This is the type of content what blender tutorials need to have. The nitty gritty stuff that matters and the hustle that goes into all the little things that just get overlooked.
Thank you so much! Glad you like it :)
I'm not gonna lie. This is exactly what I need. But I think my brain blew up at the 5 minute mark.
This is gonna take a lot of rewatching and five rainforests worth of notes.
I thought my Playback Speed was still at 1.5x ...
agree,but why rainforest.
Man said 5 rainforests worth of notes 😂😂
he is hurry up or maybe he is the flash
@@jojo-zv2ls background 'music' 🤣
That track to constraint trick for the pendant piece is genius
Glad you like it! :)
So precise, to the point, no dragging around unnecessary info and sharing some specific golden bits..I wish people would start following your standard. Thank you for this one!
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed :)
This may be one of the best tutorials I’ve seen in a long time. It’s snappy, informative, covers a wide range of scenarios, provides visual examples of concepts, and much more.
Seriously, great job. :D
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, glad it was helpful :)
NAH this is INSANE omg.
Great tut dude, ty
That's an absolutely brilliant workflow, thank you for sharing this! 🤟
Seems like the soft body sims just keep on giving. Will definitely go back to this and reference in the future.
I'm really glad you like it! Thank you so much :)
in your back settings you can set simulation start to -20 and in a lot of cases it will get your simulation settled to a natural position by time it gets to frame 1 and its being captured in render
Hands down the best tutorial for this stuff!
Though one thing to note at 8:06 :
To make baking time less of a problem, you can use a highly decimated lowpoly duplicate of your collider. Soft Body unfortunately is extremely unforgiving when it comes to sim and collision polycount. You can create a collection dedicated to those colliders and set it to be used as a collision collection in the softbody properties.
For me, this sped up baking times immensely, as i'm working with quite dense character models which made the baking take several minutes for a few frames
Thank you so much for this! This is a really great suggestion and I'll definitely start using this for high poly models :)
really well presented and explained!! been looking for the magic of soft body dynamics.
Lord have mercy. This was the exact video I needed; I didn't realise it was going be such a complex process but I'm so unbelievably grateful for this video, as there is absolutely no chance I would have figured this out on my own. Videos like this make me realise how far I still have to go in my Blender journey. Thank you so much!
Amazing! Really glad the video provided what you were looking for :)
I love how thorough this is but there's no nonsense. You keep up a really good pace.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
I've been learning blender for 2 years now and I like making assets that can be used in different projects. This tutorial is very useful for me and easy to follow. Liked and subscribed. Good content.
Thank you so much, welcome to the channel! Really glad it helps :)
my brain is not braining anymore xD ..... however u answered to all my questions and wonders that I have been searching for the past few days. Thank you a lot for all the useful information.
Amazing! Really glad the video helps :)
hands down you have the best 3D tutorials, your voice, cadence, pace is on point. not too fast and not too slow. You have careful consideration of a new leaner. 10/10 mate
Thank you so much it really means a lot! I'm really glad you like them :)
best blender tutorial i have watched. i have played around with the settings, and made multiple chains similar to this to get used to the mechanics and settings. the key is to expect blender to not work the first or second time, but to keep trying out new settings and process to solve the problem.
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful, and I completely agree it just takes some time to find what settings work :)
Great way to get around animating a chain, doing it the rigid body way is far harder as the links often break. Excellent tutorial!
Thank you so much! Yes I did a lot of testing for this with rigid body sims and couldn't get any consistent results, which then led to finding this method!
You were born to make tutorials. Excellent stuff.
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed :)
Possibly the best tutorial I've watched
Thank you! Happy to help :)
You're literally the biggest life saver man thank you so much, and the quality of this video is amazing
No problem! Glad I could help :)
Very Cool and make it really realistic !
So freaking helpful my bro! Will have a very basic version of this in my next upload! But THANKYOU!
