The easiest modeling technique? Blender Secrets

[@JacobdelaRosa]

Buying your book was such a huge value. Thanks for updating it!

[@BlenderSecrets]

Thank you!

[@beshkekart3909]

​@@BlenderSecrets can i buy that if i lives in Russia / CIS ?

[@BlenderSecrets]

@@beshkekart3909 I would assume so? I think I do have some Russian customers. You can go to www.BlenderSecrets.org to buy it, or on Gumroad or Blender Market or Flipped Normals.

[@AlfredoAntonioMartinez]

I agree totally, 👍

[@RowanSteyn3D]

damn, gotta give this a go, nice vid

[@BlenderSecrets]

You should try it, it's such a fun technique!

[@gamheroes]

I am a fan of all methods to be more productive Thanks

[@northrain0462]

Amazing tip as usual, thanks Jan!

[@FinalMotion]

another way i like is doing this but with a bevel modifier instead of the simple sub div. but better for hard surface, less so for organic/smooth shapes

[@farbodfarokhnia1512]

Love your videos

[@NotSoMuchFrankly]

This also functions as the world's fastest speed modeling video that you can actually learn from. 🏆🏆🏆

[@Gametime05577]

Thanks ❤

[@lisa-eh2mr]

Wow, it's amazing!

[@ilanpretz]

Thank you so much!!! for this little secret!!!

[@kucklowmusic9184]

Brooo🔥 I am scared of the fact I wont remember these facts and tips when I actually need them 😭

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Make a playlist ad save them

[@dertobbe1176]

What Rombout said + Open blender and try it out. It's the best Training you will get. And If you need this knowlegde you will remember that you already did it

[@funguy398]

Use it every day, model a something simple more often

[@NotSoMuchFrankly]

Come up with a throwaway project where you have to do it 5 times in a row quick, do something else quick like change a material or set a light, then do the tip a couple more times, then alternate redoing the tip and doing something else. Ten tries will take a little longer than the video. Also, count the steps as clearly distinct as you go? YMMV For more complicated ones I write down the steps. It starts to look like his e-book.

[@markzaikov456]

That's why I have a playlist specifically for these

[@TR-707]

thank you for doing this !

[@tastyamericanmukbangasmr4423]

As always very nice and quick tutorial…hats off…thanks a lot

[@PolyCrafted]

Cool technique! Thank you!

[@boomanimationUG]

Thanks for sharing Sir.

[@Mr.BuffiloVR]

tysm! this is my first time ever doing blender did you know!

[@AdamJensenReal]

Amazing thank you.

[@alison4866]

thank you

[@jmalmsten]

Th.. that looks so handy. I need to try it out asap

[@Nugget111uh1]

Man, and there I was thinking simple subdivision wasn't useful for much! I knew it had to be useful somehow for it to even be implemented!

[@Mettsemmel]

It's super useful for when you only need extra geometry without interpolation, for example when you use displacement.

[@mafaRino]

Is for this kind of videos that I really need a SUPER LIKE button on youtube

[@creativohugo]

so what's the difference again ,between this technique and using a single sub modifier with twice the subdivition?

[@comet3429]

Alright , I’m gonna be remembering that one for sure!

[@kurenaikonai]

How do open the cage

[@MrSonicTeam]

completely interesting if done on already made low-poly model gives them a boxed shaped look depending on what you aim for

[@Petardozord]

I'm always using this exact technique- it's handy when it comes to precision. But it's pain in a*s to create very detailed sculpture this way. so it's only for base meshes/simple objects.

[@rn2782]

interesting, thanks!

[@VoltitanDev]

Neat trick.

[@飞风]

very uesful

[@Hightreads]

what's the difference between just using a single subd modifier set to 2?

[@magnusm4]

This is how I felt originally with just subdiv. But over time it became to clay-ish. Making crevices filled and chunky. Misinterpreting my design constantly. Making it thin where it's thick and thick where it's thin.

[@TheKevphil]

Back a few decades, I was trying to work with NURBs in C4D which had a similar workflow, even if they described it differently. I know you can add loops to tighten edges, but is there also something called "weighting"? Thanks!

[@Drisico]

A weighted bevel is possible in blender. Its a method to tell blender what edges should be tightened up (beveled) and which edges do not. Not sure if this is what you mean though?!

[@nokiaaingel]

when i enable the bisect it removes the mirrored geometry and leaves me with one face in the middle

[@igorkovalenko5851]

Please advise, I work at a factory, I'm 30+, I learned blender a little a couple of years ago. Does it make sense for me to start studying 3D in 2025, what are the prospects in this field: work - pay, work in a company or for yourself, physical and mental health?

[@coddy212thcommanderorang8]

thanks for the advice but can you link the materials that you used at the end where they come from

[@dolboeb-tz4bw]

Please explain in full length toturial

[@da_cat]

Show us how you did that cool material with dust on edges and stuff

[@BlenderSecrets]

Those are from my materials course, glad you think they're cool :-)

[@M138.]

can i ask how you got the circles along the shoulders?

[@avi4689]

can you explain why you add the first simple subdiv?

[@zarblitz]

To increase vertex density so the second one doesn’t turn it into a blob.

