[@mikewalsh8041]

Using the False Color and Exposure is going to save a lot of time in Photoshop! ❣One tip that has also saved me time is to assign CTRL+A to the Search function in a node editor (shader or geometry). To set it up, open a node editor, SHIFT+A, right-mouse click on the Search area then click CTRL+A to assign the shortcut. It's only one less click saved but it makes building node trees just a little bit easier.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks, glad you like it and thanks for your tip!

[@FluxStage]

Oh thank you! Was just thinking about that last night! Great one!

[@mickyr171]

The best tip ive found lately is changing the sync mode in the playback menu on the timeline from sync to audio or play every frame to frame dropping, it allows real time playback even if the viewport frame rate is 15 fps, saved me tons of time rendering just to see what something would look like at 60 fps lol

[@KaizenTutorials]

That's a really great tip! Thanks for sharing it. ❣

[@sdrawkcabdaernacuoy]

Thanks so much for your tip about using the normal map for the tree image! I didn't get it at first, so I tried it out and it's much easier to see how well it works in my own blend file.

[@KaizenTutorials]

You’re welcome! It’s a strange concept ofcourse but it really does work and makes things a lot easier.

[@Vital_Struj]

Thank you for sharing this tips with the community and here's my tip. One little-known modeling tool is the Bend tool, which doesn't have its own T-panel icon and can be launched with Shift+W. In edit mode, you can obviously bend your meshes with it, but it also works in object mode: by selecting multiple objects and pressing Shift+W, you can "bend" the space between them in some way, and this is very convenient in some situations.

[@KaizenTutorials]

That sounds super interesting! Thanks for sharing this great tip. ❣

[@ImNorman]

Great tips as always. Another one of my favs: To easily setup a PBR material (automatically setting all the individual images to their correct inputs) make sure Node Wrangler is enabled, click on the Principal BSDF node and hit Ctrl+Shift+T (on windows). A file dialog will appear. Browse to your PBR texture folder and select all the appropriate image files (AO, Gloss, DSP, Normal, etc) and click Principle Texture Setup. All the images will be plugged into their correct places automatically.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Good stuff!

[@themaddragonnonbusiness8842]

❣️Hey! This is probably obvious to more experienced Blender users, but when I was learning for the first time this helped a lot. If you add in an image to the Image Texture node, it is loaded into the memory of your computer and you can access it from the drop-down instead of navigating to it again. This also works with text fonts, modifier textures, and a lot more. Thought this might help beginners ❣️

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks for sharing! Appreciate it 🙏🏻

[@avatr7109]

For the fonts i have to navigate thorugh folders the dropdown only has 1 font

[@themaddragonnonbusiness8842]

@@avatr7109 What I mean is, once you add the font (or image), it is available to use again without navigating through folders. Say I add Calibri Font to a text object, I can add it easily to another text object, but it has to already be in use in your scene. I hope that I explained it well enough!

[@tashitobgay2000]

Damn that normal map...saw that on twitter and was wondering how to achieve it......thank you so much..

[@KaizenTutorials]

[@KaizenTutorials]

Yeah using False Color = pro level Blender stuff!

[@CaptSanchez]

😯❣your tip on false colors was new to me and I've been using Blender for 2 years! My tip for Blender: there are hundreds of great add-ons for blender; don't buy more than 1 at a time! Each addon has its own learning curve and takes time to gain proficiency.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks! Always cool to hear I can still show experienced people stuff to do in Blender :-) and thanks for sharing your tip! It’s great!

[@Alloybeats]

Tip with the camera: 1. select camera 2. move the mouse and choose the angle you like 3. press ctrl+alt+num0 and magic, the camera is directed where you look

[@KaizenTutorials]

Yeah that’s awesome! Thanks!

[@superchango4784]

Hi Snikers!, I´m having problems with these one, for some time. When I press the short cut, the camera apperas near where i wont but in different angle, If you know whcih could be the problem i would really apreciate!

[@Alloybeats]

@@superchango4784 you can choose the camera angle, in the camera settings, select the axis and change the values. if it doesn't help, you can use the rotation of the camera itself (click on the camera, press the R button and rotate the mouse. Just in case, I'll attach a video about the camera as a tool in a blender :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4qTZZtqqs-lors

No problem 👍 hope it turns out great!

