Sir I got the track for hard surface modelling I mentioned you on instagram thank you much....

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Thank you everybody for your support! We're always looking for feedback, so if you get it on Blender Market or Gumroad, feel free to ping us and let us know whether you liked it or not! :) Ok?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

@Abdul Mtoro III so far so good :)

[@jonduke4748]

If my modeling issues looked this cool, I'd never fix them!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

That's a tricky point, because personally I enjoy creating glitches too, almost to the point where it would be heretic to fix them. Glitches are like a dark side of modeling and i gravitate there.

[@MN3DAuto]

Same with me

[@cgboost]

Awesome Glab and Aidy, looks amazing and super valuable! Good luck with it! 👏👏👏

[@GlebAlexandrov]

we'll need this extra morale when overthrowing the Horned Topology Demon for sure, that is so true

[@AidyBurrows3D]

Thanks Zach! Keep up with the modeling demon slaying too, they are surprisingly numerous, but we will banish them all eventually! :)

[@sanjaipandey5315]

I know you

[@activemotionpictures]

I had to take my med from 1:00 - 2:30 - Yes, pain points indeed. Thank you for bringing such an amazing video for everyone! Great work!!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

the process of taming wild topology aberrations is often ironically called the mesh-doctor work, and i think, for a good reason. the pain points indeed, you're on point!

[@IshBosamiya]

The duo is back!

[@AidyBurrows3D]

Back and this time we're chopping down hellish modeling demons, or could be described as a mesh doctor session, giving these glitches the stitches. :)

Those visuals are great

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Thank you Andrew!

[@ChippWalters]

Looks great! Much needed 👍

[@AidyBurrows3D]

Thanks Chipp! We banished those pesky modeling demons to the pits of hell, sealed them up, labelled them 'do not open', that should give us a breather at least for a little while. :)

[@Sidrenders]

FINALLY THANKS 💕

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Let's squash all the hellish modeling bugs!

[@AidyBurrows3D]

WOO! Let's do this thang!!! :)

[@RenderRides]

Ayy good to see you here Sid!

[@PietroChiovaro]

I suffered watching some of the issues, I think is a great course that could help people to understand how to create models in the proper way, avoiding these issues.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

from the 3ds max era to this very moment, i've been stumbling across these topology quirks and will keep stumbling, i feel. it's some kind of a never ending story

[@PietroChiovaro]

@@GlebAlexandrov Call me crazy, but I enjoy to fix this kind of things, is like a crossword puzzle, you have to find the right way to fix it, even though sometimes is better to recreate the entire model

[@AidyBurrows3D]

@@PietroChiovaro you are so right!!! Much fun can be had with the topology side of it for sure. :)

[@def_not_dan]

I'm more interested in causing the glitches than fixing them. Should be a fun course.

Надеюсь много полезного щас узнаю)) Спасибо Глеб аж за 50 ситуаций!

[@GlebAlexandrov]

You're welcome Star Niko, actually there are more than 80 modeling problems & solutions right off the start!

[@ullaskunder]

Sir from 2 days I was working on hard surface model robo head...when I tried some kit bash and machinetool it's just hang my hole system I got frustrated and just deleted the blender 2.82, and blender 2.80

[@GlebAlexandrov]

i can totally relate to it, 3d modeling can be such a pain.

[@Scarlov87]

The only thing I couldn't find is the "wish list" button on gumroad :( but I wish this so mad! :D thanks Gleb, I have learn a lor from you :)

[@AndyEngelkemier]

I would Love to see one for translating complex CAD models. One common issue, for instance, is the fillets are modeled in, and the vertices at those edges aren't joined. As soon as you merge by distance, your normals are Terrible. I've tried seemingly everything, and all I can do is make it Better, but never seem to fix it. So how to fix things like that, and when to just remodel a piece. Often times, something like a straight extrusion, it's easier to just delete 90% of it, and extrude in blender. I was sad, I had it work great once, so now have a script that runs through every mesh object in the scene and does a merge by distance, then switches to smooth shade and autosmooth normals with the angle you set. But on the current project I'm working on I found that it actually wasn't working quite right and you can still see normal issues. Any animators working with engineers or industrial designers would likely appreciate something around that. That would Also allow blender users to more effectively use GrabCAD for a bunch of free models.

[@holdmypen9308]

do you cover bugs with addons like Hard Ops, BoxCutter and Decal Machine in these Videos?

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Kevin, no and yes. No, because we used the vanilla Blender 2.83 (and 2.82) with only the built-in addons. Yes, because Hard Ops and Box Cutter work within the standard poly-modeling paradigm of Blender and thus their glitches are just good old topology glitches - and we covered it extensively. Does it make sense?

[@notAGreatGamer1]

I am oomphed for this.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

You should be, Siddhant! :D

[@chookaiminbryan7315]

I have never really used boolean due to the bad topology ! I do see some use in some situations, but I cant find myself to use it. Could anyone educate me why I should include it to my workflow ?

[@mega_jc]

For certain parts of hard surface modeling, boolean operations are indispensable, since they can be an incredible time-saver, especially for carving or engraving meshes unto other meshes. Some blender addons like Boxcutter specialize in optimizing boolean-based workflows for hard surface modeling, and many boolean operations were involved in making the robot from Gleb and Aidy's Hard Surface Modeling course.

