Tutorial: Quick Stitches In Blender 3.0

I will quickly cover a way of making stitches in Blender. This is a workaround and there are probably better ways around this, but for now, I hope you guys might find it useful.

Great tutorial! You can also change the array type to "fit curve" and pick the same curve. That way stictches will always fill up the whole curve no matter of the offset.

[@TheDevian]

When I tried that, it only filled one segment... 🤔

[@Trollface01]

@@TheDevian i had 3 segments )

[@entorix4763]

@@TheDevian I know this is a year old but you have to select the curve in the array modifier

@@entorix4763 Thanks, I might have to try this again one of these days.

Thank you. As a noob to Blender, I found this tutorial to be the most comprehensive out of all the others I’ve watched, to create this effect.

[@AdamJanz3D]

Brilliant technique! Thank you so much for posting this! I prefer the non-destructive nature of this method over sculpting or painting stitches and adjusting the stroke method / dash ratio.

[@joe_fabricator]

This was sew cool! Thanks for sharing. Saving this one to my library.

[@John_Krone]

So well explained and not leaving anything out. Thanks for also including us macOS users.

i wish I had found this video 6 months ago, it took a week of me messing around and watching videos to figure this out on my own lol. You definitely earned a subscription out of me!!

I love this tutorials, even if i don't need to create this, the process teach me a lot of stuff

[@alainbuschenrieder6024]

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot for sharing that tip.

Really cool! I've been making some boots, this is going to be a great detail to add

[@ClaudioMalagrino]

Much better than using normal maps. Thank you!

I just imagine some grandma somewhere looking up how to stitch something quickly and finding this video and being really confused like "how am I supposed to do that with my blender??"

Looks great

[@sidhadhbinu560]

this is frickin master brain !!!! awesome trick. good thinking.

[@RC-Heli835]

Wow lots of good tricks in this one. I've never thought about using Ctl B to get edge loops in places where Ctr R would usually refuse.

[@nurb2kea]

Nicely explained. Thank you! :-)

So am I

[@thenock7848]

Id recommend checking out john Dickinson's channel, he has some really good modeling tuts

[@GeorgeKayesi]

This is helpful. Thank you!

[@afjer]

You'll get a more symmetrical divot (less diagonal in relation to the normal) if you bevel the line with 0 before alt-s. Ctrl-1 is a quick way to add the subdiv. Also, you might try "Curve Length" instead of "Fixed Count" in your array modifier.

[@akkahoussam]

❤❤❤❤❤ this methode is bussing bussing

[@muhammadfarooqi]

pretty ok? seriously?.. THIS IS DAMMM AWESOME!!! .. I'm alraedy thinking to make a couple of stitching patterns. this is amaazing man. I knew this all but never thought to array like this.

this is what im looking for.... Thank you so much!!!

[@bardiapirouzy8654]

Perfect video

[@Aptass]

Thanks! Good tutorial

[@TheUninstaller2000]

Fantastic. I would have sub-d'd the head before making the curve so the stitches hugged the head more once it was sub-d'd. Thanks for the excellent tute :)

Very nice, though I came here to learn the leather texture, this was cool too.

[@ar3designs]

Amazing

[@segunajayi9575]

Thank you so much

[@digitalmc]

Another easier method is, duplicate the edge loop, subdivide it like 5 times, subdivision surface modifier, skin modifier, ctrl A to scale it down, select all verts in the edge, checker deselect, 6 deselect 1 selected, scale inward, done.

[@GalacticomCGI]

Nice tutorial thx

[@choochshoot6681]

great!

[@GreenGuru23]

thi s leather shader amazing, i will try to recreate it

[@kiwifruit3d]

Thank you

[@baghibeatz9301]

Thanks❤

[@gordonbrinkmann]

To select the edge loop around the face you say "so let's go, Shift A" although it's Shift+Alt. I know you have screencast keys on where it's showing correct, I just know that sometimes people watch what you're doing and listen to it and maybe not notice the screencast keys showing something different. By the way, since it is the only selection you make at this time and don't want to add to an existing selection, it's only Alt, the Shift key is not necessary. But a great tutorial, I don't mean to be nitpicking, I simply wanted to point that out if some beginner is confused and looking in the comments for an answer.

