BOOLEAN CLEANUP in Blender is EASY

[@jlmussi]

Great workflow for those looking to clean up Booleans! Always love using Radial Symmetry setups.

Thanks man! 🙏🏻🤘🏻

Wow! I just discovered you throughout the constant recommendations of Aryan and i have to say that you really are the king of topology!!! 🤘👍 great contents and thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us!!!

Thank you so much for your wonderful tutorials. And we also really do appreciate you taking the extra effort to explain why you do what you do. It helps us understand better. You're such a great teacher. Thank you so much

Thanks a lot for the kind words :)

You are a genius Thank to Aryan for recommending this channel

Thanks bro!

extremely smart and many commands I have never seen and don't know how to use, thanks Thomas

Thank you so much. You use a lot of short cut keys. Turning on the screen cast keys would help us a lot. ❤

[@ThomasColin3D]

I can't show you my screencast keys because I made my own custom shortcuts, you wouldn't be able to follow what I'm doing, that's why I tell what I press! :/

Merci!

"I don't like a diamond next to a beveli. " Only someone with experience would say such things. I need to hear and see more such things. The quirks and idiosyncrasies and beneficial bugs of subdiv behavior are the things I've never been able to get clear information on after 22 years of trying

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thanks :) I'll try to detail better next time yeah!

Nice keep going!

Thanks man!

This its gold, people want to know a magic trick to clean topology, and most tutorial videos skip this. This shows us that cleaning topology its mostly a manual work, and you need to be patience

[@ThomasColin3D]

@@pablog.511 Yes, patience and logic :)

Great explaining and good lesson. Looking forward to the next one!

[@kabiradhikari9424]

how did you add that loop at around 04:43 of the video ? it felt similar to 3ds max's connect tool

[@ThomasColin3D]

Ctrl+R

[@eitantal726]

1:44 Is it still destroyed if you uncheck "Dissolve Vertices"?

[@eitantal726]

3:10 Inset is a big deal! Not only does it give you control loops, it gives you what I call a "sidewalk". That's the area between the corner and the control loop. And the big deal about a sidewalk is, it's free of poles. No poles in a sidewalk, ever.

[@HeeroYuy180]

thanks, your videos help me a lot but my English is weak, I'm not that fluent, so I don't know what commands exactly you used

Hello Thomas! How is it going? I have a question: Does the topology matter if there are no shading errors/problems in a complex object that I modeled (the model will not change or will not add more details to the model)?

[@burningbright2003]

Is that the camera model Master Xeon (Mx2) hard ops and box cutter guy Created? I saw all the modelling part

Years ago modeling to render i would be doing these processes.. now in days im playing with 3D design and printing, not so sure this is still needed? am i wrong? if i am, why? appreciate the feedback if you can get to it

[@g1gahertz]

Hello, I really like your videos and your approach to modeling. I haven't been able to model one guitar for a very long time, namely the IBANEZ PIA3761C-BLP. I keep thinking about approaches to creating it, but I just can’t figure out how to implement it. If you showed how you would create this, then I think it would help many beginners understand how to model such complex (easy at first glance), in my opinion, things. Thank you

[@yunusgokgoz1613]

More tutorial please

[@Ikriptonboy]

I would have used an array modifier with an empty controlling the rotation, then adjust the vertices to merge them together (with the array option ro merge on), then applyed the modifier. It would have been faster.

[@eltortu3883]

This is kind of relaxing, until i have to do it at least

[@izzak6189]

This is great. However it shows why boolean workflows are so problematic sometimes when box modeling and subdivision methods would have prevented the topology on this asset in the first place.

[@cutedumbpanda8066]

My guy....

[@dennisbuyse258]

Your appreciation for boolean operations at the end feels misplaced to me. I still don't see a point in using them if topology is important

[@ThomasColin3D]

I just showed you how to cleanup the topology, did you watch the tutorial ??

[@dennisbuyse258]

​@@ThomasColin3D Yes, and you spend the same if not more time it would take to model it from scratch. Then you concluded with "don't shy away from booleans".

[@Emmyskies]

​@@dennisbuyse258 Yes indeed. Booleans are needed and helpful but you should also learn to clean them up and have a good topology, that's what makes you a good modeller and that's why we have Thomas to learn from. He's really great

[@ThomasColin3D]

What do you mean ?

[@myztazynizta]

@@sebastianosewolf2367 subdivs actually need evenly spaced geometry all over the object to properly hold the shape and avoid texture stretching. Regular polygon objects where every thing can be made of triangles of almost any shape and size without much negative effects don't have such issues

[@Specter_1125]

@@Emmyskieshe is right though that subdivision surface objects should ideally be evenly spaced quads. Tri are fine if you know where to put them and how they subdivide. Evenly spaced quads does help avoid texture stretching, and makes UV unwrapping easier. It also helps to avoid a lot of shading errors, quickly make varying levels of detail, makes it easy to add resolution if you wanted to make smaller details, and lets you cleanly deform the mesh (even in hard surface this can be useful, such as modeling an object flat, then using a surface deform and shrink wrap modifier to bend it over another object). Not every object needs to have topology suitable for subdivision, but it’s pretty important to know how to do it.

[@Emmyskies]

@@sebastianosewolf2367 haahaa,,,you know nothing about modelling and good topology 😂

[@sebastianosewolf2367]

@ more than you think and I work way longer there as you. Fact is as long there are no issues with texturing and lighting you don’t need these topo - if you wanna animate it bend it or similar then yes
