Thanks to show how to doodat

[@Littlerolz]

this comment has made my day

[@RickHenderson]

That was very cool. It’s hard to remember all these great addons unless I use them everyday.

[@Littlerolz]

There sure are a lot of them out there!

[@vizdotlife]

I had no idea about this add-on....very cool and useful for sci-fi scenes

[@atari5177]

Came here for the turorial, stays because you're just a fun at explaining things

[@Littlerolz]

Thanks! I appreciate it!

[@RobynLtW]

Didnt know that addon existed! TY for bringing to our attention! Great tutorial! :D

[@lcdcstudios]

I hate that I didnt know this existed and then I made a ton of greeble and panels... well at now I have this for my future nebulon B that I've been putting off

[@360dudex]

Thank you I wish I knew about this months ago!

[@aquariuswithfire]

A way to use the doodads feature on circles is to grid fill them. Thanks a lot for bringing this to our attention! I will definitely be using it!

[@andrewgrinn3435]

Very entertaining tutorial

[@jacobscott8277]

This is a god send

[@deumnoctis]

I imagine making your own add-ons with pythons really fun

[@maxd6878]

That the secret I need to know a long time ago, really a big thx

[@lubigmac2867]

Just awesome. I'm glad to have found that. Thx for this perfect explanation 😄

[@Littlerolz]

Happy to have helped!

[@ThomasPrettyman01]

Have any advice for texturing the discombublated meshes? Something like JSplacement or SimpleSciFi displacements?

[@zedfirenze]

Love the music selection in the video man.

[@Littlerolz]

Cheers. Might do something similar in future. A few people have liked it

[@zedfirenze]

@@Littlerolz indeed man, thanks for the tutorial as well!!

[@Ema1441_]

The video is really funny with the steps, i like that. Keep up the good work!

[@Littlerolz]

Thank you!

[@nerowalker7530]

I like your sense of humor and thank for the vid keep it up

[@Littlerolz]

Thanks! I sometimes wonder if I’m getting any personality into these videos so I appreciate the comment!

[@peterbalance]

thank you love it

[@Littlerolz]

Thanks for the comment!

[@krishgujaran3987]

you made my day!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Foomandoonian]

There's a cool paid addon called Random Flow that does this, plus a whole lot more, so you can really detail up those spaceships.

[@Littlerolz]

I’ve seen that add on, it looks really cool!

[@salzwurst3026]

U got Great skill and Humor

[@Littlerolz]

Cheers for the kind words!

[@Satanic_Disciple]

Glad this is still in Blender. You mention doodads and needing quads. Have you tried to grid fill the circle?

[@Littlerolz]

Yeah you can do that! You would just need to fill it with various faces made up from quads like you say. I was more just illustrating the point here so if someone was following along and had a big round structure they were using them they would likely need to alter it first to make it work

[@stealthinator00]

The panels are called greebles. In the model making world it is a easy way to add detail and scale to any sci fi objects and ships. Without greebles not only do the ships would look boring but would lose the sense of scale.

[@Celicnibrk]

I like the BOTW soundtrack.

Doodads, whatchamacallits, whosawhatsitsface best words ever. The programmers must have been 90 years old

Haha thanks 😅

[@sabothbrainiac5844]

Here is my nerd moment! The trench run does not happen in the equatorial trench. If you remember: that is the same trench that the hangars are located in and we see that it is probably kilometres wide. The trench run happens in a longitudinal trench towards the "top" of the station. It is one of many, all of which had ventilation at the end of them. Its just that this one specific shaft led to part of the reactor system. Additional fact: The trenches in Star Wars models often came about because making two half spheres out of the right material that fit perfectly is really hard. The trench disguises imperfections. If you look at the original concepts the Deathstar is a perfect sphere. Other models have trenches for similar reasons (Millennium Falcon for example).

[@Furion2101]

Help pls, i cant see real-time changes while changing values of add-on.

[@storeboughtrocketgames2560]

Looks nice, but I don't think this would work well for a game as it looks like it gets really high poly when you start adding a lot of little intrusions in small spaces. Would be interested to see how this is done for games bcz I do see it there as well.

[@user-ft7xo8rn3w]

What is the app your working on?

[@Spellbound_93]

Only issue I'm having rn is when hitting okay the window disappears so I cant edit it live. Pressing F9 does not fix this issue. Any ideas?

[@josiahvalentine3430]

I was wondering if people used this addon anymore lolol, I love your comments on the name

[@lolaswift111]

next please teach us how to texture it and export it to game engines 🙂

[@jass783]

How did you get yours to display the changes in real time with edits in the menu? I have to hit ok to actually see anything change

[@Littlerolz]

You can hit ok and after it’s done the first one. Then similar to when you add a new object you get the context menu in the bottom left corner where you can tweak the settings there

[@jass783]

@@Littlerolz ahhh i see, thank you!

[@mihoilo2276]

@@Littlerolz I don't quite understand. Can you be more specific?

[@MickSullivan]

Do you know if this should be working in Blender 4.0? I don't get the option when I right click in Object Mode.

[@MickSullivan]

Never mind, I found it in the Add Mesh drop down.

[@mastermixterix]

I was about to model every single piece on a Star Destroyer model I made (on Maya), but… I think I’m going to export it to Blender to have this function… really I thought of modeling every single piece of detail it has (pipes, panels etc)

[@holidayshd6920]

im not quite sure why, but when I use the add-on and play arround with the settings, it doesnt seem to update the mesh in real time, does anyone have an answer for that?

[@chronic_iscam1249]

I LOVE THE BREATH OF THE WILD SOUNDTRACK WTF

[@Littlerolz]

Same here. It’s got such great tracks and a good variety of styles too!

[@adriancerv1039]

I would have really liked them to display the commands on the screen, as my PC's audio doesn't work very well. Despite this, I enjoyed the video.

[@Littlerolz]

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll have a look at a solution for that as I’ve seen others using a input overlay for their videos I just didn’t know how to get that up and running

[@mehmetonurlu]

I tought i forgot zelda open somewhere

[@Purpbatboi]

broken in latest versions

[@Anyad911]

Hi! I would like to ask some help with 3D modelling a part of a SW vehicle. If you agree, we may discuss it in private. I have managed to model most of the parts in Sketchup, but the main hull simply gets me mad. I think it won't take more than 15 minutes for an experinced user like you. Thank you in advance.

[@maniacbanana9431]

aw man the first thing i did was fuck with repeat protusions and everything crashed

[@Littlerolz]

Yeah if you’re gonna use repeats then don’t go all in too fast lol. It’s a very quick way to add a lot of geometry!

[@Rabtee1234]

[@chrismalcheski9232]

It probably wouldn't have hurt the video any if we dispensed with the movie clips. They really are not adding anything useful.
