Fusion 360 - Whats New Sculpting -Season 3

What's New Sculpting, is my attempt to wrap my head around all the new features that have been added since my last video 12 months ago.

Man thank gawd your back. It was your earlier 360 vids that got me through the learning curve and I've always appreciated the fact that you taught us the shortcut keys which I live by. Once again, you've upped my skill level so thanks a million!

[@peterbenson2170]

Hi Lars, and thank you. I've only been finding out how to use F360 for about 8 weeks in preparation for delivery of a 3D printer. Your tutorials have been my goto resource. However the latest Autodesk moves mean I'll be off. I should have known better as I got caught out previously when Autodesk bought out a small drawing package i was using and over time moved to the subscription scenario...that was about 30 years ago. Anyhow, I still thank you personally for the tutorials, and method of delivery. I'll miss being taught CAD by Al Capone, aka Lars.

[@UselessDuckCompany]

I have been waiting forever for this

[@jbeck66]

I have watched many of Lars's videos in detail and gained quite a bit of knowledge (at least for me). Over the last year they have gotten me over many road blocks. Even when I don't have time to concentrate on a video I have found a way to still learn from Lars: When I'm working I que up some of Lars's videos and just run them in background. I had never even considered sculpting before and now, here I am! Another win for me thanks to the Great Lars Christensen!

[@gerogiousboob]

Lars, I never laughed at your many blunders, no matter. I learn more when you do. Saves me time doing that same blunder.

[@mikecurrie1795]

Great! Thanks Lars, sculpting is starting to make sense for me now.🙂

[@FirstLast-ih6ec]

I spent a lot of time on this channel, learning fusion 360, but with the new restrictions and no grand-fathering for existing designs, autodesk and fusion is a dead end for me. Started to learn FreeCad and loving it.

[@michaelcrumly]

Shh they are pretending everything is okay , they cant hear you. they only see people who stroke their pathetic ego

[@samsteel4456]

I feel exactly the same way. I deleted all of my subscriptions to Lars, Brad, Fusion etc as well as deleted Fusion 360 on my computer. More than happy to have made the switch to Solidworks as a student. Wish I did it 4 years ago.

[@FirstLast-ih6ec]

Switched to FreeCad and love it. As opposed to Fusion 360, the time I invest learning it, will be useful for a long time for me. And, it's a local app, no cloud junk, versions change on you, and doesn't require an occasional login. Actually, FreeCad is a very impressive piece of software.

[@stinkyham9050]

So how's that Freecad sculpting environment working for you..... oh sorry I forgot it doesn't have one. Atleast you have crashes, bugs and terrible UI.

[@BAMACOUPE]

You're doing fine, Lars! Thanks for coming back to this community!

[@sergeybob3224]

Very glad to see You again ! Many Thanks, Lars ! Good luck !...

[@PvdBaard]

HI Lars, thank you ever so much for the link to this tutorial as well as the enthusiasm in explaining. Now we are really learning this.

[@skoods1]

Man, Lars, you're great! Thanks for this and all your other videos. Love the fact that you PC stalled at the end there, I thought it was just my crappy machine struggling. And.... it's good to see you fumbling a little in the form/sculpt environment as you go. that reminds me that even pros need to learn new tricks and it's ok for me to be slow and uncertain as I learn. Cheers Lars!

[@Brownstone31]

Nice explanation. Great to have you back, don't let the haters get you down.

I was looking forward to watching your video...then I remembered my designs are mine not autodesks so I wont be using it anymore.

[@shaunmccreary182]

Love watching all your videos and by no means was this a lame duck! Thank you and look forward to more learning.

[@realspacemodels]

I have a project that will require some sculpted parts. I have not worked in sculpt enough to really even get started. This video was terrific in showing me where to start and how to navigate in the environment. Now I have to go see if I can actually do it! Thanks!

[@cadcamstuff]

Awesome to hear. Thank you for watching!

[@EasyFold007]

I understand there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world but it It is a real shame how Autodesk is taking away little by little from Fusion360 and moving it to a "pay"(subscription) service. If you ask me the long term plan is to replace Inventor with Fusion360 but that is just my wild guess. We only had to look at the Adobe model to have known this was going to come somewhere down the line. As they say c'est la vie and thanks for the videos over the years.