[@PrometheusPhamarus]

Isn´t these hellish issues often common in most 3D software, using lightwave mostly for modelling and recognize most of that as well. I can see many other things that is just of annoyance for modeling in blender vs lightwave, where it´s just more direct smoother in lightwave for those parts, and that is Specificly what I would call blender modeling hell. what is described here I feel is more, a general poly modeling hell, most may confront in most 3d packages.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Fair enough.

[@PrometheusPhamarus]

@@GlebAlexandrov There are also modeling hell in Lightwave of course, but ellaboration of that has been made all over the place, elsewhere. It hasn´t been updated for a long time and the new team have that planned in the next dev cycle though. right now they have focused on implementing more tools to layout, ProGeotools for similar stuff as geometric nodes in blender does, TurbulenceFD fluids for smoke fire is part of lightwave by defaul, and enhancements on VDB´s, unreal bridge, a fast liquid solver previously called UP, now implemented and is called flow, Rh Riggit now part of lightwave natively And octane is now part of Lightwave, but as their own to develop I think. And much more, but for modeling, very little, next cycle maybe. So under the core, blender more advanced for modeling purposes, and many of the modern tools are just not there in Lightwave. But it is still capable of delevering, and some things are just more direct to model within Lightwave I think.

[@virx7944]

Hi, would just like to ask if this course is specifically just showing a error and how to fix them, or is it lets do a hard modelling and hey here is an error encountered and this is how to fix it?

[@virx7944]

sorry if this looked like a stupid question, i didnt really understand what the table of content is trying to show

[@GlebAlexandrov]

Thanks for the question! It's the collection of videos with modelling errors and how to fix them (and some hard-surface modeling along the way), so it's 70% a) and 30% b).

Imagine a paid to win game, you buy some cool sword and fancy spells, but you still don't really know when and how best to use them. The other gamer who spent time grinding, he's still going to kick your ass. You're not missing out - you are at best saving time, buying any paid course. While the above analogy is rather tenuous I'm sure you get the point that practice and research are just if not more valid options.

If you work, you get salary right? So the other people have also the right to get a salary when they work, be human!

It's crashes because of polygon 😭😭😭😭😭

[@GlebAlexandrov]

yup, one of the most common issues indeed: "too many polygons". it's so easy to hang the system just by subdividing the model a few times.

[@ullaskunder]

@@GlebAlexandrov sir any solution

[@GlebAlexandrov]

@@ullaskunder * optimize the polycount (yea, that's a broad statement. but try reducing the number of subdivisions in the Subsurf modifier to begin with, and also Unsubdividing/Decimating some meshes). organizing your scene via collections is also a way of improving performance - you can toggle the viewport visibility on and off and keep only the things you're working on visible. * switch to the solid shading mode while modeling. disable Cavity, Shadows and other effects * if nothing helps, rethink/retopologize the meshes that are too dense for your configuration to handle

Choosing the middle of a pandemic to push your paid course, Sure we all have to get by, but the optics here are not the best are they? It's my fault though, I thought more of you two than I should have. (business is business) Hrm, maybe you are struggling, don't have enough for food like so many others not working? If that's the case let me know and I'll see if I can send you a few quid to help. Personally though - if I had anything to give out to a community of Blenders that would foster respect and appreciation and show character I know what I'd be doing.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

I understand your perspective and I'm sorry that I disappointed you in this sense. Nevertheless, we'll never stop creating free content - and thinking about monetization and free-vs-paid, it's an extremely interesting and tricky subject, I hope we'll find better solution that works for everybody at some point.

[@transmitthis]

@@GlebAlexandrov It's fine, Just me being salty about the society we have built ourselves (prob shouldn't have watched b4qKv1Ctv8) when your advertising video popped up in my feed. I've un-subbed to both of you and Aidy so I don't get annoyed about normal people doing normal things ;) Still, can't help thinking in your position and during current crisis, I'd have released it free and used a fundme campaign for recompense, which would have resulted in similar return over the longterm due to greater respect and community spirit. In any case take care and all the best.

[@tinp8028]

@Transmit This stfu. Your comment just goes to show that you are a stingy asshole who wants everything for free. This is quality content that they clearly put a lot of effort into. Why should they give it up for free? Easy to say for you that you would give it up for free. Why don't you create a course and give it for free then you cheap bastard. If you even have the capability to come up with one that is. I can't fit this course in my budget now, but I will save up and buy it at a later that, because that is how a community shows support to creators and educators. Now go fuck yourself you ungrateful bitch.

[@GlebAlexandrov]

@@transmitthis That's a good idea for sure, especially considering the fact we've already experimented with such models. :) www.creativeshrimp.com/hdr-lighting-in-blender.html - in HDR lighting course and in the 2.8 update for Hard-suraface modeling (7 hours of free content we released a few months ago, without the recompensating campaign). kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z2fJZYWtrbVspJI That being said, I believe your direction of thinking is correct, ultimately we should aim at delivering the free knowledge and tools for everyone. There are tensions in the system we're working in, but i'm sure we'll figure something out. As you've said, it could be a crodwfunding campaing, or donations, or something else we haven't yet wrapped our heads around. For now, we'll share a bunch of videos from MIFH for free, over the next few weeks. And will brainstorm how our business models may evolve in the future :)
