Thank you :)

Really good to hear it was useful for you and thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the suggestions. This might have been a good idea to add to this video- One REALLY simple way to achieve what you suggest here is to go into sculpt mode and use the grab brush to just pull out and push in some parts of the finished model. I'll add this idea to my list and perhaps get around to doing more complex vases.

Good to hear! Thanks.

Subdivisions won't affect your printing as such but may add a little to the time it takes to slice. This model definitely prints :)

Tnanks for the feedback. Glad you like them :)

Which hole do you mean? The hole created that matches the "key" shouldn't go away.

@@notverygoodguy when I split the hollow model. I want the openings to stay.

@@Kommander_Rahnn Oh I see. If your model starts out hollow like in this video then you would only need to create the plane as shown in this video and do the boolean. No need to separate the inside from the outside and no need to do a boolean on the inside of the model too. If your model isn't already hollow you will need to make it hollow first. If your model is quite simple then you would just add a solidify modifier to it. If it is complex that might work or you might just hollow it out in your slicer and export the result as an stl for Blender and then cut it.

@@notverygoodguy Awesome. Thanks for your help.

Glad it was helpful!

It's hard to say what might be going wrong without being able to see the geometry of your model. Are you sure you are holding the ALT key down while selecting?

@@notverygoodguy AHHHH i see . i didnt hold the ALT ahahah. thanks for the fast reply <3

That would be quite interesting. I'll add it to my list!

Glad you like the videos :)

No problem. In edit mode select all and go ALT-N and select flip. Should swap them all around.

I have a PhD in crossing the sidewalk!

Hazzah!! I KNEW you were a man of quality! No, seriously - if you’re ever available to be a freelance voiceover, please let me know. Just a W8-BEN & W-9 exchange (for the good old taxman )after the contract agreement. I pay 48 hours upon invoice arrival

@@edge83mediallc Don't think we have them in Norway :) Flattered you'd be interested in that though :)

@@notverygoodguy Just to clarify myself, I meant I would give you -my- W-9 tax form as your client and accept your W8-BEN. Anyhow, it's all good if you're not interested. Appreciate your work!

Sadly not.

A possible reason might be if the hollow part of the model intersects with the outside so that when you try to select the inside of the model (the red part) is also selects the outside. Then when you press H to hide the vertices, they are all hidden. One thing you could do is to try this in reverse but you won't be able to use the l key to select things. If the model isn't too intricate you could use the circle select option c and then control the size of the selection circle with your mouse scroll wheel and then paint all the outside of your model to select everything you can actually see. Then hide these with h and see what is left. If it looks like it is probably the inside of the model, select everything and delete and unhide the ones you hid before. I hope this works. Let me know.

The most likely cause of this kind of thing is if the normals on the model or the cutting tool are wrong. I suggest tuning on Face Orientation in the viewport overlays and checking these first. Let us know how it goes.

@@notverygoodguy it went well! Thanks you!

@@luciedailliet1408 Excellent news :) Thanks.

Great to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

This is most likely because of normals being incorrect. Turn on "Face orientation" and see if you have any red bits where you shouldn't. Alternatively, if you are able to post a link to your blend file I can take a look.

@@notverygoodguy Thank you, I think my comments with links are getting delete but the face orientation tip helped me. Best wishes!

@@HBComics Glad you have had progress and thanks for the feedback.

yeah me and him did it, thanks

Glad you got it to work but maybe I could have explained it better.

Thanks for the kind words :) Tinkercad is a pretty solid tool for making models and can even do some things more easily than Blender can e.g. creating things out different objects with exact measurements. However, Blender is on a different level to Tinkercad on most things. I hope the videos help you get to grips with it and thanks for the sub.

Often when something completely weird like this happens it is because of incorrect normals. Have you turned on face orientation to check you don't have any red faces where you shouldn't? If not perhaps you could provide a link to your blend file. I am always interested in seeing if versions of Blender that I may not be using yet have broken things that used to work.

