This deserves so much more recognition! This is my first ever blender build and you helped me make it look better than I thought I could ever be!! Thanks Grant!

[@supabass4003]

Hey Grant I am trying to get back into Blender after a year hiatus... more tutorials like this on basic modelling are always good for me!

[@projekt3100]

Nice tutorial. Blender beginner here from Cinema 4D. Easy to follow and I love it.

[@shahendamohamed3212]

this is the best youtube channel for blender begienners

[@TheDJkarsy]

Grant mate, you're an absolute legend. I'm not really a beginner so much anymore but I still watch these beginner friendly tutorials you do because I like to see the way you work. You're so patient, I can tell from your videos! haha

[@grabbitt]

👍🙂

Cool video. I recently started sculpting this type of 3D models. I chose low poly precisely because it is easier to make and looks delicious. Thanks to this video, I was really able Learn the basics throughout the video. Yes, of course, copying an action is not self-taught, but if you do this project day after day, you can see how easy it is to confuse combinations. And yes, I didn’t say at the beginning, I have almost 0 experience in blender. But I think if you surrender to your fantasies and sculpt and study the action from your own experience, I think you can achieve a lot. I think after several such “sessions” to make games for the arsenal of assets for one game that we plan to develop with my friend during this year. We'll at least give it a try, thanks author. Good luck everyone :3

[@ReceiveMusic]

That was a very quick and easy model. The only thing I got stuck was figuring out how to get Ambient Occlusion in Maya. So looking at some Arnold tutorials, its best not to bother with ambient occlusion here. Self notes: Open render settings -> AOVs Tab -> Add diffuse, diffuse_direct, and diffuse inderect into active AOVs.

[@dirkvoltaar]

I really enjoyed this tutorial. Thanks Grant! It was perfect for a relative newcomer to Blender with some familiarity with the interface and Object and Edit modes. I was able to follow along pretty well and completed what I’ll call Barrel 1, which is one mesh object with two materials applied to it. It’s nice to work on a short exercise as a break from longer projects - like CG Boost’s Blender Fundamentals course - to bring a project through to a nice end result. I’ll be working on the more complex Barrel 2, which will set up my first proper foray into sculpting. Thanks again Grant.

[@leinadreign3510]

*deletes default cube* Argh, what is this sudden pain in my chest? ^^ I really like this one. Especially when you build upon it in a later tutorial, the sculpting one. This shows, that nothing is a dead end and you can build up on everything. Im maybe more into the 3D printable stuff, but this is such a good workflow. As a beginner, you usually dont know where to start and many others on youtube would be, after 2 mins run time, already at the "that is our barrel here" stage. You take your time and this is super helpful

[@arts_by_abiiiiid]

Gradually falling in love with all your tutorials❤

[@DeimosPC]

Grant, I haven't done anything 3D related in about 10 years. Life took over and I could no longer enjoy my hobby. Finally back to being able to chill and model stuff again. Your video is the first I came across and it has really helped jog my memory on shortcuts and the basics! Thank you so much! Also, don't take offense but your voice reminds me of Neil from Art Attack, not sure if you ever watched that as a kid lol.

[@blipuss1622]

[@ukiyopp]

at 7:44 when i bevel the edge and delete the faces it only creates that triangle shape on the inside and not on the outside of the barrel, not sure how to fix it!

[@grabbitt]

You probably have some doubles

[@randombrandon3085]

Hey can I get some assistance? at 4:44 when you scale your barriers it doesn't connect with the main barrel part. Mine does and it just doesn't let me edit it good.

[@ejorange1]

Might be a bit late answer however I will explain for anyone who wonders that. I think you forgot to extrude first. Press "E" on your keyboard to extrude, then press "S" for scale mode. Now you can "Shift+Z" to exclude scaling from Z axis.

[@janwesleyalipio8464]

Good stuff

[@Immushfiqurrahman]

It would be good if you can show us how to make a isometric Room for a begginer

[@michellenotmejk]

Contrl+B V also allows you to bevel a vertex.

[@axelruiz3394]

For the people that had the problem with bevel around the 7:47 the first time i made the barrel i had the problem but the second time i didn't idk why but that how i fix it

[@axelruiz3394]

the problem is whn you delete it only the delete outside or inside never both

[@WildWestyy]

at 7:47 Im found trouble to bevel it, as in the video his bevel goes down but mine doesn't

[@grabbitt]

You might have some doubles

[@markkim4469]

Had the same problem. But the solution for me was turned out to be this: go to vertex select - select all - merge points - merge by distance

[@pathumshehan9187]

4:47 is this the same thing as extrude along normals?

[@grabbitt]

Very similar but not quite

[@HicSid]

Marvelous 🌟

[@wachtelhans]

Asking for help. The bevel tool just doesnt seem to work right(in mutlible occasions). I tried to check proplems with normals, if verticies are doubled and used all Transform. Nothing helped and I tried remaking it suddenly the bevel worked, after folowing along on the next step the bevel didnt work again. Did I press something on accident? With workarounds I made my barrel quite happy with it. But it would be nice to use the techniques from the video.

[@grabbitt]

Probably got some doubles

[@axelruiz3394]

@@grabbitt what that?

[@AndrewAspiringGamer]

Is anybody having an issue with bevels only happening in 2D? Instead of getting a nice v cut in the mesh/wood of the barrel, I just get a 2D hold in the top. I think I'm in all the right modes that Grant uses in the video.

[@grabbitt]

Apply your scale

[@grabbitt]

@FailingMeeple101 object mode ctrl a

[@grabbitt]

@FailingMeeple101 in object mode. Pres ctrl a. Then apply the scale. Then go back to edit mode and bevel

The sculpting video will demand the pre-emptive warning of: "This will be and look much better if you have a pad" :P

[@wickedmoul482]

My extrusion for the notch is not cutting into the edge of the barrel, am I doing anything wrong?

[@harrisonlee1]

hello mr abbitt. i find your tutorials very helpful. do you have more like this one which can be done very quickly. i find it to be good fun practice. the chess pieces were also very helpful. thank you so much for your videos.

[@grabbitt]

Check my different playlists

[@palpypalps6707]

A few problem came up, first is aligning the sprouting face after extruding the top of the barrel, I think it's just skill issue tho. The other problem seems to be a doubles problem the same that another user had here, so I ended up using the non separated model. Last one is in the brace, alt + left click doesn't work and only select few faces, I don't know what causes it, it worked fine on the wooden part but not the metal braces, I ended up manually selecting the faces that wasn't selected. Anyone has a solution? Edit: The doubles problem is solved using the merging by distance option, but I haven't found the solution to the loop selection. I noticed that the loop wouldn't select the faces with vertex bevel on them, the work around I found rather than manually selecting is just using ctrl +, but that's it.
