Hi everyone! Let me know if you have any questions about the subdivision surface modifier in the comments below! :)

why are you trying to talk with that deep voice XD

@dropletdew5429 2 года назад

Thank you so much for making videos explaining basic things with great detail. We beginners really need to understand all these concepts!

I was told to add a subdivision surface modifier and couldn't figure out how to apply them and found this really helpful video. Thanks for the tutorials!

@hackedtechnothief Год назад

Justin you are amazing at explaining all of this little details. Blender tools and technique make sense when I watch your video.

Glad I could help!

Thank you for this very well-explained tutorial introduction to the subdivision surface modifier in Blender! I am currently taking a Blender tutorial course I purchased on another website, and I was confused about the subdivision surface modifier. Your video helped me understand what I didn't understand before, and I thank you. I will definately be checking your videos for help in the future. Keep up the great and helpful work!

@yasuleone9856 3 года назад

I love to use the subdivision surface modifier because you can change the resolution of your models after your done modeling it. I've heard some studios model everything exclusively as subdivision models because it's just so much better than traditional modeling. Also, it allows you to add displacement for different shaders, but that wouldn't be possible with normal models with n-gons. Subsurf modeling also allows you to make certain shapes much easier than if you were to use other traditional tools like beveling or profiles along curves. Great modifier, I want to see more of this quad modeling & subdivision surface modifier.

@TheCGEssentials 3 года назад

It sure does make making changes easier :)

@Studio_Beats 2 года назад

Thanks mate!👍

@indianastilts 2 года назад

Amazing thanks alot with this explanation of subdivide. Does the computer still look at all the verts and not have to read all the extra subdivide? So a cube has 8 points and subdivide shows more but still shows the 8 points. I'm doing a lowpoly character and want to smooth out more so thinking of using subdivide but don't want it to slow performance once I duplicate the character to make more characters in same scene

@wlcrashes Год назад

Is there anything similar to Subdivision modifier, but actually working in reverse, reducing the geometry? (Decimate modifier isn't the best option sometimes)

@ing.victorsantillan2927 2 года назад

I struggle using the subdivision surface modifier. To me especially when trying to make an exact reference, the subdivision surface modifier basically goes "nope you can't do that". I want to understand the workflow and the mindset while modelling with the subdivision surface modifier. Things like what to be careful of, what things to pay attention to, what stuff takes care of itself, and how to look at vertices that are no longer glued onto the model.

@dudley8933 2 года назад

Hi, question, how do you change the modifier from Cullen-Clarke to Simple? the new update moved the option so I'm a bit out of the loop

@Ph4lip 2 года назад

Is there any way to select the individual subdivided faces like you can in Maya?

@TdclatinsportsBlogspot 2 года назад

*Hi bud, tell me is possible to use the "Subdivision surfase" for only one part of the model? cuz when i've always put this modifier in my model (a person) the modifier run in all my entire character and then looks so heavy you know.... and i want to put in only some parts of his body, like his chest, her legs for example....etc*

@musasha187 2 года назад

When you create a subdivision what are all of those extra vertices that are shown? I noticed they disappear when you click apply. Is it like a temporary state before applying the change to your mesh?

@marcelotavares998 4 месяца назад

It's possible to add a subdivision just in one part of the model?

@prod.prettyboy 2 года назад

@newton6459 2 года назад

So much helpfull..i wanted to know that why when ae add an extra loop the shape deformation becomes more uniform round the edges...

@TheCGEssentials 2 года назад

Because you're changing the points from which the subdivision occurs when you add loops

@siarsuk1495 Год назад

can i somehow decrease the subdivision surface AFTER i've done it? because it takes so much speed for my computer.

@CapsVODS 3 года назад

can we interview you for a twitch stream? i will be getting into doing cad like work in blender and would like to ask some questions about the foundations of architecture and mechanical drawings into 3d of blender

@kinggalactix Год назад

Subdivisions on Blender seem to be a LOT more complex than it is on Maya. I feel like playing around more with Blender would help me, but subdivisions on Maya is just a simple input that doesn't change the shape. Still, you did a great job explaining what to do, and I understand it a bit more! All that's left is experimentation along with trial and error.

@cheesecheese852 Год назад

you can still subdivide without changing the shape by selecting the faces you wanna subdivide and rightclicking and going to subdivide in edit mode

@darrenwalters9886 2 года назад

I'm between new and intermediate user, and this unfortunately doesn't address how to use the modifier on a selection, such as a group of faces or vertices, edges, etc, rather than an entire object.

@VelvetDreamsMF 5 месяцев назад

How can I apply this effect to only one object on my work canvas, when I apply it all the shapes are affected. I can not solve 🥺🥺

Does quality of hdri 1k 2k or 3k matters, pls help, how does it matter to the scene

@TheCGEssentials 3 года назад

Should affect the resolution of the background image. I'm not 100% sure, but it might affect the quality of your lighting as well. That said, it will also take longer with the higher resolution maps
