[@SuperLongfield]

Every six months or so I pop up on your KZbin channel, I try one of your 20-min. hard-ops tutorials and all of sudden my modelling skills take a giant leap... Thanks for sharing all this

[@JoshGambrell]

Happy to help!!

[@beaustine6093]

That delete the faces so you can maintain topology trick was a game changer. Thank you for this tutorial! :) So many other great tips as well.

[@kevinpage]

Thank you! Another little Proportinal Editing tip is hold Shift while scrolling to get an even finer adjustment on the circle (just as you can in other functions, moving, scaling, dragging within editable attribute fields, etc.)

[@maximlukin2745]

Wow! Great technique showed in the end of the video. Thank you👍

[@BillGeorge-x6q]

Wow! Very cool! I'm a total newb to blender and this is fantastic. Thank you so much.

[@choud-cc]

i've only watched a few of your videos but man, it has improved my workflow 1000 times. Excellent Content man! def subscribed :)

[@JoshGambrell]

Thanks a lot bro. Happy to help :)

[@NeilMyatt]

8:32 surely mirror modifier should be at the top of the stack, before SubD? I know you didn’t use mirror here, but it’s such a common feature of hard surface modelling that it’s worth mentioning

[@AyushB3D]

Ive just made a naked superbike fuel tank following along with the tutorial. Thanks Josh. Shit was impossible for me 20 minutes ago but now itss a lot possible.

[@pabloarduino2687]

Awesome vid Josh! Very educational, right to the chase. Subscribed.

[@BestMods168]

Thank you for this tutorial. I am now able to better control the edge flow of my models. I was using extra edge loops before to get that sharp edge and finalizing the shape after applying the multi res.

[@toddspeck9415]

So awesome. Thanks for showing this method. Always amazed at your Blender skills.

[@JoshGambrell]

Cheers Todd!

[@chriz9959]

adapted this to widekit modeling. thx, its really helpful

[@tim_arterbury]

Thank you so much for your tutorials! I always felt so in the dark about how to model this kind of stuff in Blender, but now I’m slowly getting the hang of it. Thank you again!

[@cashtonbriggs2135]

Thanks Josh. This video was so helpful. Except now, I have to destroy the seats in my curremt project (for the 3rd time) and do them correctly😁. Pleasure to watch as always. 👍

[@김정민-n4j]

GREAT as always!

[@asterixus]

What settings do you recommend for your Viewport Shding? Studio or MatCap Lightning? Cavity Screen or Both? I would highly appreciate it, thanks for reading this!

[@ezequi889]

how u do that symmetry stuff, its really usefull and timesaver

[@mrnevermind]

Inspirational! I alway get stuck in the beginning to get a starting object going. I just realized I was so stuck in a box with non destructive approach, I’m always left with some what interesting looking box with no way to extending it. I love the flow feeling I get to start with this approach. Absolutely subbing Thank you. Not sure any of you coming from gravity sketch background but this makes more sense to me then starting with a box and Boolean ops

[@RichellyItalo]

Thank you. I need it.

[@fedeg91]

Hi Josh, I really appreciate your helpfuls tutorials !! I have a question . After that the faces where deleted and the subdivision modified was enabled .. how did you get the vertex edit ? ( Like in Nurbs mode )

[@sameeruddin]

I was trying this out with nurbs but this is very cool.. Proportional editing

[@rvr_axyz]

this is lowkey the mouse tutorial I was looking for

[@bizentino]

Wow, good promotional video.

[@vladisslave.7500]

Thank you very much for the video !

[@artinrad8213]

Thx

[@DRSulik]

How did you select all those faces? Key shorts?

[@velstorios9473]

2 days ago I saw that nurbs modeling is the most suitable way for curvy hard surfaces, what do you think of that?

[@JoshGambrell]

Nurbs is fantastic, and will create impeccable shading. I always recommend it in conjunction with Blender if you can!

[@velstorios9473]

@@JoshGambrell So the nurbs modeling that exists in blender is insufficient? Is that why I see people modeling such shapes with SubD modeling in blender and not nurbs?

[@TheBadBone23]

I'm curios, how would something like this look for 3d printing?

