Battle Sword | Blender Beginners Tutorial | Part 1

[@Johannes00]

Tried watching another beginners tutorial for swords but gave up on it, this is so much better. You're teaching shortcuts and methods that will save users tons of time in the long run. The other video I watched did everything by hand, no shortcuts, not even G or S.

[@blakehartsfield8423]

Honestly love the sound of the family in the background. That’s exactly how it would sound if I did a video too! Lol great tutorial

[@misterdashss]

This tutorial is amazing, I'm struggling to keep up with the video but I pause unpause and go back. In the end it makes me learn the shortcuts even better. Good job and thank you so much!

[@dhruvverma2000]

Man. I downloaded blender 30 mins ago and i can follow u vid as an absolute beginner 👍. Great vid 😊

[@RA3YT]

At the end, dissolving the edges on the middle of the blade, helps a lot

[@phustrinhj3068]

Your video is very helpful and detailed that even an amateur who is alienated from Blender like me can understand. Thank you very much.

[@Pippen639]

the amount of questions and all the struggles i had were all fixed in this 1 video thank you

This tutorial really helped me make a pretty epic first project! Thanks for being so detailed in your explanations

[@hansa5867]

When he says "It doesn't have to be exact". I just get this awful feeling inside xD But in all honesty, this is probably the best tutorial I've watched.

[@darkbladelp9868]

In the 3.6 version, in this part 3:17 select the round surface and then choose smooth, and then for a perfect smooth, you need to scale it in the point it doesnt cover each other verticle and then repeat it. Hope it helped.

[@eltutel2883]

this was my first ever blender tutorial

[@mauroroblox2596]

he does everything very clear, showing the shortcuts and the instructions very easy to understand. There is just one problem, this was 2 YEARS AGO so the blender version he is using is different to the one that is right now in 2022 so... this tutorial could have beeb very useful if it wasn't for the Blender version

[@BizarreDiesel]

This was closer to 1 year ago and you can still very easily follow it. I just finished my sword and it looks great.

Really Good Tutorial, step by step, very easy to catch up even for beginners. Thanks!

[@D.B.W_Games]

i do every thing you say to a t but once try putting in the bevel modifier it does nothing, any idea why?

[@swoopify2044]

So i added the bevel modifier to the guard thingy, but it doesn't have any effect? I have selected it and I did everything you did, and the bevel mod worked earlier but now it doesn't change anything. The other modifiers work on the hilt, just not bevel.

[@DylanNeuschwanderComposer]

This is a fantastic tutorial!!! So helpful!

[@mr.detonation1665]

Hey I tried to do the loop select but does not seem to be working I click on the line and nothing happens anyone knows why ?? at 13:21

[@hugebuffman3619]

super simple and quick tutorial, loved it!

[@aysencankat2314]

Thank you very much. It is very helpfull

[@WhiskeyMate]

My bevel modifier doesn't seem to change anything at all, following along exactly as the video suggests.

[@ca_sr1x_hz835]

same

[@tevildo9383]

I had this problem too. For anyone else struggling, try toggling “clamp overlap” in the Geometry section of the Bevel modifier. Also try merging some vertices.

[@Mus1995]

thank you so much for this amazing tutorial you have wonderful way in explain and how to use shortcuts i am really get much information and you deserve all support wish you arrived to million and good luck great job

[@Fettman89]

Hey when I try scaling the face for the cross guard like at 6:55 it scales only the face smaller and doesn't make it taper like yours. I'm using the newest version of blender, have the mirror modifier set up like yours, and haven't applied it this point.

[@jassaic_the_psychotic5193]

same for me i cant seem to figure out how to get more than just one face to move

[@vapex.]

Tipp: Instead of duplicating 25 times use the array modifier, saves you a lot of time

[@o1dfg936]

It is amazing! Thank you so much my friend!

[@cpokhrel100]

hey! sorry but- when I add the modifier it does not mirror it? like I did what u said in the video 3 times.

[@maximumdinosaur]

I have the same exact problem! Did you find a solution?

[@bobjo1006]

im stuck at 2:25 how the heck do you do that without selecting the whole thing? its a pain in the butt cause my brain doesnt understand crap

[@izzxix9703]

Great teacher , u r intelligent , thanks a lot

Did you ever figure it out? I'm having the exact same problem now.

[@kingjoker3793]

@@stannisbaratheon6725 nope sadly

[@tevildo9383]

Did you try toggling the “Clamp Overlap” option in the Geometry tab of the Bevel modifier? That worked for me.

[@ulascan5660]

Thanks for the tutorial, it was really helpful.

