What a hidden gem of a channel - these tutorials are so great. Thank you for sharing your techniques.
Thank you! I'm glad you found them helpful
6.9.2024 we are in Italy right now and appreciate the talent you have in creating these architectural works.
That's fantastic. It's a pleasure to watch you work
Incredible tutorial, cant wait for more
Absolutely amazing tutorial, the intricate ornaments and decorations really make this creation shine. Thank you for such a great resource!
Wow, an incredible guide, and surprisingly in depth one at that
Thank you so much!
This was... amazing. So much information in 30 minutes.
Exactly what i've been looking for!
I model all the time but sometimes I do architecture like this just to doodle. This kind of stuff tickles your brain in just the right way. So satisfying
just discovering your videos now im new to blender and I want to make neoclassical architecture and youre literally the only person i see doing this kind of stuff so thank you please don't stop youre a big help
this tutorial was so relaxing to watch, really great thanks!
Great tutorial and background music is phenomenal
Dude i finish this tutorial, i can't believe i create this arch ! Well... not as good as yours though, but man i love it ! Really appreciate it ❤
i can't believe it's free to watch. I've learned a lot. thank you, It is so underrated!
wow i love ur architecture vids, great tutorials love them all and very helpful for me 👍 ❤
Outstanding modeling, congratulations
FINALLY!!! Someone done it with well explaining for EACH STEP WITHOUT SKIPPING!!! Thanks you!!
Banged my head against a wall (arch) for so long. This technique is eloquent. Thank you!
I love this. It’s exactly what I was looking for an needed🙌
Ho stop, please….give me a moment to catch my breath and pick my jaw from the floor…..WOW! Incredible! Thank you for this amazing piece of work. Learned a lot from you!
Wow! I always wondered how something as ornate as columns, arches, and those intersections of both of these and a dome (as seen in museums) would be built in Blender. Thank you! I learned SO much here!!
The choice of the piano background is a good add. It is calm yet there is something to fill up the sound between talking.
This is exactly the kind of channel i was searching for!!! I have been deepening myself in classical architecture and wanted to recreate it in blender. Thanks for the help
Thank you mate I learned so many things.
Absolutely awesome!
That's like from another world. Quiet, flowing, yet highly descriptive and inspirational. I'm blown away. Subscribing immediately (insta as well). Great work!
Thank you! I really appreciate your words 🙏
Superb tutorial.
I learned a lot from this tutorial

Just Incredible.
Это просто танец какой-то с фигурами и формами! Ни одного лишнего движения - браво и спасибо!
wow this is amazing!
It's amazing, I hope one day I can get to this level.
learn so much from this! ty sir!
Great work
Thank you so much for the tutorial
Very good stuff, thanks.
You're a very experienced 3D artist
I thought I knew! know Blender 3D! I take a hit on the head looking at your lessons.
Thank you for this beautiful work. Bravo Sir.
Thank you very much for your kind words 😊
amazing video !!
It's a really good tutorial
VERY COOL!! Thanks!
just beautiful, modeling is shill and cool, and if you want even more freedom detailing the asset you can make a trim sheet with all the things you want on it, it's even cooler...thanks hbitproject for the quality video...much appreciated
Thank you very much. You are absolutely right, in fact a video on trim sheets is in my to do list 👍
@@hbitproject wonderful :D..can't wait to watch it
I love these videos. If you make a kitbash, I will buy it.
fr amazing
you can turn on "keep corners" on the sub D modifier so it wont smooth them out
I mean doing detailed segment and the using a curve and array modifiers makes things a whole lot easier
AAA content. Focused, committed, beautiful. The way you handled the arraying of your [Curvature + Shrinkwrap target] made me wonder whether you had explored the use of Collection Instances, and rejected those, for some reason. At first sight, there seems to be a lot of opportunity to use those to organize elements of your project... but maybe they would just be confusing.
Crazy man
Really great video! You have really concise workflows that break down complex stuff into simple shapes. Thanks for posting!
Have you ever looked into doing trim sheets for the ornaments to save on poly count?
Thank you very much mate! Just check my latest video, it is indeed about trim sheets 👍
@@hbitproject wow my bad didn't even see that. I will check it out!
amazing dude. This is a channel, I am looking a long year ago
superbe !
Nice to see F2 in the video)
thank's for tutorial
this is so underrated...
as a beginner in blender this is kinda depressive to see how good u are :DD i think i would have to slow it 5x and with a tell what each move does to understand it i guess .
