    @marauder870 Před 4 měsíci +2

    Im pretty sure he knows this but for the people in the comments, there are a lot of shortcuts that you can use for view and a lot of other stuff he did in this video
    For example the view
    If you press 1 in your numbpad you get the frontview
    Press 3 and you get a sideview
    Press 7 and you get a top view
    Press 9 and you get the inverse of whatever view you have
    So 1 + 9 would be backview
    3 + 9 would be the other side view
    And 7 + 9 would be bottom view

    • @cgboost
      @cgboost  Před 8 měsíci +1

      These no need to click apply in this context, in fact it's handy to keep the modifiers 'live' in case we want to change anything at a later date.

  • @astaka
    @astaka Před 8 měsíci

    In 2:05, goes to wireframe mode doesn't include the X-Ray mode, that's one a little confused me, you need to change to X-Ray as well before selecting the faces for deleting.

  • @mcarletti

    Great tutorial. We don't have to combine meshes, making it continous? When does it matter?

    • @cgboost
      @cgboost  Před 8 měsíci

      You may want yo apply modifiers and combine meshes if you're transferring the model from program to program, or to a game engine, but in this case there's no particular reason to and having separate meshes with unique modifiers allows us to jump back in and amend things easily.

    Hi, I'm surprised every time I watch your course or Blender course. It seems like it's easy to produce a great-result. (Not at all in my hands). Thank you for the good video. I have a question. I'm a blender beginner and a longtime Maya user. Based on Maya standards, I think there are a lot of polygons in the result, is this because the blender can operate more polygons? Or is it to produce results faster? Usually, in Maya, if I'm going to make a similar result, I don't go with this much wire right before the wire that the Renderer makes. Of course, I understand that it's going to be similar to Maya in Modifier and Edit mode, but as a result, I think I see a lot of wires Did I misunderstand?

    • @Famburgerlover
      @Famburgerlover Před 8 měsíci

      its because he has a good computer and its either cpu based (eevee) or gpu based (cycles) and its not cpu intensive because of how its rendered. For his example, he is showing you how to produce fast results rather than a performant model that has say 3k tris. He is around 20k tris.

  • @silverman6888

    • @cgboost
      @cgboost  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Hi, this is helpful to have some more vertices to snap on the cup by using the shrinkwrap modifier. Since the cup is rounded, if we don't have that loop, the handle part snapped to the cup wouldn't have enough geometry to properly stick to the shape.

    Why would one use shrinkwrap instead of simply moving the object to the surface?
    My hypothesis is that it run smoothly/better with future animation/rigging?
    this tutorial is amazing, thanks

    • @cgboost
      @cgboost  Před 2 měsíci +1

      Hi, thanks for your question! Using shrinkwrap allows you to quickly project an object or a part of an object on another object. In many cases it's more precise and quick the moving the object manually, especially if you need it to be aligned to the surface.

      @@deepwaterattracted709 softwares like rhino should be better for this kind of modeling. Anyway as far as I know you can do that in blender too, there are many artists that do jewelry for 3d printing, architecture projects etc, so it should be totally possible. You have tools like overlays that tell you the precise dimensions of the elements, or the Measure tool.
