Project Neo: A New Kind of 3D Tool
มุมมอง 8342 หลายเดือนก่อน
Project Neo is a fresh take on 3D. It's a tool for creatives who want to get ideas out of their heads quickly and without the ache. Project Neo offers Styles, an easy-to-apply set of effects that can take a basic 3D object and make it look painted, pixelated, and so much more. It's only in Beta, but I can't wait to see where it goes. Styles may very well be the expected standard for 3D programs...

This video is something I have been trying figure out how to do I don't know why until now in the last 30 mins everything I have wanted is here and also your nomad video that I will be watching next after I finish this video an see if I can generate more complex an more specific look alike or closely resemble faces for these 500% scaled minifigures I have been 3d printing. I am also wanting scale up some brink build to match the scaled figures.. (I've always wished Legos were huge with the same Lego fill but without looking like Duplo blocks) The first project i hope try is Legos ford mustang set but that will be a lot of filaments. I'm thinking a hundred or more kilograms but i still have to slice and add up model and the wasted support material. but thanks for making these an other videos that I soon be checking out.
Oh, that's a really cool application. Just know that if you want to scale things proportionally in Figma, tap the "K" key for scale. Let me know if I can help you on your journey in any way. Take Care.
@@making-things scaling I don't think should be much of an issue as I'm only needing scale the faces to fit proportionally the Lego kit ill be scaling in my slicer. I think the only issue ill have it part that don't fit on my print bed after being scaled up cutting them into pieces to be reassembled to make complete part will be my biggest challenge being that as hard as i try to learn 3d modeling software i still cant understand or remember the steps to repeat something I followed step by step over an over I have horrible learning issues but there random thing i just can do without missing a beat. so i will for sure hit you with questions about the face generator once i can get a basic understanding of it or parts of it. my only question as of right now which is getting a head of myself in a way but nomad sculpt which haven't watched yet does what you'll explain in that video will it apply all parts of a 3d model using the same skills to applying graphics or different images to 3d models? also that's for replying back to me very much appreciate it. (i struggle with ADHD and forgetfulness is the biggest things I struggle with) So if there's better or more direct way you would prefer me ask you questions other then on here for things might need help with please let me know I have most social medias from reddit to X to TikTok and ones no one know has ever herd of. so thanks again replying back I'm going sleep have to go to work in the morning so i will do my best to check this when I get home from work.
Your videos are always so informative. Thank you for making them!
You are welcome. I’ve been extra busy this month but hope to have a new video out very soon.
This excellent video helps explain the new Quad Remesher and its connection to Face Groups. (Add on price is so worth it) It is a definite step toward tools like ZBrush's ZRemesher and Polygroups. Near the end of this video, it shows the protection of the boundary edge maintained like a Crease tool. And the ability to add Edge Loops a move very much toward ZModeler functionality. So the Imagine being able to select Edges and crease or bevel with a radius. Defintely a huge step forward. Hard Modeling is not the only world to benefit. The ability to maintain smooth geometry with lower sub-divisions and selective creased or soft edges is so much better than what we get with Clay tools.
I agree on these points. Definitely worth it. Thanks for watching FoxPriest.
This was a really excellent video explaining the tube tool in detail. Straight to the point and not missing anything!
I really appreciate the comment and am happy you enjoyed the video. Take care!
this is awesome, we need more tutorials like this!!! i subbed :D
@@tonypham0808 Thanks Tony. I will do my best!
This is probably the first tutorial that moved at a pace that was truly helpful and easy for me to figure out while learning Nomad. Thank you so much.
@@TonyAllen1988 My goal has always been to be clear and not rush through any of the details, so I am very happy to hear this. Thanks for the comment. Take care.
Loved the experimental stuff! So many ways it can be used!!!!! Another great tut and my creative juices are FLOWING 🤓 time to get to work! lol
@@aliceesperanza I never know how these types of videos will be received, so it’s nice to hear you were inspired by it. Thanks for the comment!
Please be nicer to yourself! This was a great video and I learned a lot. I subscribed ☺️ thank you!!!
