This. Bridge tool definitely helped me fix some modeling problems for me in my Maya class

[@TheToneBender]

I just had the biggest "Oh... that's such a smart way of doing it" moment! It was 2:05 Not sure if it'll work in blender though. I'll try it. Edit: You can! I'll still need to work out the kinks of how to do it (so far it only cuts 1 side, even after pressing z), but it totally works!

Awesome!

as always, very good job! I just installed substance painter and im trying to acchieve the same effect of shading you do. Can you show us a breakdown of how you did it in a future video? // Just saw the description :D

[@mizumono3720]

Can anyone explain to me how he is doing what he is doing at 2:09 to 2:12??? I've used the multi-cut tool and made my shape, but how does he then separate it from the other parts, make it its own object, and then bring back the original piece. Now making them separate meshes. I've very confused :S

[@3dextrude]

I duplicated the model and deleted the parts that weren't needed.

[@mizumono3720]

@@3dextrude Ah, thankyou for replying so fast, do you keep each part separate or once you've done building the model, do you combine it all as 1 mesh?

[@3dextrude]

[@3dextrude]

By masking that out, you can mask by geometry in Painter.

[@anand0pushpan]

Hey there, amazing work you did there, but I have a question for you, I hope you could assist me with that> How did you made the lines without affecting the original cylindrical shape at 2:12. i mean after extruding those face, how did they created as different object than the cylindrical shape?

[@3dextrude]

I duplicated the original and made those on the copy, it's a duplicated object.

[@anand0pushpan]

Excuse me, but can I know the name of the music that starts in 1:07 ? The one in the descriptions are incorrect.

[@pinokio514]

Hi. Why you using Height Map, but not Normal Map for scratches (7:00) ? Thanks.

[@3dextrude]

the height channel in Substance Painter behaves almost like a normal map so when you export your texture those details will be in the normal map.

[@daante07]

you are the best dude

[@lawrencelawine9082]

Really cool looking axe! If you would have to do this axe again, would you put a ZBrush task in between the maya and substance workflow to get the carved in details and maybe more details in general for example the curvature map?

[@3dextrude]

Yeah, I would spend a little more time adding details in zbrush for a nicer final result.

[@chrollolucifer8621]

you'r just amazing !

[@3dextrude]

Thank you! Also, nice name.

[@jorgekinsella]

Hello, i have a question, in the sec 2:18 you pick the faces and then you hide the axe or somethine and then you have a new poligon, separate completely from the axe, how you do that ? i love your models btw

[@3dextrude]

I duplicated the original model and deleted the faces I didn't need in that new model.

What did you switch to at 2:58? I'm a novice to maya so i barely know things on it, but ive never seen that in it at 2:58. Also thanks for some of the lessons you showed us and the great content as well!

[@3dextrude]

That's a different software, it's Substance Painter and it's used for texturing. Id you are a modeling novice I recommend focusing on modeling first and later on texturing once you are a more confident modeler.

[@Kcimor78]

These things are simple, but the texturing make it pop. I can model stuff like this, easily, but i cant texture, and so i never finished anything xD Only some tutorials... i actually did a tutorial for a game character, a simple robot, modeling, texturing and animation for death, movement and attack... i womder if that still availiable in vimeo, i did that in 2012 or 2013. Recently i just model stuff that, basically, i cant model, i just try it to see if i could do it, and, i think, not worth modeling easy stuff, cuz that wont make you better. But when your good and you actually finish your stuff, like you do, with proper texturing, just (i imagine) makes it rewarding to do even simple stuff, cuz they end up looking awesome. Those normal map texturing details looks awesome!! Do you work as 3D artist? since you have maya and post videos on youtube i have to assume a non pirated version xD So professional for sure xD If it was in blender, then yeah, could be hobby, many hobby modelers.

[@3dextrude]

Making simple things is fun because you can finish things very quickly and don't need to comit too much time. I try to make things that can be made in less than an hour for these videos. You can definitively get better by making simple things, or at least you will get faster at modeling. Yes, I work in the gaming industry; not ready to reveal where just yet.

Quick question: How did you make the wood depth at 3.30? Did you use a normal wood texture? If yes how did you get just the heights of it? Did you use just its heightmap?

Thanks for the video! I’m gonna use this in school projects I get the chance. I just have one question, how did you get to the screen on 2:58? I read the comments that you used a different software. If so, what software did you use so that I may be able to do so in my school projects?

Substance Painter

[@kevinsvlog4381]

3dEx if it’s in Maya, can you tell me what tab it’s under so I know where to click please, thank you so much!

[@3dextrude]

Its a different software not part of Maya.

[@kevinsvlog4381]

3dEx so is Substance Painter the software name? Or is it something else?

