Yep, used to watch Commander Koenig, Helena, Alan and Maya every week as a kid. I just can't believe anyone *else* watched it too!
This and the follow up video I found hugely inspiring, helped me no end, and taught me plenty too :) Now I just need to go watch the rest of your videos.

I love how you started with the sphere, something so simple that I thought it was a joke, but then continued to thoroughly demonstrate to me that I am actually the joke here.
Brilliant! Thanks so much for this. This ship has been my favorite ( along with the Enterprise refit version ) for many decades. I searched for a tutorial with no hope of actually finding one, and found this. I downloaded the blueprints. Thanks again for providing them. Subscribed
This is getting scary further and further into the video. I realized that I haven't even scraped and learned more than 25% about 3D modelling in blender. I must admit that I'm not that creative enough to model like you do in this 28min. tutorial. Thank you for the tutorial by the way. Hopefully I can try and finish the model with your given blueprint. Nice cookies in the end!
Why you first sepearte the mesh and the move them and then again bridge them. Simply hit extrude with the selected half. At 18:30, just relax the vertices.
hey bob i challenge you to model a detailed bolt/screw with only subdiv modelling, or anything else with complex curvature with holes/insets for your next tutorial 😉...
OMG! All I can say is that you are like a breath of freash air around the Blender modeling tutorials on youtube! Just from this 'simple' tutorial, I already picked out so many things I could learn from. Thanks for your time!
Thanks so much for the continued amazing content. This is just on another level to basically any other tutorials out there. Looking forward to part 2. Keep it up!!!
Mirror modifier would work better for symmetrical objects. If you mirror across one axis, you half your work; 2 axes, you do 1/4 of the work; all 3 axes you do 1/8 of the work. You can also nest the mirror modifier. For instance, for the pods where the landing legs protrude from are symmetrical on the X and Y axes, so that's one mirror. It's symmetrical across the centerline of the vehicle, so you add an empty on the centerline then pick it as the mirror object. I think those pods are symmetrical fore and aft, so you can move the empty so its in between, now you have four for the price of one. I'm glad you have the link to the Array tools though. It looks really handy. I don't know why something like that isn't included in Blender's core code.
That’s dope! Right now I am modeling asset for a short animation, thats a very useful insight on how to keep low poly everywhere, and reasonable subdivide usage. Been through many abstract design tutorials where subdivision goes nuts, lol. Thank you, very useful channel.
I love your tutorials! They are so refreshing to watch and I always learn something new or get a well needed reminder of Blender functions I used to use and forgot over time. Thanks.
@@BlenderBob their tutorials are simple and straightforward, which helps to understand how a vfx studio works. and his good mood, talking about the discord and eating a cookie at the end of the video. sometimes good humor is what is most lacking in the world.
Just found this the other day and I have all the steps modeled. I can't wait for Part 2...and btw, I have the best cookie recipe in the world. Sea Salted Caramel, Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal Chocolate Chip. Definitely the longest named cookies. 😂
Wonderful Tutorial! I'm studying blender but I'm not so good by myself. I need to follow tutorial, I think it's a good way to learn it. Your way to do this is very pleasant. I loved the wy oyu wxplain how to model. Sometimes I feel stuck because I don't know how to start to model a certain thing, and you gave me very useful trick to learn. Thanks! PS: I have always loved Space: 1999
thanks for that, this is why i failed miserably at distord round polygonal object with displacement texture, after all those years of 3D practicing since 2001. i seriously need to manage the distribution of my quad arround rounder object, it could make my udim and texturing job much easyier ...
You can turn on experimental in Cycles. It will work no matter what (after you add a subdivision modifier. That is, if your model is sub dividable. Check my clip 1A for more info
@@BlenderBob im already using it, but i need to make my model more clean, before surfacing with substance painter, could make a huge difference, i always work as " Less is More " especialy with the texturing and sculpting tool we have today, i also do some stuff with metaballs and in Zbrush, but i prefer make very clean model before sculpting anything, make my posing and animation life easyier...
BoB Sir I watched your every video I am not a very intelligent student, I completed this video in 3 days 10 minutes every day, Now I moved toward Not so basic modeling tutorial
Ma mère a essayé ta recette mais ... c'est vraiment une mauvaise cuisinière, c'était immangeable 😜😄 Je vais tenter le coup ça ne pourra pas être pire 😂 And they right, for the best but you're insane !!!
