I recently landed my first professional job out of University (where I also studied ID!) by using Blender for modelling and motion graphics - I cant thank you enough for all your tutorials and the skills you have helped me develop - forever grateful 🙏🏻
I have been using Blender for a while and have seen countless tutorials. Just came across yours and feel like my time has finally paid off. Thanks a lot man! Keep making these great tutorials
I've been playing around with Blender for around 4 months now and this was exactly the tutorial I was looking for, really happy with the result! Nicely explained use of the cloth simulations and general concepts used for modelling. A really good all-round tutorial from start to finish (modelling, lighting, shading, decals & simulations). Made a few minor tweaks for my own personal touch and ended up with a really convincing super realistic render. Thanks!
G+G = Move/slide against the shape Bevel weight = If you have modifier and want some place only P = separate by selection F2 = Rename 15:00 = Making seams on the cloth (simulation)
step-by-step instructions to if your bevel doesn't show: Start by selecting the mesh that you want to bevel. Press "Tab" to go into Edit mode. Press "A" to select all vertices in the mesh. In the "Mesh" menu at the top of the screen, select "Merge by Distance". This will eliminate any duplicate vertices in your mesh. If that doesn't solve the problem, it might be an issue with the normals. To fix this, still in Edit mode, select the mesh and go to "Mesh" > "Normals" > "Recalculate Outside". This should ensure that all the faces are facing in the correct direction. After following these steps, try using the bevel tool again and see if it works.
I have been working and using Blender professionally for years, I wish I had this kind of tutorials back on time, really well explained and so effficient workflow. Thank you. Only one recommendation, I work sometimes for fashion industry and they are really picky about the cloth simulation/realism, I think for this specific project is great how you do it but if you ned something more realistic and accurate simulations, I recomment to scale the object up like 10 times so the simulation is more accurate and realistic, specially when you want to have an animation
Ive been teaching myself blender over the past few weeks watching all the tutorials I could find. And this is without a doubt the best for modelling that really explains, in a simple and easy to understand way, how to get organic and rounded shapes out. Thank you so much!
Derek is so underrated. I have been following these tutorials for very long now and it's just super fun and very informative. Thank you so much, Derek!
The difference of transmission roughness vs roughness is the former is roughness of the "volume" and affects the refraction, roughness is just the surface. You can have frosted glass inside but polished on the surface or vice versa.
Brilliant tutorial. Quick point for anyone modelling to real world scale I found that the pressure setting during the ear pad cloth simulation has to be ramped up to about 500.
Dude! Idk if anyone has noticed or told you this before, but!... Dude, you are the Bob Ross of Blender. And I say that in the most respectful way! You effing rock!
Really amazing tutorial! Im finishing my last year of uni for product design and yet to be even shown Blender. These have helped me understand so much, and see the value in Blender and getting out of my Keyshot comfort zone! Thanks!
Hi Derek awesome video! after about a year, as hobbyist coming to this video made me realize how much i had picked up hotkeys and how your tutorial reinforced my learnings! happy to say i completed it in 2 days.
Thank you for the amazing tutorials Derek! Just like you I have been learning blender off UA-cam tutorials and your style is truly amazing. The little humor here and there along with the places to do our own variations on designs really makes the videos engaging and keeps me working. Keep doing what you are doing, love it!
1:03:00 if anyone encounters the mirror issue: try by moving the mirror up as the first modifier, THEN apply it. Sometimes if you apply the modifiers in the wrong order you get weird stuff going on.
I had enormous fear of blender well who doesn't as a newbie but you have made me have confident to want to learn. Thank you so much for the amazing tutorials.
God bless you for every waking second you've spent to create this for us Derek. For real. This kinda tutorial is not only helpful but this can be one masterclass if we stop over and over again to understand the tools. Thanks you so much !
Hi Derek, instead of copying every modifier manually you can select all the objects with the object that have the modifier as the last one. Click ctrl+l and you can select modifier from the drop menu. I have been learning a lot from this channel and I thought I could share what I know.
If you also had a problem with the ear cushion going backwards (at about 18:20 in the video), the solution is to set the pressure to a negative number.
I find it strange how advanced some people are but don't know stuff like ctrl L copy modifiers, this is such an entertaining video I enjoyed so much of it
21:01. Select all objects first, and the one with the Mirror modifier at last. Toggle down the menu and select "Copy to selected". Handy when working with a lot of objects.
Honestly the way you model is way simpler then the way I was taught for game design. I think I have really bad habits of trying to make everything game ready and optimised
Very clean and understandable tutorial. It is really hard to find such high quality tutorial. Thank you so much for contributing your time! Blender RULES!!!
Would you ever consider posting a video about your entrepreneurship and income streams? Blender + your tutorials have been one of the only things I've been really interested in lately and I actually got my first corporate jobs after practicing with your videos during COVID. However, I can't help but fantasize having your Blender skillset + content creation with UA-cam, "freelance?", etc. I have a million questions and I would imagine you would be successful as a paid 3D mentor/consultant as well.
Consider using Davinci Resolve instead of After Effects. I've been trying to use it for simple stuff. Best part about it is that its free! Thanks again for a fantastic tutorial.
You make some of the best blender tutorials in this site! You´ve helped me some much in learning this program a few months ago i couldn´t make a donut and now i feel like i might be able to do something worth spending my time on.
Mostly because if you get any glitches or issues with a certain frame you have much more control to fix it. In eevee this is not as big of a deal but if you are spending 10+ hours rendering an animation in cycles you want every last bit of that work accessible easily!
Watched the whole video non-stop. Really well explained and inspiring tutorial. Might start a new model of my Omen headphones by using this vid. Thank you! UPD: just finished my model. The explanation was so clear that I didn't even have to rewatch this tutorial the second time. I'm really happy with what turned out from my work, thank you again!
thank you very much!! your videos are super! at my university, the teacher does not give in pairs, but tasks must be passed :,) and thanks to you, I have a credit 😭💓

