Thanks! Wish you best of luck :)

Hu?

Happy to help!

:D Happy I could help!

Like sektors in a dart board? 🎯

@@3dplockis No I wanted to just make one half of the circle invisible. I just needed to subdivide and delete the geometry and it was that simple.

Ah, ok 👍 sounds like an great solve

True that, always more then one way to solve something 😀

By default, it is 1000 times bigger. Build your bolt like that, 1000x bigger. When it's done, just scale it down 1000 times. Then apply the scale.

You can also set your units to millimeters, unit scale to 0.001 and grid scale to 0.001. When you design your parts, they will then show the correct dimensions. Also, when you're entering the values into numeric inputs, it will round the values off for display purposes, but it still keeps greater precision for the actual value stored with the model.

? Sorry I don’t understand

You’re welcome!

So it´s acting like it does here? kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaKun3d7ncigrJYsi=SbN57bEDHVRWOz8i&t=161 Just take it from there and make sure the Cubes origin point is in the center of mass (volume)

@@3dplockis Here is an example. I.e it rotates 90 then resets the colors on the next rotation kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJOnmnmLdq6an5o

@@3dplockis I have hacked my way around this. The problem is that if you roll an object (such as a rubiks cube) the colors do not rotate the full 360,, I.E green will be on top, then it rolls 90 and then green jumps to the top again for the next 90 rotation. I have hacked it by keyframing rotating the geometry 90 after the set position node.

Never realized this problem, but nice that you solved it!

Nice! Good luck and hope it helps!

Yes I have several on this Chanel on how to create low poly cars from reference images, I recommend u start there

@@3dplockis thank you so much!

Please do, hope it works as well as it did for me.

Thanks! Happy I could help, I hope it works for you as well that it worked for me! :)

Glad I could help

Thank you! I thought I already had it there, but will release it later this week.

@@3dplockis No worries haha :D I can't wait to be able to download it!

It`s up: plockis.gumroad.com/l/mazdamx5

Thank you! Happy I could help!

Thank you, yeah you learn a lot about knowing what’s gone wrong

Thank you! 😊

Happy to help, and it should work in 3.3 as well. But it has unfortunately several flaws in cycles.

Hi! Some of my car clips might be helpful. Thanks for the tip and I will try to do something like that in the future.

Haha, yes that would be me, sorry 😝 repeat offender as well 😳

Thank you! Happy to help!

Hi! I do this in my video "Low poly Nissan skyline GT-R R32" kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZqVdImLq8hmfcUsi=LzRszodY0-As3V65

@@3dplockis bro the video is fast and your not explaining I can't understand

@@3dplockis it will be good if you explain everything how to door it I'm beginner

@@YoZzit Ok, then I understand, I Will se if I can do a video about it in the future. Any object you want me to model?

@@3dplockis yes please umm do car it self like bugatti or any car because it will be good to understand because it's very complicated when modeling car

Happy to help!

fixed: used mapping to change the Z position

@@Danstry Yes, with this method, that is the easiest solution. Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you!

Interesting, I didn't know that. But I can't get it to work. Are you saying that in edit mode I can simply press E for extrude, then for example Y, and then for example 12 mm, and it should be in millimeters? Because I can't get it to work. Is there any add-on I need to activate?

@@3dplockis that's interesting because yes that's exactly what I'm saying and it works for me just fine. Not sure exactly what add-on it could be. I'm away for the weekend and will have a look Monday.

@@3dplockis I've looked it up and apparently there are two modes for input. A simple mode which is what you're on... And an advanced mode which I'm talking about... Yours just accepts numbers and very basic stuff but advanced accepts different units and expressions. Google "numeric input blender manual" for the documentation. I think you press "=" and "ctrl+=" to toggle between simple and advanced input. Let me know how you get on with that.

Look at that! NumpadAsterisk (easiest on a Swedish keyboard) activated the function, but it seems like I need to press it before entering each new measurement, and input the unit type every time? Is that how it works or am I missing something?

@@3dplockis Does the '=' not make it stay on all the time? No I don't have to activate it every time. In fact I've not had to turn it on since my blender journey began years ago so it must have been turned on right at the start and got saved with the preferences ages ago.

Thanks!

Thank you! ☺️ happy I could help!

Yep! Lost the urge to do something new for a while, but now I'm back on track. However, I've shifted towards making more focused tutorials now and less focus on cars. But I'm considering starting a new channel solely dedicated to cars, and more casual so there's less time spent in editing. Big thanks again for all your comments from the beginning, they've been truly appreciated!

@@3dplockis Interesting Idea

Do you mean at the beginning of the clip? Well, I did that just because I thought it would be easier to follow that way, and as you say, many people work like this, so I thought it would be a recognizable workflow. But your method works as well.

Thank you, happy i could help! I don`t have a short answer for that but I can see if I can do a tutorial about it in the future. (And I learned the word Bifurcation, thank you)

Hi! In my lates video I have a solution for your question: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKe0iHRviK94n7s

Thanks!

Thank you and I agree

Happy to help! And your question is interesting, never had to do the scenario you describe. But I'll try out some solutions to see which one is best. I'll get back to you if I find something good.

@@3dplockis Awesome, looking forward to what you come up with!

Not as easy as I hoped but I found an solution with geonodes, will try to get out an tutorial this weekend

@@3dplockis You rock -- I didn't even think about geonodes for this. I got this working by making a copy of the coil curve, compressing it all the way, and then converting to a mesh. I then copied this compressed mesh to another coil (this coil is already a mesh in the "extended" state) as a shape key that I can animate. Not perfect, but it worked!

Might accidentally find a quick fix depending on your goals (working in Blender 4). If you start out with a curve with geometry, like my coil, and then just add an image texture to your BSDF, press Ctrl+T (Node Wrangler) to get mapping and texture coordinates, and then choose UV. Now, the image might 'roll' when animated; if so, change the twist method in the object data properties to Z-up. Now it might look okay. But to get a better understanding of the UV map, make a copy of the curve, convert it to mesh, then open it up in UV editing. Press A, and you will see that Blender has already fixed a nice UV map for you. With this information and understanding of the created map, you can adjust your image to your liking, and then it will work on the curve. It might be a rough solution, but for me, who works a lot with images, it's by far the easiest I've seen. Does this work or do you rather see the geo nodes suggestion?

Happy to help!

You just need to activate the "add curve: extra objects" in the add-ons under preferences

@@3dplockis awesome, thanks!

Happy to help!

This is done in Blender, it’s free

Well, I don't personally work with that. Now, when I tried it, I don't get it; it only shows the combined/median dimensions. Or what am I missing? Or are you talking about the transform panel (N) for object mode? But I'm happy to learn if I missed something.

The image from the blueprints.com? Or how do you mean? Well yes you almost always need to rezise the image in blender if you want to use my method, see 1:16 in the video. But if scale and size is not important for your project you could use an image as it is. Or do you mean resize an image before you use it in blender, if so no, you don`t need to resize it before using it in blender.

Thanks! When you mention 'next stage,' are you referring to the next stage of building a car? If so, I have several different videos demonstrating that process. Or is there something specific you'd like to see?

Thanks!

Thanks!