Bob! This channel is new gem, I’m so glad people like you are exist! :) Have you done those sims at 3-30 in Blender or maybe this is Houdini. Such realistic and beautiful! Maybe you have time to make some tutorials on that ground dust explosions etc. I would definitely became your patreon if you put such kind of tutorials there. Only one man I’m subscribed on patreon - Ian Hubert. You will be second if you go there :))
14:57 If you press Ctrl + *Shift* + Num- , BoolTool will automatically apply the modifier and delete the cutter object. (Which BoolTool for some awful reason calls "Auto" mode. What you did (hotkey without Shift) is called "Brush" mode...)
@@BlenderBob Yeah, there's a lot, even before activating any add-ons... Thankfully, I think all functions & operators can be found in the menus (BoolTool in the sidebar under "Edit") and/or via the Search tool. BTW, your custom hotkey setup feels both bonkers and extremely cool to me. Glad you found a way to make it work how you need it! :D
Yeah and because I customized my hot keys so much I can’t show the keystrokes. A lot of people ask me to turn them on. That’s why I go in the menues to show what functions I use.
I believe you know what you are doing, but I am often surprised at how many experienced modelers are content to simply "eyeball" properties that can, and often should be, exact. In this case, you basically guessed at the proper Factor for the Cast Modifier. The proper setting for a sphere is 1.0 . In many cases, nobody can tell the difference, but in more precision work in which parts need to mesh and work together, small inaccuracies can compound into a useless mess - which I'm certain you are aware of, not only in modeling, but in Tracking, Compositing, Rigging, etc.
Well, you saw my clip on imperfections. If you want to avoid the CG look, you have to break stuff intentionally. See the Flexseal clip. We're not doing engineering. That was the problem on Welcome to Marwen. The VFX sup was crazy about getting everything to the quarter of the mm. And that's totally pointless because nobody can tell. Imagne, three retakes on bullet shells! But all we see are hundreds of blurry cylinders. Who cares if they are 3 mm too long? We went way over budget on the modeling because if his insanity. Every guns, props, chairs, ANYTHING, even if it's far away, had to be perfect because that's what he wanted. That's not the way to go. The only time you need perfect accuracy is when you do a CG takeover, where you replace a real model with a CG one.
@@BlenderBob Thanks. I agree - I've delt with the perfectionist CG sups myself, and they have their place where appropriate. I'm not here to argue, but to clarify. In a case of rigging, a misshaped sphere or inexact pivot point could cause wobbly motion or interpenetration problems between objects. I'm just saying mathematical precision has it's place, and should be applied where appropriate.
The subdivision operator from the w popup has a smoothness setting you can set to 1.0 to get a near perfect sphere out of a cube (as long as you use enough cuts) and you can follow it up with a "to sphere" operator if you want to be sure it is properly spherical (I don't think this one has a shortcut anymore, I just use the search popup to run it).
😂Maybe you are a little bit insane, but you are amazing too man! thank you for sharing your experience!! I have just discovered your channel thanks to Blender Guru and I can't wait to drain all your knowledge from your videos!! 🤣 and maybe some recipes too... Great video anyway! :)
Another method to create a sphere. Spawn a cube and subdivide it sufficiently and using cast modifier set the factor to 1. It won't workwith catmull Clark subdivision so subdivide in edit mode
That crash montage was great lol!! What is up with this show? That montage is also the most I've ever seen of it. Heard of it for years but never watched it. Are the redshirts flying those or what?
13:00-13:36 I'm sure someone else has already mentioned this, but you can also isolate an object by using the forward slash key that is normally on the numpad on a qwerty keyboard.. not sure if you can use the the this key ?/ (the one that has the question mark and the slash)
Thanks! I just used a glare node in compositing. There's also a blur and a lens distortion to break the CG look. I will explain it next this weekend for part 2.
7:42 :D I'm honestly surprised how well the auto captions worked: "we're gonna add these _smidge much h mood"_ "i was just thinking about the subtitles people who use the subtitles how it's going to translate these _mushrooms"_
This was fun. I was between ten and eleven when Space 1999 was on TV, 1976 in Sweden. I was amazed then, but it don't look that great with modern standards :) I was convincing my selves then that the cockpit was design to detach from the rest of the craft when crashing. OK the cookies, I try not to eat cookies, not even from Kevin Cookie Company and I think Kevin Statvert has some kind of cookie UA-cam franchise. So sorry. Now to the serious stuff, has anyone here told you that you don't know 3d modeling ? Shame on them in that case! Keep up the good work! Maybe a future tutorial can be a animation of a crashing Eagle on the dusty Moon surface?

