The power of Josh? :D I have learnt not only that, also a lot about what is "correct" or not regarding topology.

[@ViniSocramSaint]

@@j.carlosmuro2435 No need to worry about what is correct or not so much, since there is not a "divinely true" or only one way to go about it. This is just a very good way to go about it. Also, fun fact: in Edit Mode, "J" connects vertices together while also dividing faces. It's a way better form of editing already existing faces than deleting them then creating new edges or faces with "F", and it's an even faster "K" knife tool since we work directly with the vertices we want and nothing else, instead of worrying about foreground and bakground bleed and angles.

gg

GG is very useful... also try pressing 'E' afterwards to make the loop line up with the one next to it. You can then swap which side it will line up to with 'F'. You can cancel the operation again with 'E'.

[@tommegg8486]

Goddammit, blender is full of useful shortcut I didn't know

[@cyberfalcon2872]

You don't even need to go to the hassle of adding a modifier. Activate snap to surface. Go to the magnet button above (shortcut shift+tab), change the ruler thingy on the side to face (shortcut ctrl+shift+tab) and check the "project individual elements" box. Now align your view with your cylinder cutter, move and confirm. All vertices will be projected to the other according to your view. Don't even need to be a separate object if the "project to self" box is checked (current version is checked by default but older weren't). I hope it helps. Ps.: The "Snap to Vertex" is one of the greatest tools I use on hard surface modeling.

[@JoshGambrell]

Someone mentioned this earlier and I didn't even realize there was a projection snap mode! That's super useful! Thanks for mentioning it. Had I known before this video I would've included it.

[@davidesivolella5907]

I tried but the circle stays tangent to the cylinder rather than wrapping around like when you use the shrinkwrap modifier. I have selected the "project individual element" box as you said. What am I doing wrong? I'm using Blender 2.82a. Also, where do I find the "project to self" box? Thanks.

[@cyberfalcon2872]

@@davidesivolella5907 You probably did it in Object mode. You need to be in Edit mode though.

[@cyberfalcon2872]

@@JoshGambrell You should also look up knife project. You can use an object to cut another and it ignores the cutter topology. Create your cutter, select your object last, align your view, go into edit, on the upper menu click Mesh->Knife Project. Works best in orthographic view. You can check the "Cut through" to cut all faces, not just the visible ones. Checking the box will reset the cut, so if you don't want to align again, you can split the view and pan around in one while the other keep the "cut view".

[@nicrule4424]

I was going to recommend knife project, but this is so much better! I never had a use for surface snapping until this.

[@AlienXtream1]

hey josh. just so you know, when extruding or any similar type of operations, you can directly use the R/S/G shortcut to begin the desired operation without right clicking. so the shortcut combo would be E -> S (shift)X/Y/Z. a small thing but a really helpful tip to improve your workflow efficiency. there are other operations that are similar such as tear/rip. generally any operation that instantly edits the geometry (rather than applying after confirm. e.g loop cut and the knife tool do not instantly alter the mesh). keep in mind though that only one transform operation can be performed at a time like normal.

[@Loekamber]

I think your new stategy will help most when joining 2 weird shapes together, like an I beam on a cylinder or something. Circles on circles are easily done with booleans but this 'just extrude it inwards and then extrude the new faces out' technique only works when working with a perfect cube or circle. Scaling become a hell of an issue when applied to, for example, the letters G, Q, W etc... because their scaling will not be equal on all faces.

one other thing you can do here is use the loop tools addon that comes within blender (go ahead and activate that, it's great and has saved me a lot of time) and select the edge loops after you cut out the square (or rectangle) shape. Then you just have to right click to bring up the menu, and select loop tools > circle, and viola, you have your circle.

[@brackman71]

KZbinr: "Let me show you the most efficient way to cut a hole." _[Proceeds to show the most inefficient way to create a circle loop and fill topology.]_ To speed up creating the same circle loop, do the following: • Hit *[Shift]-[A]* then *[M]* for "Mesh", then choose *"Circle"* . • Once the circle has been created, hit *[Tab]* to enter edit mode and hit *[F]* to make the circle a flat circle mesh without inner edges. • Hit *[I]* TWICE to enter per-face inset, and change to desired width. • Hit *[X]* then *[F]* to delete inner face, leaving polygon ring. To speed up the filling of the gap between the circle and the surrounding rectangle, do the following: • Hit *[Ctrl]-[R]* to add the center loop cut on the large cylnder. • Select the outer loop of the circle by *[Alt]-clicking* on an edge, then add the selection of the inner loop of the rectangle by *[Shift]-[Alt]-clicking* on an edge. • Hit *[Alt]-[F]* to fill the gap with an auto-triangulated mesh. • Hit *[Alt]-[J]* (with "Max Shape Angle" set to 70°) to change triangle faces to quads. You should also place the middle loop cut on the large cylinder before doing this operation. That would have also allowed you to just keep hitting [F] until the gap was completely filled.

It depends how you use it. Once you understand non-destructive boolean-bevel techniques, weighted normals, and topology considerations booleans can make you a much more efficient modeler.

@@JoshGambrell Weighted normals modifier can really be good for a fast and good shading that stays after a subdivision modifier, but I would've like to have as many face strengths as I'd like instead of only 3. What I end up doing is applying the modifier and then adjust manually. For modeling, I already use "the correct method" that you showed in the video :) But I don't blame beginners for using booleans, I learned myself modeling in Roblox Studio, where there is almost no mesh manipulation possible, except for booleans.