Shame that this channel isn't known yet
Glad I found your channel. Want to get into do castles and a lot of medieval buildings with a lot of Arches. My first issue is mirroring, when I do the first mirror in the x and y, I get a full circle. Using Blender 3.4 and 2.9.3 same result. No good at using a mirror and I didn't see any other special keys you used to get your mirror perspective. Will continue on and maybe it will sort itself out. Thanks again.
Hello there, it seems like you didn't rotate/applied the rotation to the half circle at the beginning. Let me know!
@@hbitproject Lol, yeah, I need to make that a habit, thanks.
@@hbitproject that worked, but when you hit y after checking clipping to get a second mirror in y, again mine doesn't.
Nevermind fixed the issue, love this tutorial.
It's a great idea to place Screencast Keys in the Footer area. And your tutorial is so detailed and understandable for beginners. Are you kidding. How did you split at 2:58
Ok. I am finde it - Ctrl + B
Man you born to be a teacher, you explain the things so easily and why should do every movement.
Wow absolutely awesome!
Are you going to make a video about the texture part with Substance painter?
I don't know if for this asset specifically, but I will surely do a Blender to SP video 👍
A great video 👍🏼 I started learning blender recently and the tutorial was a bit too fast for me a week ago, but after a few other easier tutorials from polygon runway I finally was able to finish 8 minutes of the video 😅 But I don't understand how to extend the column non destructively like in 8.08 minute. Everytime I try to extend it the insertion and extrusion in the column disappears and I am left with a smooth looking column. Does anyone know how to fix it? 😭
😍😍😍
Cool . I was wondering how you did your detail work . Nice. :O)
light in the darkness 🤗
Wow
Thank you very much for the tutorial.I've almost got through it but got stuck at the point where you were choosing Faces in object properties. Something terrible appears instead of your beautiful order. Corr.: as soon as I applied Array and Curve modificators to curved decorations, it worked.
Great tutorial
Just that im puzzled if those tiny details are applicable in the tral world
Seems too tiny
Helllo! FIrst of all I wanted to say that I love your channel! I would love to colaborate one day. I also wanted to ask you if there was a way to make these objects 3d printable in an easy way
This guy seems like a traveling man
Hey, thank you for this amazing tutorial. Been working with blender for quite a while and still learned some amazing things. To be fair, modeling is not my strongsuit.
I have a question i think somebody already asked but i still have trouble. At 0:59 you extrude the edges until they clip. It seems like they snap on to each other. Whenever i try it it doesn't snap and i have to do it by eye which i think creates an unwanted face in the middle of the bridge.
Edit: Just tested it, i don't think the edges overlapping is the problem. For whatever reason there is a face appearing in the middle of the bridge that fucks up the whole mesh if i delete it.
Thanks in advance and again, thanks for the great tutorial!
Hello and thank you! It is just a mirror modifier with "clipping" turned on. Then you can simply extrude along the relevant axis until it clips 👍
thanks you just teach me something
There's a lot of things you don't mention in your video, that can be super tricky for users who aren't as proficient in blender. Otherwise, fantastic work!
Hey great tutorial. I have a question right at the beginning. Whenever i hit shade smooth i dont get a "rounded" edge and the bevel+subdivision modifier are not giving good results. Do you by any chance know what might be causing this?
Hello, do you have a picture/.blend file to share?
Your mouse key preview is hiding under the operation window at the bottom left corner. Can you please place it to an other location?
Thanks for the tutorial.
This is actually fantastic. Is there anyplace where we can buy these assets you made ?
Would love to have them in one of my scenes. :)
But again this was a brilliant tutorial. ❤
Thank you! 🙏 I have a few items on my gumroad/blendermarket pages. Feel free to check them out!
👍
Please make a beginner blender tutorial
My god your professionalism scares me..
I've only faced one issue and it's apparently my subdivision that's revealing the curves' edges in the middle and at the corners, pretty much everywhere the vertices meet at 12:41. So far I believe I've followed everything precicesly the same but for some reason my subdevisions are giving me issues when I use the shrinkwrap. Your curve at 12:43 is so beautifully smooth where mine is revealing strangely revealed edges and corners.
Hello! Are you sure you have your modifiers in the correct order? (Subdiv first and then the shrinkwrap). Let me know! 👍
@@hbitproject Hi! Thanks for replying so soon! Yes my modifiers are in the same order, Bevel then Subdiv and shrinkwrap last. You see the little dents in the curve at 12:13? Those dents of mine remain until I select the curve_bmk but as soon as I add the vertex group, my dents return. 😅
@@hbitproject Oh my gosh... It was all my fault, you explained perfectly I just did the most stupid mistake considering I have 3 thousand hours on blender. My mistake was not clicking Assign after I've selected the faces and creating the vertex group... Forgive me for my stupidity. Gosh I need more sleep and stronger coffee. Thank you for checking in with me though. ❤ It's all nice and smooth now!
