What it is

A 75-minute Blender 2.8 tutorial by Derek Elliott that walks through modeling a 3D phone, texturing and lighting it, then animating it and syncing the result to an audio track for a product advertisement. It is rendered entirely in the EEVEE real-time engine and covers several separate animations such as a button slide with shape keys and an exploded camera.

There are a lot of free tutorials on making phone. Here, I just name a few tutorials below. It would be great for you to observe whether they have used the subdivision modifier for the close up model or not. For myself, I usually use the subdivsion modifier for organic shapes, and the bevel for non-organic shapes. Good luck! [this video] [LINK]

Following this tutorial: [this video] when I try to bevel a circle I get: [LINK] Why isn't bevel working only for the selected vertexes in the same direction? I tried merging by distance but the result is the same.

[LINK] Hey guys while making a phone model, reference to this tutorial : [this video] Why is this showing me such weird shading, is it because of the two seperate objects or edges or something else, I am a beginner to blender and my first time working with eevee so any help is appreciated. [LINK]
