Creating a Wheel in Substance 3D Modeler Beta | Adobe Substance 3D

[@dopinkus]

Highly suggest for all tutorials - you turn on an on-screen key logger. Will make following your shortcuts much easier.

[@FPChris]

19:15 This is where a TOP view should be. This alone should scream to Adobe developers "that FOR SOME REASON there isn't a top view" and they should add LTRB views that are STANDARD in 3D modeling for good reason.

[@tranquocminh3519]

Man, you're rocks! Thank You for your course !!! I've learned so much!!!

[@JAYg33t4r]

The boolean thing was EXACTLY what I couldn't wrap my head around how I would do these types of cuts until I listened to this! Now if there was only a way to reset zoom because somehow I zoomed through my object, panned, and then lost it...hahahaha

[@xnajx]

Did you work out how to reset the zoom? I think if you hit "R" twice it resets. I worked that out from a recent tutorial but there is a list on the Modeler site under, "Getting Started".

[@JAYg33t4r]

@@xnajx adobe reached out to me somewhere else and told me "F" resets it. Thank you for that tip though and i'll definitely try that out!

[@xnajx]

@@JAYg33t4r oh that’s right. There aren’t many keyboard shortcuts which is good in a way.

[@JAYg33t4r]

@@xnajx have you done any organic modeling in the program? I'm trying to figure out if I can replace zbrush with it haha

[@xnajx]

@@JAYg33t4r I’m very new to the 3D space. Tried learning Blender but it’s so full on. I like how Modeler is a bit easier for a noob to create shapes more simply without being overwhelmed by 100’s of different options.

[@michaeltanzillo]

Laurens is the best!!!! Lovely tutorial

[@JoshuaMerrill042]

Thank you for this demonstration, this is exaclty what I needed to get started.

[@szilardhazi]

Really straightforward and clean boolean workflow, but is there a way to turn into highly accurate polymesh inside the app?

[@paulworster3683]

i think the warp hardness spheres and gizmos in general feel very confusing being both white and not translucent enough. i think it would also be better to have a grid / wireframe look to it for better judgement of space. there could even be an area of influence colours on model its self like the soft selects visuals in Maya and Max. this would make operations much easier to understand.

[@МихаилБадаев-э5ф]

Very interesting and powerful application.

[@sinusmagnus2015]

Can you make a classic layer manager ? This is very confusing currently. Cheers

[@shikhermyv]

Yeah

[@cgvinny]

the layers/scoping system should be revisited soon.

[@iouzzr]

The outliner is there in 1.10.50 beta version.

[@KaoukabiJaouad]

it needs a simple gizmo/modifying geometry tool, with the select tool, you take your work, and you select it, and you should be able to select a simple gizmo and scale only on one axis, (with a hardness radius) a lot of stuff could a lot simpler with a tool like that, i wanted to create a simple saucer, cutting a sphere in half and squashing it, it pretty hard to do with a warp tool, the software impressed me, with the performance, it's pretty fast and responsive, and easy to use

[@Substance3D]

Hey, non-uniform warping might not come for a while, non-uniform scaling of layers might come sooner. But for what you want to you should just squash the sphere before you place it.

[@KaoukabiJaouad]

@@Substance3D Thanks for the response exciting things, good luck for the rest

[@Alienbacilusua]

I'd HIGHLY suggest adding a key for transforming on every BUT selected axis, as in Blender. For example, I want to make my cylinder thicker, but not higher. Right now solution is in 3 steps - increase overall size, decrease height, apply. It will be a lot faster if you could exclude axis + it can be much more precise and will surely spare you extra hassle of changing views to align everything properly.

[@adelsaleh49]

thank you for sharing this with us!!!

[@SupaPoopaScoopa]

If you could auto-create splines at user-defined threshold angles, then be able to use though splines to precisely target those edges, with modifiers, such as sharpen, smooth, and even draw your own profile edge different shapes to distort those edges, that would me the holy grail of user control.

[@Amazingvrr]

thanks a lot!!! so nice reverb

[@turbolike7]

When will the Mac version be available?

[@Substance3D]

Currently being worked on! release TBD.

[@A_Jannik]

This workflow with using boolean operations with primitives remindes me of working with distant fields in spheretracing ^^

[@Substance3D]

The primitives are actually SDF's !

[@A_Jannik]

@@Substance3D Interesting, nice to know. Thank you

[@digitechrecordingstudio5057]

yo bro, really thankya. Big respect

Cannot wait to see the release version of this App

[@cgvinny]

The beta is actually available for free, so don't hesitate to try 😉

[@AntonioLirio]

@@cgvinny So great news!! Also Mac OS?

