Tutorial: intro to Shapekeys (pigeons/jet nozzles)
🕑 Added 2020-11-21 22:53:29 +0000 UTCOKAY SO YES- most of you probably already know all about shapekeys. But they are so fun and powerful that I wanted to make totally sure! Imagine your childlike joy upon learning of shapekeys for the first time! And O'! I am filled with envy.

I'm sure you've seen the cut out add-on. pretty much what you do with knife tool, but faster. Have you considered using that in your workflow?

Where can we snag these pigeons?

My first experience with shape keys was your moths lazy tutorial. The fact they can be translated as morph targets in Unreal has changed my life (for the better, of course) :D
Ian Hubert
I have only regrets!
Ross Edwards
Great video, really thought it was going to end in jet powered pigeons

Shape keys are all cool and whatnot, but cutting out the nozzle flap part from the plane with the knife tool was totally preposterous! I would've spent a good chunk of time modelling that thing.
Really awesome ! Thank you very much , please keep doing some "beginners" tutorials like that ^^ I am completely beginner in Blender and you are my Blender High school basically. You rocks! I love that you explains everything you do, even the basics things. Your tutorials are the bests!
Mario Taylor
Awesome!! Thank you for a thorough explanation of shape keys!
Amazing!! You always make my mind boiling with a lot of possibilities!!
Great vΓdeo!! Shape keys are so powerful.
German Bauer
You did good Ian! Actually only used shape keys for capturing states but these blends look delicious.When I first saw the title of pigeons and jet engines I thought the former shape shifts as it gets sucked into the latter

Thanks for re-instilling my childlike wonder at the power of shape keys--and instances!

vector engines allow you to commit acceleration with both DIRECTION aaand MAGNITUDE! BOOYAH!

Oh wowie you did! It's so useful I can't believe I waited so long to learn this, that jet engine bits a goooooood ideaaaaaa π π π
moths!

Made my weekend... with 11 minutes of tomfoolery. Love it ! :)
Vectoring or vectored thrust is the name for when the jet points in directions

Awesome! Shape keys are great for a lot of things and I've used them quite often. However I've never thought about that min/max thing before. Thank you for the inspiration! :)
Yea sometimes when a video is like 2 seconds new it takes a little longer till Iβm able to view it.
Ian Hubert
Dang yeah, it's working on my end. Maybe try reloading in 10 minutes?? I figured as soon as it was done processing it was good to go, but maybe it takes a while to propagate to international servers or something?? Sorry about that.
Ian Hubert
Wait really?? I can see it- although I JUST uploaded it.. maybe it's still... huh. Let me look.
Ian Hubert
WOoooo!!!! Hopefully I did a good enough job explaining them!
Video is black!?

Literally the first time i saw shape keys was during your Lazy Moths video :D
Ben "Sonjira" Young
I've always meant to learn about shape keys but never did so this is GREAT FOR MEEEEEEEEEE
