So?

[@CC-cb9mm]

For anyone stuck at 02:22. Once you've made the house with the roof, duplicate it and move the roof away from the house before separating it. So, you still have the house with the original roof as an object and the new roof as a separate object. Then reposition it over the original house, slightly higher on the Z axis. This will stop the problem with the boolean not cutting off the clapboard. Hope this helps.

That's a pretty good timing actually. The firs few minutes should be easy, and then getting more challenging. This isn't for absolute beginner, but it's a nice way to get into independent thinking as an intermediate. He has other tutorials that are great to start with, and will get you on your way to look for solutions while learning the tools. I also like Mike King's tutorials for that. He doesn't have the same level of expertise, but he explains things nicely. Sometimes I like less advanced guys, because they can still relate to the early learning curve.

[@ryanpatton1795]

@@ryanpatton1795 so many things could go sideways and I am here for that exact reason too don't worry, maybe there's just one detail we missed, for example for the modeling I'm almost done with the walls and boolean settings but for some reason the part right under the roof remains empty.

You can also press Alt while edge sliding it's more handy.

[@nothingnothing3211]

Works well while sliding outwards and horrible while sliding inwards because each side behaves according to nearby vertices. Their pace are different if their shape are different.

I used to create a new transform orientation for each edge to do that, turns out it could be done with one keystroke. That's massive.

This is so informative for any photorealistic scene. The materials are layers and have imperfections of their very own. Before, I didn't even think about making materials.

Have you heard of the photoshop guy, Benny Productions on KZbin? That guy gets people to send in their art and drawings. All he does is add some shading and colorwork and then sells that art for a profit on Displate. Now, that is heinous. And yet people keep sending in their art in hopes that they'll be featured. The Blender Guru isn't anywhere near that. Not to mention, I learned quite a bit making my donut.

[@Nevarek_]

In video games, a scale reference player is usually going to be 1.8m. Width and depth are usually going to be 0.6m. If you don't have a reference, using a primitive cube with the right dimensions will be enough to start modelling. You should also consider jump height (its apex) and crouch height POV. As always, rely on your particular camera in your project as the source of truth for look and feel.

If anyone is like me and wondering how he made those points in his node links: -Shift + right mouse drag across a link to add a reroute node. -select the reroute node and hit G to move it to a better location so the links don't overlap or go behind other nodes, etc. making your node network a confusing overlapping mess. They're called reroute nodes because you can also use them to send links out to multiple nodes from the same node. They support one input but multiple outputs.

@@dingustm617 how can you call him a shill? I'm gonna assume it's because he's promoting Poliigon? and so what if he is, it's a bloody good ad for the business. Look, you get the main tool for free, you get a brilliant walkthrough / tutorial FOR FREE because Andrew spent his SPARE TIME creating it, and let's not forget he'd have practised a few times before getting it right, then recording it, then editing it, then uploading it. FOR FREE. If I was as good as Blender Guru I'd charge through Patreon for my time, so I'm eternally grateful he shares his knowledge and time for free.

[@millie2079]

@@dingustm617 Default Cube and Blender Guru are so polar opposite that you shouldn't even be on this thread giving DC a shout. And he'd probably be embarrassed by you doing so. This is a community where people share their knowledge and expertise, not bitch and howl at others' who are more successful. I'd say DC's tutorial's are more akin to someone like erindale XYZ. BG is more about creating a 'scene' from start-to-finish in the most direct way using accessible terminology. And there's tutorials where he even suggests using other resource sites, not just Poliigon. DC's stuff is more like abstract techniques and such. BG. is more for everyday artists looking at the entire workflow. If you're whining about someone not uploading enough then you really are emblematic of the problem content creators face - incessant demand for free material. Why don't you create amazing tutorials and share them so we can all see how great you are?