I'm glad you sorted it out! 👍
I know its not architecture but I would love a tutorial on making a tire, making the tread and having it wrap around properly is hard to pull off.
It's similar to the method he uses to put decorations around the arch. Create a piece of the tread and apply a curve modifier with the curve running around the circumference of the tyre. Adjust the number and edit the size of the tread until it matches up properly. You want to make sure it's set to allow the tread to bend as it goes round, unless you are making caterpillar treads for a tank or construction/heavy industry vehicles.
Help please min 1:23 he says press S-Z and 0 to scale the edge to zero. I have thedefault hotkeys in my blender but it doesnt work. it smashes the whole mesh to the center. my 3d curso and my origin are at the world center same as in this tutorial. What can i do?
Btw I always needed such a hotkey and didn't knew that this exists, thanks so much for sharing
okay I just figured myselfe. I had proportional edditing on. Turning it off solved it.
I will never forget this helpfull shortcut!!!
can you please include the reference images for the modeling
Could you PLEASE share the reference image you showed at 3:38 for the ornated column tops? You can't just tease us with such an amazingly useful image without sharing it ;-;
Or just... all reference images in general.
It's all here mate pin.it/2uhUG4SSf
Wow! How would you do a Gothic vaulted arch?
I was researching a bit into that, since it will actually be the topic for one of the next videos
@@hbitproject Awesome! I sometimes really struggle with architectural shapes so that would be an awesome video
Thank you for sharing your knowledge, do you have any Udemy course that I can buy
First of all, thank you very much for your work! It's exactly what I need!
But of course there are still questions :D I'm probably just overlook something. I followed the steps until 12:40 and now I realise: Your holes for the rosettes are square, mine are not. Of course I could make the arch narrower now, but somehow I have the feeling that you managed to do that without paying explicit attention to it. Am I mistaken?
Hello and thank you! The holes are obtained by insetting each single face of the arch, so my guess would be to check the topology (maybe you extruded and didn't use the mirror modifier when adding depth to the arch at the beginning?) Cheers!
@@hbitproject First of all, thank you for the quick answer!
I have now looked through my old save files (someone very clever recommended that I use several files for such tutorial videos) and rebuilt the beginning.
I think it's really only because at 1:08 you chose the width of your arc so that the faces are square. I made my arc wider and the holes are now rectangular. I can still change that.
Have a good evening!
When I add the Mirror Modifier and mirror in X and Y, it ends up recreating the circle. When I mirror in X and Z instead it turns out right as a semi circular arch.
Hello, it depends on how you rotate the mesh right at the beginning. If you use my very same orientation, you could follow along 👍
@@hbitproject The rotation I think from the video is 90 degrees on X axis? I did that originally.
@mango2005 did you apply the rotation?
why when u put the mirror modifier on the impost it goes perfectly on the other end of the arch ? mine just do some bs and i have to put a cube to at the center of the top of the arch to use as the mirror object to have these mirrored impost to go at the right place
and what a nice and clean tutorial thanks a lot !
when you cut the impost to don't have the same problem I was explaining, make sure to put the origin point to the center of the mesh ;)
Make sure that the origin point of the impost is right at the center of the world (same for your arch).
why not use displacement for the embelishments
What addons you use?
can you help me with mirror its give me full circle in x and y 0:48
Are you Michelangelo? very nice work
Definitely not 😂😂, but thank you! 🙏
You did a great job, but does anyone like to see European-style architectural modeling methods made by 3dsmax? That's my area of expertise.😁😁😁
Hi what is your laptop specification.
When I'm adding mirror modifier and clicking x y axes i get circle, but you are getting 2 arches? how can i fix this
Hello, my guess is that you haven't applied the rotation 👍
I make step by step with your tutorial but i found some problem, because i can't disable rounded courner in the upper wall. when i turn off then is problem with mesh and geometry. so i dont know is blender with full of bugs or other problem. You have also round courners.
If I understood your problem you can simply select the two edges at the corner and crease (SHIFT-E) them 👍
although bevel modifier gives good result, it ruins the uvs
when I mirrored the impost profile it didn't go to the other side of the arch. it just merged and became a whole impost by itself. I don't know if you still read these comments but I would seriously appreciate It if you could tell me what I'm doing wrong
nm I think your origin for the impost was set to the world center...
