Modelling for the VFX film industry in Blender - Bevels EP1c

[@BlenderBob]

This is a remastered version. Better sound.

[@nothingnothing3211]

Hey! it's not added to the modeling playlist.

[@BlenderBob]

@@nothingnothing3211 Fixed. Thanks

[@nothingnothing3211]

@@BlenderBob Thanks to you sir! It's because of you that I've learn't to make a models with a good topology and much more. Right now I'm making a Eagle spacecraft from the blueprint you gave us. Can I share it with you on FB or discord when finished? You can guide me with topology and even texture on that. Having a hard time making it with your taught standards but I'm learning from your videos and by practicing myself. Thanks a lot again! maybe I'll be able to monetise my skills in the future. Hope it's not a very long comment for you.

[@DECODEDVFX]

Good video Bob.

[@BlenderBob]

Thanks! That's actually my third one that I remastered. :-)

[@chukwudiebite7775]

Blender Bob... Do you know what you are...?! You are a genius.

[@SrujanRaghavendra-y9h]

Blender bob you are the best.

[@franbelda1951]

I love your channel Bob! Keep it going!

[@egidioviceconte4071]

I want to start in the industry, i still don't know in what field, so i started to learn modeling by myself and i followed many courses...i believed i had achieved some skills. After watching your videos i feel i have to restart. The way you explain all the principles is so good and easy to understand. your channel it's pure gold. keep it up! you deserve way more subscribers!

[@MrAlbertein]

The blender community needs more Blender Bob videos. We need you Blender Bob!

[@boxcardboard5594]

Fullfilling the deal!!!

[@jamienorton786]

Hi Bob, liked, subscribed, set notifcations and now commented ;) I have needed to skill up from dirty concept modelling for concept art to VFX standard modelling, and finding your channel is just perfect. Love that you share your knowledge for free. Fantastic content, and I really like your presentation style. Thank you for what you share in your channel, I am very happy to have found this. Have a great day

[@hairyguysketches9799]

Thank you for the advice about the nut! It was really helpful. Oh, and the beveling was nice too, I guess.

[@skadoshh5402]

Entertaining. Underrated channel

Okay Blender Bob, you're my favorite Blender Channel now.

[@harithsami843]

Great video as always

[@leongachuiri3626]

i love your channel especially the one for crowd simulation i would love to see more crowd stuff in blender.

[@HubertKnoblauch3DContentOnline]

Amazing Bob, learning so much!

[@digitalcyclopsvideoproduct867]

Wonderful! Beveling using multiples of 2... makes sense once you show it!

[@Fxnarji]

your videos are amazing!

[@michaelsbasement9021]

I learned so many things (far more than four) so I thought of sending you some flowers???

[@coreys2686]

Another way to use bevel modifier, instead of using the Angle Limit Method: Limit Method: Weight change Width Type from "Offset" to "Percent" In the Sidebar [n] > item tab > adjust the Mean Bevel Weight in the Edges Data

[@BlenderBob]

You are absolutely right! I totally ignored that because... well... I just didn't know about it at the time. But I do talk about it in one of the advanced modeling tutorials. I also forgot about another way to make bevels: bevel shader node. But I also talk about it in the advanced one. Thanks for the input! :-)

[@ThadeousM]

The bevel theory I've been searching for!

[@csguru8211]

I've already done all four things before watching the whole video cause your tutorials are great.

[@alexandrearaujo4256]

Greetings from Brasil. Thank´s to Andrew Price, he sent an e-mail to the subscribers of his channel, telling about you and how amazing your videos are. I gave him a try and came here to check it. I am glad I made it. you are great. you explain things in a very nice way, thank you.

[@winstonlloyd1090]

This is great - helping me to understand how Blender thinks about bevels, so maybe I can think about bevels rather than just trial and error. Subscribed.

[@wadeeliason969]

Great info. its great knowing the details about what is needed. thank you

[@parth1350sharma]

You gave me a lot of general knowledge today!

[@BlenderBob]

Awesome!

[@TheRealStructurer]

Great stuff presented in a great way 👍🏼 Keep them coming!

[@markus.kaufmann]

This really helps a lot. Thanks for this video series!

[@hectorescobar9450]

At 8:30, you don’t have to apply the modifier for you to split that corner into two quads. Just split it creating two triangles, once you get out of edit mode, the bevel modifier will recalculate that and split it into two quads. You can also tell the bevel modifier where to add the bevels by changing the setting from angle, to weight and just give weight values to the edges to set how wide you want that particular edge to be.

[@the3dmemelord82]

[@chlbrn]

45 species of kangaroos remind me of my undergraduate life, at that time, I had an environment course that required us categorizing species of animals and plants, and writing their names in Latin which really gave me a big headache...

[@SHAMS-G2]

Alright a deal is a deal

[@BlenderBob]

That bevel clip brought me so many subscribers... :-)

[@BlenderDaily]

the walnut forced me to write this comment

[@BlenderBob]

I worked! :-) I just subscribed to your channel!

