Great to hear!

Rock on, man! Glad you found this helpful.

I agree Blender doesn't make it as easy as other apps, but with the right add-ons it can be easier, quicker and very effective. I use HardOps for example and it's radial array feature is fast, easy and very effective. Is it the best? No, but ya gotta look at the big picture.

@dannybcreative I agree 👍, I also have HardOps but never tried their radial array, I've always used something else. A Python script which happens to be an addon on the marketplace. I would PAY if only we had the 3ds Max arrays, modifiers, and curves.. into Blender. WHYYYYY Blender is so lagging when it comes to such basic features?? Also 3ds max has a more focused "non-destructive" approach to modeling. I'm crying 😭

I have no experience with Max, so can only imagine. C4D has some radial symmetry functions which are nice.

Thank you! Glad you found it useful. I hope to get more posted on a regular basis this year. Always feel free to ask questions.

You're absolutely right. As you mentioned, using the shrinkwrap method allows me some flexibility to make adjustments non-destructively until I'm 100% satisfied that I like the shape. Not shown in the video as it was more direct, but when first forming a shape, that non-destructive approach is helpful. As with anything 3D, always multiple ways to get where ya need to go. Thanks for the comment and I hope you stick around. Cheers!

@@dannybcreative The non-destructive work flow is best.

Works for me anyway! Cheers.

Thank you and I'm glad you found it useful. I hope to be more consistent this year with videos uploaded. Cheers!

All the links are already there, but I did go and double check that they work. They do, but if you have any further issues, please let me know.

Glad the video helped. I have heard about the not saving thing as well. Honestly, I'm unsure as to why this hasn't been fixed. Someone did mention that the Blender Devs are not giving this particular add-on a high priority, so who knows if it's a bug or a feature, or if it will ever be addressed. In the meantime, I may try to look into using the asset browser as a means of storage of all my brushes. If I come up with something that makes sense, I'll make a video and post it right away. Please let me know if you run into any further issues.

Awesome, thank you!

What do you mean? Is it working for you?

@@dannybcreative sorry! *not working* its not showing that addon to me, and its not in the blender extension page :/

SOLVED, its in the extension new window now, not in addons!

The new Blender Add-on/Extensions UI does take a bit of getting used to. Glad you got it sorted out. Rock on!

It's been out for a while, go check it out!

Not sure I completely understand the question. I use machine tools in both edit and object mode and it has different tools for both modes. Is there a particular problem you're running into? I'm definitely not the machine tools expert by any means, and Machin3 has all the info laid out on his channel. I highly recommend checking that out for specific troubleshooting.

Hey, my apologies for the severe delay in newer vids. I've been super busy with work and moving. I do have stuff planned and will hopefully get new stuff online in the coming weeks. Thanks for stickin' around!

Cool.

What Blender are you using? I have been using this method from the time of this video, right up until my current work in ver. 4.1.1 If you can share more about what you're experiencing, I could perhaps better help. I assure you though, this works perfectly in every version of Blender I've used/tested it on.

I only have 64GB. Try using only one texture set. Differentiate between different parts of your model with ID maps and masking in SP. One texture set for multiple parts of the same model.

You're welcome!

Wonderful! Good luck and have fun!

Yay! Thank you!

If you mean one texture set, i.e. one diffuse map, one normal, one bump, etc... then yes, technically though I imagine resolution will suffer a bit. Will the game engine you're using allow for UDIMs?

Fixed!

Thanks Danny. And what an amazing community. Really friendly, super useful! ❤

Thank you, welcome aboard and glad you find it all helpful!

Thanks! Glad you like them!

@@dannybcreative Sure, always

Thanks

PNG is what I use.

Thanks!

You're welcome!

I haven't tried yet, but give it a shot. I'll see if I can get some time this weekend to test it out. My guess is that it will work fine.

Cheers, mate!

Hey, and thank you for your interest. Unfortunately, the discount code was a temporary promotion at the time of launch. That said, the amount info you get from this course makes its price more than reasonable in my opinion. But I understand if you'd rather not commit. No worries! I do have some free content on YT that you may find helpful, and I'm looking to put up more once I have more time. Cheers!

@@dannybcreative Thanks for the reply Danny, I think I will make the purchase anyway because I cannot find a decent course anywhere on this. Was just curious about the discount code. Great stuff and definitely gonna make the purchase.

Great, thank you. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Were you able to try it exactly as I mentioned in the video? I'm able to get it to work in 3.5.1, but have run into the occasional failure. If it's still broken, than it looks as though the devs just don't have any interest in fixing it. :(

Thank you so much!

Great! Glad you found the video helpful!

This is likely due to the view transforms being incorrect. I'll put up a video specifically on how to edit in AP using OCIO and Blender Filmic.

Cool. Glad you liked the tut.

Ooops! Sorry about that. Links are corrected now.

@@dannybcreative Thank you so much for correcting the links as soon as you were alerted. It so well represents the generosity and integrity of this community.

No problem. Thank you for letting me know.

Cool! Have fun!

Cheers! I can't remember where I learned that from, but ever since, it's been the only way I approach height maps. So much more control and flexibility!

Thanks, will do!

Ha! Let me know if you'd like to seen anything specific and I'll make something. I need to add more SP vids.

Awesome, thank you, Chris. Hope you enjoy it and if you run into any snags hit me up in Discord and we'll get em sorted.

Thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. Cheers!

Thank you. Wait till I post the followup video on adding thickness. That adds an entirely new level of complexity.

Weird. It's working for me in 3.4.1 and 3.3.2. Have you tried clicking into the directory of your brush pack and making sure you've not selected anything in there?

Thanks for letting me know. I'll look into that. In the meantime you can DL Blender 2.93 from Blender.org and just copy the folder over as shown in the vid. I'll get it back up on G-Drive ASAP.

Enjoy!

Thank you for the kind words!

I hear ya. Honestly, for me, I'm back and forth. I so badly want to ditch PS and I'm just about there. I know PS has some new AI driven tools like it's new masking abilities that are amazing, but does that negate all the problems with the software? I dunno really. I know I use it less and less with each passing year. In fact, Affinity Photo is now my automatic go-to for most of my work unless a client needs me to use PS for a specific reason.

Glad you liked the vid. What in particular are you wanting to know at the moment?

@@dannybcreative mostly photo bashing and matte painting because I am trying to do what concept artist are doing in photoshop, blending 3D scenes with photo manipulation, a lot of them are using blender

Well unfortunately, I'm probably not the right person for that sort of video as I don't do concept art. That said, I'm happy to discuss processes for getting renders into AP.

The Blender compositor is fine for simple things, sure, but when you cross over into more advanced needs, it just can't compete with a solid photo editor like Affinity Photo or Photoshop. For video, it can't keep up with Fusion, Nuke or even AE. In the end it really depends on your particular needs, and if that works for ya, so be it. Cool.
