Subbed! Within an hour, I created a corridor that looks twenty times better than anything I created before. And that's without the textures. My excitement level has been raised a few notches!

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

That makes me so happy! Thanks for watching and commenting. Check out my other longer video where I do a more indepth modeling of an interior. I also have a lot of other related scifi videos.

[@ClearTheRubble7]

@@DanielGrovePhoto Thanks! I just glanced at your spaceship interior video and bookmarked it. In the meantime I put in some corridor lighting, added textures, and am working on a normal map. It's for a sci-fi/fantasy game in BabylonJs, so the corridor has tech and "medieval" elements.

Helpful note on the video: Shift + D = Creates an unlinked copy of a mesh, meaning any future modifications you make will not affect the other copies ; ALT + D = Creates a linked copy that can be used to modify all existing copies of a particular mesh

​@@DanielGrovePhoto I'd really love to see your take on creating a scene in Blender, introducing a video to it, then transferring that over to Premiere for final editing. I've got a pretty good understanding of filming in green screen, and doing all that stuff in After Effects. But my results with transferring video over to Blender, and creating a proper scene hasn't been the greatest yet lol I'd appreciate a link to a previous video you may have, or even a video you consider putting together! I'm in film school currently, and I've found myself with a bunch of students who have a strong passion for filming on location, and focusing on the incredible shots you can get in a beautiful place. Yeeeaaa..... I'm the guy who wants to green screen it, build that amazing place, then just insert the person into it later haha

I need to rewatch this a few time in super slow motion with a notepad as you are giving way too many keyboard shortcuts for a beginner.

Nice tutorial. You need to check "Clipping" on your mirrors. And to remove the hidden faces, for lowering the poly count (which is important, because it's going to grow humongously).

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Oh yes good tips thank you. There's a lot of detail I missed or had to skip in order to keep this from being over 30 minutes. And I haven't had my style of interiors grow out of hand in terms of polygon count but they will if you use a lot of arrays and duplicates for sure.

For the second object, it would be faster to duplicate the first object and then scale it up from there.

[@sumerjacob850]

You Daniel are Genius! I was looking for tutorial for scene creating but got a whole new lesson on modeling. Looking forward to your next video. Just one question do you have to scale in sci fi environment do you have to scale items large or just camera angle that make them so big. THX

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Glad you got more than what you came for! And ask for scaling I really eyeball it at first but I also try to think in terms of actual measurements such as if the ceiling is 9 ft tall how tall would a door need to be how tall would a computer screen need to be how tall would buttons and handles need to be. I scale Things based on that. But the rules of Photography still apply what I mean by that is how close you place your camera to something will make it appear larger especially if it's a wider angle sitting. Try to use the rule of thirds to compose interesting shots and use your focal length setting on your camera to get the type of shot you want whether it's wide, medium or tight.

[@sumerjacob850]

Daniel Grove Photo, I got much much more, your table of two’s is very helpful with modelling.

[@Ssecave]

Late to the party but for the mirror, to NOT have the little face in the middle, just turn on "Clipping" in the mirror options. Also, when adding a loop cut, just left clic then right clic and it will place a loop without moving ;).

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Does clipping deal with a face in the middle? Or you mean delete the middle face AND turn on clipping? Also I use a stylus tablet and pen so for me enter works better.

[@EdKidgell]

@@DanielGrovePhoto Just select clipping. If you use Automirror it sorts these little things out for you.

[@marcwoon4664]

not sure which version of Blender you're using, but I'm using 2.83 and (I don't know if it was just me and maybe I just didn't have the settings right) at 8:30 I found that to completely remove the face, I had to also remove the 2 interconnecting vertices and the edge before I could duplicate what you had. But that aside, great tutorial

[@DarkAutumn3D]

I've been using 3DS Max, working with games engines, for 20 years or so. Modular is one of the main ways that I like to work. I guess it's because a lot of the older games engines like Source and Unreal 3 use that kind of system.

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

yeah it just makes sense if you want to use those parts later and it maintains style and consistency. Also real buildings are made with proportions and ratios too so we're use to that. I'd love to decide on an aesthetic and make a whole punch of pieces for that style. I could then use them to build various rooms and hallways for things.

[@DarkAutumn3D]

It's hard to come up with your own sort of style though which is why it can be tough to get the ball rolling lol. It needs to be a style that's universal across the various pieces and the texture pallets have to match as well. One thing that I do find kinda tricky is to do arched/curved corridors because then you're having to make the modular pieces and then sort of "bend" them around a corner xD

[@jmac6832]

After scaling those object, you should apply the scale before proceeding. You might have but it wasn't shown in this video.

[@Luvsmuzik]

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I started architectural modelling in SketchUp doing fast easy models long before I even knew what a normal was, haha. I could only do basic simple boxes and globes in Blender.....almost 20 years ago now. Since retirement I have gotten back into trying to learn something everyday and have lately followed many Blender tutorials online. I have made several scfi hallways from looking at other renders. This how to, especially snap to grid explanation and how I also like to do things to scale, is wonderful! I will try to watch the poly count, but I do love using the array modifier. Any suggestion on the old z buffering problems, like where my floor just intersects with the doorway threshold? Is there a "nudge" trick? Thanks again!

