@@DanielKrafft So I was thinking we could have an entire video explaining all of the modifications in Blender. You mean to make an entire video everyone wants but no one wants to do? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
10:30 I've seen the Mask modifier used a lot to hide topology under clothes in order to prevent clipping. You can make a driver to a custom property, then link the mask to the visibility of a clothing item, so whenever you turn the clothing on, the mask also turns on and hides the skin underneath
Fuck, I should've thought about that when I was weight painting clothes on an avatar for the 3rd(?) time. UPDATE: After taking a break from working on it, I finally got around to applying this technique (as well as learning how drivers work). Holy shit, my avatar is much more optimized (and I have also made it easier to quickly switch between long and short sleeves with just a click).
Absolutely lost it at the Lapacian Deform segment, that was hilarious! Another great video Daniel, informative and entertaining. Thanks for putting this together!
I really want you to know that people really appreciate sincere efforts made by people like you. This is the kinda content that would need thousands of dollars to learn, but you do it for free. Bless you my good man!
Thank you soooo much! I've just started leanring 3d art and Blender with a small cource, and on my second lesson they suggested me to look for all modificators and suggested read all the official docs or watch videos of one guy who talks about each modificator for 30 mins. And that is kid of too much for brief look. This is really what every beginner need. Thank you!
Yo I feel like I am actually going to cry??? I learned more from this one video than years of tutorials and professional tips and q&as I'm so happy I could throw up, thank you bro This is literally what I've needed for so long. I hope someone else who does 3d art could use this / finds it helpful. Blender is a free program but learning how to use it is the scariest and most daunting thing, and not many people can afford to take the time and money to take classes on it. So for a truly free blender experience, it's just heartache and fear. But not anymore. I owe you my life.
You're a saint, despite having used the program for quite some time this taught me about modifiers I never would have used otherwise! Thank you so much!
As an absolute beginner I am super thankful for your videos. Before your "explaining all nodes" I was absolutely lost when I should make a material. Thank you so much!
The mask modifier is great when dealing with complex rigs, like i use it for eyes and clothes a lot. If you are working with a model that has animated clothes over a base mesh, you can hide the parts that would be under those clothes, so you don't have to worry about intersections and geometry overlapping. Also eyes generally have this glass like lens material over the actual pupils so it sometimes gets hard to see where your character is looking. Yeah, all of this could be solved by proxys but I'm lazy, so the mask modifyer gets rid of snything complex I can't just hide on the outliner
I'm trying to learn Blender, but I happened to had the greatest laugh since the Covid pandemic started. Man, the Laplacian Hors-affe and Smooth Suzanne made me cry. Thanks for those explanations and making my day...
Man, your videos are like handbooks. I am so bad at memorizing things, I can only remember things by using them at high frequency. When I try to use some tricks but I forgot how to do it, I come to your channel and I know you have it. Even crazier, sometimes I just leave your youtube page open in my broswer's tab when working in Blender because I know I can find quick tips in your vids faster than searching on Google and filtering the info I want.

I needed this so much. thank you. there's only so much you can learn while playing around with certain features and a lot of times you don't even know or see differences in effects.
I watched your video completely although I have nothing to do with the animation and modifiers. Now I have downloaded Blender. Thanks a lot for your time.
Thanks for sharing this super useful overview. Especially for experienced 3D artists moving to Blender and not fussed about watching lengthy tutorials ;)
Thanks for the quick video on each modifier. This is just what I needed. ! ALSO..and BIG THANKS FOR THIS: Most everyone of us TRULY appreciate your mic technique. Thank you so much for not smacking your mouth after every important point you make. You are getting much much longer watch times - I definitely click off of videos if I have to listen to someone smack their mouth in self satisfaction after every thing they teach. THANKS
Because you marked each spot in the Video because you made each spot show up with a lable telling me what each one does; I liked and I subscribed THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK. You UNDERSTAND!
Just watching another tute vid, and I was reminded of another use of it: it’s an easy fix if part of your character’s body is poking through their clothes-just mask out that part of their mesh.
I am a very big picture mind kind of guy, and the requirement of understanding the big picture is having all the details. This videos have been so immensely helpful for me, Daniel! Thank you so much!
Mask modifier is useful for characters to hide parts of the body under clothes so you don't have to deal with clipping and the like. So it's super useful if you ant to hide part of a mesh without being destructive or making unnecessary modified copies.
Watched this on my pc and I'm not logged in, went straight to my phone to get you the like and sub, great work man I'm gonna watch this alot for a few days to remember everthing switching from c4d to blender is sure easy with this
Thanks for this very helpful video. For the edge split modifier: as it is spliting of the faces which is really annoying, there is also a split command in edit mode > mesh > normals which keeps the mesh intact. If anyone is interested in indepth information there is a video on my channel.

