In this video, we check out the Blender Build Modifier - a modifier that animates objects piece by piece inside of Blender! This modifier can be used to animate construction of objects, as well as having the ability to have the faces of the object randomly appear or disappear over a set number of frames! In this tutorial we talk step by step about how to use the build modifier, including how you can prioritize certain surfaces to be shown first! Want to Support The CG Essentials?