[@kaito462]

love all these tips man 👌my favourite tip is the normal map, that's so cool, now i don't have to wait extra 4hrs 🤣 I also have a tip for you guys, you can use the Quick Favorites Menu to really speed up your work flow. - Right Click on the tool you would like to add. - Select Add to Favorites Menu from the dropdown - Press Q to show the Quick Favorites Menu All of the tools you add will be stored there for quick and easy access, you should really add the tools you use the most. I love this menu, it saves me a few clicks trying to find the tool you need. Hope this helps ❣

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks a lot! Yeah the normal imposters are a real time saver. It's great! And thanks for sharing your own tip. The Quick Favorites are awesome and a great way of saving a little bit of time!

[@ArtistryMusication]

It works great in the shaders tab as well for all those nodes you use all the time!

[@tallyman138]

When using the Bevel-modifier on 'tricky' objects, try out the Percent-setting instead of Offset! This way you'll get smaller bevels where the mesh is dense and bigger ones where the mesh is not so dense. This gives you a more natural look on the one hand and saves you from fiddling around to avoid overleaping edges...❣

[@KaizenTutorials]

That’s a very good tip, thanks!

[@MrWoundedalien]

Excellent!!!

[@А.С-е7р]

❣️One of my favourite - it's possible to change similar parameters for several objects simultaneously. Say you have 1000 objects with different modifiers, but subsurface modifier is common for them all. At some point you've found, that you need to decrease number of subdivisions by 1. To save you incredible amount of clicks, you can just select these objects, type desired value and hit Alt+Enter. Blender will calculate the difference between previous value and new one and subtract (or add, if you increasing) same difference to other objects modifiers. But if your objects has different parameters and you want to set them all to be a same fixed number, you just need to Alt+Click the field before typing there, and after entering values hit Enter.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Wow that’s really cool! Thanks for sharing

[@andreasnoutschmidt9964]

Shift + Right Click sets the 3D cursor to your mouse pointer. Then hit "." -> "3D cursor" and use it as a pivot point. I also have "Set Origin to 3D cursor" in my Quick Favorites. Comes in handy more often one would think.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Nice one! 🚀

[@jimmysgameclips]

Favourite tip? Well I use G + G to slide vertices all the time, and you can hit alt to slide vertices past the A to B points you are sliding them between

[@KaizenTutorials]

Funny enough this is an exact tip in #3 of my tips series! Great one for sure.

[@yuvaraj8492]

My Tip :- Convert to mesh to 'Apply all modifiers'.

[@عبدو2024]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat????! Thank you 😂😭😭😂😂

[@KaizenTutorials]

[@Outmind01]

Thank you for the false color tip! Just the other day I was making a scene and trying to expose it correctly. I kept typing in stuff like levels and exposure metering in Blender but didn't get any good results. This is exactly what I needed then & will be using in the future.

[@KaizenTutorials]

You're so welcome!

[@agileassassin2138]

❣️: After pressing I to inset a face, before applying the inset you can hold control to sort of “extrude” the inset, making it move up and down from its normals. I normally recommend to use this as though you were going to extrude a face to move it from its normals other than having to extrude then scaling from normal.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Great tip, thanks!

[@ImNorman]

Another simple tip I use a lot is inverse view. You probably know you can hit numbers on the num pad to get front, side and top views (1 for front, 3 for side, 7 for top) but if you hit 9 after, you can get the inverse of whatever view you are in. So hit 1 for front view, then 9 for back view. 7 for top view, then 9 for bottom. Etc ect and so on and so forth.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Yeah I use this a lot aswell. Love it!

[@Outmind01]

Same works with Control + the number whose orientation you want the reverse of.

[@lavarf8050]

You are a Fucking genius... I've watched loads of these videos now and I am crying with laughter each time. Keep doing what you're doing I haven't laughed this much since I was in high school. Just totally hilarious keep them coming

[@KaizenTutorials]

Uh, yes

[@pamhampton2588]

TIP ❣ Accidently found what used to be "layers" in Blender. In object mode hit any #key from above the letter. If you select 1, you'll see only the first Collection in your scene, 2 only the second, etc. If you click a number and then hold shift key to select another, both collections will show.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Nice! Thanks for sharing 🙌🏻

[@lawrencedoliveiro9104]

I find those digit-keystrokes very annoying now. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to disable them all; I had to write a Python script to do it.