Hey BlenderBob I have a question that I wanted to ask but I don't know anyone with the same experience as you to answer it. I'm trying to create completely photoreal humans/ rigs that can be animated with as much quality and complexity I can throw at it. I've been looking around and the majority of the companies I looked at use Maya/ Houdini to create their humans (specifically weta digital with the Gemini man) which honestly. Blew me away in ways I didn't know where possible. So my question is. Can blender be used as a substitute for Maya in a movie like Gemini man. I am planning on learning Houdini so I can implement it into my workflow. Any help or any places where I can learn Houdini or creating complex humans/ human faces is greatly appreciated. Side note: We never got the cat cameos...
Well, you have to understand that making a photorealistic human is the holy grail of CG. This is not a one man job. They probably had 10 people developing it. I can tell that at Method I took the model and the textures for one of the aliens and I assembled them in Blender. I got a result that was very close to the render man version. What is used to model the character is irrelevant. What you use to animate it is irrelevant. The only thing that's really important are textures, look dev, lighting and of course the renderer. Cycles can do it. I know because i tried it. But there's a reason why Gemini Man blew you away: WETA. They have years of experience doing this. It's really really hard.
Pardon me for chiming in here - but IMO you could get really close to very realistic in Blender - but like Bob said, it's rare for one person to be able to pull it off - because the more realistic you get, the more work it takes - and it's a LOT of work. Lighting, shading, camera work, animation ... all contribute to the *perception* of realism - and they all play off each other. I would say that animation is more critical than some of the other aspects - because if it doesn't move "right", it's going to look fake - which is where you get into micro-expressions and slide comfortably into the Uncanny Valley. Check out Chris Jones' work (Wrinkles and Skin Slide) and Face Rig testing. He's done - and is doing - some amazing stuff.
@@BlenderBob Thank you this is really informative. I am planning to switch to renderman as theres a version for it coming out for blender "renderman 24" for rendering. but the main issue im running into is creating the expressions and shapekeys. I cant seem to find the proper way to know what sort of shapekeys im suppose to sculpt. From what I know there are a base of 51 shapkeys for the face but for characters like thanos and gemini man they expanded the shapekey element down to the neck.
@@george.exe_stopped_working Good luck with Renderman. It's the most complicated renderer. Super powerful though. I'm not using shape keys for my job so I can't help you on that. Sorry!
@@BlenderBob quick question will you be trying renderman for blender aswell or will you stay for cycles as of now? Because cycles X does look promising aswell.
Space 1999 and the Eagle have been for me, when I was a kid, what Star Trek and the Enterprise are for trekkies. Sorry! PS: This video goes straight into my saved list of all the "Must watch over and over and all over again"...
The way I model in real life and the way I do it in my clips are quite different. I completely remapped my keyboard so I can't show my hotkeys. I go in the menues to show people what I'm doing. Just saying press whatever key to do something doesn't teach which tool it is. Thanks for the comments :-)
Love the video - however, you go through things very quickly and as you have customised settings/shortcuts, some things do not appear to work or are as easy to do as you do them. eg. When you split the sphere to create a cylinder, both your halves appear to be 1 object, however, when I do it, it creates 2 separate objects so I cannot BRIDGE the edges? Do you have another video where you configure Blender, install addons, customise settings etc..?
Icospheres are triangles. You want to keep your model as quads as much as possible. You can check my clips 1a to 1e. I talk about this somewhere. Actually, I think I talk about it in a few other clips too. Forgot which one. I’m old...
@@BlenderBob No probs, I'm new to the channel, planning to watch all eventually, I'm sure I'll come across them. And thanks for the explanation Bob, that makes sense.
This is a FANTASTIC collection of tips for hard surface noobs. BUT. It's strange that it's as tutorial about copying a model that you already have. Working on reference pics would have been more interesting. Also, how is a pie menu better than just pressing E to extrude? You're a strange guy
Hm did i just actually not send my comments or did they get hidden/deleted because i cant see them when im logged in or in a private browser window (fully logged out)?