[@afrosymphony8207]

good lord, this whole thing made me sad cause i just realized i didnt know jack shit about something i thought was basic modelling. even with this explanation i still didnt understand half of it

[@BlenderBob]

Sorry I made you sad. I guess just watch it again so you will understand the other half. ;-)

[@MarCuseus]

Challenge, how to make chiseled 3D text with clean topology?

[@BlenderBob]

That's actually the subject for next week! Be patient my young padawan.

[@Tarex_]

Lol for all of the edgeloops you can talk to josh gambrel :D that's his standard approach.. so this is my comment, already subscribed and a like is also there

[@BlenderBob]

Now that's funny because I started Blender Bob after seeing one of his clips and thinking he was totally wrong in his approach (doesn't mean it apply to all his clips though). Everybody has their own way of working. The end result is what counts. :-)

[@Tarex_]

@@BlenderBob i came to Blender from Fusion360 for the mesh manipulation of my CAD files since there are some moves that are frustrating to do in cad, struggling my way through Blender, so trying any and all kinds of tutorials, the loopcut thing just doesn't work on imported geometry usually, but love your videos, we have similar humor :D and appreciate the experience you bring to the table

[@BlenderBob]

@@Tarex_ Well, check the next clip I'm going to post, hopefully this weekend, because it will be about dealing with CAD data. Thanks for the comments. Tarek? That sounds like a Vulcan name. Do you have pointed ears? (now let's see if we have the same sense of humour)

[@Tarex_]

@@BlenderBob very definitely will be checking out your upcoming videos, can't wait, gave up when lattice bending a mesh with a reference photo, clipping and viewport rage happened there. And no the name is arabic, so yes hot blooded, the pointy ears come from me being half finnish though, more grinch than santa's helper, but the ladies usually like the vulcan greeting :D Shocker, i know ;) live long and prosper, till CAD Comment

[@okayest8978]

Jokes on you, I was allready subscribed!, but good video tought!, I did learned a lot blender wise

[@BO4s]

The song is The Girl from Ipanema.

[@izvarzone]

6:52 a lot of old tutorials teach that. But instead of knife I use insets on each smoothing group. Trick learned from polycount forum; there may be even scripts doing that automatically, but I havent find any for Blender yet, I know how to do it in Houdini (blender needs python for that, I dont know it yet)

[@hectorescobar9450]

The problem with that technique is that the shape wont hold up when you add a subdivision modifier

[@IGarrettI]

if your uvs are messing up with the subd modifier change the "uv smooth" in the advance section

[@BlenderBob]

I've learned a lot since then. Too bad YT won't allow us to change videos like Vimeo.

[@IGarrettI]

@@BlenderBob totally jumped the gun and didn't notice the video date. My bad !

[@BlenderBob]

@@IGarrettI No, my bad. I should have done more research before posting the clip. But I really enjoy getting comments like this so I can get better and better. I've learned a lot since I started Blender Bob. So thank you. :-)

[@IGarrettI]

@@BlenderBob no no, my bad , please 😄 thank you !

[@aronseptianto8142]

i feel a lot of the problem shown on the right can just be solved by having backup of unbeveled mesh

[@BlenderBob]

That's why I prone modelling in hybrid mode. A model that can be use with or without subdivision.

[@vrSpeechless]

Remastered are amazing. Was wondering about AA. Do you have some thoughts on what is the reason that some 3D graphics respond better to AA (FAA/TAA/MSAA) while others better to SSAA. Is it something to do with how they make their models, 'dirty or clean' based on your vfx industry etiquette recommendations?

[@BlenderBob]

I'm unfamiliar with FAA TAA and MSAA. Maybe it applies to the gaming industry only?

[@vrSpeechless]

@@BlenderBob I guess so, I am just understanding that now. The gaming industry is realtime 3D where fps is king, so jaggies abound, and anti-aliasing (AA) is necessary. And in the movie industry, each frame is rendered to perfection, so AA is a mute point, unless you are upscaling/downscaling, at which point the 3D geometry is not relevant, because you are in post production.

[@BlenderBob]

@@vrSpeechless I know what antialiasing is. I just don't know about the different kinds you were mentioning. We rarely upscale in the film industry. If we do, it will be for thing like smoke or fire. Things that don't have any sharp edges.

[@BlenderBob]

Ok I just checked, These AA settings are only for hardware rendering, so, gaming.

[@BlenderBob]

But I guess I will need to learn about them because the film industry is changing with virtual studios and we are in the process of jumping into that train.

[@Uradamus]

By chance, did you just not know about edge crease before making this? Support loops are for chumps who don't know better, heh. =P

[@BlenderBob]

Creases are great as long s you stay inside the same software. It's more problems when you have to convert stuff from one software to another

[@Uradamus]

​@@BlenderBob I suppose. These days my stuff is always either in Blender or Godot, and I have to apply my mods when I move things to Godot, so any subd I might have been using is baked in and the edge creases job is done at that point.

[@esbjornmonteliusrisberg6834]

The obligatory comment

[@enkifury1838]

😂😂 5 things +

[@phalhappy8612]

Question: do you keep modifiers in final render or you apply them all before rendering?

[@BlenderBob]

If I stay in Blender, I usually keep them. If I need to export the models to another software, then obviously I need to bake them.
