The new shortcut to merge 2 verts is “M”. Thanks for the longer, more in-depth content. I literally just requested it like 3 days ago. You may have picked up a new Patron.
@Rogue Nero That's because you're using an old version of Blender. I'm referring to the newest version. Not sure what you mean by, "what you've tested". A shortcut is a shortcut, no need for testing.
I used to do this for Flight Simulator aircraft, except that I didn't use Blender and the models were definitely not low poly by the time FS9 came out. I couldn't possibly give you any useful tips on Blender techniques, but I can tell you that being able to tell what 3D shape is represented in the "3 view" image is an insight that takes time to master. It's not that the line drawings aren't accurate (well ... that depends on where you got the drawing), it's that line drawings don't always indicate compound curves too well. Having a few photos of the subject (as you did with the spoiler) can sometimes help ... sometimes! This was entertaining, as usual, but in this case I'll stick with my tried-n-true methods I've been using for 15 years and then import the model to Blender as an OBJ. P.S. The way you built the brake light is how I build entire aircraft, one section at a time.
I learn so much techniques here, I am still a newbie, but this is perfect and those 10 minutes always remind me of MATRIX - I know Kung Fu - No you don't!!! - No I don't! Thank you for your time and patience!
You have excellent technique and great communication skills, I always learn so much from your videos. Thanks for this one; I'm going to do my son's S2000 when I get home today! :)
Overlaying blueprints, ingenious! I feel like a bit of an idiot for working off of reference images alone, until now... Lol. I think I might just scrap my model and redo it this way. Thanks for the helpful tutorial!
Most interesting parts for me. :) 00:00:43 : Placing the reference image. 00:05:45 : How to add a single vertext (if you are not able) 00:31:39 : Car painting from color palette. 00:52:05 : Dethatching parts. 01:05:55 : Openeable door.
(Blueprint Tip) I'm really new to this modelling - but with the few symmetrical blueprints I have used - I first bring it in to something like MS Paint and find the dead centre (by pixel coordinates) and draw a (1px) vertical line down the centre of the blueprint (and a small horizontal 1px line to make a cross-hair) - I find this makes lining it all (front / back etc) up very easy in blender (zoomed waaaay in to line up perfectly).
that's a great quote at around 25:00, "It's always a compromise, low poly, you can't get every line so find the one that's the most important" I truly believe that learning low poly is a huge advantage for beginners because they can get used to the idea of getting a base shape first before going into detail
Gotta learn low poly before you jump to detail. Sure anyone can buy the cgmasters Corvette tutorial series, but it doesn't seem to teach the fundamentals. Just leads to people constantly begging for tutorials
^^^ That in my opinion is the single biggest problem with the way Blender is taught to total beginners. Modifiers like the subsurf are amazing tools for more experienced modelers, but most Blender tutorials aimed at newbies teach them to become over-reliant on the modifiers and they become a crutch to work around a lack of basic topology skills (as evidenced by the large number of help threads around the internet of people asking why the subsurf modifier "isn't working" on their mesh consisting entirely of N-gons and poorly-spaced edges).
Huh, so concentrated and effective! Sometimes learning must go in quick way to avoid hungups and frustrations. Errors in the beginning of learning is not that important. Just polish workflow algorithmically and errors will decrease gradually. We all must seek personal quickest ways to optimise workflows. If you seek u will find! And I find too. Thanks for some impressions u made. This is right way to do everything. U've got subscriber.
16:27 Here's the Auto-mirror part, I was looking particulary for this after watching the whole video. If you can't find the Auto-mirror panel, go back to Preferences - Add-ons - search "mirror" and check "Mesh: Auto Mirror".
I noticed you delete your camera and light almost everytime you start a new file. If you go under file - default - save startup file after you delete the light and camera blender will always load up that way.
That's a fantastic tip thank you so much! I had no idea you could do that and I do the same thing every time, I noticed a lot of TH-camrs doing that too. Maybe blender should add a tool tip of the day pop up when you start the application? I know I have that set for the IDE I use for programming and I learn new tool tips all the time that are useful from it.
Hey this might be a dumb question - but has blender changed so drastically from 2.8 to 2.9 that it misses either mesh>flatten 49:37 and also mesh->circle 1:01:18 or it a blender addon that brings these features?
Pro-Tip: listen to Lo-Fi music while watching this, than this video only feels like 15 mins! :D Awesome Video my man, learned sooo much and took so much with me!
wow you are very good, can I ask you something I understand that you specialize in low poly but, can you do a tutorial on how to model a car in 3d hard surface or from low poly to high poly with texture please. I can't find a detailed tutorial so you can explain it to me