[@raz_dva7173]

How do you make game model from some organic model, do you use manual retopo or something else ? Thanks

[@revotiva]

Nice thank u

[@sebbosebbo9794]

thx for these ideas...but some things questions me hard...!? how you creat these red plane bool objects ? I have installed blender 3.4 it doesnt work.. can you show how to corect extruding some edge out to build further up the model, push in some minor details in without using all the time these proportional feature.. how you even distribute the mesh after proportional Edition ? is there some modfier like in 3dsmax or option that helps..? In blender edge extrude goes strange in wild direction..in 3dsmax its shift + mouse clicks..and it works fine..not 4 5 clicks and it goes even wild... p.s. have blender edit poly modifier for non destructiv workflow or is this G.node able or have a non destructiv workflow .. sry Im new to blender..also missing or cant find edge groups to save some crease bevel or smooth groups without selecting all the time again edges... extrude manifold is also strange like this bevel you tryed with these wierd artifacts... blender is really hard to learn the manuel is so short .. helps not really ...

[@김정민-n4j]

You only used offset cut on the first boolean you made. Can you also use offset cut on the other two boolenas you have made in the video? I am asking because I can't do the second and further offset cuts.

[@Spuki2k]

Is the separation/slash procedure a good way for adding paneling?

[@CosplayZine]

There's a addon called "just paneling" that might be of interest to you. It's not free but looks like it has a lot of features if you want to check it out.

[@StormBlessedxo]

i don't have any of the black vertices 00:58 I know I'm only a minute in and I am already lost but I would love to be able to practice this stuff to get more creative. Any tips are much appreciated.

[@minotaursgamezone]

I know you probably have this figured out eight months later but make sure you are in vertex selection mode with 1

[@starlord627]

Why that default cube looking smooth??

[@unicornrainbows8612]

Not sure, but what I did was add a cube then added a bevel with 0.04 offset, 12 segments and it looks pretty similar to his. The one exception is that in his cube he had only the vertical edges beveled while mine would have all edges beveled. Fixable by scaling the cube on the Z axis so that the boolean looks like his (if that makes sense).

[@RhinoTimelaps]

I think its easier use CAD. Boolean etc.

[@BookooZenny]

The issue with your audio sounds like a sample rate disparity between devices, but I can't be sure

[@JoshGambrell]

I think i fixed it, wrong port

[@silentchannel7186]

I did your instructions until 1:16 pefectly but it gave me tons of vertices instead of just similar to you, few.

[@silentchannel7186]

How do I do that?

[@tudoravramescu1783]

Hello 👋

[@BlenderKnowledge]

I didn't know that I could just focus on making the shape of the mesh instead of putting all my efforts into making a perfect quad-based mesh.

[@3dguy839]

I tend to struggle with eating late at night Possibly because I struggle With subs Causing anxiety Thus leading to eating

[@mpod_creative]

You proceed to Box cutter like its common part in blender, while it's paid add-on 🤨

[@traditur_]

A few mowed lawns or commissioned models is no time at all compared to how much time that addon will save you.

[@daxramdac7194]

Bro the add on costs about as much as dinner for 2 come on

[@nealdavidson9883]

And there is a bundle version with box cutter and hard ops for around 40 usd.

[@WillFalcon]

BOOLEAN CLEANUP freezes my computer completely

[@JoshGambrell]

Mm, cant help you with that one, try contacting machin3

[@WillFalcon]

@@JoshGambrell I know, but this is useless - it says "experimental will not support" Anyway, moving thousands of verticies is always pain in the ass... I hate hardsurface for 20 years

[@JoshGambrell]

@@WillFalcon I have zero issues. Make sure you're up to date with Blender / Mesh Machine. Otherwise, do a fresh install of Blender (uninstall and terminate files, ryuu has a tutorial on purging Blender)

[@varunverma95]

Josh please check your email. I have a query regarding the Game Asset 2.0 course

[@JoshGambrell]

Has it been replied to? I don't see any missed messages. Ryuu probably took care of it

[@strawheart6]

I thought he was doing a mouse cover

[@emiliorios8799]

Would much rather see a real world example instead of random shapes. Maybe like modeling an Xbox 360 or something curvy in the real world. Or a mouse

[@JoshGambrell]

I don’t create items that already exist. Not the way I work personally.

[@alessandroconstantini5941]

or watch someone else

[@DeMoNELectro]

i'm not gonna watch you're channel anymore becaus of addons are not free its very hard to follow
