"but its your job as a weapon artist to know a bit about weapons" - i absolutly agree. i see it as a requirement to be a weapon artist. if you get the mechanical functionallity of a weapon it is easy to animate it in a game. if you have no clue how a gun operates the outcome shows!

[@dragonemperor794]

This is the most underrated video I came across , ABSOLUTELY AMAZING WORK DUDE ❤️🔥 , would love to see you do some low poly tutorials and animations too on guns

[@Tosmo]

Thanks a lot! There is more to come, and hopefully I can get to some videos on weapon animations in the future :)

You dropped this --->🏆

Hold on to it, there's more in the works

Dude I was just trying to model chamber's deadeye, and found this video, I love you

[@ColourBurstTey]

Thanks, this was nice and concise and helpful. Really liked the extra info about how you setup your blender files, really helped me. Thanks so much!

Donut on a pillow on a chair then anvil😂😂😂😂 i love how every 3d artist started with blender guru😂😂😂

[@three5iveeight]

I made a glock 17 lol

[@HolyHandGrenadeOfAntioch12]

Who did blender guru start with ???

[@thekingscrown8931]

@@HolyHandGrenadeOfAntioch12 code 37, human has breached logical dampeners. Move to detain.

[@pv8685]

yes it is crazy how many of us he got into blender with his magnificent donut tutorial!

[@fuzziau5669]

by the gods, thank you so fucking much dude. you have an amazing voice btw, PLEASE do narrative stuff because you would be amazing at it

[@PrimordialStrange]

Really Love it when artists get into the nitty-gritty stuff while explaining! Also a small doubt: The UV pack master creates great packing but it creates a lot of islands increasing vertex counts per UV island (if I am not wrong). So does that not affect anything in the game engine like performance issues? Thank you so much for the detailed video :)

[@Tosmo]

UV packmaster doesn't really unwrap for you its mainly as set of tool that help you make the most effective use of your UV grid space and check for errors. I would recommend against using any of the auto unwrapping methods that are in blender for variety of reasons.

[@PrimordialStrange]

@@Tosmo thankx for the reply. I will make sure to keep that in mind.

[@zozamex]

Great video, I'm currently struggling learning how to model guns and this video gave me motivation.

[@Tosmo]

That's great, there are more videos on my channel focused on weapon design and modeling.

[@SonofDale]

Thanks for the blender tips, I was having some trouble with flipped normals

[@zanderalberto3576]

I've just been using the blueprint overlay in blender and maybe like a gun auction website for harder details......

I laugh so hard when you say to make a donut, pillow, chair and then anvil Nice video tho~

[@NeikosOfficial]

What do you think about CAD modeling? Can I use a CAD model with ngons geometry for games?

[@Tek34]

15:12 What modifier or what ever it is are you using to cut shapes and stuff with that square? If that makes sense

[@Tosmo]

I have image of my weapon refence in my scene and just modeling on top of it using the transparent x-ray mode (ALT+Z)

[@darnassiannightsaber7835]

Even though he is not using this tool in particular during your timestamp, I think what you are referring to goes by 'Boolean'.

[@manzartes681]

What game is that at 5:20? And also, GREAT VIDEO!!! I loved it

Warhammer: Vermintide, Glad you liked the video😃

what kind of box line are in inside you modeling it is it bounding box to stop when you try to do scale large of the box size its prevent to scale under the box or it's just a cube which is kept for size maintain?

[@Tosmo]

Yes, it just a cube that I use for dimension reference, when modeling.

[@bigtips4789]

What is that texture making program? Or its blender

[@Tosmo]

Substance Painter

[@Reedgray248]

How do you do different attachments though? Do you just have to make each individually or swhat

[@Tosmo]

Yeah, the entire gun is broken down into several part including the attachments which are modeled separately.

[@LeonMc48]

I am a firearms fanatic, a certified armorer for a few different platforms, I am also a law enforcement firearms instructor. I also happen to love 3d modeling and game design. I absolutely hate when artists design weapons and their associated animations that would not logically or mechanically work in real life, or they miss certain details that are crucial to the function of the weapon; if the game is suppose to be an action / shooter. It completely ruins the experience for me and really reflects the artist's lack of attention and/or their lack of care.

[@virgo2004]

also what software is this 19:00 thankyou

[@kenchin415]

need video on attachments and skins plzz

[@astropolski]

Really great fucking video- thanks.

[@umashankara.j9520]

Hi sir what softwares did you use for textures and how did you texture sir ?

[@Tosmo]

I use substance painter for all of my texturing, and I have some videos on my channel that have tips for texturing using Substance Painter.

[@Colteal]

would there be some kind of decent tutorials based on these topic, not too advance, for beginners?

[@Tosmo]

There are lot of good weapon modeling tutorial out there. To start Chamferzone has some very good free tutorials on how to get started to create a knife and a grenade. He has newer tutorials that cover Blender as well. I have a new series of videos covering many steps of the weapon modeling process on my channel as well.

[@danwellsanddangmtb2302]

Thank you

[@Tosmo]

No problem 😀

[@warthief3401]

is it viable to design real weapons and architecture with blender and

[@Tosmo]

Blender has wide variety of implementations. Weapon design and arch vis are both possible.

[@richardackles3372]

4:58 What game is this?

[@Durcy]

I was wondering if there's any free 3D modeling softwares for beginners, and also what's the software that is used and the video? thanks, great video btw.

[@Tosmo]

Blender 3d is the software used. It is free to use, and it is one of the leading 3d software's used in games and animation now.

[@Durcy]