@@notverygoodguy Thank you for the response - it was indeed problem with swapped faces. The one between the beginning and the end was swapped, plus the shape is more complicated, and during extrusions vertices were cloned in place for some reason, leading to some wonky shapes and hidden swapped faces. BUT anyway, thank you again for your response, my experience in Blender is close to zero, and your tutorials help a lot!

@@czokalapik Very glad to hear you have the issues sorted now and I'm pleased the video have been helpful for you. Thanks for the feedback.

This should work with both FDM and resin printing though of course for the hollowed out part it is a little more difficult to add supports in an FDM printer slicer. I would suggest turning on face orientation and then looking insider and outside your model to make sure the normals are correct. I have a video on what normals are all about on the channel too if you are interested.

@@notverygoodguy Thanks a lot for the rapid answer. And yes, there were problems with the Faces. Now everything works great.The tree in Vase mode needs 1h29m, that´s crazy fast ... but with Solidify at 0,2mm the normal print mode needs 1h 44m. Works like a dream. Before i hollowed the Tree with boolean tool and a slighter smaller copy from the tree..... ... but with solidify it is easy and works for me. Thanks a lot ... Somebody must invent a printer that someone can place two Models on the print bed and one model will print in Vase Mod and the other Model in normal print mode--parallel. That would be great

@@Container-11 You can already do one model in vase mode and another in normal print mode you just have to have a printer with two extruders and make sure one extruder doesn't crash into your vase mode model while it's printing given the vase mode will be quicker :) Glad you have everything sorted now!

@@notverygoodguy Yep, your right, have not thought about that ...🙃

Glad to hear it helped but just so you know I also have a video on the channel on cutting and keying a hollow model :) Maybe it would have been more useful for you.

When you mention a texture are you expecting the texture to remain as a colour texture such that you might use to make skin on a human? This technique uses the texture or even better, a displacement map to adjust the vertices on a mesh in one direction according to to the brightness of the corresponding area in the image file or texture in this case. It doesn't actually apply a texture. I hope this makes sense.

@@notverygoodguy no no I mean that the procedure doesn't affect the geometry at all!

@@famisreiter4141 Do you have enough geometry in your model? You need lots of vertices. Alternatively have you tried a different texture? Lastly, if you can provide a link to your blend file, I'd be happy to take a look to see what the issue is.

Can't help it!

Sadly you can't. You can instead use the bisect tool to cut your model in half or a boolean difference with another object.

@@notverygoodguy understood. Thank you!

Very good to hear! Thanks for the feedback.

You probably have your mouse pointer hovering over a vertical edge when you click. If you make sure your mouse pointer is on a horizontal edge it should work.

Thank you for the feedback. I hope the video was useful.

Not sure what exciting thing happens in the first second but I am glad you enjoyed it :)

To be fair, this video was aimed at cutting up a model that was already hollow :)

Glad to hear it was helpful!

Thanks for the feedback! Blender is often not as complicates as it sounds :)

I have mentioned this somewhere in the comments but unless you want to do a complete rig you can end up with with bits you don't want to move anyway. That aside, it is always good to learn the relation between bone weights and vertex groups.

@@notverygoodguyyeah, might need that at a later date but this trick worked very nicely for my .obj model which may be or may not be a one off for me.

With coding now days , it should be able to auto rig, I know I had it in Hash Animation Master 10+ years ago. And one should not have to hand rig at all.

Really glad it was helpful for you and thanks for the feedback.

As I use UV's only rarely and also rather basically I have not dug any deeper into the behaviour. It is the way of things or I am doing something wrong :) Seems to work though.

Perhaps you could describe the problem you are having in more detail.

"Helpful" is where I aim. Next time I'll see if I can add a car chase or two to fix "boring".

Good to hear it was useful for you!

What do you want to quit?

Glad to here this was helpful!

Very glad to hear that and thanks for the feedback.

Are you able to provide more details. I'm not sure if your problem is with the "cutting" tool or with the second half of your model.

I figured out I have manifold edges so the Boolean won’t work. Thanks for the help!

Very glad to hear this was helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
