    Hello from London, Firstly , I can’t thank you enough for these video tutorials. You have enabled me to save lots of time modelling to sets for work, so thank you . Secondly I need to create a cave for a to studio set, 20ft high and modelling in S/UP , I’ve gone down the sandbox route and sculpting the walls , it’s time consuming and although I want an organic look , you def get that with sandbox with little control (that’s due to my lack of experience too) . I wondered if you had any ideas using flowify or another type of extension or general advise . I’ll beef it all up with rocks found in the 3D warehouse. Thanks again for the tutorials

    Pra quem não se dá mt bem com inglês eu tentei fazer o passo a passo, espero que ajude:
    1 - Criar um arco
    2 - Copiar o arco para usar como referência
    3 - Criar uma linha a partir da ferramenta “arco” da ponta de um arco até o arco referência
    4 - Unir os segmentos usando a extensão “Weld”.
    5 - Copiar o seguimento formado com o comando “move” até a outra ponta do arco
    6 - Espelhar ou virar a linha usando a ferramenta “escala” ou “rotacionar”
    7 Clicar na ferramenta Extrude by rails, selecionar respectivamente o primeiro arco criado, as duas linhas e depois o arco referência
    8 - Seguir as opções
    9 - Criar uma linha no no eixo azul a partir do inicio do primeiro arco
    10 - Criar um retângulo no em direção a extensão da forma
    11 - Fazer outro segmento de reta a partir da outra ponta do mesmo arco e conecta-la ao retângulo criado
    12 - Selecionar as duas linhas e criar grupo
    13 - Selecionar o retângulo e criar grupo
    14 - Selecionar os 3 grupos e formar outro grupo
    15 - Fora dos grupos, criar um retângulo em cima do retângulo criado
    16 - Criar formas para servirem de guias para a ferramenta Flowify
    17 - Selecionar toda a forma e usar a ferramenta Multiples offsets
    18 - Seguir as opções
    19 - Deletar as linha entre linhas das “paredes” formadas com a borracha.
    20 - Clique dentro da “parede” criada duas vezes para seleciona-la e depois segurando shift selecione toda a forma (isso vai deslecionar as paredes e selecionar apenas as faces [inverteu-se a seleção]) e depois delete as faces.
    21 - Crie um grupo dessa forma separadamente
    22 - Selecione os dois grupos (o grupo com os 3 ‘componentes’ e o grupo que acabamos de criar)
    23 - Clique na ferramenta Flowify
    24 - Esse processo pode demorar um pouco dependendo da configuração do seu computador.

    Regarding the flowify extension, did you just draw any random rectangle, and connected the two corners with those projection lines on the main object? Because in one of the videos about flowify, you said that the impose grid won't work unless the dimensions of the rectangle are exactly the same as the main object below!

  • @theveil2586

  • @sarahgauthierdesaintmathie4580

    A big thank you for your many tutorials! I follow them with great interest and start to master a lot of plugins thanks to you!
    But Flowify continues to pose a problem for me: I am desperately trying to operate on a curved surface (vase). I create the half-vase without thickness, I have 4 corners. I draw my lines, and I make my surface, I make my three groups that I put in one big group. I click on "Impose Grid", but it doesn't work. I tried several times, the grid cannot apply. I'm desperate. Do you know where the problem can come from? Many thanks in advance if you have the time and the desire to respond.

    i din't know whether is my geometry too complex or me making mistake. When i tap the "impose grid" button, it just wont create grid. However, when i try something simpler, it works properly...Really need some help here
    (Plus, it would be great if you can add some limitation and disadvantage on each of the plugins, it could really help beginners like us to choose the right plugins!!) Thanks!

    • @Thesketchupessentials
      @Thesketchupessentials  Před 6 lety +2

      Does your more complex piece of geometry have 4 corners? Are you sure you have your grouping set up right? 99% of the time when this extension doesn't impose a grid, it seems to be because the groups aren't set up properly, but if your object doesn't have 4 corners, Flowify won't recognize it

I managed to fin donly the welding tool by Eneroth and Chris Fuller Shape Bender. The rest have no ideas who is the developer. Too many choices pop up and i ahve difficulty to recognize which one exactly are the ones you used above. Thanks, appreciate if you could let me know. All the best =)

      You will want an Intel i7 or Xeon processor and a decent graphics card (Radeon RX580 or Nvidia 1070). If you are on a tight budget look at getting an old Dell Precision T5500 and putting a Xeon x5680 processor in it (£30 from aliexpress.com shipped worlwide), or an HP z400 workstation, these are old systems but still very powerful, and can be bought for around £100-£150 or less than $200. You will want at least 8-16GB of DDR3 RAM also, those workstation PC's with the Xeon CPU's can accept ECC RAM which is much cheaper second hand than normal consumer RAM.

    what if you want to adjust heights in areas of your extrusion? your shape has a vertical dip as the width of the outline narrows. Is it possible to adjust that?

    • @Thesketchupessentials
      @Thesketchupessentials  Před 5 lety

      At what point? I'd just adjust the height when I originally created the extrusion with extrude tools