[@cgvinny]

@@AntonioLirio not at the moment. I don't believe before we get out of beta

[@Vozferbet]

Where can I find the layers I have created?

[@chomsky72]

Bummed my GPU can't run the app. Anyway to get my Quadro m3000m to run it? I know it's an older card. keep getting message that my card doesn't meet requirements.

[@M0DFATH3R]

Really cool tools

[@JAYg33t4r]

Is there a way to be more exact while making shapes? Like is there a snap feature or is there a data input form for the slider info?

[@Substance3D]

For now no, it's really mostly just eyeballing.

[@uxdecipher1724]

@@Substance3D fk'n noob 3D software then

[@Japooth]

How can I take something made in this software and import the model into after effects for animation?

[@Substance3D]

Hey you can already do this, done it myself just yesterday. You need to follow the normal exporting, put it into Stager, then export to GLB from Stager once you assign materials there. We have some video's on the exporting and Stager part.

[@bobsteven2363]

It looks like my blender modeling workflow but without any worries about topology nailing you in the buttcheecks. So like 3d coat but substance

[@lusenator]

Hey is substance 3D modeler ever going to get running on MacOS?

[@Substance3D]

Yes, though we can't give an ETA for now.

[@zacharoninoodle]

What kind of geo does this spit out at the end of the process? How is the topology?

[@Substance3D]

There are parameters for auto-topology that you can set wehn exporting. exporting formats are currently .fbx, .glb, .gltf, .obj, .usd.

[@alfonzoherran8206]

so it works basicaly with booleans so no topoogy involve?

[@Substance3D]

Yes!

[@gerulfdosinger9869]

@@Substance3D I wonder how you will position this software in the broad range of alraeady available options on the market - many of them powerful and free or having a very favourable pricetag. Pure boolean workflows may be intuitive for beginners but you can only go so far with it. Looks like the meshes will be really dense so real-time use may be off the cards and - again - for high detail-high poly modeling there are options aplenty. Will there be options for remeshing or any features that take this software beyond being a concepting tool? I am really curious.

[@Substance3D]

​ @Gerulf Dösinger I can not stress this enough: Modeler is beta, still in development, and things might change. There are a lot of talented 3D artists working at Substance, who raise the same points as you (me included). That said, there is already a remesh and auto-UV workflow built into Modeler. There's no video on it yet, I want to make one asap. The meshes and UV's it generates not perfect, but it's many times faster than manual rework (5 mins vs 3 hours or so for this wheel).

[@Substance3D]

@@gerulfdosinger9869 Also you say "pure boolean workflows" but Modeler is more than that, I'm not a character artist like our Art Director Gio, but he makes crazy organic stuff with. You can definitely do more with Modeler than just these simple add, subtract merge operations. I just wanted to show a simple project to get started ;)

[@gerulfdosinger9869]

@@Substance3D Cool stuff. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't to critize the product unfairly - I am genuinly curious! I hope I didn't come across as rude or provocative. Looking forward to seeing more videos about features - mainly UV, remesh and Painter integration! Keep it up.

[@BossaNossa1]

Have you sent a file like this for 3D printing...?

[@Substance3D]

Yes! There are people who use Modeler for 3D printing, you're welcome to ask on the Modeler Discord Community for tips.

[@Schmockbubi]

Will the stamps and Line-constraints come back? Great effort so far!

[@Substance3D]

Stamps are back! Line constraints are being considered in near future :)

[@user-jk9zr3sc5h]

Instead of dragging, can we input diameters, etc, in measurements? If we're trying to model true-to-scale, I dont see how this would work?

[@Substance3D]

Not yet, the dev team is looking into making things more product designer friendly

[@FaisalAlmarry]

Do you have a beta version for Mac OS or not yet?

[@cgvinny]

Not yet. We have to make this one more bulletproof first 😎

[@gulagwarlord]

Will the other Medium features be coming back? Modeler seems like a downgrade in a lot of ways...

[@Costura]

Hola, puedenb agregar medidas? para que quede como fusion???

[@Substance3D]

Todavía no se puede

[@SicksentZ]

I need a Mac beta 🤤

[@brianhall4112]

A little too outdated to follow easily. Eventually you can figure out the new terminology but would be nice if this was redone with the latest version. e.g. "Thickness" instead of "Fill", "Fillet" & "Chamfer" instead of "Bevel". But still a useful intro to the basics. Thank you for making this.

[@Substance3D]

Hey Brian, you're right, I'm torn to leave it online or not .. it still shows a nice basic project but terms have changed since I made this for the beta... You definitely want to follow our most recent series before you look at this!