YT automatically deletes comments with links unless they are YT links. You can try to trick the system by changing maybe http for hhhp (I will understand what it's a link) or go to Facebook or on my NEW SHINNY DISCORD SERVER! :-)

I made a mistake! It's not separate, it's split that you need to do when you cut the sphere in two.
you could just select the middle ring and push the Y button..it will split the object into two parts
@@geraldhoffpauir5048 Cool! But I got even better than that (for that situation). You will see in part 2 this weekend. :-)

Thanks! I just used a glare node in compositing. There's also a blur and a lens distortion to break the CG look. I will explain it next this weekend for part 2.
7:42 :D I'm honestly surprised how well the auto captions worked:
"we're gonna add these _smidge much h mood"_
"i was just thinking about the subtitles people who use the subtitles how it's going to translate these _mushrooms"_
thank you, you teaches a lot of things.....
This was fun. I was between ten and eleven when Space 1999 was on TV, 1976 in Sweden. I was amazed then, but it don't look that great with modern standards :) I was convincing my selves then that the cockpit was design to detach from the rest of the craft when crashing. OK the cookies, I try not to eat cookies, not even from Kevin Cookie Company and I think Kevin Statvert has some kind of cookie UA-cam franchise. So sorry. Now to the serious stuff, has anyone here told you that you don't know 3d modeling ? Shame on them in that case! Keep up the good work! Maybe a future tutorial can be a animation of a crashing Eagle on the dusty Moon surface?
To set up a permanent link for discord:
1. In your server, above your list of channels you will see your name, click that and select "invite people".
2. A box will appear with a link to copy, beneath the link box you will see "Your invite link expires in 7 days. Edit invite link" .
3. In the next window select the "Expires After" drop down, and choose "never"
4. Click the "Generate New Link" button and copy the new link.
5. Throw new link at everyone you talk to until your server is overrun with random strangers.
It should be a permanent link. I’ll check
when you made the sphere, you forgot to apply the rotation and scale before using your displacement mod ;) ....other than that, I enjoyed the video....thanks for sharing :)
Faster way to create a sphere from a cube: SHIFT A -> MESH -> ROUND CUBE ... Change Operator Preset to "Quadsphere"
Yep! Already in Part 2! :-)
@@BlenderBob Sorry, didn't get that far yet.
I like when people give me tricks and tips. I included a few in part 2. Like dissolving an edge while keeping the vertices.
5:39 holy shit my tip was useful. I am honored. Lmaoooo
thanks a lot for outstanding work!
Thank you! Amazing tutorial
The "Buster Keaton" of Blender teachers :-) (To be honest: Not really aplicable for newbies, but with a bit of experience your videos are worth every second - and very entertaining! Are you sure to work in FX-industry and not being a comedian? :-) )
I’m a huge Buster Keaton fan!
Merci pour tes tuto Blender Bob, je me coucherai moin bête ce soir ...
My God, this was deep. Way too deep for me
You can do it. One step at a time
Hey BlenderBob I have a question that I wanted to ask but I don't know anyone with the same experience as you to answer it. I'm trying to create completely photoreal humans/ rigs that can be animated with as much quality and complexity I can throw at it. I've been looking around and the majority of the companies I looked at use Maya/ Houdini to create their humans (specifically weta digital with the Gemini man) which honestly. Blew me away in ways I didn't know where possible. So my question is. Can blender be used as a substitute for Maya in a movie like Gemini man. I am planning on learning Houdini so I can implement it into my workflow. Any help or any places where I can learn Houdini or creating complex humans/ human faces is greatly appreciated.
Side note: We never got the cat cameos...
Well, you have to understand that making a photorealistic human is the holy grail of CG. This is not a one man job. They probably had 10 people developing it. I can tell that at Method I took the model and the textures for one of the aliens and I assembled them in Blender. I got a result that was very close to the render man version. What is used to model the character is irrelevant. What you use to animate it is irrelevant. The only thing that's really important are textures, look dev, lighting and of course the renderer. Cycles can do it. I know because i tried it. But there's a reason why Gemini Man blew you away: WETA. They have years of experience doing this. It's really really hard.
Pardon me for chiming in here - but IMO you could get really close to very realistic in Blender - but like Bob said, it's rare for one person to be able to pull it off - because the more realistic you get, the more work it takes - and it's a LOT of work. Lighting, shading, camera work, animation ... all contribute to the *perception* of realism - and they all play off each other. I would say that animation is more critical than some of the other aspects - because if it doesn't move "right", it's going to look fake - which is where you get into micro-expressions and slide comfortably into the Uncanny Valley.