@@aliceesperanza I’m a very self-deprecating person, but I will try. Thank you so much for the kind words. Take care.
How do we attach a tube path to the surface of an object ?? The option used to be in the settings and now it’s gone .
I have only used Snap to do this. This is the Snap control located in the leftside tool strip. With Snap on, I just draw directly on the object I want it to snap to.
Really enjoying your tip series! All the quick examples really help, just the kind of video I was looking for
Really glad to hear it dontlikesoccer! Take care
very helpfull , thanks ❤
So glad. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
Is quad remesher not on android? I dont have that option in the menu like you only on the left hand side
@@IzBussin I don’t have an Android, but what I understand is it doesn’t. So sorry.
Thank you for the model. Your tutorials are great so thanks for those too.
@@KristianKivisalo You’re very welcome. Thanks for taking the time to say some kind words! It’s the little things that motivate me.
Quality lesson
Appreciate it Dave. Thank you.
Very helpful thank you. Off to practice now :)
Welcome. I hope it works well for you.
Just a heads up for future, you might want to turn down the threshold for the noise cancellation or de-esser plugin you have on the audio channel. It’s pretty distracting hearing the background noise from the recording and then dead silence between your pauses when you’re not talking. Might be better to just leave the background noise than trying to fix in post.
That's great feedback. Thank you AGT. Will definitely be mindful of that from now on.
Wow! This was really a great beginner tutorial! Thank you!
@@DanielSchweinert I am very glad to hear it. Thanks for watching.
Great stuff!
@@darkcult99 Thank you sir!
Dude just found your channel. Love it! ❤❤❤
@@DarylNotDeadThanks Daryl. Appreciate it. I am working on a new video that should be out soon.
When using the path option with the tube tool, I am unable to create a new segment when tapping/dragging on either side of the initial segment. The only thing it will do is rotate the camera-with either my Apple Pencil or my finger. I’ve searched everywhere for a setting or toggle that I may have switched the wrong way but haven’t found anything that makes it work the way shown in this video. The only way I can make new segments with the path tool is by tapping somewhere within the original segment to create a new point. What am I missing?
But other than that one piece (which is probably user error on my end), this tutorial was a HUGE help!!
You aren't wrong. I was testing it just now and for some reason that functionality is not working as it did when I made the tutorial. I guess the way to grow your tube in path mode would just be to add new interior points rather than points on the ends. Sorry I don't have a better solution as of yet. I'll let you know if that changes. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@TaTown82 Very glad to hear that.
@@making-things ok phew! Glad to know it wasn’t just user error lol. Hopefully they’ll revert that functionality back to how it was previously though. Seems like a better way to map out where you’d like the path to go
You mentioned a skill share… thing. Do you have a presence on skill share? A patreon?
Sorry, no I do not have a Skillshare course. It was a poorly executed joke about a Skillshare course on making brushes, because my brushes were so crude and terrible. I thought about a Patreon, but if I do start that, I would definitely offer a higher tier of assets and tutorials for anyone willing to support me that way. I feel bad that I am only able to put out a video every couple of weeks at the moment. It's a limitation of time for me. TH-cam is a side passion, and I work fulltime and do freelance. And then there is spending time with my family, so it's busy at all times. One day, I would love for TH-cam to be full-time. Dreams! I am taking suggestions on courses you'd like see though.
Very cool, gonna use this
Makes me happy to hear that. Hope it works out well. Take care.

I have been using Cinema 4D for last 6 years. Just recently start to learn sculpting wih Nomad and oh man... You are good at teaching you knows. Your videos are organized into small, logical topics that are easy to follow and that is good. Keep up the goodworks man <3
Thank you. I really appreciate the kind words. Take care.
I've been searching for the 2nd method for a while, finally i got it. I'm glad that you posted this. But I have a doubt. what about the back view? when set ref for front its shows on the back toooo. what to do?
