re the back part of the car, i would split it down the middle, then each half would map with less distortion generally in blender I lay them out either side of the mirror centre then apply a mirror, with x on the data turned on

you remind me of AD and Rudy

this is really the best hard surface tutorial I ever see in my life.

Very useful video; thank you very much for the advices!

Is there an analog to the Quad Draw tool in Blender ?

The ShrinkWrap section was the most brilliant idea I've ever seen!!!!! Thank you so much for sharing!

as my third day learning blender, i had done all cg cookie beginers playlist, the famous donut and some work modeling without help here and there, after seeing JLmussi trying blender video i run up into your channel, i understood all the basics but i was runing in some problems that wasnt mentioned on cgcookie playlist, like the scale/bevel problem or even foucous the object with the period key for better navigation, i can´t stress enough how you are helping me understand these litle but super important details, thank you so much, all the way from brazil 🟢😁

Great tutorial. Really needed some tips to fix my model's UV. Thanks.

Maybe i miss something but with that method you get the detail on a high subdivided geometry, so wont get a lower poly version right? The point is to just start modeling with more subvidisions? Thanks

Dude are u sure? I mean thats n-gone

How do you manually import the opacity map in maya?

Too bad that you didn't finish whole model in this video.

You use a very nice workflow and your patience is the key in modeling process, also as you know, do and re-do , could be the best training experience!!

This is well put and I appreciate. Just learnt something new today. Another method I use is I take the base mesh into zbrush carved in the details with alphas and other sculpting techniques and retopologize that high model in Maya(I'm a Maya User). It takes some time but it has made my complex hard surface model more cleaner. But again the route to take depends on the model.

It's just interesting while I usually always try to use as less as geometry as possible, I just had the issue last week when I had a client asking for very small details to be included and I went the way applying a subd which I usually don't do and I wondered whether this is a legit way😅

I see that you use ngons in some areas, it could produce pinch or artifacts?

I found "Move and Sew" instead of "Stitch Together" was way faster and actually worked for maya 2024. It's found under "Cut/Sew" in the UV Editor

Your channel is everything. I love your videos so much, thank you for these essential tips

Thank you so much for making this video!

You are the best.

Can you please make another video for remesh workflow for highpoly SubD mesh like this one

I was following chamferzone's revolver tutorial and was facing this exact pinching issue with SubD enabled. Thanks for the tutorial. It's been really helpful for this specific problem I was facing.

Looks like an interesting technique that surely gets great results. My question would be from a practical point o view. Unless there is a shot that needs to be that close into the object, like shooting an ant crawling on that barrel and that particular shot would also be static and not animated, I personally see no practical reason to finesse that surface to that level and use additional time to do it as it will not be visible at all on medium shots or animated sequences. Is it good to know how to do it, academically? For sure, no doubt about it. Is it really practical in real life scenarios where everything is on fast forward these days? Not so sure... These kind of surface distortions tend to appear only on very shiny surfaces with almost no roughness or textures and only under certain light angles. But again, it is always good to know how to efficiently fix things.

Do you leave the piece u detached as a separate piece or u merge it back when you are done? (not sure if you are actually working on a detached part or simply an isolated view selection)

thank you 🙏

you're a legend man this is exactly what im after

I was struggling with modelling for a while and I found Aunmar's car modelling series. Although it was in Maya and I'm a blender user I was still able to learn a ton load amount of stuff from that series and I applied that to one of my personal projects. A Gameboy that I was modelling and failed at least 3 times. And after watching that I literally modelled the whole Gameboy without using any booleans. Love your videos bro 🫡 .

Just a quick question on the shapes of the faces - on the left hand side of the final gun barrel, all of the faces are near enough square, but as we travel to the lower density on the right, they elongate into rectangles. Is this acceptable for UVs? I was thinking that preserving the shape of the square is best as it cuts down on distortion? Is it just a case of using your discretion? Thanks

Omg, can't believe how much I learnt just from one video!!! Thanks brook, thanksss

A quick tip for Maya users: you can turn on and off the camera-based selection mode. Double click on the selection tool icon, turn on Camera-based selection. In Maya the X-Ray view works the same way as in Blender. In Maya you can also use the X-Ray active components mode, where you can partially see through the actually selected components (this does not change the behavior of the selection mode). Cheers, D

I'm interested in your topology course but I'm not a Patreon member. Is there any solution to get informed as soon as it will be available? Newsletter?

i havent even watched this yet and ive liked it already

Nice presentation. One thing, if I may, for new Maya users: When you press Q, you do not accept the changes - after you have used a command - it is already there. You just witch back to the selection tool. This means that if you give an extrude command, it will be there even if you have not visually changed the shape. This is usually a big problem for beginners. The best way to see this is to use the channel box and look at the INPUTS section (History, as this is also mentioned here). You will see all the commands there. You can also modify them at any time (it might visually break the object if the modification generates a different number of components in a previous command, because of math :) ) One more thing: If you select an Input in the history, you can press T to get back the edit panel. Cheers, D

One quick tip for new Maya users, you don't have to actually grab the selected component to move it. Just hold down the MMB and drag around a bit at the target. This way you don't have to actually see the originally slected component(s) int the viewport just the target. Okay, one more: the axes of the gizmo and the center of the gizmo is actually the constraint of the snapping or moving in Maya. You just have to click ont the axis before the snap or move. Center means: use all axes Also, this is true for all transformation type. Quick shortcut to choose all axes: press the transform shortcut again (W, E, R), it will switch for the selected axis to the center. One more: You can edit the pivot of multiple objects at the same time. Cheers, D

Literally blew my mind. Never thought of doing this. Cheers.

you explain it so succinctly

can you make tutorial on how to make doom helmet

Thank you as always!!

A topic where I envy game artists who can use floaters.

Amazing🔥

using chamferzones revolver tut technique i can get the high and low at the same time in one modeling go.

Great, thank you!

Swear to god whoever designed uvs didn’t try their system cos it sucks

Saving this video. SUPER informative. Finding baking information online is so difficult. Anyone who is a professional should DEF save this video. Subbed and Liked! Cheers!

AWESEOME THHANK YOU!

tutorial soooo good, finally understood it! Thank you <3

hey mate thats a very good tutorial. just one confusion I have is, why substance painter use gray channel to store the opacity map instead of the alpha channel?

wow
