The F is actually to pay respect to all those lost textures
The first thing he says: "Hello and welcome to gabitt Media" is so soothing.
must of watched hundreds of blender tutorials in the past couple of years and i think this is the 1st one i've seen to explain this. i had no idea why stuff kept disappearing
I am using Blender many years now and it is today that I learned what this 'fake user' thing is standing for. You explained it in the most easy way. Thanks a lot! : - )
AGH! I wish i had known this sooner, just lost a bunch of different cel shader variations I had created...rest in peace. Thanks for helping me avoid this mistake again
Wow! I've struggled for several years with materials and this clarifies things greatly. Thank you, Grant!
Learned this the hardway... multiple times :/ but thank you for explaining what it actually is
F for Fake user!
Thanks man. This tutorials are awesome!
Very helpful video. I have to say this is one of those hackey things about Blender. Maybe it is some kind of attempt to optimize the file size by automatically deleting none-connected materials and brushes, but it should not be like this by default. Either way, I really appreciate the explanation Grant.
Bravo! Thanks for explaining it clearly and directly in a very short time
Very helpful. Everything is clear now. Thanks so much Grant. You're the man!
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart!
Great video! I learned about fake users the hard way doing multiple animations but because of you I know why some of my other stuff will not save:)
Thanks a lot for the great effort and for sharing your valuable info and experience.
Thank you very much! that was very educational and clarifying..very well explained
excellent explanation, thanks!
At the same time I learned how to use custom textures to sculpt cool stuff like scales! Very informative video
These tips are huge time savers. This was always something I didn't understand when I started Blender and it wansn't well explained.
Thank you so much. I have been looking for an answer to that problem for very long :)
I didn't know this, thanks for sharing!!!
Thnx a lot, I always used to wonder about this 😀
Again: Thank you Grant!
Thank you for solving this mystery
Thank you !
Duuuuuuudddee! I have lost so many things making this mistake. Thank you! You are brilliant!
Thanks for the share and tips. I accidentally came across this but thought it was a mistake I made. Thanks again! 👍
thank you so much bro
Thnx!! Great tip for every Blender beginner like me.
Very nice tip
Thanks for this explanation - They really should make this more intuitive.
"They really should make this more intuitive." applies to almost everything in Blender, I've found
I thought that was about something else😂 very helpful though. Wondered why they were gone
Me too
Yep I thought it was going to be "fake user" as in those that do the, " check out my 8k recreation of Marvel Endgame I made in 20 minutes with blender." ;)
@@FlyingBanana78 I think you meant 16k🤣🙃. But yes this exactly, I thought it was a sort of 'calling out' type deal. Even tho those videos are absolutely horrendous. Glad it also wasn't about that.
It would be good to do a video on saving the Orb brushes. I followed the instructions on those but the thumbnails didn't save so I'm trying fake user on them all. Also the Grease Pencil extra brushes, saving them in a startup would be good. For 3.0 they're considering a brush manager btw which would be great.
Thank you, I was wondering why I had the 0 in front of one of my actions last night. I had an animation go rogue on me last night and I suspect it was because I had multiple actions working in the animation that weren't playing nice. I didn't need one of them playing so I need to figure out how to ignore specific actions during the animation process. (Goal of the day). Thank you for all of your videos; I've learned lots with lots more to go. Lol
amazing
Nice tip thanks. I wonder why they do this though? Seems very convoluted. What is the problem with unused textures etc being saved with the file? I guess there must be a good reason.
It is more efficient but does seem a bit over the top
But why wouldn’t blender assume that if you save a blend file that it would include everything in it that you’ve worked on? This is actually a weird thing about blender. It should save it unless you specifically delete it, not the other way around!
Amazing and clear explanations! I've been so wondering What the 'Fake user' is and no clear explanations anywhere. THanks for clearing my head!
what a foolish tool tip and names! if i were developer, i would name it just simply as 'keep it'. and tool tips 'keeping this item when you reopen file'. how better,easier and clear?
ugh i don't understand why they put as fake user and stupid tool tips
This is going in my "god mode" playlist. Thanks Grant
thanks alot @Grant . i thought *fake users* was used to hack lol.
it comes by default though
Thanks for that tip. So that's how you can delete / save materials etc. Is there a way to manually delete materials other than closing and re-opening blender?
Yes I think so in the outliner
does the save startup file override the textures each time please ?
Hello sir! I really like your work, do you know about a good tutorial on VFX for blender? It might be both free or paid. Thank you!
I'm looking into that a bit
And here I thought i just wasn't saving properly...
🤯
Wawooo
when will be the winners for the tablet is going to selected
Good question I'll try and find out
02:25 how to use brushes and where can you get it or find it?
See my sculpting playlist
@@grabbitt could you maybe make a video explaining how brushes work?
could you plz give us sculpting alphas
See my video on the sculpting playlist
@@grabbitt okay
Don't know why Blender make it hard this. In C4D I have option to clean unused material, done.
I thought this was a video about social media
this might be a silly question, but why would i need multiple textures that are not being used
More likely for brushes and similar
@@grabbitt makes sense - haven't got there yet
so basically you save your custom templates into the startup scene. why "fake user"? "fake" is something i would not think of user preferences.... man, i've been checking out blender now for a bit... i have to say i am impressed, but some labels just don't make sense. lol
edit: thanks for this
why, just why does such a function exist. At least make it default, holy moly.
I completely misunderstood the title 😅
i m from assam
Fake users, those criminals >:(
Bold move on blender's part to just start deleting stuff for you.
Falcon and The Winter Soldier spoiler :D
yep lol
Yeet
GUESS HOW I GOT HERE
Ugh, Blender is made to be much more complicated than it needs to be. Saving brushes to an easy-to-use catalog should be simple, and not need to remember to click a button (other than 'save to catalog') every time.
i would have to agree
lol Garbage Collection strikes again.
Stupid blender should just save the bloody things.