@@dingustm617 If you don't want to see this video, that's fine. Then just don't watch it. But you don't have to tell anyone who doesn't share your opinion that only your opinion matters. These guys just enjoy Andrew's videos and I think they are not going to change their minds just because a single person on the internet brays out their position and thinks their point of view is the only right one. I can't believe I wasted my time and poor English (*cough* Google translate *cough*) with an incredibly long comment :D

[@MelHamer]

@@dingustm617 What we have here is that Andrew's tutorials are no longer for you. Your experience has probably surpassed what he can teach you. That's fine, simply move on - you don't need to comment. They are for me though and if anything I get a lot more from the slower and deliberate stepwise tutorials than I do even from this one. I've spent two hours replicating the first few minutes of this tutorial simply because the speed of Andrew's tutorials nowadays is way too fast and a minor mistake early on can have serious implications later on (e.g. 1: by me not duplicating the roof the later boolean step didn't work at all, e.g. 2: by Andrew rushing past the initial siding creation, I missed the point where he's selected the whole siding before pressing Alt+S so all my sidings, bar the one I initially angled, were going in weird directions). I would not nearly had as many issues if Andrew did his longer form tutorials. If you find Default Cubes tutorials better, great then his style works for you. I've tried following his tutorials and although inspiring, my level of knowledge of Blender isn't there yet and I can't keep up. One day I hope to move on from Andrew's tutorials and move onto the next level, but he'll always have my respect because he helped me get the basic concepts. As for being a shill, who isn't? If they're not a shill for another company, they're begging for their own Patreon, subscribers on KZbin or shilling their own products. As long as we're all getting the content for free who cares? Support or don't support, it's your choice. Your comments throughout this thread haven't been helpful, just the lowest form of trolling. If you don't find these tutorials useful, find someone else's who are useful to you and allow others to enjoy a different style of learning. Other than being busy, I should imagine Andrew doesn't do as many tutorials because of comments from people like you. So, because you don't get as much out of them we all have to suffer.

I extremely love it what you made is my favorite game I’m so happy for this tutorial 🐍🍃

[@williamv.b6199]

Man I have no blender experience and watching this start to finish was confusing but also inspiring

[@Vidgamechx]

I have no CLUE what I just watched, but I'm glad I did! Stuff like this is so awesome! I'm glad this was suggested to me! Shout out to people that do this on the regular because whew! Great video ❤️❤️😎

[@somename371]

Your tutorials are unbelievable, I always learn something new :)

[@Mycelium]

Great video, lots of useful tips and tricks! Definitely an improvement over the cabin video, one of your best videos so far.

[@TheSoSerdo]

The color burn thing is very smart! I've been using vertex painting for a while but it usually has that issue of the smooth transition. I'll be using that in the future for sure!

[@foxxxtheworst]

I think this simple video will be game changer for me!

[@tarettime9392]

8:30 this is why I watch these even though I've been using blender for 3+ years. I've been using shades of grey into a color ramp then mixing them In a very specific order to get the same result. It's no messy and not friendly. I never once thought of using RGB instead. No matter how experienced you are there's new tricks to be learned

[@juanantonio-7204]

Hey, can I ask you a question. Something is wrong with my workflow. When I plug in the normals from the PBR MIXER into the PRINCIPLE shader, my mesh becomes a BRIGHT RED. Do you know how to fix this issue?

[@tarettime9392]

@@juanantonio-7204 are you plugging the map directly into the normal input or are you putting it into the normal map node then the normal input?

[@SimFiftyFifty]

Did you actually achieve to get the same result with the color burn blending ? i tried hundred of times and i still come out with a shitty blending (it just randomly paint some big chunks) i do not get it.

on the color ramp I change the thing next to RGB constant it to ease. you can through the options to your likening. @@3dmockingbird

I'm absolutely unqualified to be here, having never touched Blender in my life, but i'm enjoying this journey very much !

Once, you’ve proven that you are the true master! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 thanks for the amazing tutorial. Gotta try that one ASAP!

[@HannesDollinger]

I miss your face in the corner! Seriouly, This is amazing. This is a perfect tutorial for advanced users. Pacing, step by step explanation and detail are great. Just short of 1 point for chapter marks, specially to the node tree, this a 99 of 100. Thank you so much.

[@anegg632]

I’m here to help those stuck at 1:04 , So (Choose the faces > Mesh > Seperate > Click the seperated roof > Mesh > Duplicate) Also when adding solidify, make sure to put offset to 1.0000 and turn on ”Even Thickness”

[@EmvyBeats]

Why do you separate the original roof attached to the house? is it to delete it so you don't have the hidden faces? Don't you need the roof to be attached so the Boolean works properly? you can also set the thickness in the negative direction instead of having to change the offset.

[@anegg632]

watching this made me realise how much more i need to learn and i thank you very much for giving us these videos to learn from! but when i heard about using 5 textures in 1 mesh *when i cant even use 2 properly* i felt i like i had IBS

just getting into blender now and following the donut tutorial atm, i'm loving it! always wanted to get into 3d art!
