Hello. In this video, I show you how to model a tricky shape in Blender by using SubD.
The addons I used were : Hardops, Round Inset.

Guys i'm sorry, I had a copyright issue, I had to mute some songs...

[@sadafrani1921]

Hi you use mesh tools then further many modifiers that beginners don't know as it's fast n without sound missed many things cnfuse too.please re edit this video and also make it slow .please mention all modifiers and add-ons you are using how u are using what those are doing?? Please I really want to remake this for practice 😢😢

[@ArijanRace]

Top quality topology artist. They don't get any better than this. 💯/💯

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you !!!

It is so satisfying to watch you model with such good topology with the basic blender.

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thanks my friend :)

Best example of workflow I've seen so far on YT! Great topo

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you so much for your kind words Sjors !!

[@homborgor]

You're a clever guy and have a brilliant understanding on topology. Keep these great videos coming 🙏

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you very much my friend!

[@catman3573]

thank you. I've seen more of the beauty of art than of your experience.

[@satglob4839]

Thank you Bro and Great video, looking forward to see more complicated topology .

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thanks man

[@VictorBurtman]

Incredible !

[@ThomasColin3D]

Merci ^^

[@Andy_Shust]

The Knife tool is probably the most powerful thing ever invented for 3D!

[@Daepaloy]

1:23 Note to self. here, If you want the rotation to be precise you can rotate it using multiple of 9 degree.

[@SamandarSaidkhujaev]

LET'S GOOOO 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Great simple work❤

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thanks so much 😀

wonderful work my guy 👏

Thank my boi

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you liked it :)

I'm happy I discovered your channel

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thanks, it means a lot :D

[@xakauuu]

My man has gold right there 😍

[@ThomasColin3D]

Hey thank you so much 😄

[@Strider1122]

First and foremost thanks for taking the time to teach these awesome videos. I would say one thing could you do the display where it shows which keys you're pressing. That would be a great help. Really good tut. More SubD please!

[@ThomasColin3D]

Hello, thank you very much! Unfortunatly I can't display my hotkeys because I made my own custom shortcuts. You would not be able to follow. 🙂

[@ianmcglasham]

Nice. Some good decisions are made in there. I would have loved to hear you talking. It would be great to hear your decision making process as you go. Lots of good moves in there. Well done.

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you very much ! I'm planning on making many other topology study videos. I'll talk in the next ones 🙂

[@ianmcglasham]

@thomascolin3d Look forward to it.

[@rundown3D]

Lets go!

[@ThomasColin3D]

💯🔥

[@ihabyaareb3328]

Wonderful

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you very much my friend :)

[@ohmfriestv1975]

could you make a video on the radial displace and maybe some other tricks you use in this and how to effectively use them , your workflow is clean and satisfying I would love to learn more !

[@ThomasColin3D]

Of course, that's exactly the topic of my next tutorial, I still have to record my voice and do some editing but it will be available very soon :)

[@balaKesavanbala]

Subscribed..😊

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thank you very much !!

[@humasundal3153]

Dude the way you work is amazing man just blown aryan is daym good well he is but your topology man on another level

[@ThomasColin3D]

Thanks a lot man it means a lot 🙏

[@maximilianjancke9375]

I had some questions about some things I noticed that would make my modelling much faster. How did you activate snapping to vertex that quickly? And how did you activate the mirror modifier that quickly on 20:11? Do you have a custom shortcut in place?

[@ThomasColin3D]

Hey man! My shortcut to activate vertex snapping is shift + tab, and the mirror modifier comes from HardOps, it's a paid Addon but it is awesome! The shortcut is Alt + X

[@maximilianjancke9375]

​@@ThomasColin3D thanks for the tips, I appreciate it! That will make everything feel way more agile!

[@madeeasy7148]

Hi Thomas, do you do one to one guidence? I really need some help with hard surface topology. Thanks

[@ThomasColin3D]

Hello :) Yes I do ! I started a mentorship program, join my Discord server and send me a private message, i'll explain!

[@madeeasy7148]

@@ThomasColin3D will do thank you

[@iagoeu352]

what did you use to erase the two vertices next to one another in 3:27

[@ThomasColin3D]

Shift + R (repeat latest command, which was merge at center)

[@thejasa949]

3:58 How did you fill that face,when i fill it a edge is appearing through the face

[@ThomasColin3D]

I pressed I to inset :)

[@axersoze6082]

First

[@goktugmert]

how did you make the flat part level with the cylinder in 35:30 ? Snap to vertex?

[@ThomasColin3D]

Yep, snap to vertex :)

[@goktugmert]

@@ThomasColin3D thanks topology goat🫡

[@stormk-1130]

How you save the modifiers? you press x or you actually use ctrl a?

[@ThomasColin3D]

What do you mean by "save the modifiers" ?what part of the video are you talking about ? 🙂 Add the timestamp in a comment, i'll check it out and help you

[@QCode11]

I wish there was key press on screen

[@ThomasColin3D]

I can't, I made my own custom shortcuts so you wouldn't be able to follow

[@CharlesDanielCharly]

how did you make the bevel at 11:07?

[@ThomasColin3D]

Ctrl + B to bevel, P to adjust the profile to 1 :)

[@mrhanan9221]

Bro where and how did you learn topology and blender

[@ThomasColin3D]

I went to a 3D school in 2013 so I have 10 years of experience. And I learned Blender at work in a 3D studio. I was using 3dsmax and Maya before 🙂

[@bluefinsxmovies]

Please who else is having audio issue ?

[@ThomasColin3D]

It's because I had a copyright issue, I had to mute the sound of 2 or 3 songs unfortunatly 😭

[@bluefinsxmovies]

​@@ThomasColin3D okay thanks

[@user-cl5mj3rl3e]

t doesn't seem right in terms of time spending and effort.. You know such things could be done in cad softwares in few clicks. Maybe it makes sense to do it with booleans and quickly retopo all that stuff? I know that it's impossible to do bevel after boolean in some cases but we can set proper topology flow for it when we are retopologizing and finishing our model, what do you think? Really need your opinions

[@ThomasColin3D]

Yeah of course you can do it faster in Cad, but the purpose or my videos is to teach how to get a good topology in tricky situations. Making hard pieces like this one is a great way to improve your polygonal modeling skills quickly 🙂

[@humasundal3153]

Can you make some Hoodie type tutorial t shirts? it would be helpful

[@ThomasColin3D]

Yep I add this in my to-do list :)

[@humasundal3153]

thanks a lot Sir

[@ginoitaliano22]

35:25 how did you make those faces flat?😅

[@ThomasColin3D]

S + Z + 0 :)