[@lembarkii8669]

it would be cool to know about the drawbacks of this method if there are any

[@RomboutVersluijs]

After applying the first modifiers, you need to work with much more vertices. So can be more difficult to manage. It's also a destructive workflow. Which is not always a good workflow

[@sherlockhomes9919]

Whats the first subdiv for?

[@peterallely5417]

Woah yesssss

[@fifdesign89]

Jan your cool!

[@Ghost_ou]

Where can you get those brushes?

[@Artist-z8k]

Cool!

[@ollied2025]

Request - how to do edge masks only for convex edges!

[@무방스튜디오]

how did you sculpt that mesh like that?

[@TheKevphil]

Out of curiosity, do you have a longer vid showing your model being developed?

[@BlenderSecrets]

Yes, on Patreon, a 20 minute timelapse (double speed). www.patreon.com/posts/mech-modeling-113276091

[@RaidXClips]

Nice video

[@bUildYT]

pffff this took me months to figure out on my own -.-

[@Dcraft_TNT]

how do you get that edge shading in viewport?

[@rishafortuna2270]

Hey fellow Blender-friends! How do you get your Material to look so much more defined? Is that a uniqe Matcap? Thanks in advance!^^

[@lisa-eh2mr]

Can you please make a detailed video on this topic? I'd love to see modeling tips and tricks, especially for more detailed modeling work. It would be super helpful! #fulllengthvideo

[@muhammetakcil3599]

Have a good day. Are all the studies mentioned in the videos you explain clearly included in your book? Could you explain a little? I plan to buy your book. Thank you.

[@jordangearclox]

mine looks very different from what your doing and its really confusing

[@StarryCorpRblx]

there is an ad longer than this video..

[@caruya]

I believe having a ready concept is more important than modeling techniques. You should never design and model the same time.

[@BlenderSecrets]

I understand what you’re saying and I agree with the sentiment. But design always comes with some technique, even when just drawing with pencil on paper you’re using techniques that you’ve learned. The goal is to make the technique easy so you can focus on the creative part. I think this method helps you do that. If you’re comfortable enough with modeling and sculpting, you can use it for the design phase. And of course, it’s just fun to do. I don’t always want to over-analyse everything and sometimes you want to just do some fun modeling. I think that’s fine too.

[@EmvyBeats]

But that's the fun way..

[@peterfrank1572]

I gave the 100th thumbs up ! 😁

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Congratulations. Your life just peaked. You will never achieve the same greatness in real life ever again.

[@EmvyBeats]

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 Lies, cos he is gonna get the 1st like one day. Mark my words..

[@mechadeka]

I figured it out, but you probably should have told the audience why you used both version of the sub-d modifier.

[@Tomy_Yon]

I like the fatty robot creation. 😊

[@ch-arts-us]

you make it look EZ

[@dertobbe1176]

It is. That's the way I Model armors. It's easy and near

[@pile333]

Nice. Maybe we could also use it to model a car bodywork.

[@wadeeliason969]

I have used it to model a car. One thing you will get is non round wheel wells. But its a great technique

[@pile333]

@@wadeeliason969 Yeah, it could be a sort of substitute of the old Nurbs modeling technique. I guess pretty useful for modern cars modeling. Not for Tesla truck though! 😄

[@wadeeliason969]

@@pile333 yah just like any tool or trchnique. It has its place

[@MusicBit8]

WHAT IS OTHER BASIC MODELING TECHNIQUES???

[@Blonder_Studio]

the polygon count: 📈📈📈

[@level10gnollwarlock]

brilliant. now i dont have to worry about my shitty sculpting skills

[@EmvyBeats]

oh you will, you will..

[@kazioo2]

Isn't it, in the essence, a fancier version of box modelling?

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

It is. Weve been using the same technique in 3DS Max and Maya for years. Its called Sub D modeling.

[@totidokkan]

bro u are doing things way faster

[@Disent0101]

47 seconds? this guys not fucking around!

[@solraccjd2]

Sorry, but I can't get the concept, I can't see the benefit of applying this technique, could you explain a little more, thanks!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Ps, why apply the mods when you want to add more detail. It should work just as is, i believe. Buts easier to work with without the shape changing, yet there is more data to work with. So can also .Ake it harder to add more detail

this is a popular and revolutionary method, but the path from writing the draft to realizing it is going to be more complicated. because it's not a plane edit, it always has thickness, so it's a little tricky

[@RomboutVersluijs]

I'd it doesn't have thicknees it's a flat plane.not sure what you mean by this

@@DontKnowDontCare6.9 surprised. @MichaelWeisheim_Raidmask published this method and it became widely known last year. It seems that blender takes time to fully absorb all the other software techniques. So blender secrets help me a lot

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

Revolutionary? Hardly. I first saw this technique in a tutorial for 3DS Max 5. Guess when 3DS Max 5 came out? LOL

[@silchasruin4487]

Am I first?

[@goblinphreak2132]

why do modern games run like shit? because quads are bad. the game has to do extra work to turn quads into tri's. you should always model in triangles.

[@smaplessmap5355]

Blender lost focus! So far behind 3dcoat, zbrush, plasticity, adobe modeler and painter, 3dsmax now!
