5 Quick And Powerful Blender Modeling Tips To Instantly Improve Your Skills

[@darrennew8211]

I do love these 5-minute videos for experts. It's not "hidden." It's in the status bar at the very bottom. Lots of tools put dynamic keystrokes down there. Always worth looking at when you use a tool.

[@UHStudio]

Very true :)

[@dumpsky]

these are great! tip: for "fattening" also consider "Alt+S". this will scale selected faces along their individual normals.

[@arch.blender1178]

Tool tips are really helpful, they can be extra helpful when a real use case is demonstrated as well

[@UHStudio]

good point! what type of reaul use case are you suggesting?

[@pZq_]

Simpler solution to Edge Slide Clamp is just use move tool: GG and hold Alt to extend the slide. Thx for the compilation of useful techniques 🧡

[@UHStudio]

thanks for the tip! didn't know that.

[@pZq_]

@@UHStudio the same works for verts. cheers!

[@huntermaxwell5842]

thanks this is really helpful to newer modelers there are a lot of experienced ones that seem mad but this was super helpful

[@eitantal726]

Tip #0: Memorize the keyboard shortcuts and use them exclusively. 1: gg and alt lets you move outside the clamps. 2: ctrl+shift+e. 3: k then x,y,z (xx,yy,zz for local rotation) 4: alt+s

[@baptm727]

The first one is insane!

[@UHStudio]

Thanks and glad you find it useful!

[@protonprotonfix5749]

This is very useful. Appreciate your type of building the examples. Well done!

[@UHStudio]

Cheers :)

[@Betakpali]

Your videos are really great. A cool topic would be inserting buildings into a video (shots from a drone), motion tracking, camera tracking for architects in blender. Tips on how to maintain the scale of buildings in a given video, or how to insert an object into a video where the object is behind a fence.

[@UHStudio]

Thanks for the suggestion, but camera tracking and video VFX are note my areas of expertise.

[@FatPaps]

The edge sliding at the start is absolutely useful!! Without this video I would never of known! I wander why such a useful mechanic was so hidden lol

[@Pectronix]

In the first tip you can just select its edge and click g then double click z and you will be able to increase or dercrease in its direction.

[@zRedPlays]

Damn I needed that outwards edge slide on my last project, I managed to get it done but knowing that before would've been much easier

[@UHStudio]

Yes some of these are crazy that they feel so hidden!

[@chrissoprano5360]

Very helpful.Thank you so much.

[@UHStudio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@NEERAJKUMAR-iy9kn]

Wow, thanks man 👍👍👍

[@joshhockey9]

It does actually tell you how to toggle clamp in the tool properties, you just have to be looking while actively using the tool. The moment you clicked on that pin it gives the exact same information as if you pressed GG or used the context menu Overall pretty useful video for beginners. I don't know how popular this kind of video is, but bite sized tool insights & workflow tips are never a bad thing.

[@UHStudio]

Thanks for the feedback :)

[@Arthur_Vilarinho]

I’m a early subscriber!! Love your tutorials!!

[@UHStudio]

thanks so much!

[@StevenWhite-w6p]

You can just hold the alt key to slide in the direction past the resting position.

[@BGStNickBG]

One of the most valuable videos out there. Thank you!

[@UHStudio]

Cheers :)

[@BGStNickBG]

Cheers mate, be blessed!

[@BGStNickBG]

I will be honest, I was on my way to quit blender exploring and learning, because I was stuck without any improvement. Then your video and great explanation opened my eyes for many things and made life easier. I will be grateful for this forever!

[@michelleh1464]

exactly what i was looking for with the extrude slide edge

[@cekuhnen]

HUGS to you ! the GG pick axis and then press C for clamp man !!! AMAZING !!!

[@MaarChokoj]

Thank you for this useful tutorial. Definitely learned a lot from it. Appreciate you!!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@UHStudio]

Cheers!

[@vatablue]

Very useful

[@UHStudio]

Glad you think so!

[@mrgrizzle17]

Very simple and helpfull thank you!

[@UHStudio]

Cheers :)

[@ravender730]

Can you make a video about angles and degrees? And how to give an edge a specific lenght with typing?

[@UHStudio]

Sure! Great suggestions.

[@markuszeller_official]

0:50 Also, when you use gg to slide, then you see on top if (C)lamping is turned on or off. Just look in your video :)

[@UHStudio]

Yes thank you :)

[@jamesriley5057]

Thank you. I use blender 50 hours a week. Sub'd

[@UHStudio]

Nice! What do you? Have you joined the discord yet?

[@outlinerx]

The way you discribe this is cool

[@UHStudio]

Thanks :)

[@yarsk2937]

if you want to slide edge like at first tip you can also just press alt

[@yarsk2937]

also for more fast transformations by normal you can press twise z/x/y

[@lexmaun69]

How do you show that outline when modeling? like that wireframe sir?

[@UHStudio]

In the viewport header, top right, the two overlapping circles icon for Overlays, click the arrow to open the menu and near the middle there should be an option to enable Wirefeame

[@anishk5572]

Hello, can you please tell how does your viewport look like that? All outlines and things look so clear and different

[@UHStudio]

I am using material preview, so baiscally eevee, have wireframe on, use a sun light and a more reflective ground surface so it creates this type gradient effect. As for the material for the geometry, it's just teh default one. Hope this helps. Thing may also be a bit different now in 4.2 with Eevee Next, which is a new version of Eevee.

[@bbrother92]

Do arch guys use blender in studios? Max have a lot of 3d models and plugis so its hard to switch

[@UHStudio]

Some do. Less than max, but more and more are adopting Blender.

[@damkrat9665]

wow so cool

[@TheRealDangerFrank]

for the the one you can just hold alt

[@UHStudio]

do you mean GG and then alt as @pZq suggested?

[@Barcikowy]

4:17 its doesnt works. Z is cutting through.

[@binodkavali]

It's not a bug, It's a features.

[@commieprohibition5429]

Dude, you can blink you know.

[@UHStudio]

😉😉

[@babkinalex92]

god bless you

[@UHStudio]

cheers :)

[@bbrother92]

C button does not work

[@neilmarshall5087]

No mention of inset then holding Ctrl down...... Extrude and scale together! Keep releasing and pressing the Ctrl while the inset is still active and you are moving the cursor up / down ........ to learn the tool.

[@UHStudio]

Thanks for the tips. Any more?

[@neilmarshall5087]

@@UHStudio Sure - Taking 5 months to respond to comment seems insulting to us viewers. Try cutting that down a bit. Have a nice day.

[@Atomic-toons00]

bro plz just blink wtf😢