@@abraham_e thank you fella!
@@jekboi you're more than welcome, and the best of luck with the upcoming project. 🙌🏾
That is fantastic and makes me very happy to hear congrats on your new role
@@DerekElliott so dope to hear back from you! Thank you dude, appreciate it 🤙
Congratulations!
Your approach to modelling made me start attempting modelling any object I see, you removed the fear in me.
I still have it, gonna try...

Same mesh, bigger scale?
@@imiy yes
nice tip
Man, you’re the one behind my blender skills. Love your tuts

You can transfer modifiers as you link material (CTRL+L) or individually using the apply button in the modifier field, using copy to selected option.
For me, you are perhaps the best Blender instructor on UA-cam...
The difference of transmission roughness vs roughness is the former is roughness of the "volume" and affects the refraction, roughness is just the surface. You can have frosted glass inside but polished on the surface or vice versa.
Good points that makes sense. I suppose transmission roughness is more visible on thick objects
I can't even describe, how freaking hard I love Your content. I love Your style, Your voice, the flow of Your tutorials, humor. I'm adicted to it XD
Brilliant tutorial. Quick point for anyone modelling to real world scale I found that the pressure setting during the ear pad cloth simulation has to be ramped up to about 500.
Good point. I was not working in a real scale here
I really like what you said about the entire process of product modeling and rendering
nice to see that there are still tutorials that work without hard ops or meshtools and only use the tools that blender provides. very good video!
The caramel camel blew me away! 😁 Pleas make an two hour tutorial of that! Awesome vid, thanks!
I definitely need to make a fluids tutorial eventually. I use the flip fluids addon
Derek, thanks a lot from Brazil! I loved your tutorial! Congratulations!!!
Dude! Idk if anyone has noticed or told you this before, but!... Dude, you are the Bob Ross of Blender. And I say that in the most respectful way! You effing rock!
You're the Bob Ross of 3d-modeling! Thanks for this tutorial :)
1 million subscribers for this channel!!! Premium content everytime!
This man is my saviour! I was about to give up blender... This saved me god bless my man😌.... The techniques are very understandable
47:00 if anyone is having problem changing the image texture, just delete that node and press shift+a and select texture and voronoi texture
Really amazing tutorial! Im finishing my last year of uni for product design and yet to be even shown Blender. These have helped me understand so much, and see the value in Blender and getting out of my Keyshot comfort zone! Thanks!
Thank you so much for every second you have spent on this work. This was tremendous!

This series was so inspiring to see a blank canvas become something so realistic! When I get back home next week I am inspired to try this out :D

