    13:02 - When he said lets enter into clean up mode, he got a complete mesh to work with and I just had lines and not a complete mesh. My dumb-ass couldn't figure out what the issue was for about 15 minutes. You need to uncheck the 'optimal Display' option under your subsurface modifier to view the entire mesh.

    3:38 / 4:38 / 8:38 The new shortcut for merging duplicate vertices on Blender 2.83+ is now only M, while Alt+M does the inverse operation (split). This was done because it is such a common shortcut that it got a brand new, easier shortcut just for that and because the Alt key is usually used to invert the command, so there's that.

    I'm kinda new at this so at around 12:27 I got super confused about how his 4 vertices became a face. Turns out if you select all the vertices, and right-click, there should be an option called New edge/face from vertices (or just hit the F key). Hope this helps the other noobs out there. :)

    @harshilsharma2844 Před 2 lety +74

    18:56 If you want to resize your chair but it is leaving the bottom line and increasing from all the sides, that's because the origin of your leg chair (small orange dot) is not at the bottom of the front leg (see Andrew's).
    To do that, follow these steps:
    1. Put your 3D cursor at the base of the front leg, by holding Shift and then Right-clicking at that *specific place* . I will suggest that the *specific place* to put the 3D cursor should be at the midpoint of the front leg's base from "inside" i.e., by zooming in the mesh.
    2. Tap on the chair, right-click > Set-Origin > Origin to 3D Cursor.
    Now you can re-move the 3D cursor back to where it was while your chair's origin will stay at the selected place.
    Now you can resize your chair with ease.
    PS: Make sure that you resize only on the X-axis (or at whatever axis your thickness lies), otherwise your chair will go beyond the reference image's scale.

      and if you are using right click select then just select the middle edge of the bottom face

      then click on the model -> w-> set origin -> origin to cursor.

      When I set origin to 3D cursor it splits my mirror? Do you know what might be happening?
      Edit: Turns out my origin was not centered on the leg and it was changing the mirror starting point. I just eyeballed the center line and eventually it worked.
      Edit2: Scratch that, ignore my first edit, do what Kuldeep Shekhawat said, worked like a charm!

    When you're using the second part of Ctrl-R, or GG, to slide edge loops, there's an E option to keep the loop parallel to one side or the other. F flips which side. Better than the default weighted average, for holding-edge loops. It's very useful, and often overlooked. You can cut in any old geometry with a knife, slide it, and wham! it's lined up.

    Thanks for another series. I was kind of lost when doing the bevel at the curve. You often say things like "okay that's done lets do that thing now" but when you sometimes don't it blends together. A few seconds to gather thoughts and a clear signal that we're doing another place now would be great. It's amazing that you cover all the common errors even before I realize I messed up ;) Now I have top tier legs and square plane on top, I couldn't resist doing things ahead.

    if having trouble doing the bevel command to flatten the curved part at 6:00 I think its because for newer versions of blender the mirror modifier actually duplicates the object across the 3D cursor,. Instead of doing those steps in the last video where he made a loop cut down the middle you're going to actually need to add that loop cut. Also he only selects one side of the vertices and you're going to need to select both. The same goes for 8:30 where he's merging vertices you're going to need to do the same on both again.

      Happens to me all the time. If you extrude and right click to cancel it doesn't delete the vertices extrude creates, it just cancels the move and moves them back on top of the vertices you selected for extrusion.

    18:48 if you go to rotate or scale and the leg splits in 2, this is from the mirroring modifier. Increase the Merge distance on the Mirror modifier settings until they snap back together. I initially had mine at .001m, and had to increase it to .002m to get it to snap back together.

    When you rotate a object and want to move things in the local orientation, when you clic G, if you press the direction one time it moves in the world orientation, if you press two times (like G + Z + Z) it moves in the local orientation! You dont need to go up there and change the orientation.

    At 7:50 if you're having issues bevelling because the triangle at the top isn't the same as his it's because you need to delete extra vertices. Press A to select all your vertices, then press F3, type Merge by, then click Merge by Distance (usually the top one) and it should remove all your extra vertices.
    Then try bevelling again and boom, it should work! :D
    EDIT: nvm you can also just press A (while selected on the cube) and just press M then > merge by distance lmao

    The scale changes if you scale the object in object mode which is correct. When you apply transform->Rotation you are saying to the object "This is now my 1:1 size of my object", so scale is now 1. If you go into edit mode and scale, you are not changing the scale of the object, you are just changing vertex positions by using scale. The same applies to position and rotation transforms.

      Anyone looking for the answer, set your 3D cursor (press the button below the "object mode button" with a red and white circle) at the bottom of the chair then select object (top left corner, to the right of the 'object and edit mode' button ) > set origin > origin to 3D cursor

    • @johnlcq
      @johnlcq Před 4 lety +48

      In object mode go to your front view, hit ctrl + .(period) that will allow you to move the origin point. Hit G to move, then Z to move only vertically and it'll allow you to slide the origin point down to around the bottom of the leg like in the video.

  • @FalkFilmTutorials
    @FalkFilmTutorials Před 4 lety +16

    Here's why "Dissolve Edges" didn't work in that case (4:25): You had an edge on top of a face (quad). If the edge actually divided the quad into two tris, you would have been able to dissolve it, since it would have been connected to two faces. But, it was just an edge connecting two vertices, so deleting it was the right move there.

    • @munawwarabdulmuneer5877
      @munawwarabdulmuneer5877 Před 4 lety +6

      @niconicon90 Před 2 lety

      I had the same issue! The problem is that you have to select the side you want it to loop around. If you want to loop around the sides then select a side edge. if you want to loop top and bottom then select an edge on the top or bottom.

    I think it's great that the Blender Guru mentions some common issues that can happen while modelling and how to fix them.
    So far in the tutorial I've had a few moments where I was like wait a minute, why does it look weird? Even though we're following a tutorial carefully step by step, sometimes things just turn out different. Just be patient and try the tips the Guru mentions.
    If the mesh ends up weird and you can't Ctrl+Z back to safety, you can also manually add vertices until it looks right. If you select a single vertex and press E you get a connected vertex you can place somewhere you want. You can select four vertices and press F to make a face between them. At one point I noticed I had several extra vertices close to other ones but not close enough to remove by merging, so I had to manually move them close enough to the right ones that they merged.

    If your lil' orange dot is in the wrong place at 18:40 then here's a dirty fix:
    In edit mode, select the vertices you'd like to rotate from
    Shift+s and hit cursor to selected
    Tab to object mode
    Under the object toolbar, find Set origin
    Hit origin to 3d cursor
    You can now rotate from the exact spot of your choice. If you select multiple vertices, the 3d cursor will place itself wherever the center is between your selected points. This may be quite helpful to know for future projects of yours.