Great video, I only wish you'd take your time to explain things slower. I don't mind sitting through a 3 hour video. One can't learn via the rush......
You can hear his sanity fading away the more he explains... jokes aside, that's a great video really helpful! thank you! My man really started at 1:19PM and finished in 2:03AM what a chad
Damn this is exactly the video I needed! I couldn't find/figure out out what the three vertex modifiers exactly did on the faces when I was looking at the Spring armature, but now it makes a lot of sense. For reference they were used to increase the weighting of the upper outer eyelid bone on the lower eyelid as it got closer, correctly deforming the lower eye for free! There's also something being done with wrinkles tied to the bone that's one the corner of the mouth.
At last! A blow-by-blow abstract tutorial on what each function does instead of how some but not all modifiers apply to a project that a UA-camr randomly decided we must be forced to watch! Thank you!
I rarely subscribe to channels. But you sir have earned it. I will spread the word so that your channel gets the recognition it deserves. Keep up the good work, you made my blender journey a lot easier
Thank you for all your overview videos. I'm exploring every section of blender. Shockingly I haven't found the proper use to booleans yet but one step at a time.
I know how to use Blender but I didn’t understand what a lot of the modifiers did, so thank you for this video it helped me understand them very quickly and easily.
@@DanielKrafft Coming from traditional CAD the modifiers were one point that got me some time to understand. Your video kind of filled the last blanks in my knowledge.
im just learning how to use blender and all these options that i dont know how to use are so overwhelming ! but this video helps a lot with understanding the program, thanks for making this video :)
As someone who knows nothing this video is great to show what everything does and what blender calls each function, then you can pick what you see yourself using and with the new found power of "knowing what blender calls the thing you wanted to do", go watch specific tutorials on that operation.
12:51 oh, you said the thing! Very cool! Pitch meeting references are TIGHT! (Ryan George anyone?) (I hope he was actually making a reference or else I'm gonna look like a fool)
One really awesome use I've seen for the Mask modifier--Let's say you want to create an approximation of the disintegration effect a la the Snap from Infinity War: 1) Two meshes for use in a boolean modifier 1a) Animate the position of the carver mesh so it gradually envelops the whole of the target mesh 2) Dynamic paint with very small proximity set to output a vertex group defining the faces where the two meshes "touch" 3) Mask modifier limited to this evolving vertex group 4) Particle system that uses modifier stack 4a) Particles only emit from these dynamically changing faces as the boolean sweeps through the target mesh Essentially: with dynamic paint, you can use the mask modifier to determine where particles emit on fairly complex, evolving meshes. (edit: formatting)
This video really makes learning about modifiers super easy, barely an inconvenience. Thank you for doing this, even though I've been using Blender for like two years in my free time there were a couple modifiers I had never used/understood before :)
GOD YOUR VIDS ARE ADDICTIVE I LIKE YOUR DEMONSTRATIONS THEY'RE EDUCATIONAL, FUNNY, EFFICIENT, SIMPLE AND HELP SHOWCASE THE ACTUAL USE OF THE MODIFIER UNLIKE ALOT OF TUTORS THAT USE INCREDIBLY SIMPLE MESHES TO SHOWCASE SPECIFIC USES WHICH LEAVES YOU HANGING WHEN YOU THINK OF A COMPLEX OBJECT SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN THESE VIDEOS YOU'VE TAUGHT SO MANY PEOPLE SO MANY COOL THINGS AND THAT SHALL FOREVER BE APPRECIATED
You rock dude! For mesh cache, I used them all the time when I import animated trees from Speedtree. Speedtree will export an FBX with a PC2 cache. Plug the cache in the modifier and you got yourself an animated tree!
@@DanielKrafft Actually, after watching your clip, I tried this: I created a vertex group for all the leaves, I added a displacement modifier, used a texture driven by an empty object and I got the same result, even better because I don't need a 2 gig cache file and I have more control over the speed and amplitude the leaves move. No more speed tree caches for me! All thanks to you! :-)
I don't know if you're into sculpting but if you do, I suggest make a video about each brushes, how they work and what you can use them for. Other than that, I'm very appreciated that you're making videos like these especially for Blender beginners like me :)
This is amazing! Thank you so much man! I love how concise the video and how you showed the examples of how to use each modifier! You are a Blender Legend :)