Check out Chris Jones' work (Wrinkles and Skin Slide) and Face Rig testing. He's done - and is doing - some amazing stuff.
@@BlenderBob Thank you this is really informative. I am planning to switch to renderman as theres a version for it coming out for blender "renderman 24" for rendering. but the main issue im running into is creating the expressions and shapekeys. I cant seem to find the proper way to know what sort of shapekeys im suppose to sculpt. From what I know there are a base of 51 shapkeys for the face but for characters like thanos and gemini man they expanded the shapekey element down to the neck.
@@george.exe_stopped_working Good luck with Renderman. It's the most complicated renderer. Super powerful though. I'm not using shape keys for my job so I can't help you on that. Sorry!
@@BlenderBob quick question will you be trying renderman for blender aswell or will you stay for cycles as of now? Because cycles X does look promising aswell.
thanks!! :D
Amazing teacher! 💯💥👍
Thank you so much !
08:38 For this option you can just access it by right clicking then set origin => origin to 3D cursor.
Select Edge Rings:
Ctrl + Alt + Right click (With standard Blender Keymap)
Toggle to local view:
/ (On Numpad. Standard Blender Keymap)
Love you Tutorial Bob!
Xie xie!
Space 1999 and the Eagle have been for me, when I was a kid, what Star Trek and the Enterprise are for trekkies. Sorry!
PS: This video goes straight into my saved list of all the "Must watch over and over and all over again"...
I don’t know anybody that didn’t like the eagles.
Amazing!
i like you video, they are funny, but I think you miss many shortcuts that make more easier the modeling.
The way I model in real life and the way I do it in my clips are quite different. I completely remapped my keyboard so I can't show my hotkeys. I go in the menues to show people what I'm doing. Just saying press whatever key to do something doesn't teach which tool it is. Thanks for the comments :-)
Love the video - however, you go through things very quickly and as you have customised settings/shortcuts, some things do not appear to work or are as easy to do as you do them.
eg. When you split the sphere to create a cylinder, both your halves appear to be 1 object, however, when I do it, it creates 2 separate objects so I cannot BRIDGE the edges?
Do you have another video where you configure Blender, install addons, customise settings etc..?
Yeah, I made a mistake in my clip. It's not separate, it's split. But actually you can just select the polygons and extrude. By bad
@@BlenderBob Much better thanks.
great tutorial! Is there a way to make Viewport Subdivisions with a hit on the button like in Maya or Modo? Its the 3 button in Maya or Tab in Modo.
Ctrl 1? Works for me but then again I remapped so many keys
@@BlenderBob thanks! I tried mapping the key yesterday and it worked :-)
Thanks for blueprints, i want to model and post it #bobvfx
Subscribed, eagle 1999, gotta love it.
At 4:45, what is the result if you use an icosphere? Isn't that easier than using a cube? Genuinely curious. Thanks
Icospheres are triangles. You want to keep your model as quads as much as possible. You can check my clips 1a to 1e. I talk about this somewhere. Actually, I think I talk about it in a few other clips too. Forgot which one. I’m old...
@@BlenderBob No probs, I'm new to the channel, planning to watch all eventually, I'm sure I'll come across them. And thanks for the explanation Bob, that makes sense.
The subtitles came out - “mushroom”
Endgone is hand gun 😂😂😂😂
This is a FANTASTIC collection of tips for hard surface noobs. BUT. It's strange that it's as tutorial about copying a model that you already have. Working on reference pics would have been more interesting. Also, how is a pie menu better than just pressing E to extrude? You're a strange guy
My pie menu has all three extrude options. :-)
@@BlenderBob taking notes here
"smidge much h mood shade smooth " =D
Ha ha! I forgot to try. Tx
@@BlenderBob Thank YOU, for the fantastic videos!
@@CarpeUniversum You're welcome!
Hm did i just actually not send my comments or did they get hidden/deleted because i cant see them when im logged in or in a private browser window (fully logged out)?
YT automatically deletes comments with links unless they are YT links. You can try to trick the system by changing maybe http for hhhp (I will understand what it's a link) or go to Facebook or on my NEW SHINNY DISCORD SERVER! :-)
