[@exorcist3d99]

Hey, I'm a 19 year old who got into digital art during high school. I fell in love with it, it was the only thing I've ever enjoyed in life. I was aiming to become a self taught concept artist now as my design degree is in some random course for Branding, but with AI now I'm not so sure that dream is viable. however I continue to improve whatever skills I can and your tutorials are a life saver for anything hard surface related and I thank you my friend.

[@PonteRyuurui]

You need to draw from the power of your name and exorcise those fears. AI is a tool, use it to your advantage. Change is inevitable - embrace it and adapt.

[@jonrenders]

@@PonteRyuurui I'm using AI for inspiration, it works fantastic, it gives me a general idea of what I wanna do and the details. It's not limiting my creativity but expanding it

[@marsmotion]

these days we all need to brand ourselves really so your branding course is valuable if applied to yourself. everyone atm is fascinated with this beginning steps ai is making into the world of art. the low hanging fruit being photo-bashing. alot of this image ai tech has been honed by nasa in removing things from mars images they want to hide automatically and also from removing data from google earth images as its updated as well. now its being leaked into the commercial sphere and artists are all a buzz about it. often people get overly emotional about technology these days which is not smart. ponte is right its another tool and can be useful. but lets all remember were making art for humans not machines. so its always going to be what a human finds compelling that draws attention. that is the real focus for concepts the new the novel the intriguing idea. techniques of any kind are only and always in service of a vision....that vision comes from what some call your god spark. and that is also what ponte was saying to you draw from the power of your name i suspect. so while acquiring technique dont forget to say something.....in your art as well. good luck

What did you start watch to start learning? And what do you regularly model?

[@practic4l349]

This is what I needed, I have barely gotten into 3d and I can wholeheartedly say, I needed to see someone work. I just needed inspiration.

[@dagoelius]

I'm in awe of your speed & design choices Ponte. Just downloaded some of the tutorials hope to get my workflow as smooth & efficient as yours someday.

[@PonteRyuurui]

gogogo!

[@MrEddie-go7dd]

As a guy who has been using Vanilla blender for years, it's a guilty pleasure of mine to watch these videos. What you do with addons is so incomprehensible for me.

[@michaeljburt]

As an exercise in insanity, try to follow along with vanilla blender and you'll see how many extra key strokes/clicks you need... takes 5 times as long to model

[@HMAnetwork]

totally agree

[@kopfdertoten466]

I admire your creativity the most. You are very good at dreaming up cool shapes to blend!

[@doodledoocg]

4:26 You can select the edges of the cutout and mark sharp, fixes shading issues

[@patrick1532]

I'm just getting into blender (again) for the sake of building a game and as an engineer by trade I didn't know there were tools that come this close to the CAD programs I use at work. This will save me a ton of time.

[@Dina_tankar_mina_ord]

YES! Im gonna just sit back and enjoy this one. thanks.

[@KarenSedrakyan-KS]

Darn, this is a new level of modeling!!!

[@Aymenplusplus]

I really enjoyed your style handling problems.

[@marcosurrealius]

Another great lesson to follow along to. I'm always picking up some new tips and tricks. Spot on.

[@michaelsmusicinstruments9980]

I like how you use the addons, great job, respect

[@iamjohn3d]

your channel is brilliant asf

[@channelname8623]

8:44 you can also just use the shear tool here for the same effect. idk why youd plug an addon for that haha. select face, go to side ortho view, ctrl + shift+ alt + s then constrain to x y or z and drag. 9:30 also this emmacro can be done with alt + e to extrude along normals. loved the tutorial though. scope came out looking super nice.

[@phil_creations]

Because it saves you some time and maschine tools has a ton of other features.

[@channelname8623]

@@phil_creations not in the examples that were shown.. they both take the same amount of time. objectively. but i have the addons and use the other features and yeah other features do save time.

[@phil_creations]

@@channelname8623 With the emmacro thing you are right, I never use this one too.

[@fiskooriginal]

Nice looking scope!

[@davebiscuits]

4:18 Was just curious if anyone else had an issue with Box cutter making cutters at an angle even when working from a specific point of view. I can reset the cutter's rotation afterwards to straighten things up, but wanted to know if I was doing something wrong to begin with.

[@eongaminq]

facing the same problem

[@qqjpd]

Very cool! this is very professional

[@krevetka7667]

Great tutorial mate! Thank god i've found you and know i'm just watching your tutorials 24/7! So i got a small (not really) problem with decal machine: when i use default blender mats on object and then use trim on some faces - everything's fine. Problems start to appear when i use custom KitOps mats: in the video when you apply trim object material and trim material unite, but in my case i got 2 separate materials. I use blender 4.2 and decal machine 2.13. Is there anything i'm missing?

[@PonteRyuurui]

Cheers mate. DM will not work wiht mats other than BSDF. Only our addon, Material Works can do that with DM. www.blenderbros.com/materialworks Also, I highly recommend you join our discord, a great place to ask questions discord.gg/cBMF9X5

[@butbietboi9369]

Hey, I'm just learned Blender for 2 months so exactly what supprise me first in this video was the short cut and some tool I've hadn't seen in that time. Are those upgrade add-ons or what? Can anyone answer for me? Btw, your video is awesome this help me a lot!

