There is a much faster way to bring in your reference: Go to your Front View. From the View Menu select Image Plane > Import Image. Go to your Perspective View, select the Image Plane and push it back.

[@nicholaspaul4095]

I've come back to these tutorials so many times for different elements. Thank you so much for posting!!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You are very welcome, Saba. I'm glad it was helpful!

[@medienkasper]

Thanks for this great tutorial. I find it very helpful and I especially like the way you explain everything in detail and not just work through it quickly so that I first have to check what you are actually doing. Of course I will also watch Part 2 and then see if you have uploaded anything else for me. :)

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Enjoy!

[@AbdulRehman-jf8so]

Thank You Monica

[@pokoponmaru]

Thank you for the great educational videos. I teach at a school and will use it as a reference.

[@pablographx]

Thanks! Love your cool teaching style, make it easy to follow. On to part 2!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Glad you liked it!

[@lucaberg8789]

dont know if it was already stated, but you can just create an image plane under view. its a slightly faster way to import an image

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Yes, I go over it later videos, but thank you for the tip. :)

[@user-pg9yg3jg2r]

Why before save the file, we have to do " delete - History then Freeze Transformations " first?

[@yashpatel1460]

Such a fine and simple tutorial that explains everything! Thank you soo much! Keep up the good work! Why didn't youtube recommend you early to me. Just an awesome channel! I had a question if you don't mind answering: I am always worried that my faces overlap. I am always worried that am I making a specific model in a wrong way. I hear sometimes people say its always necessary and a good thing to make a model in a single geometry. In tutorials I see people making different geometry and just aligning them to make it look like it's a single model. What should I do will you please be able to help me miss? I just don't know when to make a model as a single geometry or make it with multiple geometry. (In future I wish to become a Game 3d artist who makes different game assets)

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

That's a good tip, July. Thank you for sharing!

[@Motdonchet7]

Thank Ad...

[@ParadoxBoxx]

any advice on what id do in the scenario that i wanted to model the insides of the shelves?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Sure! You would want to model them separately. I would model a separate shelf and then put it into the desk. I hope that helps!

[@munjeanand]

I've a question, at 9:18, why did you delete the faces? Can't we just select the two faces and click on the "bridge"?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Hi Anand, that's a good question. I was making sure that there wasn't any hidden faces, so I delete them and then bridge the edges. however, I tired your method and selected 2 faces and clicked bridge... and it works! So awesome! I love learning new things. :)

where are you from modeling mine here china mainland DF4 diesel locomotive

[@nerdess]

very helpful. thanx!

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You are very welcome. Thank you for watching!

[@DahamVoid]

so what does freeze transformation exactly do?

[@munjeanand]

Hi, I'm modeling this desk again. Because I've lost the file in which I've modeled it earlier

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Sorry to hear you lost the table model. The next one will always be better! :)

[@REZAsys2]

Thanks, relaxing voice :)

[@nidaetoor7238]

exactly !! so calming

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

I'm happy you find my voice relaxing. Glad it doesn't swirl you into a panic! :D I really do appreciate your comment. :)

[@pinkblood_shinevelvet]

i have question. first, im korean. So, I sorry that i can't english well. Our professor told us to keep the location and spacing as straight as possible, but you didn't do that in the video. You made it roughly the same. What's the reason? Doesn't that matter? I'm asking because I don't know. Is it okay if things like drawers and desk legs don't fit exactly?

[@pinkblood_shinevelvet]

your video is very good for me. THX :) !

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

Hi Yeon, I am eye balling it/guessing where the legs are. If it was a real product that I was making for a client, I would spend more time making sure it was accurate. So if you want an exact replica of the furniture piece, then finding front facing images would be better. Since I only found a quarter view, I mostly guessed. I hope that helps!

[@munjeanand]

When I'm doing the bridge, why it is making the line at middle?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

It could be a couple of reasons. one, there's a vertex that is causing the line. or it could be your options, make sure your divisions is set to 0 (zero). I hope that helps!

Thank you!!

[@ggr6673]

can i have a link to download the same image you used ?

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

You can download the image and models here: www.academicphoenixplus.com/downloads I hope that helps!

[@munjeanand]

is it necessary to set up a project? Because,, I usually save my files in Maya folder which is on the desktop

[@AcademicPhoenixPlus]

I would say that setting up the project is a Cardinal Rule. Every project should have it's own folders because you can easily zip it up and send it to another artist/client. It also causes less errors. :) Here is a tutorial as to why: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZq0m55nYqtjqdE I hope that helps!
