Create Welding on Intersecting Geometry 

Mr. you made my day, I've learn a lot from you, please keep on these beautiful lessons , thank you Sir.

It seems your tutorials always points out the small problems that I come across, that means you got yourself a new subscriber. Great work!

very helpful and informative tutorial! i love the way you deliver your tutorial its very understandable compare to other tutorial videos. you earned my subs. hope you can still upload more tutorial man! thank you for this!

nice work Denis, straight to the point

Thank you so very much for this video. I found the content to be very helpful. It may not have been perfect as some wanted it to be, but for a person new to 3ds Max it was very helpful and practical. I was baffled how someone would accuse this video to be boring. This is an instructional video with a purpose to aid others to learn. I am at a loss how people only condemn when they are getting free instruction. One could simply find something else to watch. Condemnation does not help anyone improve. If you gave constructive criticism on how to improve that would be of some use, condemnation serves no one.

Just want to mention that you don't need to model in the grooves. Technically that would represent a weld defect. Learned some with this tutorial 👍

Thank you for the tips very helpful !! I am a 3ds max user since couple of years and this technique is clean and nice the only down side is that it takes time. I prefer the Boolean operations and morphing, I believe it is quicker to get the job done !

Your tutorials are gold. Thank you!

Great video tutorial! Thanks for uploading it!

Thank you very much, I learned a lot by watching your tutorials

i loved the projection shape merge Technique. "I discovered something about ShapeMerge that got it to work after it seemed to work only at random: I was trying to project the outline of an arched window onto a building facade. At first it wouldn't work no matter what. At some point I added an edit poly modifier to the shape to see if that might work better. This of course made the arch window into a polygon. At this point I realized the building facade poly normals were facing the opposite of those of the arch window - the normals were facing each other. For the heck of it I rotated the arched window 180 degrees, so that its normals were facing the same direction as those of the facade. Then I removed the edit poly modifier from the arched window so that it was a shape again. Then I tried ShapeMerge with the window shape - and that worked! " So, as unclear as it is what direction a shape's polygons will be facing before you convert that shape into a mesh, it appears that ShapeMesh only works if that shape is oriented in such a way that those polys, once created, would be facing the same way as the base mesh.

perfect, I have been looking for this

to do correct vertex align, don´t forget to see if "Enable axis constraints" is checked in options tab. Thanks for the tutorial!

In first model with circle pipe's i think that it should get some covering swift loops near the place of bridge operation. It's need because we might to get non deformed shape of both of them. Or simple i think that you might to get for each of pipe different smoothing groups and get on bridge somethink like a chamfer. And after that, it's gonna to be looks more realistick. Further you can make the next operations )) It's a some kind from CAD modeling whith solid shelled models) Thank you for so good video! Best wishes!!))

Awesome tutorial! Thank you.

Great stuff as always

Thanks for the first part of this lesson! It was helpfull fo me))

Perfect, thank you, i have learned so much from this!

Awesome video, thank you. I'm modeling a bolt and want to attach the 40-side body to the 18 side hex head, a problem similar to attaching the box to the cylinder in your video. Except that I can't figure out how to use your technique on my bolt. Any suggestions?

Thanks! Great tutorial!

Good job man!

Thank you so much ! you make my life a lot easier!

thank you, a very educational video

thank you for this amazing tips ❤

Thanks mate! nice one

You do deserve my like sir

Great tutorial

Terimakasi, Anda Cerdas dan Baik.

Wow, I never knew about the CTRL+backspace thing... that would have helped me out of many frustrations.

You are the best.

I would rather listen to your podcasts bro coz your American accent is so smooth and you speak so understandable 😅😂😁

awesome video!! thank you so much. But take that model to a 2d artist to texture and he will murder you, overlapping and uv etc, welding should be done by texture and shade ( just my taught ) thx, I subbed!

excelente gracias... =)

perfect tutorial! thx.....

What is the tool that you use in adding edge at the timeline 25:08 to 25:17?

thx! very useful!

Hi, first of all thanks for the tutorial! In 7:25 can't do this following your own commands, can you do the same type of alignment with 3ds max 2014?

hey, Denis can u make the tutoreals on 3dsmax tips n tricks or shortcuts too speedup modelling workflow in 3dsmax.

Awesome! Very Nice! How you do to connect all over the cilinder in 25:08 ? Is very usefull. Thanks a lot

Thankx for the video.

Nice videos Denis. Anymore coming soon?

Good instructional video but I think what people mean when they're saying it's not realistic, is it just doesn't work like this. You'd need to copy and extrude the weld loop BEFORE the turbosmooth, in order to avoid the two shapes morphing into one another, because that's not how they work in real life. That's all. Thanks

I'm so confused by shape merge, once i add it, i cannot delete it from my modifier stack is that normal ?

how you did this selection 25:39 i only can use ring and loop. Thanks for your videos

Great!!!

thanks!

amazing

Thank you :)

Hi just a question, in min 5:53 you can select borders from different cilinders, but I can't I don't know why. When I select a border form one cilinder I cant select any other thing from the other one. Can you please help me ?

I enjoyed watching how you did this, but also I'm horrified by how the poly-count goes from less than 50 tri's to several hundred.

Anybody knows, where is the previous video of geometry flows? Can´t understand how he selected the adjacent border after selection the polygon? time 2:14

Great vid. I just didn't get the part where you added manually extra edges to give more sharpness. After 25 min.

How did you put an extra edge in the 25:09 minute?

how to do quick connect (on 25:10)?

I just watched another video of a guy making a t-pipe and told them there had to be a better way. But no, you are doing the same as him.

can make with blob mesh

nice

cool

Can't connect the bridge i can only select the shape from 1 cylinder, cant select the other cylinder

a weld would be much thicker than that, that looks more like glue. this guy obviously has never welded before

Use Autodesk Inventor and it would take less than 30 minutes, forgot to say, the entire chassis.

Just take that into substance painter ans make the welding with an alpha brush

A new sub from me, but this approach isnt really accurate. Your welds are ending up in the wrong place. Just generating the spline, and moving it to the correct spot and use particles, then mesh those to finalize them would be a better approach I think.

You made a fiew mistakes like 0,5 with chamfer, also your triangle could have been avioded with connecting the sides.

That looks like mad undercut. Real Welds do not look like that

No offence, but those welds arent even close to looking realistic!

Dude what the fuck did I just see, is this black magic?

That welds are horrible.. Nobody should follow yr workflow of making it

I'm a welder and I have to say this is the most fucking ugliest beads what I ever saw. Really far away from realistic welds.
