The aim of this channel is to share the knowledge that I've acquired throughout my career with you, and to pass on tips and tricks which I commonly use in my work. Besides passing technical information, I also wish to share my thoughts on how you can be a better artist in terms of creative execution and artistic sense.
Hi, my name is Ken Liang.
I'm a 3D CG artist residing in Malaysia with more than 15 years of experience in the advertising industry. This means that I've had plenty of opportunities to work on VFX, animations, product demos, and pretty much a bit of everything from ultra realistic renders, to stylized character animations. I use Blender for my 3D work and I also do a lot of compositing in Fusion Studio.

THAT IS SO CLEVER!
The dynamic paint is very clever.
Cool but looks nothing like an dark soul boss room
My cloth tears before the weld holds it together
really helpful. Can you please let me know how to make the peeled lid?
Still waiting for the next part.
tysm <3
Thank you so mcuh! Had a play and changed the second displacement to 'Marble' looks disgustingly wonderful!! :D
pretty cool techniques! well done!
fucking thanks alot dude i got it resolved thank you
thank u so much
its been 3 years, you're a godsend
Can I ask if your interested in collaboration?
im still waiting for the next video XD
Cuuute and amazing!
Hi. The Michael Greenwood example you mentioned in your video, does he use the Bevel node exactly this way? Just plug it in & it starts working? Because it did not for me (cycles mode)... What else can be done to achieve such great levels of bevel in 2 joined objects??
This work still impressed me much after 2 years. Miss you man.
WOW! Brilliant work around.
Why is the intro so cute tho!!!!
Thats awesome but how do you see blender Vs Houdini
Oh my god. I am a 3d artist myself and i always wanted to make a 3d version of the 2d scene for this song. and you did it. amazingly . perfect
please do more videos like that
1:41 I did anything the weld just doesn't work, It's like nothing applied.
I just keyframed the on/off of the weld modifier, but it's still not perfect
You cannot imagine how happy I am finding your great beautiful motivtional and inspirational channel! ♥
Is it okay if I learn from this, and make a course on how to make a noodle cup?
I've been trying to fins this post in the Blender community discord but I couldn't find it. Till UA-cam reccomended it to me 3 years later
that is sooooo smart, never thaught about that, u can do stuff without bones wow
What did the cycles renders look like?
Is there no part 10?
This is crazy
how to add the imagin in bruh?
veeery cool!
Incredible work. Thank you for showing the process. Though I would love a more detailed tut since I can't even achieve the simulation
The attraction of the objects to each other creates a concave curve between the noodles and the broth. The curvature is concave, allowing more light to be reflected and making it easier for highlights to appear. It is important not to overlook these details.
Hey! Great video, loved your approach on splitting the cells. I've tried to recreate the effect, but I'm stuck on dynamic paint part with canvas and brush. When the cells pull apart and the UV Sphere decreases its scale, I get a weird glitch in between the cells for like a frame and also the cells are pulled inwards not outwards like in your example. Any thoughts on how to fix this or what might be the problem? Would appreciate the help! (I can also send the .blend file) Thanks! :)
Amazing video, you’re so talented! My only question is how do you get this to split into more than 2? Can’t seem to figure it out
Incredible! The song is a classic but your animation is next level!!
thank you very much!
haha save your file.
2:00 THANK YOU
BRO HOW CAN I APPLY CLOTH SIMULATION IN ANY DIFFERENT FRAME NOT IN 1ST FRAME PLEASE SAY.
I don't see the options, you have a Giant screen
beautiful
日本語の字幕を付けてこのCGの作り方を教えてほしい
aaaaawesome
There's a couple animations of this song going around I'm kinda surprised this one isn't getting more attention it's beautiful
the most beautiful thing ive ever seen
I'm trying this, and I can't get it to work. I define the tears, assign them to the weld modifier, and the distance, but the tear never happens.
Would love to know how you time so that the rigged animation stops and the cloth sim starts at a specific frame. Excellent work!
Amazing!
