How to Make a Couch in Blender (Part 1)

[@McQueenProd]

Thank you for NOT speeding over the 'simple' and 'dull' modelling parts of the tutorial series. It's incredibly useful for Blender beginners

[@imnemo2327]

Yes and it took me 2 hours

[@AtheistReligionIsCancer]

I am thinking the "snap t face" function is handy in a lot of cases where the material can be made very precisely formed, like steel, which can be worked to a precision of few thousands of a milimeter. But I am also thinking, that with materials that aren't perfect, maybe it doesn't ruin everything that it's a little bit off, becaue that's how it would be in reality.

13:00 If anyone having a problem with mirroring the legs which I did. Check the geometry's origin point and F3, set origin, origin to geometry. bye

I am not a beginner, i have been working in the industry for 20 yrs now. One thing i like to do is to relax and follow tutorials like you know nothing. It is almost like trying to be a noob. The good thing about that it will bring you down to the earth and you will learn a lot of a things. So for this i restarted to work on this with the new blender 4, and guess what the new snap features came in handy a lot. Anyways Guru, thanks for these tutorials you put out into the world which is helping a lot of people including me improve their knowledge and workflow. For newbies how to use the snap feature is for eg if you need to move and you press g and then press the alphabet relative to the axis you want to move, if it is x axis press x on your keyboard. Now press B and you will be able to select either a corner or vertex point or and edge and then move that to snap it to another object vertex or edge.

I was literally on my way to bed. Now I'm watching how to model a couch. So therapeutic. I don't even have Blender installed right now. :)

[@smitbangare9526]

Be sure to put chair on top of it

[@TeenstarletsInfo2015]

Andrew's tutorials are so refreshingly good compared to all the other stuff that try to model things you don't need or try to model a most complicated scene in 60 seconds or tell us for the hundredth time to become a patreon and click the bell icon and so on. This here is how tutorials should be. Thanks a lot!

[@Marphic_]

First the doughnut, then the chair, and now a couch. Thank you for making these tutorials and explaining them so effectively. Normally I would get bored to death and lose attention, but you're so engaging by the way you're describing each step and restating the shortcut keys as you go. Your stories are also great to listen to- It gives me a chance to take a breather and stay motivated!

[@nicomal]

I really dont think the modeling part is boring, I think is actually relaxing, it's like colouring those mandala things, but more rewarding. And watching you do it, I always learn something. Thank you for your teachings.

[@sesshydezzy]

The beginning isn't boring to me, thanks for taking the time to show everything. It's appreciated :)

[@nathalik1]

as always im so grateful for having this tutorial for free! I somehow managed to mess this up so much, i had to redo so many times, but i feel like i finally made something sofa-like.

[@paulbottomley42]

If you click "display only axis aligned" in the image properties, the reference images will only show up when you hit the numpad keys. It's so nice to not have them in the way when you're just looking around the model (they're essentially worse than useless anyway since nothing lines up outside of the direct side, front or top views), but pop up when you need them. Also when your reference has both a front and a back elevation, you can choose which side it shows up from. Which is super handy

[@squackles]

Eyy! Hope you're doing well with your child and all :) Would just like to thank you for being THE main contributor for me switching to Blender, transferring from Maya has been an absolute breeze thanks to you and a few other youtubers. I'ts actually helped my career in a big way and I just wanted to thank you for that.

[@razeezar]

I've never used Maya, but I enjoyed this Maya Pro's experience using Blender for the first time : kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5qvcp-ngrOHeas

[@squackles]

@H D Well someone's talking out of their arse. Why are you even watching Blender tutorials if you think Blender's garbage?

[@garymesser7492]

Really appreciate you taking the slow and informative approach to your tutorials. The more detail about the process the better as far as I am concerned. It may seem slow as far as you are concerned when it comes to making he tutorials but from the learning end it pays off in the long run. Thanks.

[@fizzylazer]

no no it's ok you guys I'm sure he meant to say "Vertex" mode instead of "Verticee" mode.

[@fluffehpancakes1102]

Accept the fact he said it man its ok

[@EchoHeo]

ooh he did something called back-formation! it's when you make a new word out of an existing word by analogy by removing a supposed affix. he took the plural form of "vertex", "vertices" /ˈvəɹtɪsiz/, (subconsciously) assumed the /-z/ at the end was a plural suffix, and removed it to get the supposed singular form that is "verticee" /ˈvəɹtɪsi/

[@carlgraham7]

While it's technically “vertex”, Andrew is still the GOAT for Blender tuts. So he can call it whatever he wants as far as I'm concerned.

[@ghaznavipc]

verticie is "face" old name

[@swiftyhackz951]

i'd rather call it edit mode

[@RantVoidTiggs]

I am enjoying these next-stage tutorials. Unlike the donut tutorial, I’m not following the. step by step but I am watching them in full. I’ve been doing a few post-donut projects if my own and these modelling tutorials are really helping show me tips, shortcuts and corrections to improve my results. Thanks for all the hard work!

[@riverandthefox2344]

Andrew consistently saving me from lockdown maddness - love these tutorials thankyou :)

[@Jey187]

I am on the video before the last one on the donut and I appreciate your work. Thanks a lot! I started learning blender with this series and I've learn so much. I created two plates(one by myself), a donut, a cup, a counter top, a wall, coffee, and I made an animation and some days ago I couldn't even move the blender interface . I will surely check that video after completimg the light series you made. So yeah! Continue with the amazing job!!! I am so so so glad I came across your channel!

[@baderalzoughby2785]

i completed the donut tutorial, and ive been using blender for over a month and now its getting easier and easier, thanks for the awsome tutorials mate

[@cargoltreubanyacat]

If you have problems when you add the mirror to the back part of the sofa because it makes your back part not as long as the bottom part of the sofa, put the origin point to the geometry (with bottom part selected, click right boton-->Set origin-->Origin to Geometry). The center point of your bottom part of the sofa wasn't in the middle.

[@osobaseejale2083]

Thanks alot

[@tarwiswilfred133]

If you have rotated the Couch feet (11:20) in Edit mode you wont be able to double tap X (11:50) to get the local axis because when you transform in edit mode the object origin is not transformed

[@sudhanshu1709]

Whenever he laughed sarcasticly he managed to predict with precision ,things that I didn't do correctly while following the tutorial. He is a legend ! 😇

I don't think I ever commented but damn you made me find a new hobby in life, thank you Andrew, even just watching your tutorials is fun. Also someone mentioned a weapon tutorial next time so that would be cool

[@WajdiGary]

Your voice and your accent and your way of teaching is clear and easy to understand even for elementary class which i love it so much because i can't learn fast, so i like to listen carefully and try it again and again until i can do it. It feels so good that first time in my life i actually designed a 3D. i dunno how to explain my feeling but you are the hero of Blender!

[@javierfernandez3727]

2:29 You can also untick the checkbox "Align to View" on the top right corner while loading the image, and it won't align to camera ;)

Alt+R and Alt+G will set the image to the origin... Aaand... Make a cube, bring it above the axis, select Vertice, snap 3D cursor to it change Transform Pivot to 3d, align the image and ZAP! scale the image in 1 singe go... thanks again!

Greatest tutorials in KZbin

[@kj3d812]

For me, the sofa legs worked better to first apply the scale, *before* extruding, etc. Then, *before* rotating it 45 degrees, I modeled the shape according to the blueprint, rather than trying to model the taper after rotating it. Also, not sure if Andrew will get to this in a later tutorial, but the legs are actually two parts: the main chrome section plus a black leveler (not sure if that's what it is, but that's what it looks like in the reference photos), which is cylindrical. For us nitpicky perfectionists. ☺
