Thank you for the kind words!

@@notverygoodguy I don't lie, boss.

There are different licenses for different models. There are some restrictions on the mb-lab models for example because they are licensed under AGPL which I believe means you can use it but must also make it available for others though I am not a lawyer. On the other hand in charmorph the Anotonia model and Reom use creative commons BY which means you can do with it what you will as long as there is an attribution statement somewhere. Best to check before using a model in closed source games.

@@notverygoodguy I have read the TOS of both sites before I have posted my question ... the list of rules is really very long and complicate written. My question about restrictions was more about what kind of games are allowed or not, for example games with violence (like Mortal Kombat) or 18+ adult games.

@@paluxyl.8682 The license covers only how you can use models not what you use them in. If for example you satisfy the requirements for the model to be used in a game then it doesn't matter what kind of game that is.

@@notverygoodguy Good to know, that this 3 website allow so much. I was in the last weeks on many 3d models websites, and 3 (or was it 4, I can't remember at the moment) was with restrictions like violence and adult stuff. Some websites got even strange rules that allow some character models just for games that will sell under 2000 times. :( BTW, your channel is awesome ..... I have save at least 3 videos on my "game projects" playlist. Thanks for the awesome tutorials. ^^

@@paluxyl.8682 Never heard of websites like that but I#m glad I avoid them :) Thanks for the positive channel comments. Taking me a bit of time to get a new video out at the moment but I'll get there :)

ahh ok it's probably because of overlapping faces.

@@its3amagain. Always great when people solve the problem themselves :) Nicely done!

L selects connected vertices. Is it possible that you have portions of your model that are not connected. You could try doing a merge by distance to see if that helps.

Glad it was helpful :)

Do you mean the part around 17:40. If so when you subdivide the circle do you see it creating more points on the circle?

Thanks :)

The L key selects all the connected vertices under the mouse. If you are getting different results depending on where your mouse is then your model is probably is separate parts that haven't been joined together properly. If you can post a link to your model perhaps I can take a look.

Glad to help :)

Your model has shape keys :) If you are happy with the model, you can remove the shape keys before doing the apply. They are in the little green triangle icon in the properties panel. In there is a little box marked shape keys which lists the shape keys you have. You can delete them by pressing the little "-" button but you must start from the first one and work your way down. I recommend saving the end result as a different file as your model had shape keys for a good reason even if you don't need them for 3d printing.

It worked, thanks. Nam

@@earringtherapy Thanks for letting me know!

So pleased you made this :) Thanks for letting me know.

@@notverygoodguy I've even printed it in a lovely silk filament. One thing I noticed and was wondering if you had any advice on: The model seems to not be watertight. There's some holes on the top and bottom sides. Was there something I missed? Thank you!

@@notverygoodguy This happens when i try printing in spiral vase mode.

@@sephtronics Printing in vase mode is rarely watertight I'm afraid. There are often weak points as the filament gets laid down that water seems to find a way through. You can increase your chances of it actually being watertight by having the extruder temperature a little hotter and/or by using a bigger nozzle and layer height. I have had some things water tight but it's a bit hit and miss. One thing you can do of course is to spray the inside of your vase with some clear coat of some kind, preferably a plant safe one.

CTRL+J only makes two objects into one object. It doesn't change anything at all. The objects don't even need to be touching each other. A boolean union will merge two intersecting objects together and attempt to remove any walls that end up being inside.

I don't know about that but am very glad the video was useful for you.

You could try but it is quite optimistic to hope it will do a reasonable job but yes, if it does then it would be good to do first. Re-topology is the best option of course :)

Yes it is. Sound on my early videos is not their strong point. That's for sure.

I'm sorry. What part of it is the problem, creating it or what it is?

I thought it was by default but maybe you need to enable Mesh:Extra Objects in preferences. However, you can always add any object and in edit mode select everything with a and then m->merge at center. That will give you a single vertex.

@@notverygoodguy Thank you sir

And thank you for the awesome feedback. Appreciated!

Thanks for the vote of confidence :)

This could be an issue with your model. Any chance you can provide a link to it so I can have a look?

Well that is quite a compliment. Thank you.

Presumably you mean as an STL. If so, select the parts you want to save and go File->export-stl and make sure you tick the box to include selection only.

Maybe you didn't notice in the description it says this version no longer reliably works with modern version sof Blender? There is a link to an updated version that should work.

Very pleased it was helpful!

This video will show you how to at 2:39 but basically you change the blue to transparent in settings. th-cam.com/video/RRZh390yo_M/w-d-xo.html

@@notverygoodguy thanks dude!

Thank you

Very glad the video was useful for you. With regard to the shrinkwrap modifier I think you are right but when I was learning Blender and trying to do retopology everyone recommended having both and I never really thought about it after that :)

Thank you. That makes sense :)

Pleased you like it :)

Firstly are you sure it's actually hollow? A Blender object by default is solid and so you have to actually make it hollow on purpose. There are several ways in which a model may look hollow in other software e.g. a printer slicer with no infill selected but that doesn't mean it actually is. Are you able to share a link to your blend file or model, maybe using wetransfer.com or google drive or similar? I would be interested to have a look at it.

Any manifold object (has no holes in it, even tiny ones) that has no walls inside will be solid. In most cases this means that your model is solid unless you hollow it :) Hollowing is only really used for resin printing. if we are 3d printing with resin. Resin deep inside a model often won't cure and can later crack your model. So, people often hollow their model and make holes in it so that uncured resin pour out.

Glad to hear this. I was unsure how to approach it :)

Hotkeys do occasionally change but ctrl-p hasn't changed in a while. What menu did you get?

Good to hear! Thanks

This will happen if the parts that don't get selected are not actually attached to the bits that are selected. You might want to try merging by distance on everything before you start. Select everything in edit mode and then go Mesh->Cleanup->Merge by distance.

I'm really glad you think so. I was a bit worried it wasn't too clear what I was doing.

If anyone finds this and is having the same issue. I went to Edit Mode -> Mesh -> Normals -> Recalculate outside and that seemed to work for me

@@jon5716 You didn't even give me the chance to reply before you solved it yourself :) Indeed, normals being wrong is the source for many a Blender problem. That is why I always have Face Orientation set to on in the Overlays dropdown but change the blue to transparent in preferences. Glad you solved it :)

@@notverygoodguy Okay so I am having the same issue but this time recalculating normals isn't fixing it. I have an object imbedded in another both have their normals correct but if I do a union it leaves a hole. If I switch to difference it leaves a indent. Using self intersect also doesn't seem to be working. I am stumped. To clarify I am trying to join these two objects now. Having the same issue with the hole but the end goal is for them to be one

@@jon5716 Try switching from exact to fast in the boolean modifier. That can often fix issues like this. When I finally get around to it, my next video will be about boolean problems and this is one thing I will talk about.

@@notverygoodguy Good to know thank you. It turns out this one was because there was non manifold geometry. I downloaded the 3d Print addon and the fix that provides has been really helpful getting booleans to work properly

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you liked it.

That's great to hear. Thanks for letting me know.

To some extent, yes. Never actually tried it myself.

@@notverygoodguy thaks! your videos are very clear and easy learn! Good job!

@@y_integral_y Thank you

Sorry to hear that. Any advice on how to improve it?

Thank you

Which of the vases are you attempting and are you doing it in vase mode?

Very glad this was useful for you. Yes, I am British.

@@notverygoodguy tysm

Not entirely sure what you mean but if I understand you correctly then making as many bones as you can is ideal.

Sorry to hear about that. I haven't heard of that happening to anyone before. DId it always crash at the same place?

ALT B again.
