    Here's a tip: you should look into the Select>Edge rings and Select>Edge loops. I have both set to quick favourites. My workflow on reducing a cylinder would be: click edge - select edge rings - checker deselect - select edge loops - dissolve.
    Great video, very relaxing, very helpful. I'm only just starting out as a pro modeller for games and I wasn't sure what the most effective workflow was (I mostly do static, hard surface assets). I feel quite a bit more confident in my techniques after watching this.

    I'm glad to hear more pro-Ngon talks in the wild. had to make a whole polycount thread with professionals posting their Ngons to try and convince my college professors that they are useful in specific places. they then turned around with fear in their eyes and explained to me that telling art students they could use Ngons would be a bigger disaster than them having to unlearn a half-truth later in their career.
    like, I get it. art students.

    • @JoshGambrell
      @JoshGambrell  Před 2 lety +6

      Yea man, it is beyond ridiculous. I have friends studying game design and they are absolutely being given a disservice. Ngons and booleans are an extremely powerful workflow, but unfortunately I always have people coming in and saying im wrong because it doesnt work for deforming and organics. I face palm… it’s like no shit, im not preaching ngons for that workflow, but for this style they are extremely powerful.

    at 42:55 you could also use the checker deselect on those, by Ctrl-Alt-Clicking you can select all the vertical loops, then checker deselect with the settings at "Deselected 1, Selected 3", then Ctrl-X to remove them. It's still a couple of steps, but it's a lot faster.

  • @ArtOfPilgrim
    @ArtOfPilgrim Před 2 lety +3

    Ideally you need to have multiple bake groups within the Baker. Otherwise you'll be painstakingly adjusting the cage as you are doing at around 2:28:29 you can better control what gets baked onto other parts this way too by using "ignore groups". This is a pretty standard workflow for game assets. This would 100% solve your issues. You can just combine the meshes back together in blender.

    breaking the model into a couple more pieces that dont overlap would fix the bake issues nicely. names correspondence would ensure no artifacts and cages would be easier to see then as well for adjustments.

    @robertmoats1890 Před 2 lety

    I prefer your method of talking about what you're doing as apposed to random topics. Random topics may be better entertainment, but your on-topic method is far better for teaching. I was once very familiar with Blender, and hearing you refer to what you're doing is a lot of help for refamiliarizing.
    As for the laptop question - I bought an Alienware laptop for around $4K 7+ years ago, and still use it to run everything. My other PC is a 2-year-old custom AMD desktop that had the highest end parts (at the time), and the laptop still keeps up with it. There's clearly a difference in processing, memory, and graphics, but the portability makes it well worth it. The only issue I have is the battery life. I pretty much require an electric outlet anywhere I intend to work with it. If you turn the settings down to save on battery, you may as well not own a powerful laptop.

    Actually you could decimate cylinder by selecting it like at 42:28, hit checker deselect and use pre-binded "Select-Select Loops-Edge Loops", then dissolve everything instead of selecting each cylinder manually. Just be sure that the edges you selected isn't interrupted by any vertical loops, another way checker deselect won't work as you expect