[@PonteRyuurui]

Just addons. If you have questions ask on our discord discord.gg/cBMF9X5

[@intheriches]

What kind of HDRI or background nodes were you using to achieve the cool and modern lighting? I tried but can't seem to replicate it.

[@phreakii]

Great topology.. ..

[@koshachevsky9660]

[@abdullahashrafshaabanrashd9776]

What is the name of the tool you use to clean mesh? How can i get it?

[@sqwert654]

such a nice workflow.

[@kevinpage]

Really cool and thank you! What is the difference between EM Macro and Extrude?

[@kevinpage]

Finished this now and wow - it's amazing how you can learn something every single solitary day. Like for example, at 17:35 I had no idea F could replace faces with a face. I thought you had to delete them all first. Such a small thing, but really adds to the time savings! Thanks again.

[@K31vSiy]

Would there be a reason why when applying trim sheet on a face loop 4 the first time, it changed the texture for the whole object? I have this problem only at 26:16 so far. the rest of my objects don't face the same problem

[@K31vSiy]

separating the object body works (texture does not change for the whole object), but i still don't get why the error occurred

[@PonteRyuurui]

@@K31vSiy 1st trim hold alt

[@K31vSiy]

@@PonteRyuurui I do press that but it doesn't work as consistently. It still turns to the example sheet from time to time. Does my blender version have something to do with it? (i have 3.6 lst) edit: followed 29:31 to 29:54, so far it works but the color was not as the same (not a problem)

why multiple trimsheets are not working on a object ? i followed through the entire video iam stuck at 40:25 .

[@richardroche1463]

Ryuurui, first I want to thank you for all of your tutorials. I finished this model but I'd like to keep it as an asset what would be the best way? I mean do I have to keep everything from this file and try to mark that as an asset?

[@PonteRyuurui]

game asset?

[@richardroche1463]

@@PonteRyuurui No not a game asset just so I can add it to anything else I suppose. I'd like to keep the details.

@@richardroche1463I dont use asset library so not sure whats possible in 4.0, ask on our discord

[@prodbyplayboii]

how to confirm the ngon cut, when i press left mouse button couple of times it cancels

[@TiredCommentary99]

Is there a point to modeling like this? other than showcase concept?

[@earth355]

There is no point. U won't get clean geometry anyways so might as well go to zbrush and do these shapes with sculpting tools and clipping tools.. which is way more intuitive.

[@jesulayomi5148]

The speed Goddamn

[@burgerboy1355]

i was fricking out when i saw the thumbnail i was like how is he gonna make that but he's just adding boolean's without giving a shit about the topo

Just asking is it worth modeling in blender even if isn't designed in CAD? Thanks!

[@nemoplay885]

Отлично как всегда!!! Только вот это просто под рендер моделька? Еë же никак в движек не перенести с этими текстурами?

[@Zity0n]

is it some tool/plugin you use to cut the mesh?

[@PonteRyuurui]

vid description mate, hard ops, boxcutter, machine tools, mesh machine, decal machine, and currently also our plugin, matrial works

[@Deltarr777]

Thank you for the tutorial ! Very useful. One question: what settings do you use for the render (lighting, hdri, ...) ? I'm pretty new to blender and I struggle to get the same result as you in the viewport shading or full render. Thank you

[@PonteRyuurui]

easy, cycles, gpu, 300 samples, and turn on denoise, done + you should also play with light paths

[@emmanuelherman6925]

Can this be usefull for a game? or should i do changes on the mesh?

[@cr3d294]

Hey this is cool but what if the pipeline requires you to take this model and move it to a UE5 pipeline and the only texturing suite they want you to work with is Substance Painter? Like I get Blender is a cool program but a lot studios work with various programs and unless you learn to create your asset in a universal way you're bound to run into serious issues.

[@PonteRyuurui]

Use your brain and tell me what would you do.

[@Machinify]

16:42 how did you do this?

[@marsmotion]

how would you asses the plugin fluent vis a v hard opps?

[@PonteRyuurui]

I can read hard ops, but the other part of your sentence is smudged and hard to decipher

[@suburbansamurai3560]

I purchased the trim sheet pack, but about 70% of the trim sheets apply themselves distortedly to the whole mesh instead of the strip of quads I have selected. I'm assuming it's some sort of setting I have turned on that's causing the trim sheets to function incorrectly, and not a fault of the trim sheet pack, as they work just fine in the video. Do you have any suggestions on how to fix this?

[@PonteRyuurui]

yes, learn how to use DM, i have numerous vids on this kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKOcnnl6rdqpibM

Im having the same problem, spending hours trying to solve this. getting really fed up with it, did you solve it?

[@suburbansamurai3560]

@@matthewclarke7318 Yes, it's explained in the video Ponte linked. You have to hold 'alt' when you select your first trim sheet to make it apply to the specific line of polygons on the mesh. Any following trim sheets added to the same mesh, you do not have to hold alt.

[@matthewclarke7318]

@@suburbansamurai3560 Thanks for the reply. Not sure what was happening with my model, I couldnt get DM to apply the trim proprerly on a specific piece of mesh. I ended up re modelling that section and Now its working. :)
