I love your way of approaching topics. Before I started watching this series, I was a complete noob in not just Blender, but pretty much 3D Modelling in general. It's not like I'm any less of a beginner now, but I know quite a bit. And that's because of your tutorials. Every single video that I've watched in this series so far has be really beginner-friendly.
Thanks.
Thanks! :)
Note: For Windows anyhow, when browsing Fonts, you can select "Thumbnail View" (to the left of the button up top that says "Normal" and it will then show you a thumbnail preview of each font, instead of just a list of names! Very handy!
Thanks!
:)
Thank you so much for the tip! :D
definitely helps speed things up, good eye sir I was just about to point that out.
Thank you. It works on Mac, too. Alternatively, Mac has, by default, an app called Font Book, as a font browser.
Thank you sir .. This tutorial series is very helpful even in 2022. For some reason I had to download an older version of blender so thanks again for your hard work. When I upgrade my software, I hope to watch your newest tutorial of blender too. Your really good at teaching things even it is really complicated.. Wish you all the best... thanks a lot.
😊
Definitely the Best series of start-up Blender tutorials I've seen on UA-cam so far! Great attention to detail, and explanation of tools & interface. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! I was all about C4D, until I found these tuts!
"Comic Sans: everyone's favourite font" -CGBoorman 2014
Because it is.
Because of a famous character in our favorite game :)
Undertale did not exist back in 2014
Thank you so much for these videos. the detail, speed and explanations are all excellent. I look forward to more advanced tutorials. I have so much to learn and you make it easy and digestible in bites I can consume. Thank you!
I'm on a BornCG marathon right now! I'd tell you to keep em coming but I see I still have some ground to cover. Thanks!
Awesome! :D And yup, and #70 tomorrow. .. Just don't forget to sleep, eat, and go to the bathroom. :P
I'm doing the same, but I'm using blender along side the videos so this could take awhile.
Yup I did too, cheers mate
I'm doing the same as well, I've been dipping in and out of them to learn how to do stuff I've needed but I thought what the hell just start from the beginning and keep going.
love these tutorials... they go right along with the other tutorials from the hut that I watch... very useful...
comic sons is my fab text also
Someone liked this video so much that they turned the screen upside down and liked it again!
As of Blender 2.75, you can preview fonts by using the thumbnail view :)
Thanks for another useful tutorial.
If you're on a Mac, you have an app called Font Book. It's part of OSX.
Can use that to preview any font on your computer.
Thanks again.
Gotta love the way you say "bevel" c;
Bevel bevel bevel Bevel!
Hot.. ;p
Very helpful! thank you so much!
I love these video so much. Very useful. Thank you.
Wordmark.it is a great website that displays all the fonts on your computer. Pretty handy tool for selecting fonts in blender.
My font folder was in /usr/share/fonts "Elementary OS" :)
Good Videos! Keep up the good work man. Learning alot!
Hey! BornCG thenk you for the tutorial they are absolutely great! Just a note regarding texts in non Latin "alphabets" (My two cents):
I have not found a quick way to type other thing but Latin characters.
In my case I was trying thinking that this text could be pretty cool for something like Japanese or Chinese but in Windows, you have to change the input mode to IME (or the like) and type it, and it does not work in Blender (the input mode is ignored as far as I know). BUT, I found an easy way to do it. You can of course type what ever in a wordpad or favorite text editor (for example type 言葉) and copy the words. Then in blender chose a font that supports the symbols (ideograms in this case, an example could be meiryo.ttf in windows) and just paste it. Then you can work with it as any other text :)
Great Tutorial. Thank you.
Alt+c "convert to" awesome, don't use much curve/text stuff because I always have a hard time with remembering how to do this, now I feel silly.
Great videos and thank you for uploading. I was wondering if you would be willing to create a tutorial on how to create Curved 3D text ( Curved Text that would go around an circular object like a half sphere ) and a an "Engraving"text effect on a cube from all sides ( Just like a dice but with 3 line text). That would be very helpful. Thank you very much.
Today's video (Blender 2.7 Tutorial #10 : Intro to Materials and Nodes in Cycles) is being delayed because of EXTREMELY slow internet tonight, and video frame-rate & audio-syncing issues in Premiere earlier today. TWO videos tomorrow! =D
BornCG It's up!
I am not able to find Taper object and Bevel object (or geometry section) options in blender version 2.74
... can someone please help me ...
What about special characters that are not in the "text" menu?
mines came out black after making it mesh why is that?
If I want to curve the text?
Beginner here, amazing series, can't thank you enough. I'm having issues with engraving text on a subdivided surface, Boolean distorts the mesh. Any suggestions on videos of yours to watch that might help. (I'm making dice with engraved numbers, like for DnD)
Distorts the mesh, Or does it just create a mess of triangles and ngons? I'd try the 'knife project tool' next - I have a tutorial on it. It will create an outline of edges (like a precise knife cut) on the surface of an object using another object as a 'cookie cutter' -- you can then extrude the faces you outline inward for the effect you're looking for.
Personally I just use the Boolean Modifier, then clean up the mesh usingeither 'limited dissolve' and/or the remesh modifier.
whenever I apply the boolean it distorts the face of the object, like triangles are coming over across the part that should be engraved, same thing happens when I try to knife project on a subdivided surface. I did a limited dissolve to fix the mesh of the number but it's still happening.
Tried to apply the subsurface modifier to text after converting it. Worst idea in Blender I ever had since the infinite array of donuts.
I dont have "text" option in my add menu.. Using 2.79
If you're in edit mode of a mesh or some mode other than object mode, you won't see add - text. Otherwise it's definitely still in 2.79.
I'm very new to Blender and I'm just wondering how do you move your camera angle?
The uploader explains that in the first video of this series. Hold down the mousewheel to orbit. Hold down shift and the mousewheel to pan. Scroll the wheel to zoom.
TumacroGG It would be best idea that you start from the first episode mate :D
Filip Matković Yeah xD
how do u save the text too use in something
The term you're looking for is render. Once you render (draw) a frame, you can save the image using the menu below the image. Press f12 or the render button to render.
Yes I did work that out after you click image then save as image. But thank you for your response.(i subbed to you)
how do you just... switch OS? 5:53
Haha, at the time I was recording this tutorial on a spec’d up 2012 Mac mini, and I had parallels desktop emulating windows running, so I just flipped over to that on my next desktop/space.
@@BornCG ohhh that's very clever
5:16 He prophesied UNDERTALE?
in windows how to find fonts?
got it....
Calling glitches a feature xD