[@letouristedunet3921]

it's great

perfect

[@matthewchandler3930]

Great video! I have been using your method for stitching and with some tweaks it works great. Is there any way that you would be able to share your leather texture you are using or where to get similar ones? I have been making my own from leather sample scans and I am not having the best results.

[@lulup52]

Realy usefull but guys, u all have to know that had a HUGE amount of polygons to ur mesh

[@Glowbox3D]

Nice toot!

[@hill271]

Super tutek dzięki

[@k.wrennn]

Step 1 for this Tutorial is to have good topology... nice vid BTW

[@seankelly5318]

I was having issues, it turned out to be the origin points not in the same spot. Thanks for clearing that up.

[@ArielTavori]

Great video, thanks! Fyi DecalMachine can fake this pretty well and has a very deep and quick workflow which sort of ignores geometry (or not, depends how you do it). "Panel decals" are pretty amazing for this, though tbh I've struggled to get them to work lately. I'm probably just rusty...

[@ArielTavori]

... FWIW, "panel decals" can also act as a dividing line between two materials; can incorporate metallic/second material "subset" items; can be applied in a couple of seconds, using three or four different techniques; and as you wishfully asked for in the video, you can effectively paint on an object with them using the grease pencil workflow...

Tried following this to get the back one, but it will not follow the curve.

I follow step by step but when I add the curve modifier the plane doesn't follow the curve. I have tried dozen of times and still the same result. Can anyone help with that?

could you do a tutorial on the amazing leather material？ thanks

[@BlackoutGamingChannel]

I'm thinking geometry nodes could speed up this workflow? What do you recon?

[@HAWXLEADER]

Can't you also use the bevel profile for that groove?

[@JimmyGunawanX]

There is a procedural one using geometry nodes by Keiner Sau

[@Fishdonut]

Why my objects are not exactly fitting exactely on the curve?

Me gusto mucho vídeo xd parece bola de esos de juego americano xd

Can I use the same technique for rivets too?

[@best_f1ghters]

👏👏👏👍👌✊

[@PowerWildMetal]

Good technic but I think it could be heavy in term of optimisation unless the cameras is really focus on this in foreground, but for background object it could have been made with texture

[@antoniomarchante457]

Yeah, I think you can use this geometry to bake the normals and then use it as a brush for texturing other models that need less detail

[@PowerWildMetal]

[@zonian8782]

hi can someone explain the alt+s i dont get it, it looks same with scale

[@zsoltoravecz1815]

i just modified a velder addon to make it more simple.

[@colinredwood]

when I select the curve it doesn't automatically follow the path. Instead I have to change the deform axis to -Y in order for it to follow. But it distorts the shape of my object, the stitch in this case. Ant suggestions?

[@cr4723]

Why did you delete the vertex at 3:50-4:00? There are missing stitches then at 7:00.

[@jcartegrafica6731]

bom dia. nas partes curvas o meu não fica certo fica com as costuras maiores e esticadas.

[@sidhadhbinu560]

my only question is why you just didnt put a displacememnt modifyer with wave texture. wouldve been easier than curve modifier right?

[@veiss8801]

I'd be interested in seeing that method. I'd imagine it'd get a bit more involved and take longer to get it looking as good.

[@sidhadhbinu560]

@@veiss8801 nahh, if the uv s are placed properly, i think itll work better than curve modier.

[@baril3d]

Would need crazy high polycount for it to look good, it would also take as long to unwrap it separately and make the UVs straight as it took for the curve which is a few clicks.

[@sidhadhbinu560]

@@baril3d how would it need more polycount than that of the curve modifier

[@baril3d]

@@sidhadhbinu560 because displacement requires a ton of geometry to work well. Can’t subdivide only some parts of the mesh without getting shading errors.

[@moano3271]

I tried this one today and it worked great! HOWEVER, the stitches doesnt show in my renders 🤔 anyone else experienced this? I tried different methods of turning on and off the rendering icon etc in the layers, so that wasnt the reason. Its just really weird.
