Hi. I just found your channel. Its excellent quality tutorials. Do you plan on creating discord server with weekly/monthly challenges or something? or do you recommend discord server to join? Also I think you should promote your social media accounts better in the videos, to help you grow larger in youtube. Or ask people to use the notification feature of youtube so they can find your videos faster. =)

I am creating 3d models to insert into Flight Simulator. I like to do interiors of buildings eg. hangars and find it troublesome when faces are going the wrong direction and appear transparent. So interior walls need to face inwards and outer walls out, both with different materials. Solidify works well but I get problems after I create an arc, then turn it to mesh and extrude, then when I solidify the copy of slightly out of line.

I am trying to 3d print a car model. I got a stl from a friend, but that is not a model ment for printing, it is imported from rfactor game. I tried to slice it and print but I failed because the walls were too thin. Now I am trying to divide the model into smaller parts to print separately and glue together. Main problem is you are too fast. I am reviewing key moments several times to guess what you pressed, say to get directions of normals... I do what you do and there are options missing... Perhaps I need to start from very beginning, not from this video...

Great video, CG - thanks. Don't forget you need to be in Object mode - and not Edit - for the Solidify Modifier to be Applied, as the APPLY option only turns on in Object mode. Took me a while to realise that - and, yes, I am an inexperienced learner! Cheers - Dai.

Solidify is not work properly with rectangular object. How can I fix this issue
@Chimel31 Жыл бұрын
Solidify's thickness seems to be buggy: For instance, if you set a 0.5 m thickness on the default 2-meter size cube or cylinder, it works fine and display a 1 m hollow. But if you change the XYZ dimensions of the object to 1 m, the 0.5 m thickness on both sides should close the gap, but it looks more like a .25 m thickness. You need to set up a thickness of 1 m on a 1 m wide object to close the gap. As if solidify works only assuming a default 2 meter object size, not the user-defined size. Even weirder things happen if you set up units in millimeters and try a 30 mm thickness on a 300 mm cube, even one hollowed out with only 4 faces left, to remove all possibilities of errors (I read that solidify does not work well on more than 2 adjacent faces). But I am new to Blender, maybe I am doing things wrong.

Make sure you've applied your rotation and scale to your model before trying to use the modifier
@Chimel31 Жыл бұрын
@@TheCGEssentials It was the scale indeed, thanks. I found out on my own at the same time reading more information about these basic scale and dimensions concepts. I have a hard time understanding why a solidify thickness in metric units does not apply to the object's XYZ dimensions, also in metric units, but on the scale of the object. Remembering that the scale is not the size of a cube but the size of a virtual box around the cube is confusing for such simple geometric volumes where scale and dimensions are identical (at first, before any transform). I model physical objects of specific dimensions, so I need to enter these dimensions every time, which messes up the scale that I need to re-apply every single time for the tools to work as expected. This is quite fastidious and frustrating, so I am probably not using the proper Blender workflow. I wish there was a way to lock the scale during modeling, instead of resetting it manually before every edit... Thankfully it's a simple project: I am building a vegetalized wall, with 26 cm cubes of light concrete, molding 4x4 cubes together as a 52 kg cinder block so there's only 31 blocks to lay out altogether on the foundations, a quick job. The cubes have a L12xH6 cm slot on top center for the plants to grow out, one slot every other cube on both the alley side and the garden side alternatively. Holes for drip watering too. I'll use the full wall render for the building permit.