The mask modifier is great when dealing with complex rigs, like i use it for eyes and clothes a lot. If you are working with a model that has animated clothes over a base mesh, you can hide the parts that would be under those clothes, so you don't have to worry about intersections and geometry overlapping. Also eyes generally have this glass like lens material over the actual pupils so it sometimes gets hard to see where your character is looking. Yeah, all of this could be solved by proxys but I'm lazy, so the mask modifyer gets rid of snything complex I can't just hide on the outliner

One really awesome use I've seen for the Mask modifier--Let's say you want to create an approximation of the disintegration effect a la the Snap from Infinity War:
1) Two meshes for use in a boolean modifier
1a) Animate the position of the carver mesh so it gradually envelops the whole of the target mesh
2) Dynamic paint with very small proximity set to output a vertex group defining the faces where the two meshes "touch"
3) Mask modifier limited to this evolving vertex group
4) Particle system that uses modifier stack
4a) Particles only emit from these dynamically changing faces as the boolean sweeps through the target mesh
Essentially: with dynamic paint, you can use the mask modifier to determine where particles emit on fairly complex, evolving meshes.

That’s pretty creative! Thanks for sharing it (:
I did this one on a short movie i participated on.
You can see it around 2:30 ua-cam.com/video/7F0BVJfo--8/v-deo.html
First nodes and now this? You’re a madman!
Kyle Boynton Thank you!
This video really makes learning about modifiers super easy, barely an inconvenience. Thank you for doing this, even though I've been using Blender for like two years in my free time there were a couple modifiers I had never used/understood before :)
GOD YOUR VIDS ARE ADDICTIVE I LIKE YOUR DEMONSTRATIONS THEY'RE EDUCATIONAL, FUNNY, EFFICIENT, SIMPLE AND HELP SHOWCASE THE ACTUAL USE OF THE MODIFIER UNLIKE ALOT OF TUTORS THAT USE INCREDIBLY SIMPLE MESHES TO SHOWCASE SPECIFIC USES WHICH LEAVES YOU HANGING WHEN YOU THINK OF A COMPLEX OBJECT SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THE EFFORT YOU PUT IN THESE VIDEOS YOU'VE TAUGHT SO MANY PEOPLE SO MANY COOL THINGS AND THAT SHALL FOREVER BE APPRECIATED
THANKS FOR THE COMMENT MAN I APPRECIATE IT AND THANKS FOR WATCHING
You're some kind of god. First the node video now this!
Inspirational sharing is caring thank you all arts community much respect.
Pretty comprehensive tutorial on modifiers
Mirror + skin + subdivide is the perfect modifier stack for making base shapes for character/animal sculpting.
I LOVE YOU SO MUCH
❤❤❤
The video was well explained and also not boring.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it :D
This is the "Tool video" that everyone need!
You rock dude! For mesh cache, I used them all the time when I import animated trees from Speedtree. Speedtree will export an FBX with a PC2 cache. Plug the cache in the modifier and you got yourself an animated tree!
Great tip! Thank you!
@@DanielKrafft Actually, after watching your clip, I tried this: I created a vertex group for all the leaves, I added a displacement modifier, used a texture driven by an empty object and I got the same result, even better because I don't need a 2 gig cache file and I have more control over the speed and amplitude the leaves move. No more speed tree caches for me! All thanks to you! :-)
I don't know if you're into sculpting but if you do, I suggest make a video about each brushes, how they work and what you can use them for. Other than that, I'm very appreciated that you're making videos like these especially for Blender beginners like me :)
Screw is also used for extrusion and lathe which are some very useful tools. worth mentioning.
The surface deform modifier is amazing. Thank you for this!
This is amazing! Thank you so much man! I love how concise the video and how you showed the examples of how to use each modifier! You are a Blender Legend :)
Thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed!
