Sooo happyy to see you!!🤩🤩 In blendercon'22, @rikschutter did a live animation session in which he animated the dear default cube and gave him a character and story. So i challenged myself to make a similar animation and establish characters using just the 8 vertices of a cube. Hope you like it and dont forget to share your reviews Voices: @sawanee_k and @d_chinmayee_raikar #blender #blender3d #defaultcube #cube #animation #cute #funny #funnyanimation #voiceover