[@EasyFold007]

@Wallace I can't afford the £263 for 1Year special currently going so now I have to settle for paying £54pm!!! I honestly think that is crazy. We help them develop the software over a multi year time frame (input, suggestions, feedback, etc) and now this. I can see an exodus of people looking elsewhere. It is now a matter of principle. I am certainly one of those heading to something else.

[@mvdg2927]

Use Freecad ...👍

[@mvdg2927]

@Wallace Freecad has a CAM section 👍 It's a bit strange in the beginning but you get used to it,and it's not cloud based kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXjbe554Z5iNfq8

Glad you’re back Lars!!

[@drewx10]

I've been working with sculpting in fusion for a bit now, so I'm still in the learning phase. I appreciate the ground you covered in this. You're not a bad at this artistic stuff. Just one criticism, drop the word or phrase "kind of". You're a good presenter and I do enjoy your detailed look at fusion.

[@cadcamstuff]

Glad you find the content useful

[@augustusz9419]

thank you, amazing content.

[@NeilWB]

Loved it

[@masterchief6523]

So ultimately my understanding from this is you can pretty much take 2d references and then make crude, rough sketching and with a little playing around you actually play with the body like it’s clay pretty much. That’s neat! I can’t wait to try this function and kinda leaned on the side of caution with having to form what I need but that kinda helps even further nail the part, if you will, down to what you physically need in different applications.

[@dirtyoledog519]

inspiring to see what can be done by a talented user of this software. As a home hobbyist obviously it takes forever to get anywhere close to this

I'm currently using Fusion free licence. I use it for 3d print only and export everything to STLs. I'd love to hear from pay users as to the benefits because I might jump on board if there are some obvious upgrades that I would use.

Nice video Lars, but I think the time spent sculpting in F360 isn't worth it. Something like Blender would be better for sculpting this stuff (and you can use the blender 3D print add-on if you wish).

[@jameslaine2472]

Is there really no way to "lock" parts of a form when sculpting so that changes on one side do not affect changes on the other side (like when working on the front of the duck, I don't want the back of the duck to change)

[@karlvella7627]

Hi lars... Very good content but with those restrictions and you have to pay for the hibbiest its not going to work... Thanks karl

[@Tarex_]

alignment and calibration of canvases is still one of the features that should be overhauled, no matter if you take a low res picture or a 100 megapixel picture, there is no way to reliably align the sizes and views

[@Infaxis]

I've heard F360 are adding more limitations to the hobbyists license. *What exactly are these new limitations?*

[@chrismiles4401]

Great video do you have a way or is fusion capable of projecting a sketch onto the duck body? This might be helpful to project a feather pattern onto the wing and then use trace function in cam.

[@priority2]

Missed you!

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you :-)

[@priority2]

Lars Christensen hey brother, you’ve taught this old retired tin-knocker how to use CAD and I’m eternally grateful. God bless you❤️

[@richardlowe42]

Is there anything anywhere that goes through the huge number of tools in the menus, sub-menus & sub-sub-sub-menus? Every time I drop-down a menu, I'm faced with a number of options, & each option seems to lead to yet more options; I get lost. I reckon it will do what I want, but which of the dozens of switches to set to 'on', & which to 'off'? Is there a comprehensive & updated guide? took me ages to find the "edit by curve" technique, now to learn how to use it! & what settings to choose?

[@shaurus68]

Fantastic video Lars, very informative. Missed your insights into how 360 works and how to get the most out of it

Can I create patterns for faces to cut out with plasma cutter..., or ribs to support individual feathers. Sorry, I am newbie and not sure best way to ask questions -or even what to ask!!

[@nova3d173]

It's very cool to see the process of make a 3d yellow duck based on the pciture. Any interest in trying 3d printing and introducing a way help 3d designer to bing their ideas to life quickly? Maybe we could cooperate on it.

Hi Lars, what kind of machine is installed in your background on the small rack? ;-) Regards Andreas

Hi Andreas, It is a CNC Haas Controller. It is used in education. But mine is just fancy wall art.

[@douglasmckinley-sr1507]

At about 22:30 you rotate the model 360 degrees to select all the faces going around. Wouldn't it be much quicker to select one face and then select and adjacent one with (SHIFT and then LEFT CLICK TWICE) that would select all the faces in that loop.

Hi How would you go by making a 4 sided dice (tetrahedron)?

I made a tetrahedron using sketching in 3D. But I am having a bit of trouble rounding the corners. I don't think it is a solid.

