One thing to keep in mind is that if you want to get the most out of mid poly workflows, you need to keep the materials in mind. If you own cyberpunk I do recommed you get Wolvenkit and export some of the meshes and textures out of the game. The material setup on a lot of the more complex meshes is actually using a layered workflow meaning that any model can have at any time up to 20 layers of different materials and for the most part these are all shared accross the entire game. The modding community has develiped a blended importer that loosely mimics the layered material setup in the engine so check that out too. I mostly investigated the vehicles and they are set up with layered materials as mentioned above. For example the exterior of the vehicle has about 18 layers with simple black and white mask textures ranging from 1k to 256x256 sizes that dictate where materials go. If you want more information search for "Multilayered: Cyberpunk's supershader" and read the REDWiki modding wiki, it explains how it all works. There are certainly downsides to using this method but for this kind of game the upsides and the speed of asset creation trumps and disadvantage.

I don't know what it is about topology videos, but they start off great and then somewhere in the middle get lost in the weeds. Very hard for new people to 3D modeling to understand.

I haven't watched through this completely yet but I can tell that there is a wealth of information in here. I'm gonna have to watch it in detail after christmas because I can already tell I'm gonna learn a lot. Thanks :)

This one hit the spot pz ..that lady bug is peaceful ..it's staring into my soul..

I didnt understand anything about baking but i listened like i was a kid

The Havard free course: thank you for bringing that to my attention. that is the main take away i got from this video. Being in the U.K. I hope i can enroll to it, it seems i can however course has already started and have my hands full still learning blender. the guy in question probably has some solid skill in a different art form hence wanting to know the basics in a foundational way, but the content here is probably overkill. this is like super -under the hood - level stuff. I had the same questions sort of surrounding baking and texturing....almost makes me think you are responding to a recent post...from reddit maybe? lol but yeah this is stuff that for now goes over my head. Im more curious just on a foundational understanding of texturing/materials/shaders in a way that it relates to the art to achieve what I want. like simple low level stuff that can then be expanded upon just like your maths example. starting point could be a cereal box. simple geometric shape, but then develop concepts to have certain wear and tear like maybe colour starts to fade, maybe one side gets exposed to water so is damp. maybe its been sitting in an abandoned building gathering dust and all manner of other elements. like how do you go about learning texturing that frees you from tutorial city and allows you play on your own. the answer i've found isnt to just do tutorials but you need a proper education on what they are and how to achieve those things conceptually. my own problem is that because i believe there is a more efficient way to learn something, it stops me from simply jumping in lol. like how knowing your basic primitives and light fundamentals (core shadow, bounce light, occlusion etc) frees you from slavish following reference. for folks interested in that computer science course. this may also wet your appetite too! w3schools(dot)com sorry for the wall of text! PZ thank you for sharing your knowledge freely!

For the right person, these type of mentorship videos are invaluable. Before blenderbro or other technical course you have to pay for. This is the gap you are filling. Extremely useful for starters. Pz is actually trying to help people. Crazy in 2024. Id do more mentorship videos dude.

pz wants us to succeed..Say it with me..Pz! Pz! Pz! Pz! Woooo...thanks pz for helping us..

These free flowing high level videos are my favorite !

nice trick

Cool )

Вот это тема.

You should check out auto-merge mode when fixing up topology. It will automatically merge any vertices that are close to each other (based on specified distance). It's more fluid than having to run merge by distance operator manually over and over again. Just don't forget to turn off the mode once you are done with topo cleanup or it can produce some unexpected vertex welding.

PzThree is actually Arrimus3D Of Blender

Thats insane! What a gem

I want to be a 3d environment artist, and I find it really helpful, thank you so much

legend has it the 3 in pz three is because he slays every triangle he comes across..

Thank you huge fps increase

I am your number 1 fan

That SDF thing make modeling look a lot more friendly than the other way we traditionally go.

I wonder if it would be easier for the developer to take this to Blender 4+ with the new geometry nodes, it should offer a more flexible capabilities

Whats the purpose of the face sets?

This is what I needed. Thanks a lot.

Your videos are always relaxing and informative to watch

Finally someone explaining sub d. I followed so many tutorials that ended with poor shading and limited workflows. All while pushing their $100 courses. Thank you for finally helping me achieve my goals sir.

Whats it the name of add on that can give info how much a degree when using knife tool ?

pzthree you are the goat

This is just what I needed, thank you

Have I ever told you that I love you? Well I guess this is that. Thanks for the superb content as usual!

The last thing I truly missed from Max is finally here, not fully but this is almost enough and I believe in the future (in combination with geo nodes) it will be even better then Max

Awesome. Blender is more like Max. The thing I've started my modeling with. Cool. Love it

And..... Installed it asap! I did not know this addon existed! And it has the old Modifier ui stack, too.

I wish I had to make changes in frozen modifiers like in a 3DS Max stack))

Does it bake GN too? I can add armature after this? I’m done for the day and not moving back to the desk to test. Ha. This is just great though. Opens things up so much I’ll have to remind myself not to limit what I can do

Please make the same tutorial using retopoflow

which is good ? Conjuresdf and MD

very useful

where to download?

Least it's another great step forward, until we keep improving it !!

About the only thing I enjoy more in 3ds Max compared to Blender is how the modifier stack works. Although definitely not to the same level yet, this gives me hope that Blender can have a modifier stack with the same degree of flexibility in the future.

hallelujah, it happened. There are still many things you can borrow from 3D max ))

Unfortunately not As good as in Max.

So basically C4D logic now haha

Oh wow, that actually is a game changer 😊

Nice.

Try to do same things on curved surfece, "This is where the fun begins".