[@michaelpenco546]

Thanks much once more, buddy. Well appreciated!

[@KaizenTutorials]

You bet!

[@neon-kitty]

Something I discovered embarrasingly late was that pressing G twice enters Edge Slide or Vertex Slide mode. Really handy!

[@KaizenTutorials]

Yeah it’s an amazing shortcut! Use it a lot!

[@Arthr0]

❣In Edit > Preferences > System > Memory and limits -- you can increase undo steps which is very useful. ❣I changes default shortcut for W to wireframe mode which is very useful, you can see polygons of subdiv, multires, decimate modifier in single click.

[@markfong7764]

I like the Tree tip the best

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks!

[@DarkSwordsman]

I remember learning that tree tip a little while ago. It is super cool and I actually used it to generate trees for my Unity VRChat world. I think the only issue is that when light hits the back of the face, it acts strangely. There is some method of using a mask and what not that can help with that but I forgot how it works.

[@KaizenTutorials]

It's really cool! I think in games they often use something called Octahedral Impostors. They're basically 8 sided impostor images of an object. Unreal has a tool to do it I believe, so I would assume Unity has something aswell. This will make it look like an ACTUAL 3D object (especially from far away) and works better with lighting!

[@vectorr6651]

Thank you sir.

[@nirmansarkar]

Tip 3 ..... Awesome.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thank you!

[@usamaejaz1195]

❣Cool and quite interesting tutorial and there are bunch of cool blender tips here in comments I read. My blender tip is: In edit mode if you want to work on any face from top view either it is side face or in any direction, just select that face and press "Shift+7" and boom it will show that face from top view and you can easily work on it whether you want to cut that face or any other thing you want in a better way.❣

Wow that’s a very cool tip! Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thanks for sharing!

[@daxmarkland4367]

In the section where you discuss false color, at one point you pan around your scene. I assume you're in cycles mode but instead of the grainy/firefly display that resolves itself, yours has an almost impressionist/painterly effect that resolves itself. Am I wrong? Is that an addon or setting? It's much more pleasing to the eye.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Ah! This is a comment I've gotten several times and the solution is extremely simple; what you're seeing is just denoising. Viewport denoising. So in Cycles, enable that setting, in your render settings, and it should behave just like in my video! I love using it because, as you said, it's much more pleasing to the eye!

[@travisyee7278]

❣A very useful shortcut is Ctrl + Alt + numpad 0, which snaps the camera to your current view. I also created a custom shortcut to enable/disable lock camera to view that's very similar, Ctrl + Alt + Shift + numpad 0, because it's a pain in the ass to always have to open the N panel and click View + Lock View to Camera. We constantly move and tweak the camera generally so it's good to have quick commands for it. I hate it when I forget to disable it in the menu, have the perfect camera angle, and then accidentally move it, and having a quick command makes it easier to avoid this in my experience.❣

An application template is a subdirectory containing its own userpref.blend and startup.blend files. It can also have a custom splash screen and Python code. The subdirectory name (used as the template name) appears as an additional item in the “New” menu. This is all explained further in the Blender manual.

[@KaizenTutorials]

Thank you! I'm not really sure what you mean. If you mean how to set up the camera for creating it; just go to front view with numpad 1, hit CTRL+SHIFT+0 to align the camera to the current view, open up the object properties and make sure the camera is at 0 on X location, 0 on Z location and a negative number on the Y location. Now move the camera back or forward on the Y axis to frame your object. You can make the render square by going to the render/output properties and setting a square value like 1080 by 1080 pixels. Now make sure to go to the workbench render engine, enable the normal matcap shader and voila you're done to render out the normal imposter image.

Thanks. How do you save the exposure adjustments to an exr file? Whenever I change the exposure in Blender and save the render as exr I only get the result as if the exposure was still at 0.

[@KaizenTutorials]

It saves all the data, but you have to re-expose it afterwards in your compositing software. Here's a thread on it! blender.stackexchange.com/questions/214182/blender-exposure-not-affecting-output-on-openexr-file

PNG or EXR won't bake in filmic and exposure settings, TIFF format will do that. It's still recommend to render out in exr and readjust the exposure, contrast etc in post

[@DanielPartzsch]

@@freewaytf yeah my workaround is now to use the gaffer addon adjust the exposure there and then you can apply this visual change to the actual light values and the exposure gets reverted back to normal.
