It is fun to use and feels quick and easy. Easy to pick up to as there's not much to it other than dragging a bunch of primitives about.

Thanks a lot! It's something I try to embed within my own practice, and as you've seen ,encourage others. I even think it's sometimes a better approach to learning new software as it enables the user to push the boundaries of it and their personal requirements.

Hi, this one is called Plasticity. It's a CAD modelling program for artists.

@@digitalste811 is free or paid

This one is paid, it currently cost $149 USD for the indie licence, I think there a student discounted version as well.

I totally agree-Plasticity’s snapping is next-level. I've been able to take full advantage of it to create cuts perfectly aligned to surface angles, which saves so much time and keeps everything precise. It's like having an assistant anticipating exactly where I want things to line up. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts!

Is there a snap function short cut ?

For Object Snaps you can temporally enable it by holding the Ctrl Key and for curves you can Temporally turn off using the same key! hope that helps :)

@digitalste811 thx 😊

@@shokk1967 Also, you can show construction lines and snap to them by going over whatever you want to align with and hitting the shift key twice. it will draw construction lines that help you align to that point, edge, etc. and you can snap to those construction lines. It's quite amazing!

No way! That's a great tip and will help massively, thanks.

I've heard positive things about Rhino but have never used it myself.

I suppose a CAD modelling approach frees artist up from the polygon modelling constraints. However, this does come at a cost, the topology on CAD models isn't great, and retop work needs doing in alternative programs to better optimise them for use in games! I suppose that's the catch ha!

@@digitalste811 Games. I see. I remember playing Frogger but that was 2D. Well for product design this is fantastic.

​@@gokhanersan8561 Games, exactly! Frogger is a classic! It’s amazing how far things have come. For product design, Plastcity is definitely fantastic!

Hey, thanks for that! I'll check the materials out soon, I know there are also different performance settings for the viewport rendering as well, so I might try combining that with some materials to see what I get! :)

Yes a lot of people have told me its short cut heavy - it'll just take a little time to become accustom to them I suppose. Thanks for the support and tips shared, I am planning on getting back into it this weekend so hopefully there will be some improvements ha!

Hi Katie, it seems like it's got a lot of potential. The features currently in there feel really streamed lined when compared with F360. However, there are some trade-offs between the two that I might do a video on. I can see it catching on for game artist/hardsurfaces folk.

Yez Zir! Never again, I think Nurbs and Voxel based modelling systems are the way forward! Thanks 😊

Its going to take me some time to pick all this up, I am feeling pretty confident in doing it and with tips like this I am sure I will make steady progress. thanks the journey continues :)

Yes, my fumbling has led to some good discoverys ha! and thanks for the tips!

@@digitalste811 it used to render the viewport, but blender opt it out.. it was under the Render sub-menu and was called Render Viewport. if u install the 3.0 version i think or something like that, u will get the viewport rendering (but not very recommended bcoz it doesn't use the global illumination)

@@luciox2919 Thanks for taking the time to share this info! I am looking forward to jumping back into it soon :)

@@digitalste811 no problem, and always turn off the snap button (magnet) when you don't need it

Hey, thanks for pointing that out! I will be sure to turn the mic up in future videos. That is a great Tip as well, I had no idea I could do that, I am enjoying using Blender and I think I will have a lot of fun on my learning journey. I appreciate your support, thanks again! :)

Hey, thanks for the email! I thought I would reply here to clarify the context of the videos and my learning journey. Yeah, shifting with the mouse's middle mouse button (MMB) - muscle memory is stronger than I thought from other programs I use, haha! Watching the playlist you recommended is on my list of things to do, but for now, the idea is to fumble around and allow viewers to see the common learning challenges when someone picks up a new piece of software. In our case, that's Blender! Thanks for your continued support and the time you've taken to share your knowledge, tips, and tricks. I'm confident I'll pick things up at a fairly fast pace! I hope you'll tune in to the next video, as I try to implement some of your tips!

Yes! I hope it gets an update soon. It seems to have a lot of potential! For now, I think it's a good blockout tool that can be used to develop optimised meshes with quad draw or retops mods.

Ps: There are 3 free add-ons/extensions that you can easily install from within blender itself that absolutely every single blender users I know and ever heard of use without exception. Node Wrangler F2 LoopTools Those 3 are mandatory. No seriously. There are plenty more cool an awesome stuff, but those 3 specifically I honestly don't think there is such a thing as a blender user who knows those exist and yet chooses not to use them. They recently changed how you activate those in blender 4.1 or 4.2. I don't remember which (but I would guess 4.2). So be careful if your watch tutorials on that process.

​@@Zhab80 Thank you for your detailed feedback! I really appreciate your input and suggestions. I'm excited to check out those plugins soon, and I hope you enjoyed the content as much as I enjoyed creating it! Let me know if you have any more tips or thoughts as I continue learning. Thanks again!

@@digitalste811 The blender community has a bit of a cycle where older users take care of the new ones. Answering questions on sites, tutorials, free assets or add-ons made available somewhere or something. So far I've been the one on the receiving end. I've been the one furiously taking notes as mad skills was being generously poured upon me. You are my first and I have a feeling that you will overtake me very quickly if this video is anything to go by. But I will help while I still can. I will wait for your next video to find out what (if anything) you still need to know that I could tell you about. Edit: lol you already have your next video. Checking that right now.

Yes, the new video out! Manged to master Pan finally! I had muscle memory clicking Control instead of the Shift 😂! Hope you enjoy the new content, I think I'm about 1:20 hours into blender usage. I still have lots of learning ahead, of course! Again, thank you for your support and detailed responses, I appreciate it, and the time you've taken to engage! I hope the new video is fun for you to watch! 😊

@@digitalste811 You can change settings to industry standards for your keyboard ... Go to Edit > preferences ....and to tranform along local axis for example size along the local Y .... You click S Y Y and then move your selection...

No way 😂!!! Hope you enjoy the video! There a Blender playlist on the channel now so Ill try upload some more vids soon.

Hi mate, I'm good, trust you are as well! Thanks for the feedback 😀

But would it work with a mesh like that? Work flow relies on the high to low construction, the video model would be the high.

Hi, I'm glad you like it! I believe something like that could be added to give the user more control over the style, I'll pop it on the list for the next version build. See what I can do!

Thanks a lot, I appreciate the support. Let me know how you get on. Currently, the full course is only available via the website.

thanks a lot, all the content is on the website at the moment, still need to upload the rest here as well.

Your Dad is called Samantha

I hope your sad life has improved since writing this disgusting comment.

I agree

I Concur

+The NeX, yer sorry about that I need to re-upload the game to my site as I have been tweaking the website lately and moved a few things round, as soon its on then al post you he link!!

okay :)

+The NeX, should be good to go buddy!

thanks :) great level!!

Chris Demst yer I use the Wacom Bamboo tablet myself, its great quality for the price.

Great dude. Did you learn all this and 3ds max at home or you took classes?

I took classes mate dun a foundation degree in game art and animation, then went on to do a degree in creative media and which I Finnish this may!! :)

Sick

so firstly you would need to go to tool/view port canvas/ once you load it up you will get the (VPC tool window) which you can see in my vid on the left. if you then select your model and click on the paint brush icon within the tool bar it will give you texture options, click diffuse and set up the size and save path, then select layer within the tool bar, which will pop open the layer window if you then go to file load you can load in you already made texture, once you have done this there is a clone tool within the brush section which you can then use to sample parts of your texture and paint out your seams!! have a look at this blog it should help: consoul.org.uk/view-port-canvas-3ds-max/#more-680

You are a legend mate thanks for the help :D

Link not working :(
