Awesome tutorial! Can you do a tutorial on how to model and texture Jason Voorhees's hockey mask from Friday the 13th? Keep up the good work!

[@zerobio]

Thank you. I will consider that, have a lot of projects so not sure when I will have the time but it's on my mind.

[@doctorcaracal6909]

@@zerobio No worries.

wouldn't it have been easier at the beginning to do an inset instead of making the out boards separately. Just curious because I genuinely don't know.

@@jsonwakefield6284 i do so many videos that I often forget what I did and would have to go back and think about it. So give me a while and I will get back to you on that :)

@@jsonwakefield6284 ok so insetting is a very common and easy way to create a simple crate. But if i was to do that, I'd have diagonal edges on the outer pieces which is not what I wanted. I wanted 4 outer rectangular pieces of wood with bevels on them. I would have had to straighten the diagonal edges. Even then, I wouldn't have separate pieces with all faces intact. And then to texture them would have been a bit different. So I went with this very simple method of four rectangular pieces outside with some cross pieces, all easy to model, unwrap and texture and then the inner box part. This isn't the lowest poly way however. I also wanted to show a separation of pieces whereas the inset method would not look the same even with textures on correct. You'd have to draw indents where the pieces would attach and that would require using substance painter, most likely.
