Fusing Cylinders Together in Blender (Subd and Boolean Strategy)

In this video, I'd like to demonstrate two simple ways you can fuse cylinders together in Blender using subd and union booleans.

Very well explained with precise information and without wasting time, straight to the point. After 2 years learning 3Dmax, I am returning to Blender (where I should never have left!) I will now follow your material and update myself.

[@lavatr8322]

Should've learned Rhino 3D which does both CAD and SubD modelling in 1 software.

[@wolfflers]

Your videos are so helpful. I was so mad older videos used apply and I couldn't find the feature in newer versions. thanks!

[@joe_fabricator]

Liked and Saved to my Hard Surface Modeling library. Thanks Josh

[@victorgomezsa]

Thank you very much!!! 🤩

[@Everything3dAnimation]

Thank you !

[@najhonbanjon]

very cool thank josh

[@B4uneed]

Thank you

[@9dramon]

Thanks in advance! Just last weekend I was running into that "pumpkin effect" and thought I'd just have to tweak it a bit and pretend I'd fixed it. I won't have time to work on anything for the next few days, but when I do, I think you just showed me how to fix it. Thanks for the name, too. I will be calling it a Pumpkin Effect from now on. :)

It would be good to branch out and learn more about subd workflow and box modeling to understand what's happening there. Another way to fix the end caps would be to turn on subd, select both end caps of the cylinders, press i to inset, go in a bit and left click to confirm. Press i to inset again, go in a little further, set it again. Then delete the two ngons. Select just one edge and press ctrl+f, click grid fill. In the bottom left tab change the two settings until the faces look nice, then do the same to the other hole.

Did my lemon&lime hi-fi this way😬👍

[@Tiki_Media]

May I suggest a quicker method: 1.) Add 2 loop cuts to the length of the 90-degree X-rotated cylinder, Scale them on the Y to get size of the square. 2.) Choose the faces that comprise a square or rectangle. 3.) Inset, 4.) Extrude, 5.) scale the selected end faces with S,X,0. 6.) add 2 supporting edge loops around the cylinder and through the cube, Scale them on the Y. 7.) Inset the cylinder end caps to make supporting loops, as well as an inset on the face of the "cube", and you are mostly done in 7 steps, no $$ Add-ons required.

[@Icyblade01]

is there a way to offset cut without the use of meshmachine?

[@waxellrubash2722]

I also hate that I have to pay just to do this simple thing... This video is just a big advertisement for mesh machine, not a useful tutorial.

[@neilcollins7371]

You can but it's not quick: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIW8aJyMZreglZo

[@cyjico]

@@waxellrubash2722 true though, i hate when tutorials are just a big advertisement

[@count23all]

Can you do one where you join the cube to the cylinder where the flat end of the cylinder meets, rather than in the centre? That triangular style topology where the cube face meets the flat cylinder face would be an incredibly good topology to study.

[@illustratorartist9555]

You can just extrude those square and agin they in point.

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Is meshmachine a free addon ?

[@gdog8170]

No

[@Tertion]

BRUH. You don't need any addons to connect cylinders lol

[@bloganc]

God bless you sexy man, nice tutorial.

[@chyacoshahi3977]

Activate cut short

[@hellfire7675]

Tried joining the Patreon page but it's stating that its removed...

[@HeeroYuy180]

that didn't work for me, I think you're using some plugin that I don't have

[@tarkovplayah5075]

some stuff without boxcutter would be nice

[@matematika1000]

Tutorial: Pay 45$ to have an add-on do it. Not really a tutorial then, is it mate?

[@robertdover5185]

Don't waste your time with these guys. They give you terrible advice to sell their addons. If you do pay for their stuff they spam you with emails multiple times a day. If you unsubscribe from their emails they will delete your paid account.

[@therealrebelsquadron]

You're an idiot.

[@r1pperuk]

or learn CAD software for this topology

[@kaspersaldell]

That's not why this channel exists

[@kaspersaldell]

@ddontyy This channel is called BlenderBros. Besides, CAD costs like thousands of dollars a year while Blender is free.
