Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful tutorials 3DMark! You take your time in explaining things, and are very detailed which helps many of us. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos here in your channel ☺🙏

Nice video, in case anyone wants the dim's the chamfer is 30º and the offset of the top flat surface is normally 0.01" "less" than the distance across the hex flats

Never would thought of combining booleans with quad modeling. Nice job 👍

[@HuyHoang-qy1dq]

Simple video but really amazing, not meandering around like the others tutorials. Tks so much ❤ I don't use boolean much because it's really hard to control topology. But after this tutorial, I will see boolean in a different way 😅

Thank you, i learned a lot from you 🤝 I wonder if is there any way to make zoom tool to act like photoshop? I mean zooming to pointer location with scroll wheel. Thanks for your great videos. Keep going💪

Could you do a video on keybinds, just from this video I learned soo much about modelling and a lot more keybinds/shortcuts

[@LukeThrash1]

Hey man! Thanks for sharing these useful infos, only one question remains, how do you have this gorgeous black theme viewport?

[@3dmarkaa]

If you go to Windows > Settings and Preferences > Color Settings, you'll find all the settings you need to fiddle with. I had to do a lot of fiddling to get something I like. And I've even messed with it since this video was recorded to tweak some things that weren't working well. Unfortunately, I haven't found a way to also mess with the colors of the UI for the UV editor.

That wasn't the topic of this video

[@PrayerTg]

Toooooooo much time

[@3dmarkaa]

My videos are almost always long-form, but I try to make sure I'm not just showing you HOW to do something, but also WHY, and I try to be thorough. They're not for everyone, and that's ok. As long as it helps those who need it, I'm happy.

@@3dmarkaa love the way you make these videos, for proper learning I need to know the "why", not only the "how", thank you for your videos

[@3dmarkaa]

​@m3tt242 thank you! I appreciate that! The why is the most important part, in my opinion