40:17 when you saving you can press on "plus" button near "save" it will increase the number automatically... All you need that save the file in the form "something_00" then "plus" will work.
I have no idea how he mirrored the tires so that he can make both the left and right ones at the same time. The video cuts and all the sudden there are 2 cylinders, and when I create a new cylinder only 1 comes up, and adding a mirror modifier does nothing. Can anybkdy help please? Edit: So I figured it out after much trial and error, but still don't really know how it was done because I didn't want to undo it and risk not being able to figure it out again haha. Will have to do a test/practice one to see exactly what I did. This video helped out a ton. I made a Mustang by following along. I discovered pretty late into the modeling that the blueprint I used didn't exactly line up when doing the mirrors, so I basically make them from scratch and very loosely followed a couple real pictures from a book I have. Overall the model turned out great for my first car, and everyone I've shown loved it. Thanks, Imphenzia!
Amm, I don't know if anyone encountered a small issue but the F3 search panel doesn't seem to find the "circle" whenever you type in "circle". So just Right Click and the "Loops Tools" will be there. Just saying :D
Help me guys please I m download blender 2.90 is broken how ı can fix this problems ? 1 transparent menüs- interface 2 dont show selected edge and face select 3 absurd diffrent and empty preferences screen
A little tip: for the tail lights i loop selected the outer edges and searched for "circle". That way you automatically align the vertices into a circle. EDIT: I should watch videos until the end before commenting. You used circle for the steering wheel ;)
what's been bothering me is I work so hard on the materials and struggle 2-3 days getting the model in unity and then it doesn't have the materials the closest i got was using the HDRP or URP and then the mat still looks basic
10:30 im having a problem whenever i try to make faces by pressing f it keeps making new lines when i try to make faces ive already downloaded the f2 preference but its not working can anyone plz help me
Someone please help, it might be a basic question when I put mirror imagine, it mirrored it far away instead of the imagine just like in the video. How can I change it? Also I can't delete the mirrored car so I'm stuck.
I tried to make Chevrolet Camaro 1969 low poly the whole day, but still looking at your car I was disappointed. But nothing, I will try again! Thanks for the inspiration! Speaking of inspiration, I have long wanted to make a game about a submarine, once upon a time, in the year 2006-2009, I played this game on my phone, it was very well developed. Do you have a desire to make a step-by-step tutorial in Unity for those who do not know programming? Just write the code, and we would repeat. ;)
Hey! just wanted to tell you if you didn't know you don't have to press Ctrl+E, then click, then Ctrl+S, you can just Ctrl+E and then directly press Ctrl+S and it will have the same function.
ctrl RMB also extrudes and places the element (vert, edge, face) at your cursor. select two verts and press [F] to fill the edge. to fill a face, you only need to select 2 edges and press [F] you can also press [alt RMB] to select the edge loop that goes around the holes for the taillights (using circle instead of cylinder): change snapping to face, and set to project individual elements. then in the viewport, g, limit to y-axis, and ctrl to snap. for the windows: select the windows, the one with the solidify modifier last, and [ctrl L] to bring up the link menu.
i ALWAYS have the same issue and its making me crazy ! The sideview of the blueprints not only have the sideview, they also have quite a bit of depth so you can almost see to the "center line" of the car. And when you have a blueprint (a car) with many sidelines, its almost impossible to see the sideview only.
You missed the side mirrors sweep backward, you extruded them strait out and never adjusted. look at the Top view, you will see it. otherwise, great model, good job!
Seeing you use Snip was painful. That's going away, btw, and the replacement is terrible. ShareX is where it's at. The interface is a bit daunting at first because it can do Everything. So you have to just tweak a few things to be what you want. Disable all the upload stuff first. But one option is a color picker, Super handy to put to just print screen. How often do you really need a screen grab of your entire monitor (Also that sucks with multiple monitors). But it automatically saves the image (again, an option) AND copies it to clipboard. I'm sad it's not on linux as well, but you can't always get cross platform. Anyway, I highly recommend it.
Hey impenzhia!!! really really cool work. Just wanted to know which software do you use to crop out the background and put yourself in the bottom left of the screen?
Nice video man , iw been learning a lot from your videos . i get confused sometimes ,what is considered a low poly mode l? some forums i read its up ti 15k verts at some it says under 100k :D
Tip: use ctrl alt q for quad view
Argh, why didn't I know that?? Thanks for the tip :)
@@Imphenzia you're welcome ☺️
Holy cow! One of the best tips I've heard in a while, thanks!
Tip: In 2.79 this asks you to quit Blender
@@edh_ he said ctrl + ALT + q, not ctrl + q

