HI, i have a problem, When i copy modifier from one cylinder to other. the loops on 1st cylinder disappear and now matter how many option i click i cannot find them. i can only see the loops on 1 cylinder at a time.any solution to that?

Before you criticize, I have analyzed and I realize I must topologize, harmonize and optimize my compromised and almost unrecognizable font.

❤💯 Just awesome. Thank you

if your clean-up : merge by distance command didn't do anything to the pointiness...go back to the step at 2:18 and type in 0 after 'S' - don't just do it by eye (like I did the first 6 tries...LOL)

Amazing. Incredibly useful tutorial. Sir u changed my life.

Man's a genius

I feel enriched and for that I'm grateful. Vital modelling skills being taught here and what a terrific instructor.

This is exactly what I've been trying to figure out how to do, and a supremely helpful presentation of the topic. I can't believe more tutorials don't use this and I hadn't heard of it before!

I have a similar issue, I had a logo that I converted into an svg format using inkscape and imported that file into blender and then converted it to curve then to mesh but the resulting mesh has a very dense geometry, which I just filled with 'F' and then extruded to give it some thickness but now beveling is a problem as it has some tight corners where bevel can be as big as I want.

It makes no sense that these features are hidden in addons.

I was struggling for a week or so with a car model where I wanted to create shapes like you did with the loop tools. This tutorial helped me a lot, now I understand, how this tool works and it has great potential...thank you!

Hey, @ianmcglasham Hope you are sound and well. I revisit your videos all the time. I hope you can come back with more some day.

you have no idea how helpful this is, thank you so much dude

thank you so much that was so easy to understand and such a simple method

what did miss? I can't seem to bend the array correctly. Only he z axis works but the ring formed at 360 is flat. Update: Forgot to apply rotation. All good!

ok.. nice, but then i cant edit the cone's base radius un less i model it with the right dimensions from the start. is there a way to make it flexible to edit?

i can not change the rotations of my lattice is 0 and if i try to change it it is still 0

Honestly, if I was starting in Blender I wouldn’t listen to your answers either. Not because you’re wrong, but because I wouldn’t know enough to understand what makes your answer better. They’ll figure it out eventually!

this tutorial is gold, i have been using blender for so long and never knew to use loop tools curve like this, thanks Ian you rock! <3

The master is back, I have been waiting a new video for a long time!!

Now I can go back to fix my typo problem, amazing tutorial, thanks!

bloody hell... turns out, I'm not familiar with blender's native basic tools! xD Thank You soo much for this tutorial - it's gold

This is the tutorial that you avoid watching when you are learning because it looks complicated, and after watching all the others you realize that there are no shortcuts, you must do all of this to get a good topology 🥲

Man! thanks alot, been really struggling to solve this issue

Woooow! Thank you very much, wonderful video. Cheers from Spain

Thank you for your work, it made so many things click.

such a beautiful topology!

seems like the blender is very controllable in your hand [ manually thumbs up]

clear, followable, amazing tutorial!

Everyone should follow your contents first, when learning blender, ideally the default blender primitives should follow your suggestions. cheers

Absolutely wonderful Thank you

Wow. Best explanation.

in previous videos you said loopcuts around the entire mesh are bad, why is it okay here? would there be a way to avoid it?

and you know the top answer on blenderhelp was some rubbish like a boolean and the second most upvoted answer was "why" or "just do something completely different instead"

Fonts in Blender have the worst user experience ever. I love Blender, but we have to agree on that

"Relying on Booleans to model is the 3D equivalent of finger painting"

While I love all tutorial creators and I wouldn't have ever started otherwise, it's great to finally find these specific tutorials. New people won't understand how many good habits they're going to pick up and veteran hobbyist of Blender are going to have their minds exploded constantly. Addressing the community's bad habits, explaining why it's bad, and showing how to do it better. Take notes everyone, this is how you make a tutorial.

"We can get rid of this, it's rubbish" *sudden realization every 3d model you've ever made prior is rubbish* Better late than never! Thank you for these videos, they're pretty great.

so when should you use booleans?

Love your videos, this is a great help, thank you!

levels doe nothing for me to the sphere in blender 4.1. Something change?

Thank you, however I am making the cylinder to upload to a game and using the sub mod at the end sends the verts/face numbers rocketing to over 4000. How can I work round this to make it low poly please. I'm still learning :)

You are incredible . This is the best blendner tutorial I have ever seen and ive seen tham all! you work is awesome! This has been super helpful I cant wait to watch all your videos and see what else you have in store for us!!!!!

thank you for being obsessive in your craft, you are "elite" sir. thank you for sharing.

I learned a lot although I believed to be pretty good by now. It's maybe obvious but to me the most important piece of infromation was that the "unselected" mesh deforms when using the curve tool.

Ian the topology master returns! Hey Ian your hard surface models are just spectacular, but I was wondering how would you tackle something really warped and organic looking like a tree log with hundreds of scratches and dents in it? Would you use the same sort of techniques for all of the geometry or would you do more of the sculpting+normal-map baking type thing? Thank you very much for your videos they are super informative!

man the curve tool is what i was looking for for ages. I tried it a couple of times and didn't understand how it works. I thought it must be rubish...

Before you apply the screw modifiers, how do you determine the best number of steps?

Where is part one to this series?

Doesn't this basically bias the edgeflow of your cube though? It's no longer symmetric on all three axes. 🤔
