Thanks my friend ! 😄

No doubt I think I need to be the marketing manager for @thomascolin3D

[@bhimborde5384]

do smart work rather than hard work i am currently working for amazon 3d models and my mentor give me some tips i think you should follow use modifiers effectively (you apply too much subdiv from the start, make model low poly as possible) 4:20 you can use inset offset for protective edge loop just fill inside face and then inset face ( I + O = o means offset) for making tyre you just need a plane with pattern made on it and three modifiers 1 lattice 2 array 3 curve thats it and best part is its editable 25:48 use merge by distance with affect only selected btw great work

[@ThomasColin3D]

Damn bro, I didn't know that inset tip, it's super useful, i'm going to use that in my future videos :) thanks !

[@АлексейАстахов-ж3э]

What's the difference between inset offset and extrude along normals? Or using extrude +alt+s during and flatten? Or in this case everything will do?

[@bhimborde5384]

@@АлексейАстахов-ж3э inset offset gives you time to decide the scale of face and when you are done you can offset if While extrude along normal is opposite of inset offset 👍🏻

[@theman7050]

What purpose would lattice modifier serve?

great modeling ! I love the music choices too. hypnotic, keep up the great work love it!

Nice job of tying the boolean in! My 1st motorcycle tire I finished last night I didn't subdivide initially and built this complex tread pattern on a plane, mirrored it to the other side but built an all quad mesh with control loops and knife tool. The problem I had was the vertices didn't line up end to end when it came time to merge the array. So rather than start over I extruded over one line on each end and then lined up each of the vertices with s x y 0 and sx z and zero one by one.. Took a bit but I saved it. Might try it your way next time. So far boolean's have been a disaster for me.

[@ThomasColin3D]

Yeah tire patterns are pretty hard to make! I already tried to strart with a flat plane but I didn't like it.

[@RC-Heli835]

@@ThomasColin3D I'm working on a tire now and trying some of your topology methods to tie in the boolean. It really helps a lot. Thanks for sharing!

Such a great video. It is useful very useful and understandable for beginners. Hope this kind of tuts will be continued from you. Expecting more tuts like this from you bro. Thanks a lot...

[@lerandsouza8641]

If I add extra edge on the boolean cutter i think I have to add same edge in the other side too right and if I add extra edge it will endup in deformation

[@ahammedfarhan]

My bevel is not working as you did here at 0:58. Would you happen to know how I can fix it?

[@ThomasColin3D]

Did you apply the scale before adding your bevel ?

The music is sometimes very loud. Could you turn on screencast keys, please? But besides that, very good video.

[@ThomasColin3D]

Hey man, I don't turn on screencast keys because my shortcuts are not the same as everyone else. I made custom hotkeys and shortcuts... Thanks for your comment :)

I'm not sure to understand the question, try TAB ?

It's great to stick with the default options in Blender for this series, avoiding any use of paid addons or plugins.

[@letslearn8896]

the only thing which gone bouncer is you are adding shring wrap modifier but i dont know to what when you are amoothing vertices and adding shrink wrap i didnt understand that adding shrink wrap to what? though i am seeing there are two slenders in outliner the second one is a copy if you are using that copy slender to adding shrink wrap then please demonstrate how please i need to know otherwise the rest entire video i am enjoying very much

[@letslearn8896]

or there is any tutorial about this thing then let me know about that i will watch that one instead

[@ThomasColin3D]

Hey man ! Thanks for the comment. My latest video explains it better! The timestamp is 8:00. You have to add the shrinkwrap modifier on the deformed mesh, and the target is the duplicated mesh that was the good curvature. Let me know if you don't understand 🙂

[@letslearn8896]

@@ThomasColin3D first thank you for respond but still didn't get even after watching the latest video of yours, i dont know when you applied shrinkwrap to dublicate cause that dublicate was hided and you never unhide it, its confusing for that reason also. i am sorry if i m not making any sense

[@charlie_box]

Why didnt you use knife tool instead of vertex extruding from start?

[@ThomasColin3D]

There are many ways to achieve the same result

[@charlie_box]

@@ThomasColin3D ok thx, I am realtive new in Blender so I thought it has some importance. Great video btw. Helped me a lot.

15mins of doing diamon but for what reason ?

[@ThomasColin3D]

For clean topology and perfect shading, it's a film asset

[@Adasci]

what do you think about ImageModeler? Some people like it for extra precision when modeling cars or whatever but I think it is kinda harmful because you are relying way too much on locators and thus skipping development of observatory skills/guesstimation while modelling. I have never tried it in practice but I would imagine it could be handy when you dont have decent blueprints or none at all, like car interiors and front panels or smth?

[@ThomasColin3D]

I have never heard of ImageModeler, is it an addon ? or a software ?

[@Adasci]

@@ThomasColin3D It is very outdated plugin from Autodesk, works similarly as Fspy but is basically hundreds times more precise but also requires lots of preparatory work to match the perspective of given image. Basically you take few images of same object from different angles and on individual photos add so called locators to match the perspective perfectly from all angles/images. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWi0p5eZZclobqs this video would be better to understand how it functions.

[@bhimborde5384]

well difference between precise image modeling and normal image guessing modling is that imageModeler is a substitute for blueprint thats it and model based on guess look quite good but if you look side by side model looks odd in terms of size and proportion

[@asyraftojiman6801]

Spending most of the time fixing the topo seems like not a productive way of modelling. Blender need to find better solution on topology-sensitive modelling. I love blender, just wishing i can be more productive in this fast moving era.