This channel is fantastic - such quality! Keep up the great work.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it :)
Incredible :) Thank-you and thank-you BLENDER :)
This is freaking amazing! Thank you for sharing this knowledge 🙏
Thank you very much! I really appreciate the comment :)
Amazing work, thank you for your tutorials!!!
Thank you so much! :)
This is a very nice tutorial. It covers everything this technique can do. Nice editing as well.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate the comment :)
This is by far the best tutorial out there for softbody sims
Thank you so much! :)
WOooow. This is exactly what i needed but very very condensed. Now I need to unpack it. Big big thank you.
I actually had to slow down the speed to 0.5 so it was easier for me to follow step by step!
Glad it has helped! :)
Excellent tutorial! Thanks a lot and keep them coming!!!
Thank you!
I'm having some trouble. When I try to bind the chain and the soft body mesh it says "Target has edges more than two polygons"
Make sure that you get rid of the faces inside the mesh. When you merge the edges, it means you also are merging two faces together inside of the mesh. Make sure you delete that face!
Finally I know how to make something I’ve been thinking about for weeks: the Flying Spaghetti Monster’s Noodley Appendages! Thanks!
Really good tutorial. soft body simulation isn't for too complex objects themselves
You are AMAZING! thank you for this tutorial, helped me a lot!
No problem! Really glad it helps :)
Mahn this is undoubtedly one of the best explained tutorials I've ever seen that too with a very interesting presentation. Great Work bro 🍻
Thank you so much! Really glad you liked it :)
Awesome! I managed to save my time with this. 🙏🙏
Amazing! Really glad it helped :)

This was incredibly useful! Thanks for another great resource : )
Thank you! Really glad it helps :)
Excellent tutorial. Such a clever technique.
Thank you! Really glad you think so :)
as a blender noob this tutorial was incredibly helpful!! I'm so excited that I got my simulation to work and it's all thanks to you. you've earned a sub from me, cheers!
Thats amazing! Really glad the video helped :) Welcome to the channel!
Really great! Thanks for this fantastic video.
Thank you! Glad it helps :)
wow, just wow. Thanks for taking the time teaching us how to do this :)
No problem! Glad it helps :)
Mindblowing!!! Till the last second the structure and the pace of this tutorial were right to the point. Hope to see more topics covered in the future..
After watching this the first thing i did was to smash the subscribe button. 😉
Thank you so much welcome to the channel! Really glad you enjoyed, I've got a new tutorial coming out next week :)
Amazing tutorial! Saves my day
Glad it helped!
Awesome tutorial. Nice editing as well
Thank you I really appreciate it! :)
Wow. Awesome! The soft body extension is clutch
Glad you like it! :)
Seriously! Lol. I tried and bought gravity rope to try to do the same thing but it’s glitchy. This is the only video out there that explains this which I’m sure is what drove you to make this. Thank you so much. I’d love to share my animation with once it’s done. 🫵👍
@@aaronjohnson4604 I think it's great it can be used for so many different purposes! I'm really glad it helped and if you upload any work to YT just drop a comment here and I'd love to take a look! :)

Nice bro make more tutorial like this explained every detail that's great
Thank you! Definitely more tutorials on the way :)
wow nice
I love you dude!!! Thanks!!!!!
Happy to help!
not my pc fighting for its life trying to achieve this using hundreds of loops each separated into its own object and using rigid body instead......... thank you for this video for real it's saving my life dfgfdggdf
Don't worry I went through that exact same struggle which lead to finding this method! :)
Thanks for sharing thissss!!
No problem!
This is a really nice video. Thanks a lot my G
No problem! Glad you liked it :)
@@lewisanimation I dont see my chain in the renders ? Do you got an solution
i love you so much you deserve the whole world for this video
Happy to help! :)
this is so bloody helpful im annoyed i hadnt seen it sooner
Really glad it helps :)
As a beginner 50% playback speed is great lol 😂 Thanks for the tut I'm enjoying it!
