Turgineer's Blog

Turgineer is a Turkish person who makes 3D animations as a hobby in social media, he is especially known for being active in the comments section of Reddit and YouTube.

His profile character is Engineer from Team Fortress 2 who wearing Ottoman Fez on the Engineer Helmet. Compatible with Turgineer's nickname.

Turgineer's goal is to animate about the series, games and people he loves and also puts his own character, Turgineer, in some of his animations, which is to convey Turkish culture to the world in an entertaining way. However, he needs to learn 3D modelling and animating to make his dream come true.

Becoming a popular YouTube commentor

He has been actively commenting on YouTube since 2020. Turgineer's habit of constantly writing comments reason was mostly to remember the videos he had watched before. The YouTube has a problem that it forgets the watched videos in a short time. Turgineer first tried to solve this problem by liking the video that he watched , but the number of liked videos was stuck at 5.000 and he discovered that sometimes the likes of the videos he liked disappeared. For this reason, Turgineer got into the habit of writing basic comments, but he saw with his own eyes that he's comments can get lost too.

Over time, many people stated that they saw Turgineer many times, which motivated Turgineer to write comments more and changed the main purpose of his commenting. Turgineer accept that he has so many comments in YouTube because he spends too much time on YouTube and doesn't fully watch most of the videos he watches. In 2024, he accidentally reached the makximum limit of 5.000 videos for his "watch later" list, which he saved to comment on later. (lol) He's new goal is to being able to write comments in good humor.

Turgineer first made Source Filmmaker animations at 2017 inspired by Team Fortress 2 animations on YouTube. Since he did this as a hobby for a long time, he did not develop himself in animation seriously. In 2020, he decided to make animation as a Profession. when he graduated from high school, he took the exam in same year to study animation at university and failed seriously. Turgineer, who failed the university exam for the second time in next year, gave up on his animation university goal and continues as a hobby.

In 2018, he made a few attempts at creating a new nickname and made his name "Turkish Engineer" as a sketch, inspired by his favorite game character, the Engineer from Team Fortress 2, later shortened to Tur-gineer. (Turkish pronunciation: "Turciniyır"). The structure of the name Turgineer is inspired by Vagineer.

Turgineer's main goal is to have channel verification tick by YouTube and other media:

Mega Portal (2014-2017):

Turgineer first debuted on YouTube under the name "Mega Portal" (it's other name Türk Portalı) in 2014, this nickname is inspired by the Turkish gaming channel "Oyun Portal". He shared low quality Wheely gameplay videos as a hobby, but his YouTube channel was shut down.

Turgineer (2017-):

Turgineer's YouTube channel was opened on 15 March 2017 under the name "Turkish Portal" after Mega Portal was closed. The first content he shared on his channel is the Source Filmmaker animation experiment he shared on May 26, 2018, and it is the only Turkish-language video on the channel:

In 2018, Turgineer burned the Nvidia GT 940M graphics card while playing GMOD, rendering the computer unable to use Source Filmmaker. That's why Turgineer joined the trend of flag editing (personifying countries by using country flags in a video), which he was interested in at the time, and started making edits by taking examples from channels such as KebabS'. Basically the videos it uses are mostly TF2 animations. At the end of 2018, Turgineer approached 100 videos with its flag edits and adventure edits for other channels.

Channel adventures edits were storytelling videos personifying other YouTube channels. However, since the channel adventure edits and Turgineer's own videos started to appear cringe to Turgineer, Turgineer deleted these videos from YouTube in 2020. He shared a video with a few scenes from these deleted videos so that the hours spent doing these edits are not completely destroyed.

Turgineer made flag montages with several channels. But when the flag montage trend ended, most channels stopped editing. When YouTube's messaging system shut down in 2019, communication between channels was completely broken. Almost all of these channels are now closed. Turgineer shared his last flag edit video in January 2020 and stopped making flag edits.

Turgineer's channel suspended by YouTube (2019):

He continued to do so even though the trend of flag montages had passed. Turgineer's video about the Cyprus War and Kashmir Issue received more engagement than expected. According to Turgineer, the report received spam due to these two videos and the Turgineer channel was suspended by YouTube for alleged "Hate Speech".

Suspended on March 22, 2019, Turgineer sent an appeal every day to take back the channel. On June 8, 2019, YouTube gave a positive response and found Turgineer not guilty.

YouTube sends e-mail that Turgineer is suspended.

YouTube responds positively to Turgineer's objection ten days later.

Turgineer made gaming videos in 2020, influenced by gaming channels like VanossGaming, Zanny, Nano; but left after a while due to Potato GPU. Unlike the Mega Portal's old gameplay videos, these videos are edited. But due to Intel HD Graphics 520, the video is already low graphics and this reduces the watchability of the video a lot. For this reason, he gave up gaming videos until he bought a new computer.

Turgineer's Team Fortress 2 video

In 2021, he decided to focus only on animations and made a Star Wars animation in a few hours. The fact that the animation does not include walking and fighting scenes reveals Turgineer's inexperience.

Although Turgineer continued with simple animations, he started to experience problems when he started increasing the lighting, and when he could not make some scenes due to hardware inadequacies, he took a break from the animation. It was no different with Blender, he decided to wait to get a computer good enough for modelling.

In 2023, Turgineer started recording game videos with its new RX 6600 computer in his second channel. After his failure in gaming videos in 2020, Turgineer did not deal with gameplay until he bought an RX 6600 & R5 5500 PC in 2023.

The first video of Turgineer with Grafor.

Although Turgineer no longer shares game videos on his own channel, he shoots game videos on his friend Grafor's channel. If the game videos was successful, Turgineer plans to record more videos with Grafor.

However, later Turgineer continued to make gaming videos with its second channel, Kaede (Turgie), instead of Grafor.

Turgineer sometimes makes Turkish memes, too. But he mostly does this with another friend, "Buçokzort":

Profile Photo/Character:

Mega Portal used the Portal symbol in Portal 1 as its logo in the years 2014-2017. Turkish Portal used the Turkish flag for 2017-2018. Tur-gineer Animations/Turgineer in 2017-2018, he used the "Texas Ten Gallon" cosmetic because he could not find the "Mining Helmet" cosmetic belonging to TF2 Engineer in Source Filmmaker and Steam Workshop. He managed to add the cosmetics he was looking for in 2019 and changed his profile photo.

He redesigned his profile again in 2021 using a simpler Star Wars design in 2021. The most serious difference is the Ottoman Fez added to the Engineer's helmet:

In this way, the name Tur-gineer becomes compatible with the Fez Helmet.

Banner:

Turgineer designed a poster for the banner at Source Filmmaker in 2018, but couldn't decide for a new poster in 2020 and chose to keep it simple and put a Renault 9.
