For anyone stuck at the apple tree marking a single vert-- It's not enabled by default, but the "extra objects" addon (included in the release) has an add object> single vertex option. You need to go to the User Preferences and manually enable the addon. I was struggling to make one at first and googled this. Hope this helps!

Hey your video is very good and easy to understand. Not to fast and not to difficult. Even as a beginner I think I can do that and that's a good feeling. Next time probably you can do single YT videos instead of one video with chapters and margin it as a playlist so it's easier to search for a specific object you wanna do. Just an idea 😂😊 thanks a lot for your work and for sharing it with us. I really appreciate that!

muchas gracias por este video, me estta ayudando bastante, me ahorraste el curso de modelado 3D de 1 mes, en 1 video, tiene la información necesaria para gente con cerebro... no les hagas caso a los que dicen que no tienes intrucciones claras, parece ser que no saben pausar el video....

Thanks! I learned many things! I have a question though, at 42:49 you searhed for the "log" material, but I couldn't find it EDIT: Never mind! I just had to add "Material" and change the Base Color, then switch to "Material Preview" mode! Thanks for teaching me how to model the stump and the log (that I might learn after the stump)! I enjoy learning Blender :) Keep up the good work

[@EBBKouper]

Wow, really nice video!!! I have a question related to assets in Blender and Unreal Im starting to make my own videogames and my own models for that, so I started making a "single archive" for every model that I make in Blender and export it to Unreal. But Im thinking that it would be better to do it the way you have everything here in the video, so I dont have in Unreal many folders with the same materials duplicated XD It is better make it indivually or "everything from the same class" together?

[@MadstonMagic]

Really liked it, maybe something about low poly vines, webs and leaves next time? :3

[@RyanKingArt]

That's a good idea. I will consider it. Thanks!

[@lipem14]

Amazing! At 00:56:22 when you press O to Proportional Editing then G to move part of the sphere, what do you do to make the rest of the sphere stand still? I've tried the same stuff but my sphere goes with the rest of the movement and the shapes changes along with it.

[@RyanKingArt]

You need to scroll with your mouse wheel, to make the proportional editing circle smaller. Thanks for watching!

[@h.shaarawi1]

I liked the way you teach and l liked your contents and tutorials and I want to ask Can you give me all the courses and Resources that you've learned blender from

[@RyanKingArt]

I've learned Blender mostly by just doing tutorials on KZbin and practising a lot. Blender Guru's tutorials are really good too!

Im literally following your other tutorial when this came up. Blender face sculpting

[@RyanKingArt]

Awesome! Thanks for watching my videos!

[@Rella28]

My pleasure i love the way you teach. Thanks for the lovely content ill be doing this one after.

[@leviriley4191]

When you use the color ramp to help randomize your colors as you duplicate the meshes, does that carry over to a game engine. for example would it behave the same if i exported it to unity? thanks in advance.

[@RyanKingArt]

I don't think that would work in Unity, because its a Procedural texture. So you would need to bake the colors out to a texture map, and use that to color the objects.

[@CarlosSantos-qn8oc]

Good night. I noticed that you applied simple shaders without separating the UVs from the objects. For this type of stylized project, you don't need to separate the UVs?

[@RyanKingArt]

I didn't use any UV's because there are no textures on these objects, except for the procedural dots on the mushrooms. so the UV's are just whatever the defaults were of the objects.

[@CarlosSantos-qn8oc]

@@RyanKingArt Understand. thanks for the clarification

[@RyanKingArt]

@@CarlosSantos-qn8oc Thanks for watching!

[@madraccoon8451]

When I tried to make the actual log (scale it in length, my circle kept increasing in diameter even though I followed all your steps) it didnt work out, do you know why this might be happening?

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, I don't know why that is happening. If you can give me more info about the problem, maybe I can figure it out.

[@MarcoMtz]

SOLO TENGO UNA DUDA AL MINUTO 6:13 MENCionas que seleccionando los vertices del rectangulo y despues presionando "X" se borra la base pero YO TENGO bastantes vertices, no solo los de las esquinas.. como puedo hacer para reducir los vertices?

[@pixel637]

when im doing the loop cuts in the log, they only go on the outside, not the inside?

[@RyanKingArt]

Hmm, after you press control R, make sure you place the loop cut in the right place. it can be tricky sometimes.

[@Kuromiehuvr]

Hi! I wanna ask about the mountain landscape. Why is the landscape generator settings doesnt showed up in my blender? Even though I already turn the A.N.T in the preferences…

[@anon-bt5xw]

Hey I had the same issue, try redoing it, once you add the landscape a small arrow appears on the lower left side of the screen. If you click it it will expand.

[@KillerWillJ]

will i be able to put these into an unreal project? i know i can, but will i be able to scale them up in unreal, or will that need to be done in blender?

[@RyanKingArt]

I have not used unreal engine, so I can't really give you any advice on that.

@@RyanKingArt say u were export ing a blender file for Roblox but the colours didn't export with it so in Roblox it's just gray.do u know how to save colours

[@RyanKingArt]

@@forgame8438 For that, you will probably need to make a texture map, with all of the different colors you want on the object. Then UV unwrap the object, and place the different faces in the UV editor, on the different colors.

[@forgame8438]

@@RyanKingArt i tried that and I exported the file as wavefront obj into roblox studio and still the whole thing was still grey ( andi coloured it and unwrapped it in blender)

Cycles is very realistic already, so in Cycles, you don't need to bake the lighting with the irradiance volume.

What version is this is it 2.9+ because I cant extrude on it

Extruding doesn't change in different Blender Versions. Its always been, E, to extrude. You might need to be in the face, or vertex select, for it to work. But yes, I think I was using Blender 2.9 when I made this tutorial.
