Parallel Offset Sliding is magic.

In this video, I remodel the top of the stapler, but using a different set of techniques and approaches from the first tutorial, in order to demonstrate how a model can be achieved through various processes. I focus on the use of kind of hidden but awesome feature that I call Parallel Offset Sliding.

C'est une démonstration très impressionnante. Une manière simple, efficace et élégante de modéliser cette pièce. Merci pour toutes les astuces présentées durant la vidéo. Un grand merci.

For me you are the Bob Ross of Blender tutorials with your voice and calm narrative style. :-) I love it. You explain every step clearly and calmly. Keep it up and thank you for it!

These are the best Blender videos I have come across. Ive been using Maya and 3ds max for many years and I feel like im watching high end 3ds max modeling tutorials while im watching you work. You are my go to when I need something in Blender. Thank you. Blender is a weird mash up of 3ds max and Maya with some really annoying features built in.

Shift+H hides all unselected geometry. Great video!

Super helpful to see this video and the SubD approach. In a thousand years I don't think I could have figured out how to create this model with all it's obtuse angles, and faired curves. Thank you. I updated to Blender 4.1 and it stopped accepting some mouse and keyboard commands so I've returned to factory preferences. I watch so many of your videos I's love to mirror your preference settings. I think you've mentioned some of your setting preferences in other videos but if you ever do a dedicated video on them I for one would raise my hand for that. Just putting it out there. Thanks for all the time you put in on your tutorials.

Very informative, hope for many more videos in the future! Greetings from Sardinia, hello

Great tutorial once again. These really highlight how to use Blender for practical applications in day to day use.

Ok apparently this is the kind of subdiv modeling instruction I've been missing for umpteen years. I need more of this, with as much verbose historical blathering about how catmull clark subdivision surfaces behave.

The E F trick is going to be super useful!

[@faustoart]

I really find that your tutorials, even when you are teaching stuff that I already know, are really well explained, so it reinforces the knowledge. I love your work, thank you!

[@kohpler]

Fantastic trick once again :) thank you

Hey mate can you please make video about texel density? how it works how it should work

[@TheDude671]

It would be nice and very intresting because i dont know execty how to do it correctly how to scale to right size i hope so he is gonna do it someday