[@TriggeredUnited]

How did you make the high poly for this one? Did you just bevel and edges and add divisions in Maya or did you zBrush subdivide it?

[@3dextrude]

Beveled the edges in Maya and used that as the high poly. I didn't want to add that many extra details so didn't use Zbrush for this.

Love it, every single model! aaaah! so beautiful and simple. Its something i really struggle with... i usually get more complex than it needs to be... anyways Can i ask u something? :B where do u make the final render? i have the feeling its marmoset toolbag but i cant tell.

[@3dextrude]

There are many cases for complex, but it doesn't have to if not needed. It's Marmoset Toolbag.

[@yosofya]

i always struggle with curvature map .. when i export maya mesh to Substance and apply Edge wear it gets messy and thats because i don't have curvature map. any ideas how i can get around that ?

[@3dextrude]

Make sure you bake a curvature map, you can increase or decrease the hardness of the curvature map in the baker settings . You can also set it to ignore seams as well. Hope that helps

[@IneptOrange]

Does Blender have this? The texturing that is.

[@3dextrude]

I think you can texture in Blender as well, I don't know how good it is because I haven't used it.

[@Fingeroo]

This video uses Substance Painter for texturing, not Maya.

[@Fingeroo]

3dEx You should have known that and answered correctly, unless of course you're trying to make Maya look better than it is, or you stole this video.

[@IneptOrange]

@@Fingeroo It seems like an absurd idea that he would have stolen this video. Personally, it doesn't matter to me whether or not it's good or not, I just need it as assistance for texturing as I have absolutely no idea how to map anything to a 3D model.

@@Fingeroo considering that the question was "does blender have [this texturing]" i would imagine "I think you can, I don't know" is a pretty reasonable answer. Wtf lol

[@tomgarden]

Hey 3D ex, do you have to uv these low polys before bringing them into brush or substance? From most of your vids I see no uvs being made. Thanks

[@3dextrude]

You have to UV the one you bring into Substance Painter, the zbrush one you don't need to UV because that will be your high poly.

[@tomgarden]

@@3dextrude so if you're making low poly assets, you'll have to uv them, but if you don't need to worry about poly count, you can just bring it into zvrush, sub divide a couple of times , make some tweaks then bring into substance and no need for uv?

[@3dextrude]

You still need UVs to texture in Susbtance Painter.

I am a graphics designer, and a CS student, you say it took 35 minutes , how much time would it take me to learn this software's all basics, one thing i have learnt is that being jack of all trades is not worth it but i really think learning 3d will enhance my graphics skills, should i learn it or not, i am a super fast learner and i think i can learn it pretty fast provided it isn't too rocket science stuff, i learnt Photoshop in two days, previously i have tried 3d and i think it isn't too complex if you get to know how to navigate

[@3dextrude]

I doesn't it hurt to learn it, I can't say how long it will take you to learn it since it depends on the person. It took me a few months to feel comfortable just modeling and a few more months for uvs, sculpting and textures.

[@vatsalchauhan2173]

Hey man I love your videos. I am a 16 year old and interested in the gaming industry,I mean that's where I want to have my career. So is it worth it can an artist make enough money? And what do I need to get a job in some of the well known companies? I hope u answer

[@3dextrude]

It depends on how much money you want to make. Salaries vary depending on location and also your specialty. In gaming there are typically three specialties for art, you can be a concept artist, a 3d character artist( only do characters), or an environment artist( only do worlds). There are generalist jobs too( people who can do it all), but there aren't that many jobs in that and ususally these are open to senior level artists not newbies. So first, you need to pick a specialty and get as good as you can in that. Is is worth it? Again, it depends; you should be aware that working in gaming is not usually a secure job, studios close all the time and layoffs also happen often in most studios, including the big studios. To get a job at a well known company you need to have a strong portfolio, this is by far the most important thing; other things these companies consider are: your experience level, conmections( if you know someone in the company), where you live( some companies prefer people who live nearby so they don't have to go through relocation which many people expect the company to pay for). Typically mobile game companies are more open to hiring recent grads so that's something to keep in mind too.

[@vatsalchauhan2173]

3dEx so would you recommend me to make a career in this industry or should I do something else .. I have learnt modelling in the past two years or so ... Not characters but assets .. Also I live here in India so I really don't know whether I should go ahead..

[@3dextrude]

Are there gaming studios in India? If not you will probably have to work freelance or your own game which I don't have experience in so I can't advise on that. Otherwise you will need to move to a country that has gaming studios like the USA. The industry is also very competitive so simply being in the USA doesn't mean you will find a job, since you still need to be very good at it too. I don't know what job industries are good in India so you will have to do more research on the subject. If I were you I would look online and find 3d artists from India or who live in India and ask them what its like and if there are jobs.