hi can i ask somethink ? How can i transparency this cube, like that. My point doesnt seen like 6:31
Finally my dream come true when he hasn't made something in 10 minutes like a ninja 😂.
now he can do in 10 minutes
IKR all his good tutorials are when he does that 10 minute challenge and it’s so anoying

Where do you sell your games? Do you have any on Steam?
You need to try Lightshot! It is a snipping tool that you will love! Thanks for the video :)
I'll check it out!
👌 blender3D the Best 🐒
Your add on for splitting left and right doesn't show up when I go into the F3 menu and type split. Why is that??
Hi, thank you for video! I have a question: ist the topology in low-poly modelling not important?
Great video - one question how do you insert drawing at 1:53 you just say drag this, so doe you Add Image as an background or Reference?
It turned out amazing) with such a low number of polygons, it is immediately clear what kind of car is)
Hey this might be a dumb question - but has blender changed so drastically from 2.8 to 2.9 that it misses either mesh>flatten 49:37 and also mesh->circle 1:01:18 or it a blender addon that brings these features?
How make the reference box is transparency?

You should try deving for roblox as well, with this style of art you'll be making hits in no time.

Will you make a tutorial or some other video about implementing this in a game?
I saw GTA 5 in your pc
I cannot use the left and right addon, in blender 2.92
Can anyone please help ?

what's been bothering me is I work so hard on the materials and struggle 2-3 days getting the model in unity and then it doesn't have the materials the closest i got was using the HDRP or URP and then the mat still looks basic
Your videos are fantastic! Not many channels with such clarity & easy to follow steps - on blender & unity. Much appreciated
Thank you, I'm thrilled that you like them :)
E to extrude...
... S to scale?
No?
Oh It's vertex :d
Nice! Thanks for this tutorial, it's very helpful.
wow thank you for this sifu
My pleasure
10:30 im having a problem whenever i try to make faces by pressing f it keeps making new lines when i try to make faces ive already downloaded the f2 preference but its not working can anyone plz help me
Thanks a lot. btw how can i seperat my screen like yours. (I am beginner)
Instructions unclear: ended up with Toyota Prius.
good content
a lots of ads in this video happy i got this free program that disabled all ads on youtube
Your video is great! But to make sure the spoiler is the thing that stick on top of the back of the car. :p
Good work :D
the split modifier is not working in my blender 2.9 is there any other way top do the same
how to run add-on in blender version 2.92 (3)?
do you know someone who makes tutorials for photo realistic cars
It's not in 10 minutes. Disappointed. 😂
i start with a plane and extrude verticies am i doing this wrong
How to CREATE a blueprint ???? 🤔🤔

Do you play Scrap Mechanic? I saw the logo of the game in your saved images.
I played it with my son for a while, but I get way to motion sick in it unfortunately.
@@Imphenzia How do you get motion sick while playing a game?
It has to do with "Field of View" in games.
Is the auto mirror an add-on?
On the Patreon blend files, can you please pack the reference image into the blend, for a quick start?
Thank you
to use your lowpoly model to leave highpoli ???
So easy to forget things I guess, but extremely annoying for beginners. Auto Mirror is an addon, don't forget to turn it on under settings -> addons.
Blender doesnt have a background option?! So can easily put backdrop blueprints into every viewport...
E to extrude S to Scale and R to rotate
I cannot do much in blender but your videos really inspire me, this was great work for low poly. Keep it up
Happy to hear that :)
No colour pellet in the discription,Other than that huge fan of your low poly style, great work !
