Topology Warlord teaching the peasants, noble work as always my King

bro you made a mistake by hiding all these years.you deserve more subscribers just don't give up!

I genuinely don't understand how this guy is so damn underrated!!! He deserves so much more attention for the amount of topology knowledge he shines upon us

OH, YEAH - I AM LEAVING THE COMMENT ALRIGHT And I did enjoy this video a lot My God - that's just some magic with topology fixing right there

Instead of eyeballing the edge loop around the booleaned part on the sphere, select the boolean part, press I for inset, then O to make it an outset instead, to create an edge loop an even distance away from the boolean part.

Wow, really a great tip with the shrinkwrap. Will try as soon as I get the chance

On that edge where you eyeball, you can select it and inset, in the inset you inset outwards and it will give you a perfect offset to the edge.

I've been modeling basic shapes and and structures for a few weeks now so this will be really useful for me going forward. Thank you for this video!

Glad to see more subd people in the blender community. Most blender modelling videos is just boolean modelling

Absolute banger of a video 🔥 Very profesional, delicate work ❤

Love it! Great video as always :D

How long have you been working on 3d Thomas? You are AWESOME!

Fantastic vid - thanks for sharing these awesome tips! 🙂

Bro, many thanks for your tuts! You've got a new subscriber 🎉

Eye opening video! Keep them coming!

ahhh it's so satisfying

Thanks for sharing!

That was so good! Thank you!

Amazing stuff 💯 Thanks alot 🙌

At 3:02 you can select the cylinder mesh and inset then press ‘O’ to outset. This quickly gives you a uniform control loop on the outside rather than manually using the knife tool

awesome video! i like that tricky topology videos a lot. by the way i m here because aryan shouts you out every single time! 😁

One of the most challenging aspects I've found while self-learning modeling is using booleans to combine objects and tidy up the intersections. Even watching this video, it still feels quite difficult, to be honest.

This is exactly what I needed. Awesome educational content with some really nice workflow tips, thank you so much! I'm currently modelling an old motorcycle. It requires a lot of clearly recognizable primitive shapes like cylinders in the same meshes as organic curvatures that I want to get perfect but often couldn't. In some spots I gave up and resorted to obscene amounts of subdivisions to try and limit artefacts in size. I'm currently at 2 million triangles and the bike isn't even half way done lmao. I really needed this :D

Great video!

Awesome! Love this channel ❤

This video helps me a lot !!!!!!

The return of the king

Nice one!

very nice!

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I make models for 3d printing, but topology is important to me, so the slicer can interpret my design correctly and it will be easier to modify by me or my colleagues in the future

Awesome video as always Thomas! I always wanted to know what were the main challenges you faced when you started 3D and how you overcame them, since I'm a beginner and am slowly learning from awesome RU-vidrs such as yourself, it would be really helpful to get some insight! Also waiting for the 3rd part of the Karambit workflow.

perfect👌

Very Nice..!!!

The best way is to boolean correctly from the get-go, rather than having to resort to cleanup after-the-fact. That being said, doing cleanup correctly is a necessary skill in an of itself. There are videos that explain how to automatically do a smart boolean. Ian McGlasham explains this in detail

Tis nice

Awesome video! It would be really nice if you could include in the video more shortcuts and hotkeys that you're pressing.

a comment to appease the algorithm gods. Fantastic video.

How did you remove edges without deleting them? (the faces remain) I learned a few basic things from this I never knew existed, so this video was extremely helpful despite having 8 years of experience with blender already lol. learning GG translates a vertex along the normals changed my world view, and I would use merge by distance/remove doubles to join my verts instead of pressing J this entire time. So thanks for making a simple and helpful tutorial.

Trop cool ton taffe mec continu c'est du super contenu

Aryan is right. You're the master with this sh*t XD 🧡

Working with a shrinkwrap modifier, you need to also exclude the boundary loop from vertex group, leaving support-loop the last thing assigned to a group. Otherwise you chamfer is gonna be bad.

Here after Aryan tutorial, great work ❤❤

what the dog doing 😅, amazing vid btw

wow

Good information, but the music made me want to jam a pencil into my ears

Very handy!, Thanks! but can I make a duplicate of the non sphere object make it a little bigger and use knife project so I don't cut the bevel manually? wouldn't that be handy as well?

Speed it up by selecting two or more faces near each other that could be quads and x / dissolve faces. Then you can dissolve edge loops, edges, and vertexes without gg/sliding them. Just select all of the loose vertexes that aren't for quads and x / dissolve vertices. Way faster than one-by-one manually snapping vertices. You can also speed it up even further when you learn how to subdivide two edges to split a face, then knife tool to cut nearby faces to create quads again. Quad flow is also helpful when you start to understand it. Aim your quads by rotating them so your brain can rationalize the pattern, then run your cuts / procedures to get your edge flow. You'll be way more productive than manually editing thousands of vertices. Also consider just deleting offending faces, adding an edge loop where necessary, then "bridge edge loops" to join sections together. Save yourself hours from cleaning up boolean ops.

Nice vid always❤ what would you be ur advice on getting better at topo and sub div modelling?

What if you actually used some triangles, as in not focing yourself to stick with quads. Seems too much stretching vertex to force it quad is not good.

Bro can you tell why we should grid fill instead of just plain face?

❤‍🔥❤‍🔥❤‍🔥

Can you pls open shortcut for next videos? I am new and dont know some of them

Even with this still dont know how this apply to gun topology since most of the courses use a lot of triangle

To make a good model with subdiv^2 - it takes a lot of time. I wish to had it more... ;_;

I just watched the video of Aryan explaining the best way to construct objects in Blender. And after watching your video, I'm lost. What is the best technique, boolean or non-boolean ?

I have been trying to cut a rectangle on a face of a cylinder after I apply Grid Fill, but the lines on the face are not straight, can you explain how I can do that?

how did you mirror the object using the colored gizmo? is it any addon for blender? thank you

Nice! How to add mirror modifier so fast, is this an addon?

i don’t get why people stick to quads when it’s a static surface, can someone explain why n-gons are so underrated 😭

I'm struggling to understand the point of making the topology like this instead of doing the minimum for the model to look how it needs to look and optimized. I'm used to working with as little time as possible to get a render out. What line of work needs this kind of modeling? Also isn't adding edges on flat planes worst for optimization let's say for a game?

Ho there what them are U using it looks nice

Whst is this ball's

when its better to keep a loose part in a hard surface model?

its too dark, i barely see the line

Nice :D Thanks

♥️♥️♥️☑️

which screen recorder are you using for blender ?

what is the song of background?

what did you use to join vertices here1:48

Hi Thomas, it appears the discord link is broken ? Thanks

Thomas you gotta use a different song lmao

that's an example of bad retopology

Too time-consuming. Instead of doing this, use the Quad Remesher Addon. I know it's expensive, but almost everyone is familiar with the Captain Jack Sparrow version. 😂

this topology is wrong.

ah yes, a modern day wizard performing dark sorceries.
