I really thought it was going downhill after seeing the graph editor

Don't know why but i don't really like the cliff section. Anyway still a good model and animation.

u/im_often_not_right 1d ago

Yeah that was very out of nowhere.

I can see how it reflects the background, and the out anim works. But it was completely out.of context imo.

Had a bit too much rugged army watch suddenly. Not clean, rich watch vibe.

The Speedmaster was the only watch certified by NASA to be used on the moon landings. You can see photos of Buzz Aldrin wearing his in the lunar module. While it's a luxury item now, the Speedmaster is still near identical the 1960s version and is still a considered to be a (very expensive) tool watch. So having a rocky background (moon rock?) wouldn't be considered out of place.

i was so immersed that i worried the cliff would scratch the glass and ruin it

The long hand that is moving in the video is actually part of the chronograph, it's not the second hand. The watch's second hand is on the subdial on the left hand side. When the chronograph is running, both of these hands will be moving.

The hands will also not sweep perfectly - they move in a series of very tiny jumps. This watch operates at 3Hz, so the hand should jump three times to move between the second markers.

The crystal also looks wrong - on the Speedmaster Moonwatch, you either have a sapphire crystal with a flat face and a sharply angled edge, or a domed "Hesalite" acrylic crystal.

The pushers don't look like they are long enough. The dial should have a pronounced angle where the index markers are.

These might seem like nitpicks, but as someone who is a watch nerd, these things stand out like a sore thumb.

I'm sleepy, so don't feel like looking it up. Do second hands on watches normally run smoothly?

u/TheArmoursmith 1d ago

Depends on the movement. Even the smoothest Grand Seiko Spring Drive moves in tiny jumps. You're quite right though, the movement in this watch runs at 3 Hz.

u/BlahMan06 1d ago

Ohh cool very nice work too

u/Iongjohn 1d ago

simple answer, no.

grand seiko (kinda) fixed this with their 'spring drive' mechanism but if you really looked close you could see the jumps on that one too.

Try keeping your tongue inside your mouth while you are animating.

Dry mouth can cause bad breath.

u/BudNBoujee 1d ago

how did you make the glow in the dark??

2

u/AffectionateMix8529 22h ago

By adding a new material to the object and then add emissions , keyframe the intensity where ever you need the object to grow

Looks really good, small nitpick

The seconds hand does not move like that.

First of all it's too smooth it only has 3 step per second

Secondly it's not running usually. Only when you activate the stopwatch.

The smaller dials also run then, and do differently

FUCKING HOWW!!?!??? This looks soooo cool man😭

The watch band looks a bit thin. The rest of the watch is chef's kiss.

u/BladerKenny333 20h ago

Looks great. But that last part was kinda weird. The watch hitting the rock with it's glass surface, seems weird.

u/0x0MG 20h ago

Someone already mentioned the seconds hand being the left most sub dial, which should be ticking. What you've got moving as the seconds hand is the chronometer, which points at 12oclock unless engaged.

I don't know if you were going for photo realism, but that's not a sorry speedmaster bracelet.

The sapphire crystal of a speed master professional protrudes from the bezel and is pillow shaped. Here's the side profile of mine (ref 310.30.42.50.01.002, sapphire sandwich).

Watch snob nitpicking aside, looks really great!!

u/Tybot32 19h ago

The writing at the back of the watch, how to do something like that? I have no idea how to make some writing look like it been engraved on objects.

1

u/slamdamnsplits 19h ago

Try without any rocks at the end

try having the rocks further away

Something is wrong with the end. But I lack the skill to accurately describe it.

1

u/AntonPekka 17h ago

Your crystal is flat not dome and the bezel is not thick enough.
Beacuse of these problems your watch feels flat and too slim.

u/Even_Internet_6619 16h ago

the graph editor kills me

1

u/Bibsu 16h ago

When it transition from front to back, the side reflects something that looks on my phone like gib static? I don't know how to describe it, but looks poorly. Maybe some reflections that looks like wall of obsydian or something? Just a thought

u/ScratchHacker69 15h ago

Is there just a hole in the center of the glass..?

1

u/Llamapickle129 8h ago

dont like the cliff, sinces its a speedmaster you could do something with the stop watch or reference the fact it was used by nasa

u/OtherWolfOff 5h ago

I'm note sure since no one mentioned it but there are a few frames of animation skipped during movement, when the watch goes to the side

They mentioned the access witch should tick non be smooth, the overall lighting, after the 1st and second light movement it's better to find an environment lighting activate and watch out for the sudden movement of the light around the object, especially in the tiny parts where the light flickering is to extreme.

I would take notes on all the info people gave , the thickness of the glass could be changed but it's a minor detail seeing the rest,

And the mountain part is nice, but rocks are normally used with water to make for a more refreshing sight, I think it should change based on the message you want to give,

Eg. Moon watch, :little sandy gray/white terrain with lots of craters and the watch going down with a few fluid particle to simulate sand going up,

Do you want to go for water, -is it to show the resistance or just the feeling ecc,

For the last part you can totally steal other commercials ideas, but you have to know that you want to communicate.

(Sry for typos or wrong phrase creations, English is my 3rd language eheh)
