  • 17:14 That glaring beam of sunlight on the upper edge of the screen, chef's kiss 🫶 Also really nice technique with the tree video
  • Ah yes, the Apple Watch Pro Max Plus X SE Ultra Pro Air +++ XL Premium Pro. Another groundbreaking innovation from Apple!
  • @Cleb_3D
    The part where you animated the walk cycle went by so quickly though, you should tell us more about the walk cycle next walk cycle wednesday
  • @nozsavsev2442
    Have you ever thought of combining all your cursed creatures and making a cg movie of them assaulting you as their creator for hard life?
  • @RHOCHR
    Cool, I haven't watched it yet but I know it will be cool. Edit: I watched it now it was amazing, like always.
  • more of this please. just a random project like this is great to watch you just be creative.
  • When I see a new video it's like taking a deep breath of fresh air . Thank you for giving me the time to relax and unwind after a long days work. Love you brotha❤
  • @K2Industries
    I speak on behalf of a lot of us when u we need more content like this..... just u messing around and making cool renders just chill relaxing and fun to watch Love your work💯
  • @keshar-w
    just watched it completely, loved the journey, awesome results.
  • @Chemest_a
    Watching your videos is always fun! It’s great to see & hear your creative process. (I also love learning new keybinds like ctrl+m for mirroring!)
  • @A_Strider
    thank you for the amazing video i love watching as an idea gets fleshed out while its being made i also love how this video captures the joy of just creating anything that comes to mind no matter how odd or simple it may seem keep up the great videos and i definitely see why you would love to make a short film about these little robots
  • @JaredOwen
    I enjoy these videos! Thank you for sharing
  • I really would love to see "walk-cycle Wednesdays," I learn so much from your videos and would really like to see that. I also noticed a few things in the video, such as using the edge-split modifier, and how you hid two of the legs while animating the other two. If its possible, I would love to get some more info on how you do those kinds of things, as I can't find much info on them online so would love little few sentence explanations for some of those little things in the videos. Thanks! Love your videos!
  • @tyomakes
    2 hours for executing an idea from scratch to full render of this quality is insane, always love what you make, Asbjørn! Super inspiring 🔥
  • @kekeklol3705
    It’s crazy to me how incredibly well you have replicated this apple aesthetic Love your work btw
  • Maybe you can add cool transition for legs coming from somewhere like it is a small transformer. Maybe from inside the apple watch? It then transforms into airpods like structure.
  • I'm glad you're doing more creative projects like this one! Can't wait to see what you make next!
  • @cleverpoly
    Aha, Love The final results, looks so realistic

    I always watched your videos and now after quite a while I myself tried to get better in Blender and for fun I animated our business logo and my boss actually told me after I showed it to him to make a really good animation so that it can be displayed on our Hardware in our branches around Europe. It is still a long way but watching your videos really helped me getting better with Blender so thanks a lot. :face-blue-smiling:
