Bro you just opened a whole new level for me

[@writerinrwanda]

Thank you so much. Really easy to follow, and loved that you explained how to make a new face along with cutting.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Glad to know that it was helpful! 😊

[@dougeldridge1219]

Ugh, thank you. I have looked for weeks, using several programs to simply cut geometric shapes from my 3d models. This is the simplest, most succinct.

[@official6686]

Method 1 works perfect thank you so muck

[@tomashruska2171]

thanks. It tooks me 10 minutes to realize, if the object, you want to cut off, is smaller than the original, you wont see the difference, because it is hidden inside :D

[@5MinutesBlender]

Ha ha 😂 True !!

[@albanderyalshamerii6538]

I just found your channel it is really treasure for beginners like me, Thank you very much!
1:53 in this clip, did you know that when you press Alt+Z it will automatically turn on the wireframe which allows you to select the surface from both sides. whether you are in solid or wireframe moad.

[@5MinutesBlender]

Thank you so much for the appreciations! Yes, Alt+Z turns on the X-ray mode (you can also enable this from the toolbar just left to where we have wireframe view / solid view mode). It can be very useful, or very dangerous depending upon your model. We may end up selecting parts of an object that we do not intend to select. So I avoided showing the use of x-ray, because someone who is new to Blender may get a wrong result and may not even know why that happened. Of course X-ray selection can be very handy most of the time. Thanks for sharing this!

thanks man, 1st option is the best and fastest. sometimes after boolean modifier the model with lots of polygons might look edgy, edge split modifier fixes that. So I often use it in pair.

[@barzucci]

Thank you for informative video. Is it possible to make it with stl file in to cube for example? Thank you

[@5MinutesBlender]

Yes, if you can import the stl file into Blender, rest of the process is the same. The import may not always work for all models, because it is a cross-platform issue - but mostly it works for simple models.

[@welcometoparacosm926]

this worked out great. just one slight problem. hair particles are where they shouldnt be. just kinda floating where the object used to exist

[@5MinutesBlender]

I guess this is due to duplicate vertices. However, it may not be as well because beveling is tricky - and sometimes it causes very weird issues that are difficult to fix. Even I have experienced this sometimes.

[@yearight1205]

thank you for this!

@@5MinutesBlender I'm a film maker who has recently started using Blender, since I realized you can build 3D worlds with it. I'm building a Crusader castle currently based on images of actual ones. And this trick gave me the ability to make the windows in the towers. I'll go through your videos to see if you have anything on how to apply multiple materials to an object or building to make it look more real.

[@5MinutesBlender]

That's nice! I am happy to know that you started with Blender. We made some tutorials on various aspects of materials, you can find them in this playlist 👉 th-cam.com/play/PLtV6EPHDRNQJG_Dp8AgipRizpi6nEk97G.html Although there are many more topics that are yet to be covered and we do have a plan to include them in near future. Particularly for applying multiple materials to an object, I think you will need to learn about UV mapping if not done already. You can apply materials without UV mapping as well, but it won't be realistic in most of the cases. Tutorials th-cam.com/video/fthcqufSA3U/w-d-xo.html and th-cam.com/video/0iJNDBH5iFk/w-d-xo.html can be of some help here!
