I’ve had mesh machine for a while now. Probably only used it twice, compared to using Hardops everyday in almost every model. It’d be cool if you could do more mesh machine + hardops stuff
My very first video from you in my youtube feed and go in expecting to expand my horizon about meshmachine but come out with an existential crisis. Nah I'm just kidding, very informative :) I dug a ditch for years too. Never again.
In order to select edge loops that are broken, you can use MeshMachine. You Click one edge in edge select mode, then alt-click the next edge in the loop you want. MeshMachine then tries to select the entire loop regardless of Ngons, tris etc.
@masterxeon1001 I'm sorry dude but I just started watching your topology series (LOVE IT) and I don't know how to do that edge protection macro you are doing. It's not working for me while I try to follow along.
I discuss it many times over the course of this playlist. ua-cam.com/play/PL0RqAjByAphH9emGFNAcha1prKi1P_I3n.html Ctrl + B bevels with the hotkey of P for profile in tool and 2 segments to space edges out protecting the perimeter. Bevel can also be adjusted post operation in the F9 panel. Just change the shape parameter to 1. The hops approach is discussed here among many places. ua-cam.com/video/caKIIxFvISY/v-deo.html
@@masterxeon1001 Roger that, thanks so much for the reply! I tried that and its not working. I think the problem is I'm traveling and I'm working on my old MacbookPro, I've got 2.93 installed and the latest plugins but hotkeys are not the same...
those options have their own problems. I leave those options for users to explore. In the end it would be converted to mesh anyways. Whatever gets it done I suppose.
@@masterxeon1001 Are you using K cycles? I just tried it and I think it's better than E cycles, but Idk if better than Keyshot, though I'm gonna try to use Marmoset first, cause memories of baking?

Really interesting take and presented well

its time will come.

its often in the way more than it assists me. But i still try to calibrate to it. Old habits die hard!
I just wake up and eat polygons... words of wisdom to live by.
*munches*
Thank you for this tutorial!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
good lord that topology was eventually beautiful.
it gets there!
Very good at fixing curve for bevel . Is it possible blender modeled like cad?
Yes and no, it's not a Cad software but with addons and workarounds it's possible.
only one way to find out.
that offset cut tool is just beautiful
i pushed for it to make it out so hard. It was too gud.
@ 2:00 why don't you use MeshMachines edge loop select? Y > Lselect. It works well in this situation.
old habits die hard.
Is there a way to use mesh machine but keep the 1,2,3 hotkeys for the different edit modes, instead of pressing tab to bring the pie menu? Thank you!
they dont interfere with mine. Sounds like machinetools instead of meshmachine
@@masterxeon1001 ahhh that's why haha I'm gonna get into meshmachine then. Thank you so much for putting out such amazing content ❤
MESHMachine 0.7.2 - Can't find Offset Cut, only Offset. Did you use something else to enable such an option?
Found an answer - have to enable Experimental Features in addon settings.
bingo
@@kelheorslab2114 where can I find this "Experimental Features in addon settings."
Hi there, which theme you using?
one of the defaults.

maybe use edge flow addon to sort that topology where both cylinders meet :D :p
aw yea!
Why dot just model in a nrubs program?

& u can use mirror)
mirror tiem!
Thank you master! *Bows in homage*
(Looks like I need to update meshmachine- no offset cut in there for me yet)
enable it as an experimental tool in prefs.
cool
tanks
We like to watch when U eat poligons. More MM + Hardops vids.
they'd be too short.
amazing ¡¡¡ just wake up and eat polygons ¡¡¡¡¡
crunch crunch
You saved more lives than covid vaccines xD
but only if you take it!
This video may be why 4MM ppl in just August 2021 "quit" their jobs never to be seen again...
spirited away

First. :p
and last.
Or just learn how to do it properly with no n-gons.
thanks!
dunno about u guys but i learnt nothing
