The mistake I was making was selecting the previous sketch (sketch #3) and converting it to a construction line, Instead I needed to select the seed for the mirror in sketch #4. This mistake kept me from being able to use the closed loop selection when creating the loft. I'm glad I worked through it as I was just about to give up. It was a little hard for me to fallow with his setup in that dark theme.

Thanks a lot ! Before watching your video, I didn't realize loft can be used in this way! Jack Lam from HK

Very slow 😢

once the split line is patterned, delete the face around it, use 3d sketch and convert entities to form a sketch of the split line surface. delete the surface and use surface fill and pattern 30 times. easy peasy lemon squeezy

thank you, was having trouble with closed loops until i watched this.

Thank you awesome video!

For those having trouble, make sure that after you select a close loop you make sure that the loop end points are in the same place by dragging the green points that appear onto the same location

Very useful.. thankyou 😊

Thank you sir, trimmed my hole and now I've got a smooth surface!

thanks you, love it!

Highly informative surface texture design methods on SW.

Every time I try to do this, it says the loft can't be completed because it's self-intersection. I just can't get it to work when there's an adjacent edge. Any thoughts?

cool tutorial thank u :)

Nice Job Dan - I like this technique!

Thanks for your tutorial

Thanks for this demonstration please keep producing how to make other textures.

Thanks for the excellent video. These type of video's are very rare in the KZbin.

Nice tutorial, Have been looking for vids like this.

Actually, it was quite detailfull

Awesome video mate, when can we expect the next? great work

Very good channel :-) I have a doubt, sometimes I load a FBX model, a car for example, it loads well ... with all its parts, but I can't put independent materials on each part, all the parts always catch me a single material and the same one for the whole model .. I'm a little lost with this .. sorry.

Where is the turorial2!??

I don't have add geometry, or backdrop round, do you know where else it could be?

thank you so much

Thank you for this tutorial! When is part 2?

ok I just got keyshot and I'm an ultra newb . Where can I locate the default lighting so I can move it from above my object to below my object. My object is a ceiling louvre so I need the lighting from below.

I wish I could use the example to explain it.
