am glad I found your channel! New concepts that I haven't seen, explained in an easy to understand sequence. Building on those concepts to make a simple and easy to understand animation. Very well done. Time for me to watch more of your videos.

@@KaizenTutorials Ok. ;) I did it. Unfortunatley I can't use the Subdivision Modifier on my system, because it's to weak. When I do that, I can't preview anything, but with a framerate of 1 or so. Even had to switch to Eevee to get something usable. So I left thet part out. Looks nice anyway. Added a text "Frohe Weihnachten" at the end and a nice short xmas background tune. Thanks for the tutorial! Maybe I try some short clips more with morphing to have something for the whole family and everyone gets his/her own animation. Will have to repeat your stuff many many times, until I can rember the steps and understand completely, what they are doing. ;)

Great! Yeah some scenes can become pretty heavy, quite fast. But glad you got it to work this way. EEVEE should work just fine! But very fun idea to make unique ones for everyone and adding text and other elements. Cool christmas card haha! And yeah definitely keep practicing, or even better do different tutorials. The broader your knowledge of Blender will become the easier it will be to do these things from memory :-) good luck and happy blending!

@@KaizenTutorials May I ask you, if you please can mention to reset scale, rotation and location with ctrl-a if needed!? Stumbled across some diffculties, because I didn't reset, but would have needed to :( Checking back in your video, the values had been reset. And one more question: Those rotation values don't work for me. I can't get Blender to rotate e.g. those 1080° it always takes the shorter value to complete the turn and then stops. Not sure, if I could make my question clear. Maybe it's some setting I have to enable/disable? Thanks in advance for "enlightening" me ;)

I didn’t mention it?! Sorry, I usually do mention applying stuff. But uhm, I’m not sure about your question. But I am sure that whatever it is it’s not do with a setting. The things I used in this video were not setting dependent (besides maybe node wrangler for the shading). Feel free to send me an email at business@kaizen3d.com with the issue and blend file and I can have a look for you.

Can you make an updated tutorial the teachers how right when the tree is fully realized in the animation that maybe ornaments and presents get applied somehow...like animated in... It's so awesome I learned so much but I don't know how to do that part yet

Yo, great tutorial! - is it possible for the wood chips to stay above the ground plane instead of clipping through?

@KaizenTutorials

2 жыл бұрын

Thank you! Well it’s sadly not an easy fix since particles don’t respect added modifiers such as a rigid body or something. You can’t set the particle collission shape either… so the only fix I can think of is adding another groundplane which is ‘invisble’ and slightly above the visible one. Then use this higher plane as the collision object so the particles appear to be above ground.

how to bake the shape keys I want to export a paper roll animation to unity?

@KaizenTutorials

I'm not 100% sure, as I haven't tested this, but I believe you can just export it as an FBX and make sure you export with all options enabled and then just import the FBX in Unity! Hope this helps, good luck!

Hello) thanks for the cool video) I'm new to blender, so I'm constantly facing various problems) Tell me: why after editing the star in compositing, when I switch to another tab (shading, for example), the changes that were made in compositing are not displayed. What am I doing wrong?)

@KaizenTutorials

Жыл бұрын

Hey, thanks! Blender can be difficult when starting out. To answer your question; compositing is done AFTER rendering. So what you're seeing there is your render, with compositing added. So when you switch back to e.g. rendered view the compositing is no longer there. Basically shading gives you an overview of your materials (the result here is also how materials look in eevee), rendered view gives you the raw output blender will render out (be it eevee or cycles) and then after rendering a frame you'll see all your compositing being applied! They are working on realtime compositing though, I believe. So in the future you can just see it as you are expecting it to be now! :-) Happy blending!

Hey Kaizen, I got through the tutorial but I am getting a small problem. When I try to render the file, Blender doesn't render past frame 29 and seems to crash. I've tried different versions of Blender and messing with the render settings but nothing works. Do you have any type of other troubleshoot or solution to fix this? Thanks, and Happy Holidays!

This is amazing! Thanks for sharing! When I put the subdivision modifier at the bottom of the stack (under the particle system), the particle system doesn't work correctly. The shavings seem to shrink, and they just apear at the bottom of the tree . What am I doing wrong? Thanks again for your time, I've learned a lot!

I’m not sure that’s possible. You might be able to append it, but I think you would need to bake the animation to be able to import it. So you would be best of by recreating the shape key animation after importing the model!
