In this tutorial from Blender Made Easy, you’ll learn how to create a realistic ticking clock animation using constraints and drivers in Blender, rendered in EEVEE. The tutorial is led by Stephen Pearson.

Modeling the Clock

• Start with a circle and extrude to create the clock base.
• Add hour, minute, and second increments using cubes and array modifiers.

Using Constraints

• Create controllers to map the rotation of the clock hands.
• Set up transformations for hour, minute, and second hands.

Ticking Driver

• Add a driver for the second hand to achieve a snapping effect.
• Use rounding operations to ensure accurate ticking.

Clock Animation

• Animate the clock hands using keyframes.
• Adjust interpolation for smooth transitions.

Lighting and Materials

• Set up area lights for realistic lighting.
• Create materials for the clock, including metallic and roughness settings.
• Enable ray tracing and motion blur for enhanced realism.

By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have a fully animated clock with realistic ticking and lighting effects.