[@DhyanBhat]

Wow super bro

[@Ирония-ж4ш]

Hi, thanks for such a great tutorial and your comments, it's a really nice way to teach people. Only one problem I want ask about: when I add "Bevel" modifier nothing happens. At all. Even when I modify adjustments, like Angle. or Amount, or Segments. Do you know, how it fix? What's wrong? I did 3 times from beginning, but there is the same problem.

[@primeapple8091]

Actually, You see the amount bar,right? Double click on it and you can type the measurements, then write something in "cm" Suppose 10cm, then SOME CHANGES MAY HAPPEN! ;)

[@stylishlux8795]

If you have bad topology then it will likely break as well.

[@croanna_]

This worked for me: (in edit mode) select all with A --> Mesh (top left corner) --> Merge --> By Distance. It will remove any duplicated vertices :)

[@stylishlux8795]

@@croanna_ You might also check for interior faces as well or verts that are too close to the edge you are trying to bevel, which will cause it to break.

[@springwild4436]

I had the same problem, but I found that is was mostly due to bad topology, to fix it I selected the entire shape, pressed Shift+N selected it all again, and then when to mesh > clean up > merge by distance. it worked instantly but you might need to change the area it merges.

[@Skeltcher]

How did you group all the handle leather thing into only 1 cylinder?

[@nicholasjarecki6529]

When you're finished modeling all of the parts, do you boolean them together to make them one object, or do you just use the join command to kind of glue them together? Essentially, how would you prepare this to be exported as a single sword asset instead of a collection of sword parts?

[@kalubandali2241]

Use the join function in the object menu or Cntrl J

[@alexandermattis2940]

Thx for this,helped me a lot

[@semanimesemzueira587]

I do the same thing wiht c trl b, but not work no matter i doing. In other area work normally, but where i have change with c trl not work.

[@Hyper-tumors]

Just perfect. Thanks a lot.

[@clmastergamer]

I very much enjoyed this. It was fast to be sure, but nothing the pause and 5 second reverse can't resolve. The only Issues I had were at 12:55, where It would not scale the duplicate but instead scale the entire blade. I found that duplicating it off to the side (I moved it away by about -0.8445 on the y axis) then followed the alt+s command to adjust it, before moving it back the exact distance to it's original position worked. Not sure if I messed up somewhere or not. The second issue was at 15:15, I was unable to mimic the alt+s command to reflect yours. It just mangled the whole object somehow instead. Pretty from then on The steps yielded nothing or mangled results, so I just deleted that object entirely and moved on. Same finally with 16:45 and beyond. Again with Alt+s. I'm not sure where I am going wrong, and I understand the age and/or interest of this video might have dropped since it released and such, but any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Otherwise, very great video and gave me a good idea of how to start doing my own stuff

[@KaosMaximo]

ik im kinda late but the way i found this to work is to duplicate with alt+s and then press S to scale and X to scale in the X axis that way I managed to have it like outside since right clicking and then scaling was not working for me, hope it helps!

[@MisterSketchington]

Why do you need to delete the faces? Does it cause problems with textures in the future?

[@Skeltcher]

When I mirror the cilinder the other side doesnt show up

[@kevint5224]

for some reason bevel doesnt seem to be working for me any one know why?

[@Ghost-hs4fk]

Howcome when I add a Subdivision mod it makes blender crash

[@stannisbaratheon6725]

good tutorial, just an fyi though, the habaki you added is really only seen in japanese swords. the type of sword you were modelling would generally just have a ricasso.

[@AlexDeusDaInutilidade]

i have the same problem, all i could do was: Edit Mode > Mesh > Clean Up > Merge by Distance, it helped a bit but didn't solved the problem completely :(

[@yoxxai3423]

Add it before the mirror modifier. After adding, click on the little arrow next to the camera icon in the bevel modifier and click move to first. Edit: Actually first check if the mirror modifier is enabled on the x axis, it should only be on y axis. For me it turned on by accident or maybe I forgot to turn it off idk.

@@Synthwalk you’re a lifesaver! If you add the rotation in edit mode, jump back to object mode and under ‘object’ at the top, select apply > rotation. This will set the values to 0 and then you can mirror on the Y axis.

Subdivision is not the answer to modeling. You end up with too many vertices. Not the best way to teach modeling. A few swords in your scene and your computer croaks.

[@PIXXO3D]

Ohh, really. I can tell you for a fact that even Pixar and animal logic use subdivision modelling. I know this because I have friends who have worked there as 3d generalists, plus I've worked in the industry myself.

[@lancesoumare8828]

@@PIXXO3D Great video! Learned a lot! However, while I am not sure how polygons impact performance, I noticed that when trying to import my model into games, subdivision modeling increased my poly count to impossible amounts and just removing them reduced it to a fraction of what it was previously. It looks gorgeous, but I think it may adversely impact performance. I may be wrong but I think its worth noting.

[@murorder]
