  • 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!

    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?
  • @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

    The way you rig and animate is soo god teir. I feel like somthing like this wouldve taken me atleast a week to finish. it moves so smooth
  • @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!)
  • @7melvil584
    Love it! So nice to make use of those awesome apple designs!
  • 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!