[@arthurny3914]

As nomenclature is important....vital even in this 3D industry, what you call something is important. A vertex and point could be considered the same thing for example but one wouldn't box a cylinder. F360 is not sculpting. It's more of a tangential way of Sub-D modeling. You would, for example not call Rhino parametric even it can be changed with numbers just like F360. Sculpting is zBursh, 3D Coat, or Blender for example because of the fact that the way the geometry is manipulated is generally with brushes. Part of the reason why I feel it's important to really make this distinction is because users may think there doing something which they aren't. Or think they can approach a model in a way which they can't. If you think about what sculpting is, in the traditional sense, much like how lofting came from the boat industry and actually works in much the same way....sculpting shapes in marble or clay were carved with tools directly and this is not how F360 does it. Nor am I saying that it should I just feel it's important to call the balls and strikes appropriately.

[@cadcamstuff]

Thank you for the lesson :-)

[@illbee3395]

Can you add surface tex

[@coulterjb22]

Good stuff. Thanks for the Tube-always entertaining and insightful. I'd like to ask for a Tube showing an imported 3D model that was scanned, imported into F360, and then making a model that fits around it. Using the form/plane tool that lets you take the shape of a model's surface when applying the pull tool in the form/modify section helps make better fitting parts.....so I would think...... I've spent the last couple of weeks importing obj files and converting them into a mesh body that the points of a plane clings to the mesh when using the pull tool.....BUT....some parts of my model had sharper corners/curves that made this approach really tough. When I prototype things that need to fit a complex/real-world shape it really helps to have a 3D model you can create a shape around instead of using this form tool (for my purpose-not a comment on your video-which I loved). If this approach could copy the surface of an imported mesh and then stitched together to then be turned into a lightweight body that can be used in F360 more easily than a hard-to-work with mesh I think that would help a lot of others.... and of course me. one of my projects has multiple copies of a mesh that I've converted to a T-Spline is still bogging my new computer down to a crawl! And this thing is a beast. If I could copy the mesh into an F360 body my computer would sing!

[@coulterjb22]

Yikes. Wall of text. Basically looking for a better way to take an stl of OBJ and create a lightweight Fusion body (like you modeled it from scratch=less faces). And copy as much detail as the user wants to spend time re-creating.

[@samsteel4456]

I am genuinely sad to be unsubscribing from Lar's channel, Brad's channel and Fusion/Autodesks channel. However, my goat is fried far to crisp to forgive what was done to those of us that were alpha and beta testers from the very beginning; offering bug reports and feature requests all while being promised that "Fusion will always remain free for personal/hobby use". In fact, I clearly remember Lars stating those very words. Little did we know that the free/hobby license would be castrated to a mere shell of the program we had become accustomed to. Autodesk posts BILLIONS of dollars in profits. How much money would they have lost if they had grandfathered those of us that were here from the beginning as a thanks for helping them to grow and propagate fusion to our subscribers and our community? What a wonderful trick they played by sucking all of us in by promoting this wonderful free software to nearly every youtube influencer on the planet. Talk about pulling the rug out from under an entire community. I've deleted all of my subscriptions and my copy of fusion. I only wish I had downloaded the student version of Solidworks (the industry standard for a reason) years ago. What a wonderful, complete, extremely capable software suite. I only regret losing so much time learning a piece of software I just deleted and never plan on going back to. What you did was dirty Autodesk. I'm choked and much of the community is choked, despite the patronizing move of returning STP to the file menu. I'm currently working on a prototype which I will commercialize via my new product development company. Not in a million years will I pay for a commercial license to Autodesk for any software. I'm more than happy to learn Solidworks as a student and once I am using their software to generate money, will happily purchase a commercial seat. You made your bed Autodesk. Burn me once, shame on me. Burn me twice.....not gonna happen ever again. Buh-bye Autodesk. Going to miss Lars, Brad and the rest of the good people that are dealing with the fall out of a greedy move of a rotten company.

You are right it`s not. However, it might be the end of Autodesk Fusion 360 getting private users in a large scale. One of the things who kept me on the platform where the free file sharing and evolution who came from others improving my home designs, who has never ever been sold. They just removed 3 out of 4 legs of why home users should use Fusion360 - even when blodfans stay true. In the end, it will also affect Lars and the others who make great videos, since users will run away - and with them, future paying customers in a future work situation.
