@@FayFfbe It makes me happy to hear that. Glad it helped. Take care.

@@a_occhipinti Haha, glad to hear it.

@@iangreene8720 Thank you. Which UI changes do you mean? My UI or Nomad’s UI? And if my UI, can you help me understand which areas. Appreciate the comment. Take care.

I think you may mean my title cards that appear as I begin a new topic. I no longer do this in my 2025 videos.

I rewatched this entire video and I get it. I did a poor job of pausing my actions, showing the title card, and then picking back up where I left off. In one scenario, I think I skipped over an action while the title card is being shown. Thanks for the critique, you'll be happy to know I'm not using full screen title cards anymore, just a side rail indicator of which topic I am covering.

At the top of the "Add" menu just before selecting a primitive. I failed to mention that you should make sure "On Gizmo" is checked at the very top. Apologies for forgetting to mention this important fact.

@@making-things Thanks so much! Now I'm on to your video on validate!

@@shoemonger You're welcome. Thanks for pointing out my mistake. It's an important step. Take care.

Yes, you got it exactly right. I should have mentioned that, but forgot. Glad you found it.

@@making-things thanks to you, great tutorials greta channel. keep it up

@ I appreciate it.

@@ShinjiBabel Love the question. I may have to make a video on this for my beginner course. The answer is yes you can repeatedly use the same Matcap with every new project. Go to Project Menu (Folder Icon) and tap New. In the popup dialogue, there will be a Reset section where you can uncheck “Matcap”, meaning you will no longer reset the currently selected Matcap every time you open a new file.

Welcome. Take care.

@@carbonguyFor corner to corner alignment, if two objects have a corner pivot, you can rotate and face those pivots, and then type the same X and Y Translation values nor both objects. You can also use an Array Repeater which can be found in the Scene menu under primitives. Repeaters are a good solution to aligning objects next to one another. Hopefully we’ll get a Snap to Objects option one day. For concentric cylinders, I would also recommend repeaters. If you use a repeater, it can be validated and broken into separate pieces when you are ready.

Why dense mesh? On the contrary, I use the masking method mainly with low poly objects, because it is very easy to mask 1 vertex with low poly objects. I know of no more effective method than masking 1 corner vertex of any low poly object to place the pivot. Yes, validation is necessary, but I always use a validated cube with division 0, so it doesn't matter if it is validated or not, you just change the shape with the gizmo. Is there any other unvalidated primitive besides the cube / plane where you can use your method - does it also work for a cylinder with division 5, for example ? Of course, everyone can use their preferred method, as long as they achieve their goal. Greetings and thank you

Yes it works with any object. I don’t disagree the masking method works. I have used it myself. These are just two ways of doing it and it’s okay that we do things differently. I just don’t choose to use that way in certain situations. I often work with invalidated objects especially when I use the tube tool. So I need to move the pivot with invalidated objects quite often.

The important thing is that users have options. I am happy to recommend the masking technique as well.

So by default when you bring in a cube or sphere then go open gizmo then gizmo settings you can see scale functions. By default they are 1.0 uniform. You can change those values. By observing the values you can apply the same technique in the video. And for many initially created primitives the values reflect pseudo size. Units in Nomad are theoretically undefined. But the Initial cube and sphere are equal to 1.0 millimeter if exported to a precise modeler like Blender.

If I am understanding this correctly, you nailed it. Nomad Sculpt uses millimeters as its default unit, so the sphere is essentially a 1mm cube as well.

100%

Love to hear that. I'm curious what questions I was able to answer. Anyway. Thanks for the comment. Have a good day.

I didn’t know about the Arrow Snap or how to use Bake. Is there a way to get the Gizmo to snap to a corner or edge without manually moving it? I never seem to be steady enough to get it just right.

@ Not really, but my hack for this is to turn on Snap for position while also turning on Pivot and when I have let’s say a 1x1x1 cube. I set my position snap to 0.5 and I can easily snap it to corner.

@ Your question makes me think I should start adding shorts videos as a way to reply to questions I get

@ Well, you inspired a video. I recorded it and will likely post it today for the benefit of everyone else. Thanks for the help.

You're welcome. Happy to help. Take care.

That was one of the best discoveries I've had with Nomad. I was very excited to share that with you all.

Thanks so much. I am doing what I can to make every inch count. Thanks for the comment.

@@rivforest2395 It’s hard not to ramble on, at least for me. Glad to hear it. Thank you for the comment. Take care.

@@SubZeroX29 Thank you. I do my best. I have lots more to cover. I am editing the next video as we speak. I appreciate the comment. Take care.

Thank you Garobi. I will do my best. I am writing a note to myself to make this video for you. Take Care.

@@making-things thank you~ I'm looking forward to it ☕❤

@@carbonguy I appreciate that. I am getting better at it. Lots of editing helps 😀 I have two more videos in editing now, at least one coming out shortly. Hoping to have much faster turn arounds on these.

You're welcome and I totally agree.

Yah, it's even fun as an adult.

Yes, I can share how to do a bit of that. I would love to know what types of 2D things you'd like to turn into 3D.

@@angieangie21 I may try and make a Q&A video to directly answer these questions. Thanks for reaching out!

Sorry, I was making a joke about how bad my procreate brush making tutorial was in this video. I love that you would be interested in that though. I am starting to put together a beginner course for this channel. Coming soon. Sorry I got your hopes up. It was a poorly executed joke.

@@dariamiller8156Agreed.

Turn on Gizmo, open the Gizmo Settings in the upper right menu bar. Under Matrix, uncheck Uniform Scale. You can enter millimeter values into the red, green, and blue fields. Red is equivalent to width, green is height, and blue is depth. Hope that helps.

That’s awesome tank you so much!!!

@@jagdishbilgi1518 Well I am glad I am able to fake it well enough that you can’t tell I barely know what I am doing.

Thank you so much for the kind words. I am really happy to hear the videos have been helpful. Apologies for failing to say that in my first response. It brings me a lot of joy to read this.

No, I hadn't even heard of it. I just looked quickly. It has a similar modeling style to Adobe's Project Neo. I do like that style of non destructive modeling.

@ yeah I was sharing cause it looks a little more interesting than the adobe stuff and I assume more affordable.

@@Max10_B Totally appreciate it. Thanks for the share.

It looks really cool.

Thanks so much. I am working on 3 beginner videos at the moment, focused on the basics and will keep adding more. The hope is that I'll have sort of a beginner's course before long.. So that's a coincidence you said that.

It makes me happy to hear that. Thanks for the comment. Made my day.

So glad to hear it. I know what you mean by the static image, it can be very limiting. Take care!

Love to hear you’re learning a lot. Makes me happy.

@@stlredbird It’s hard to know exactly what’s going on without seeing it. Is there any way you can send a recording of you doing this and send it to [email protected]

@@making-things​​⁠ that’s super generous of you! Yes I will try to do a screen recording of it tomorrow. Thanks!

Thanks Scottmen! I appreciate all the support.

Thanks. I thought so too. I appreciate the comment. Take care.

It’s a lot of fun. I hope you’re able to try it.

@@SkyTaylor-w1p Glad you enjoyed it.

@@HyperAxoloto I’m glad to hear it. Take care.

@@crazypepecat That’s awesome. I’m so glad I could help. What did you figure out? And what was your project?

Nomad is awesome. It continues to impress me with every update.

You are welcome. Yes, I can definitely make a projecting tool tutorial.

@@a_occhipinti Haha. Either you have been trying to figure this out for a while or I am that charming. It’s “An elegant weapon for a more civilized age”