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Thanks for watching! How did you find this video? Not sure what you mean by Z buffering is at a depth map? As far as a nudge I would suggest turn off snap, using G for move and then Z for your axis and then hold shift and move your mouse very carefully. Shift allows you to do more fine-tuning type adjustments instead of large movements. If you do this in edit mode it won't move the origin point. Or go into the object Tab and manually type in a small decimal change the nudge things any direction you want. Also the closer in you zoom to the object the smaller your snapping grid will become.

[@Luvsmuzik]

@@DanielGrovePhoto Thanks for the reply. I found this video as a suggested watch in daily notifications from KZbin or possibly link from Blender Nation. I have a small account with a few videos of more 3d renders. (Terragen4, Blender, 3d animations) I use Blender more now for modeling and compositing with these newer changes and tutorials becoming more available. What I called Z buffering was the meeting of two faces of the floor plane and doorway threshold....neither wholly showing, but clashing. I fixed it like you said, incremental adjustment.

[@tazegamer05]

at 6:48 how did you make the edges of each corner not extrude with the four faces you have selected?

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

I not 100% sure on what you mean but I did an inset on the large rectangle, then selected each trapezoid shaped face and did an inset on those individually but at the same time. If you have multiple faces selected that are touching each other press I for inset then I again to make them individual insets and not a connected inset.

Check your origin point, not sure the official name of it in Blender but it's an option. Also be sure you have a face selected and not edges or vertices. Sorry I can't help you more it's difficult by text alone and no visual or file to look at and show you.

[@irinarostova7958]

How did you achieve that realistic glossy kind of look around the walls and floors while still on material preview? edit: I just started out using blender and some things confused me a lot😅

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Select the object, in the material tab make a new material and name it something. Turn up metallic and specular and turn down roughness to maybe .1 or .2 that should give it a shiny metallic surface. To make it look more realistic you'll want to use textures (image based or procedural) to add imperfections and areas of interest to the meshes. But for a beginner play with those 3 sliders in the material and also give it a darker base color. Oh also next to the Render view button (by material preview button) click on the down facing arrow and check scene lights this will make the material preview view react to lights in your scene.

Sorry to hear that you're having trouble. Not sure exactly what's going on on your end but I encourage you to look up a few Blender snap tutorials to work through or fix your snap feature. It's a powerful tool for doing stuff like this.

[@EdKidgell]

Make sure you’re moving the geo in Object mode, not Edit mode.

niceeeeeeeeeeeeee

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

It's so much fun! If you can find good concept art or footage from movies you can start recreating environments and mixing and matching the pieces for near endless possibilities. Great for games and CG concept art.

@@DanielGrovePhoto I can't do the lights of these hallways. Please do a tutorial on how to light these types of scenes.

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

@@Sharal3D Sorry if I didn't cover that part well enough I usually use area lights, set the size as a elongated rectangle and use ALT+D to make clone copies of them down the length of the hallway so that if I change the brightness of one it changes all of them together. Check out my other video maybe I did it more in depth there. kzbin.info/www/bejne/moSUd2OAotZmp9k

[@Sharal3D]

@@DanielGrovePhoto but how to place the lights in a way that would make sense ? Like where would be the source of the light in the scene ? (The models)

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

@@Sharal3D Well the real source of the light is the actual light object (area light or point light) but to have it make sense you need a light fixture model with material so that it looks like that's what is emitting the light. Especially if you're using eevee which does not work the same as cycles. So I suggest a rectangle mesh like an office light fixture, use one of the smaller inset squares with an emission material applied to it. Then put the area light just below that facing downward towards the ground of your room. That way we have your hallway with "fake light texture and shapes" but the real light object which is invisible will emit real light in your your scene. If you're using cycles which has raytracing you can give a fake on your ceilings light fixture an emissions material and it will actually emit light on to your scene. The larger it is the softer the light will be just like in real life. This will raise your render time a lot because it has to calculate all that and you'll need high sample count so that it will be smooth. Don't forget denoising to smooth out your final render.

I saw your red door, and i just wanted to paint it black.

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

You can make it whatever color you want! Or is this a quote from something?

will you please show us how to make a hallway from the game halo?

6:48 how did you do the insets to the wall?

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Letter i press it twice for individual insets if you have multiple faces selected.

I need the file my friend

[@ramatoyib4193]

Eevee or cycles ?

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

I believe I used eevee for most of these and for the animations you see. But the techniques I focus on in this video work for either image. The only big different is how roughness and reflection looks and lighting power needs to be different between cycles and eevee.

[@Squidbush8563]

I've always wondered why scifi interiors all have so many trip hazards.

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

Haha so true! And why would they waste 10-20% of the width of the ground with a diagonal slant? I try to think of those impractical cliches and avoid them... sometimes.

That's not modelling modelling is hand's on not some software on a computer .

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

It's now 2022, "modeling" can also refer to creating 3D objects using "3d modeling" in 3D software such as Blender.

[@rashmikadesilva3437]

so you did this video to save your time? not to teach us properly right?

[@DanielGrovePhoto]

I made it to show how you can save time and have more exact environments of this style. Every time I learn a new trick or a solution to a problem I have come up against I always feel compelled to share that knowledge. I just love teaching and helping. Pretty much all of my tutorials on here stem from that.