Glad to hear it. Yes, you can turn off the backside of the plane. If you tap on the the cog icon in the top right for “Display Settings” and scroll down, somewhere in the middle of the menu is a “Two Sided” checkbox. Just uncheck it to turn it off. Hope that helps.
great, just about what im looking for. ^^
I enjoyed the Illustration style. I can see this being a very useful tool.
the most detailed and beginner friendly tutorial i could find, thank you!
I’m so glad to hear it. I will do my best to create more tutorials like this one. Take Care.
What the hell indeed - minute 15:57 and at 2x speed Thanks for this experiment focused video, will be experimenting a lot.
Glad to hear it. I’m trying to shed a little bit of a different light on Nomad to see if it inspires you all.
@@making-things well on your way! I invite you to check out the things I’m doing with Nomad thanks to your tips & tutorials @spatialgineers on all socials
I just discovered your channel! amazing! thanks so much for making such clear and fun tutorials!
First off, My Pet Monster is so good! It was good to be a kid in the 80s. Thanks for the comment. I'm so glad you're enjoying the channel.
@@making-things thanks! MPM is such a fun design and character. I love it too! In the earliest versions of nomad I sculpted a MPM figure that articulated. I’ll have to go back and rework it! Your channeling is inspirational!
LIFE saving tutorial. I just got into 3d modeling after years of 2D digital design and everything has been pretty confusing. This tutorial was so well-crafted, everything was explained so well and thoroughly. Thank you so much! I instantly feel better educated on my nomad tools.
I really enjoyed this comment. I love hearing that I was able to support your learning journey. We all need help along the way, including me. It’s a really gratifying moment when you can add another tool to the toolkit. So happy I could be part of it. Take care.
I'm totally child labouring my niece and nephew. This is amazing, thanks!
Haha. They're never too young to start making texture packs.
Ok, wowowow!
Thanks for watching my videos. You are making the rounds.
Fantastic idea!
Thanks. I hope it’s helpful.
Holy cow, that’s awesome!!!
It’s got a lot of great upgrades
Heya ) Thanks a lot for taking the time to create such detailed and clear tutorials. I'm just starting my exciting journey on Nomad and it's very helpful to find videos like this one. Thanks again mate, i can't wait to see more of those. Be safe.
Happy to hear it. I will continue to make Nomad videos along with other content. Next one unfortunately is not a Nomad tutorial, but stay tuned. I have more planned. I appreciate the comment. Cheers.
Very good illustration, especially the right column of steps
Thank you Gigi. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
Really interesting. Don’t hesitate to show experimental techniques. Often I discover something weird or interesting, and then realise best practical use for it at a later time!
That’s great to hear. I like finding alternative ways to be creative, but never know if it’s super useful to others. I assume I am not alone.
I totally agree! I actually learn a surprising amount more from experimental abstraction than I do from a full featured tute making a finished sculpt. Very very good tutes! More!
I love the tube tool! I've used the profile preset tool to make a generic nose, ear, hair and more. I can't wait to try it with the deformer stamp video of yours I just watched!
Love hearing that. I hope the deform trick works out. It’s definitely fun.
Relax is a game changer
Agree!
How did you get the alpha selector to the lower left corner? I have to navigate the stamp settings to select mine
Good question. I am not sure. What device do you use? I know that there are some differences between iOS and Android. For me, I'm on iOS and when I tap Stamp Settings, it states "This tool doesn't have any specific settings." I am going to try and find the answer for you though.
@@making-things yeah sorry, it’s the menu next to settings. Where your alpha selector is, I have a stroke painting selector.
@@thehangardesigns So did you get it sorted, or is it still not where I have it?
@@making-things no, I reset all to default and it still does not match yours. I’m using 1.90. Don’t worry about it, just didn’t know if you knew of a setting, thanks!
@@making-things im a idiot, had to scroll down! I have the 11 in iPad so I’m guessing that’s why
Amazing! Love this way to spark creativity and find new and interesting shapes
I'm so glad someone shares my fascination with this trick. Thank you for the comment!
@@making-things all hail the algorithm too!
@@goatelope7539 Hear, Hear!

By the way: To smooth the whole object evenly, the Round All / Round Edges Brush is much more economical with resources than radial symmetry. Great tutorial.