If you also had a problem with the ear cushion going backwards (at about 18:20 in the video), the solution is to set the pressure to a negative number.
recalculate your normals. you will have shading issues, curling issues and more if you don't.
THANK YOU u saved me fr I was so confused
Thanks bro ❤
love this kind of people, find an issue solve it share it with others. (L)
such a banger tut never got bored , ur commentry is soo on point doesnt get us bored all together i rate this tutorial 100/100
So I went into soft soft and tried to intuitively grasp the basic fundantals. And now listening back I feel like I'm one step ahead of Nice tutorialm.
wow! can't believe such a detailed and amazing tutorial is available free on UA-cam...you are doing an amazing work..SIR
i love how you can explain so many things and at the same time keep a nice and calm voice
I love htis guys's vidoes. So cool and collected. I just finished my render
The best soft soft tutorial ever!
Wow that's so osm 🥳 thank you for teaching ❤
Thank you Derek, im really improving , you make this really easy.
will get it. Just don't get burnt out. Whenever you need a break, take one.
I find it strange how advanced some people are but don't know stuff like ctrl L copy modifiers, this is such an entertaining video I enjoyed so much of it
its not strange. blender being so hot key driven you have to know the keys to access things easily...thats a blessing and a curse at the same time.
15:17 Those who are trying to get more vertices on ear cushion just go on subdivision. And prss ctrl + a on that and ur problem is solved
you have about the software. I personally enjoy learning so it was a little bit easier to do it over ti. But you’ll get there brother
I love derek's way of teaching he just tells lore of his life in between 😂
21:01. Select all objects first, and the one with the Mirror modifier at last. Toggle down the menu and select "Copy to selected". Handy when working with a lot of objects.
What a great tutorial. I learned so much. Thanks Derek!
Excellent guide! Many thanks for the thorough and detailed instructions, along with the comprehensive explanations of all the intricacies!
this is a fantastic walkthrough for intermediate Blender users 🙂
Man, I love how the sewing/pressure work and the cushion material. Turn out so well for me.
By the way, I believe the killer spike at the ear piece that you get is because you need to apply the subdivision modifier :)
This tutorial taught me a lot of things I didn't know before! Thank you!!! It will make Blender even more fun!
Amazing tutorial Derek. Thank you so much for spreading knowlegde.
TNice tutorials is absolutly the best video of the world you expaining skills are good and it was a honor to see tNice tutorials vid well done
I’m waiting for the second part! (Advanced animation)
Fanstastic tutorial as usual 🔥
I swear to god, you are so funny! while I was following along I couldnt help but giggle every once in a while. Thankyou so much
Wow, finalmente achei alguém que faz tutoriais realmente profissionais, já estou seguindo e tentando fazer todos!
Been loving your content, brotha! It's been tough going from solidworks back to blender, and your stuff has made the move a lot smoother
Edge slide, never knew about that. good to know, thanks.
You make lighting look easy.
Turn of that merge vertices and apply some modifiers. The spikes will vanish :) I'm sure it's trying to merge between the 2 mirror objects.
hey man at 12;36 i pressed f nothing happened lol
that surprised you had there at 20:00 kinda got me XD
Mmmm Derkk Asmr on a sunday... Nice.
Honestly the way you model is way simpler then the way I was taught for game design. I think I have really bad habits of trying to make everything game ready and optimised
For game assets, you do need to think a little bit more about your topology, but I'm not usually using models that way so it's less important
Keep up the Great Work. Love you😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🥰😘
less goo, was waiting for a new good detailed tutorial
Dude you are awesome thx for doing this, and also you sound like Matthew Mcconaughey a lot
Very clean and understandable tutorial. It is really hard to find such high quality tutorial. Thank you so much for contributing your time! Blender RULES!!!
thank you for the detailed guide, it helped me install this soft
I learn from ur tutorials, helped me a lot in learning blender. Dope headset by the way👌
A very useful lesson for all aspiring softians
Thank you so much! I can not wait to start setuping. I want to create original soft for comrcials and shows alongside my many other
Really easy to follow along, thanks for sharing, Derek
29:00 Make sure that the mesh is scaled to 1 it worked for me
Man. I f-ing respect you. Thanks. Been stuck on this for like 2.5 hrs
Nice! Thank you.
I love soft soft so so so so much!

Hey derek, thank you very much. You're helping my dream to be a 3D Designer. Greetings from Argentina
I like your tutorials, I wish you had some tutorials for architecture also . thank you

Thanks again for a fantastic tutorial.
Yes I do have DaVinci resolve but still haven't gotten around to learning it.
a lot of value here
Could you pretty please do a tutorial on how to get blender setup like yours with the live-feed render window and camera+backdrop ready to go?
You make some of the best blender tutorials in this site! You´ve helped me some much in learning this program a few months ago i couldn´t make a donut and now i feel like i might be able to do something worth spending my time on.
51:19 liked that ❤
Simple but effective, great job!!!
Derek thank you soooooo much for this video
enjoyed the tutorial , thanks derek
Great video! One thing I'm curious about is why you recommend rendering it to image files instead of a video straight from blender?
Mostly because if you get any glitches or issues with a certain frame you have much more control to fix it. In eevee this is not as big of a deal but if you are spending 10+ hours rendering an animation in cycles you want every last bit of that work accessible easily!
