These are some amazing tips and the diamond tufting was brilliant in its simplicity! I had just been thinking about how one might pull off that effect and... well there it is! And yeah, I really wish my computer could handle cloth simulations at even half that speed...

[@spoxnus]

This vid format was amazing. I love that you put the same kind of topic together like this. Do more of this.

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

5 minutes of Blender Secrets feels like a Blender Movie. Great Job as always, thank you 🔝

[@ronaldvenegas7802]

Nice tutorial. I learned a lot. But did not practice some because my blender is 2.79 version and there was no "pressure and shape" in physics

[@chaosordeal294]

At 2:24, this may not be clear. Smoothing the verts made some of them sink into the pillow body where they could not be seen. "Moving" them with the G (grab) key, but not actually moving them and just clicking, causes them to pop back up to the surface because Snap is turned on. I did so much of this while retopologizing that I built a macro to do it, because if you do it over and over by hand, you end up accidentally moving things a bit when clicking the mouse, which usually calls for an undo-and-try-again.

[@MeshMenagerie]

not really understand how your facets go indented along the scale inward action so you have this well defined rhombs ? when i scale the small round facets in in individual pivot point mode only them go inside but the rest facets stay still. How to achieve? rewatched 100 times and cant see what i miss here. Help please :)

[@Tiki_Media]

Thank you for simplifying the understanding of cloth. This is a great starting point. I always love some of the edit mode tricks I learn from your videos, like tracing a surface line on an object, very handy!

[@RetArm]

My computer burst into flames just watching the cloth sim.. ;) Still, another great video. Thank you sir.

[@johnbubu8310]

Got your pdf last week. Your tutorials are straight to the point and amazing! Thank you

[@BlenderSecrets]

Thank you!

[@tamarakepreyeomgbuayakimi.2841]

Pls can you share with me , orrr how can I get mine pls.

[@sudd3660]

when i add cloth physics the plane disappears. disabling gravity before applying cloth helped. odd behaviour of blender.

[@tabby1285]

I dont understand, how you make the cloth brush only deform in "bigger" parts for me its always very small and does small wrinkles.

[@BlenderSecrets]

You can change the Radius and the Strength to change how big an area and how much a brush affects the underlying surface.

Do you work for blender? Because you know more than about it than anyone

[@AprendercadadiaSoldadura]

Thanks for your video, can you help me to get the effect of liquid metal and then solidifying?

[@RachaMask]

I litteraly just did some stuff from this video, it was useful and it turned out great, great till everything went away because blender is too intense for my pc..

[@yannterrer]

I just tried your cloth simulation with Hook, it didn’t react like in your Demo, I had to parent the plane to the hook to do so;) thanks again it is a Huge tool!

[@yannterrer]

Oh my god Your hooked Close simulation! Marvelous Design in Blender;)

Its Ctrl numpad+

3:01 i get stars , not circles idk why

[@yannterrer]

Tks al lot, you diamond Tufting modeling is brillant!

[@doomsdaytuther5095]

My only wish is that you either turn that background music so low you can hardly hear it or turn it off altogether. There is so much information coming from the tutorial and the music can make it hard to understand what you are saying. I know having music in the background has become trendy but you do not need the music if you are a good teacher. My brain is trying hard to filter out the damn music to figure out what you are saying. My only solution is to download the video and use a vocal splitter softer

[@BlenderSecrets]

Good to know, the music sounds very low volume for me but I'll lower it a bit more in the future.

How do you render the pillow

just amazing

if you are getting weird face while beveling the vertices then reduce the amount of segments to 1

This dude has single handedly patched me into the mainframe

[@spoxnus]

Are you moving the cloth in real time at 4:41 ? Because i don't think i can do that.

[@BlenderSecrets]

Yes, it's moving in real time. I guess it depends on your computer power, but normally it shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Nice tip for the Interactive Cloth ;)

[@mindblowndaily21]

The best tutorial I've ever seen!

[@bcin3d]

Awesome explaination of a Chesterfield pattern. For the past eight hours I've been trying to develop a booth cushion from other tutorials, and yours worked within 10 minutes. I was able to work it on only a front side of a mesh.

[@BlenderSecrets]

You can probably get an easier and better result if you can find a nice Alpha or VDM map to use as a stamp or tiling displacement map, I think. Perhaps an idea for a future video, I'll write it down..

[@Blender3D_Specialist]

awesome

[@DQR.ท.ร]

thank you good

[@itsmeliska1186]

[@rustey222]

[@Tiki_Media]

When deforming the pillow with the Cloth Sculpt brush, I noticed the cursor changes from an orange ring to yellow at 1:11. Could someone tell me what that mode is, please?

[@Kashies]

Not sure if you've solved this yet, but I got it to work by first going into Object mode and then pressing CTRL + A and applying Rotation and Scale. Then when I went into sculpt mode the cloth brush acted as it does in the video.

[@Tiki_Media]

I tried @Kashies suggestion and I could not seem to solve my original question, namely, what is the yellow cursor at 1:11? Looking at it again, I think Jan switched briefly to either the "Thumb" or "Nudge" brush to flatten the pillow, but the left-hand menu still says "Cloth". I suspect that was just a video editing anomaly.

You just don't know how to use Blender, nice try though.

[@opshredderytp]

@@gerdsfargen6687 Thx

[@babstra55]

a year too late and you probably figured it out already, but in case anybody reads this later: the problem was almost certainly that you tried to simulate in edit mode instead of object mode. it only works in object mode.

[@gerdsfargen6687]

Is archviz free?

[@BlenderSecrets]

Not sure what you mean. ArchViz just stands for "Architectural Visualization". For example when you're hired by an architecture firm to make 3D renders of their architectural plans. It's just a genre of 3D, I guess you could say.

[@gerdsfargen6687]

@@BlenderSecrets I realised this too late. Yes it was my mistake. I thought it was an addon but now am wiser for knowing it's a whole paradigm of visualising and modelling architecture. I just love what you've done to create these realism effects and want to learn more. How / where would I start when tackling these in Blender?
