I Animated More of My Desktop Icons in Blender 3D
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- What’s the point in being a 3d artist unless you use your skills to try customizing everything! I wanted to step out of my normal comfort zone and challenge model to reimagine and a animate my desktop icons. Here are the icons I picked:
TF2: This was a great suggestion from one of my commenters, its a great game and it presented a really fun variety of possible animations.
System Settings: I picked this one because in the last video I kept eying it and it just seemed too fun to pass up. I love mechanical rigging and animation and couldn't help myself.
ByteDozer logo: well, its my logo so obviously!
Blender Addons I use frequently (these are affiliate links, however I don't agree to be an affiliate for any addon I don't use in my workflow regularly or think would be generally useful):
bone dynamics pro: blendermarket....
omnistep: blendermarket....
geo-scatter: blendermarket....
a bunch of the tinker boi addons: blendermarket....

From modeling to animation and rigging and texturing and everything, how informative a 20mins video can be?! THANK YOU SIR!
You should make a animated portal 2 desktop icon
That's what I was gonna say
Imma comment it too to make sure he sees it
ong
I might visualize Bytedozer developing a C.G.I. Astroneer P.C. icon :)
그가 C.G.I. 아스트로니어 P.C. 아이콘을 개발하는 모습을 상상해 볼 수도 있습니다 :)
THAT'S ME DUDE 0:21
Him: Nothings perfectly sharp!
The Needle thats Sharp on an Anatomic Level: Umm, actually...
All seriousness though, love the vids!
Oh my gosh, these are so good!
Nice video, mate! Thanks.
My OCD kicked in when you just rotated your grid filled circle. You can use the offset option in the lower left corner, to make the fill perfectly straight.💜
i love these videos so much never stop posting🙏
tip for putting nodes in the final slot for checking them, use the short cut ctrl + shit + T. It will automatically put the node in the final slot, saves you a bit of time, but node wrangler needs to be on in the add-ons
you should make the mail or phone app, where the letter opens, or the phone rings and answers.
"nightmare-ish polygons" the struggle is real
You know, you should have more subscribers. I am glad I found your channel.
Thank you! Hopefully I will get there eventually if I keep it up :)
It is due to the pedant in me that I must say the tf2 logo is a crosshair. Also, wonderful job! I really love the way the broken part of the logo fans out around the bullet hole, it's a very nice touch.
I'd love to know if you're actually implementing the end render as a new icon on the Desktop, or just editing it over the original icon to show how it might look? If it's the former and you can actually set gifs/videos as an icon then I'd personally buy/make my own 3D icons to use on my laptop. It's such a cool process, and I'm learning so many little tricks about Blender I didn't learn on my own.
at the moment its just a mockup of my dock done in blender, but I'm looking into if its possible to actually set up the animations to replace the real icons
i feel like someone on linux would actually get these working, i know svg's and stuff can be used in KDE plasma!
@@bytedozer Im pretty sure you can make the animations gifs and replace the desktop icon to it, altho im not 100% sure it works
Another great set of animated icons, I love this little series your making.
Missed opportunity making the tf2 logo a valve (the tf2 logo is an abstract valve wheel)
It's the negative space of the Valve wheel
The desktop icons are very serene and exploring :)
데스크톱 아이콘은 매우 고요하고 탐험적입니다 :)
Very nice results!
9:15 Now THAT is what I call a classical animation. 😎
Very cool stuff! Definitely worth a sub.
One side note tho, you can select all sharp edges of a mesh by going to the select menu and then hitting "select sharp edges". Saves some time. If you already knew this, my apologies. Just wanted to point it out.
Cheers
this reminds me of an idea i had a long while ago, about a fully 3D OS/desktop environment, this could be a step to that!
make ur version of need for speed underground2 game icon and ofc animated :)
then farming simulator 25
and factorio game icon.
Can you also animate safari to be a compass
I knew that the CTRL + Number keybind added added the subsurf, but I did not know that the number was the subdivision value. I guess I just never tried anything apart from CTRL + 2 so I just assumed that CTRL + 3 and onward would put on a different modifier.
your rant reminds me of the rare tines i find something in a game completely out of place texture wise ...ether spending way to much time on a random thing it a game of low texture or vice versa
You should make the last one so that the train lights up randomly but also like from the top left. Maybe square root the random or write percentage though
I'd love the portal 2 one with the person coming out of the portal
THIS IS SO AMAZING TF2 YAAAY
Heres a small challenge. Audacitys desktop icon. Maybe a bit of a audio visualizer?
This is fun to watch so far 😁
I was wondering what would you make of Aseprite since it’s a pixelart animation/editing program?
I‘d love to see what you would do with the Bambu Lab Icon.
aay, gret vids, gave me a lot to learn from. tysm
7:32 you can keyframe the visibility?? Wtf
12:36 ONE PIECE
damn, that tf2 animation is incredible
team fortress in thumbnail
immediately clicks
same
you should recreate/animate Microsoft Flight Sim 2020/24. a literal plane flying out of the logo would be SO COOL!!🔥🔥
i hope someday you could animate some filmmaking studio logos in your channel.
could you make colobot logo anim
As a recommendation for the next app icons to be designed in blender 3d, I recommend UA-cam. It is the app we are watching your video from you know?
Could you maybe try doing the finder? Maybe it could wink or something.
Do you think you could do a animated Tabletop Simulator icon?
i noticed your selecting a ton of edges using just shift selecting. may i suggest holding down alt to do a loop select? it should save you some decent amount of time!
and ctrl for ones that loop select doesn’t work for
You should use your logo animation as intro. (Maybe just slowed down a bit)
btw thats not how bullet holes work thats how the exit hole works but not the first place the bullet hits 2:00
your logo reminds me of little big planet
I expected the tf2 one to spin, not flip
Cool
The thumbnail censors everything but the hole ... Curious
make the folder desktop icon
im i the only one who noticed that the tf2 logo is just the negative space of a valve?
🤯
Change the thumbnail. It looks werid compared to other titles next to it, just feedback thats all! Love this shit btw!
looking at different options for the thumbnails, wym compared to the other titles its shown with? like the other content recommended alongside my video? Still working on my thumbnail game so any feedback is super helpful :)
@@bytedozer I'm no expert but maybe have a more interesting background of the thumbnail might be good, like a brighter color or something so it grabs your eye more.
Just a thought.
@@Tiegenhoff will give a few like that a try!
lmao 9:08 not the kitchen the animation I still wna know what the kitchen looks like xd
A pile of rubble currently lol, might make a second channel to document renovating the house
You cooked
Thank you!
save early save often
Fish
