Ah, the bevel trick... Thank you. I was losing my mind trying to figure out why it wasn't beveling evenly.

Hey I've learnt so much from your channel for Maya and wanted to share a tip of my own :D. For Tip 6 where you move the pivot like in maya where we hold "D" and then snap to vertices with "V", I've actually made a video on how to do that similarly in blender on my channel regarding this which not only snaps the pivot to the vertex and if needed also aligns the pivot orientation.

In fact, you don't need perfect Sub-D for this kind of hard surface modeling unless you need deformation effects. For game engines, such resources usually have too many unnecessary vertex data.

Awesome. its very helpfull

Regarding tip 9, if you are in Vertex Selection Mode with your one vertex selected, you can CTRL+RMB to extrude to the mouse position. Similarly with edges in Edge Selection Mode, etc. :)

My favorite way to snap a mesh origin to a selection (without the need of using the 3d cursor) is to first enable the included 3D Viewport Pie Menus add-on (search for pie in the add-on section in preferences). Then, with your mesh selected, go into edit mode and make a selection. Finally, press Ctrl + Alt + X (this brings up the Origin menu) and choose the top radial option (Origin to selected). So much faster than other methods! The additional benefit of enabling the pie menus add-on is that it transforms things like Ctrl + S (which traditionally just saves). But with this enabled, this shortcut offers a lot of options from New, Open, Save, Save as, Incremental Save, Import, Export, etc.. ! It really is the cat's pajamas!

Shift + Click on an option in the outliner to propagate that action to the child objects. (like hiding all objects under the empty + the empty)

Easy HDRi addon is free and quite useful for fast selection of images, just in case you find this interesting

Thanks for making this! Side-Note; The singular form of "vertices" is "vertex," not "vertice."

looking forward to your course, believing it's gonna be amazing

Personally feel tip 9, when two points are connected, you can choose the two points to be connected, press the F key, faster than extrusion adsorption

It you double click collection it will select everything in that collection and you can move those objects at the same time. Seems simpler that setting up empties and dealing with objects two levels deep (empty-collection) Turning off selectability is great for blue prints and reference images

#11 I wish I knew why in hell the blender devs have bound EVERY key to something, it makes using blender akin to playing two pianos at the same time and remapping keys is a massive chore.

Thank you for looking at this program from a Maya/Max user POV like me! Step the game in Blender up a bit! I set this stuff up as startup file. Also checkout "simple tabs" (if you have a lot of addons).

Thank you sir for this video.

my sir from Tron education he say to create low poly object project for most of game assets ..my few project reached 50k+ tris he say reduce it and make it low poly to get job easily ,,,, is that even correct ??? for example i made game weapon gun it had almost 50+k tris he said to make low poly

Can someone tell me from unwrapping point of view ..whether i should add extra edges on the borders and then smooth the model Or Should i bevel the edges and then press 3 to smooth the model Which will give better unwrap on the edges??

You are going to nake a multimillionaire game developer.

all i can say, that's right.

re the back part of the car, i would split it down the middle, then each half would map with less distortion generally in blender I lay them out either side of the mirror centre then apply a mirror, with x on the data turned on

you remind me of AD and Rudy

this is really the best hard surface tutorial I ever see in my life.

Very useful video; thank you very much for the advices!

Is there an analog to the Quad Draw tool in Blender ?

The ShrinkWrap section was the most brilliant idea I've ever seen!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

as my third day learning blender, i had done all cg cookie beginers playlist, the famous donut and some work modeling without help here and there, after seeing JLmussi trying blender video i run up into your channel, i understood all the basics but i was runing in some problems that wasnt mentioned on cgcookie playlist, like the scale/bevel problem or even foucous the object with the period key for better navigation, i can´t stress enough how you are helping me understand these litle but super important details, thank you so much, all the way from brazil 🟢😁

Great tutorial. Really needed some tips to fix my model's UV. Thanks.

Maybe i miss something but with that method you get the detail on a high subdivided geometry, so wont get a lower poly version right? The point is to just start modeling with more subvidisions? Thanks

Dude are u sure? I mean thats n-gone

How do you manually import the opacity map in maya?

Too bad that you didn't finish whole model in this video.

You use a very nice workflow and your patience is the key in modeling process, also as you know, do and re-do , could be the best training experience!!

This is well put and I appreciate. Just learnt something new today. Another method I use is I take the base mesh into zbrush carved in the details with alphas and other sculpting techniques and retopologize that high model in Maya(I'm a Maya User). It takes some time but it has made my complex hard surface model more cleaner. But again the route to take depends on the model.

It's just interesting while I usually always try to use as less as geometry as possible, I just had the issue last week when I had a client asking for very small details to be included and I went the way applying a subd which I usually don't do and I wondered whether this is a legit way😅

I see that you use ngons in some areas, it could produce pinch or artifacts?

I found "Move and Sew" instead of "Stitch Together" was way faster and actually worked for maya 2024. It's found under "Cut/Sew" in the UV Editor

Your channel is everything. I love your videos so much, thank you for these essential tips

Thank you so much for making this video!

You are the best.

Can you please make another video for remesh workflow for highpoly SubD mesh like this one

I was following chamferzone's revolver tutorial and was facing this exact pinching issue with SubD enabled. Thanks for the tutorial. It's been really helpful for this specific problem I was facing.

Looks like an interesting technique that surely gets great results. My question would be from a practical point o view. Unless there is a shot that needs to be that close into the object, like shooting an ant crawling on that barrel and that particular shot would also be static and not animated, I personally see no practical reason to finesse that surface to that level and use additional time to do it as it will not be visible at all on medium shots or animated sequences. Is it good to know how to do it, academically? For sure, no doubt about it. Is it really practical in real life scenarios where everything is on fast forward these days? Not so sure... These kind of surface distortions tend to appear only on very shiny surfaces with almost no roughness or textures and only under certain light angles. But again, it is always good to know how to efficiently fix things.

🥰

Do you leave the piece u detached as a separate piece or u merge it back when you are done? (not sure if you are actually working on a detached part or simply an isolated view selection)

thank you 🙏

you're a legend man this is exactly what im after