The quality of this tutorial is crazy
Thank you :)
Thank you ! I first thought this was gonna be a april fool video considering the date closer to april 1st, so I was a bit hesitant watching so i don't waste time but this is really useful and informative video... ^_^
Thank you so much! :) Really glad you found it useful!
Subscribed.. it was a wonderful tutorial.. thank you 🙂
Thank you so much! Really glad you enjoyed :)
Great tutorial - very useful information. I feel like I just drank from a firehose ... but I like it :) Thanks for putting this together!
Glad it was helpful! :)
THANK YOU SO MUCH!👍👍
You're very welcome! :)
The best tutorial on the specific animation though it's very fast and difficult to follow but still has great information.
Glad it was helpful!
@@lewisanimation sometimes to fast ;D ste to Origin, but how do you du it? i must downloard the video, to se it freame by frame i ges. ;D i mean, you get mor whatshtime, bekaus im must se some parts 1000 time befor i can chatsh the still frame form your fast aktion ;D but yea the way you do it is very good!
Great work, mate!
Thank you so much! :)
@@lewisanimation thank YOU! Waiting for a new tutorials :)
underrated tutorial. keep it up
Thank you very much!
THIS IS VERY NICE THANX MATE!
No problem! :)
Bruv, I don't even realize you are the guy who showed me the 🔥 tuts for rigging.
Happy to help! :)
Amazing
Thank you! :)
THANKS A LOT
No problem!
hooof
so impressed
make more tutorial bro
Thank you so much! More on the way :)
Dope stuff
Thank you! :)
FANTASTISCH!
Thanks for the amazing video, do you have the long version for beginners?
Thanks so much for this tutorial. Very in depth but still quite crisp. I do have one question though: The attached cube / pendant is deforming and stretching while being simulated. Any idea what that could be? I even deleted the MASS weight vertex group but that's not it.
this is nice. ill be back a few times.
Awesome! Glad you enjoyed :)
Thank you for the great tutorial! I got a question though. How to bake pendant action so that it could be exported as Alembic? No problem with the chain exporting out after baking.
i love u ur the best
Glad I could help! :)
Really great and thorough tutorial Thanks for the info this is exactly what i was looking for. Just one issue I'm running into. When I press play or bake, my soft body necklace falls right through the object. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated
Thank you for your tutorial--it's been so long since I used soft bodies, so I'm glad you so were so thorough. Quick question, though. I have a soft body and it's just up and down but parented to an empty at the bottom. It follows the empty but won't pick off the ground, no matter the setting. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?
Could I use this same method to basically turn a flat loop cut torus into a belt? Skipping a lot of the setup for the chain and stuff obviously, and just using the same rigging method?
The only channel where I have to decrease the video speed instead of increasing it *_*
how do you scale the soft body mesh? Good tutorial, thank you :)
great tutorial but i do think showing the hotkeys/shortcuts you’re using on screen (like shift + s) would help improve these tuts a bit
Thank you for the feedback! I'll try and sort it for my next tutorial
How would you go about realistically simulating a liquid filled spherical flexible container as it is moved around across rough terrain, made to collide with various obstacles of different geometries ... The general steps + details but most of all the "do not's" :) Will eventually do it myself but I would greatly appreciate any help and expertise :) Thank-you kindly !!! Absolutely fantastic content and so easy to listen, absorb and follow :)
at 11:16, when you split the mesh so that it creates a new one to use to extrude for the link, what edit shortcut do you use? don't seem to notice anything on screen and can't figure out how to split it, I don't want to use a mesh next to it to shift the weight. ty!
possibly the best tutorial ever but my brain blew up too in a good way tho
Thank you so much! Glad you liked it :)
Hey ! Thanks a lot for this in-depth look at soft bodies. I'm currently trying to accuately simulate a festoon light suspended by two or four strings, and falling back to the ground at the ends. Would-you think I can achieve it using your method ? Best regards, -AH-
