One word: Amazing!!! Two words: Too good!!! Three words: Nothing but Excellent!!! Four words: MOST useful tips ever!!! (literally) Five words: MUST know techniques for everyone!!! Thank you ☺️
I purchased your amazing Blender secrets book two days ago and searched for ngons with no result. I then found this tutorial and found all my questions answered. This is a fantastic tutorial that reflects the excellence of your book. I then searched your book again for N-gons and Bingo all the N-gon tutorials turned up. Thank you for this video and thank you for producing your amazing book at a very reasonable price.
Wanted to follow up with another comment on your video. Finally got a chance to implement the first minute and 10 seconds of your demonstration and its like magic. So simple and just easily solves every little problem I was having with adding higher geometry to a specific face so I can get high quality results of the displacement map. So refreshing.
Great tipps in the video! For the first case (The leaf) one can also use the "Boundary Aligned Remesh" Addon (free), which nicely remeshes such a shape to tris. I can also much recommend the "leafig" addon (payed) for skipping the "i traced a leaf" part.
Yoo, you are by far the most helpful blender channel!! Always so much important Stuff that you need daily, explained very well and understandable even for beginners. Also I would love to see your face but its okay 😄
Ahh, just what I wanted to know! Auto-merging and ctrl x to dissolve vertices! I got your book not too long ago, I keep a shortcut of it on my desktop. Sooo great! ^^
I think a good way to do this, is that when you see a tip that you like or you want to learn, you should open up a blender project or a new blender project, and literally actually put the tip into some type of use. this begins the process of training your muscle memory. that way in the future if you ever need it for an actual purpose, you'll have already done it in the past and you'll be more likely to remember it. I don't know if I've actually tried this, but logically it makes sense
You've given me more inspiration to become a contributing member of society than anything else, purely so I can donate to you.. Don't hold your breath but chirst you and Hubert are the most deserving
Fantastic...I have looking for ways to do this on a large project! I had uploaded many files to [redacted file hosting site], but lost all my local copies due to a brain-fart. When I download my files from [redacted file hosting site] to recover my work, I found that all of the objects had been triangulated! All my beautiful edge-loops were gone...lost in a sea of messy triangles. I was about to re-create many pieces when I saw this article...can't wait to try it!
Great info as usual and finally prompted me to buy your digital book. In newer Blender (3.3.0 LTS) there seems to be a bug with the first tip cutting faces with knife project due to selecting the two objects in viewport then switching to edit mode. When attempting to perform the knife project you receive error: "No other selected objects have wire or boundary edges to use for projection" As workaround: * In object mode of the 3D viewport select the leaf object. * Switch to Edit mode. * In the Outliner Ctrl-select click your cutting plane. You should see your leaf and cutting plane selected in the Outliner. * Running the Knife project should now work.
Hi Foobar, thanks for getting the book. When you say there's a bug with the first tip, which first tip are you referring to? Can you point me to the specific page you mean? The "workaround" you describe is the correct method for Knife cutting since Blender 3.0. See this video: th-cam.com/video/rnDzzHAWEHQ/w-d-xo.html
@@BlenderSecrets I meant the first tip in this video where you cut the leaf with the plane grid using knife project. The bug is not yours but, Blender bug. Bug seems to be with the selection of the two objects are not maintained when you switch to edit mode. Hope that clears it up? *EDIT* Or I should have just watched the video you linked..... 😊
Dude! Your timing couldn't be better! I've been trying to figure out this exact problem a few days ago. Basically I have a relatively low poly model and a displacement map. I created the map to only affect a small area of the model, basically an ngon like your leaf. I've been struggling with how to both fill it with a grid and change the density. Thanks!
Do you have any videos about fixing "mesh is non-manifold" issues? Sometimes I can't figure out why or exactly where my mesh is broken at. Loving these longer related-topic collection videos.
1) Make sure it's a closed surface without any gaps 2)I usually use remesh modifier and set to voxel. 3) Decimate it to bring down the mesh density. Hope it helps :)
Maybe you know how can I make retopology faster with hard surface models. I transfer them from CAD program to Blender, and make them as low poly as i can, but with all details. The problem is that there are a lot of non connected polygons, and such retopology by hand is quite time consuming, even if I use moi3d with smart converting alghoritm. I use a lot of tricks from your book, but maybe there are some tricks or nice addons. Would love to hear some advice.
I’m doing product design and I have a 3d non manifold object with terrible topology, can I retopologize(is that a word) by using the method you showed on the leaf?
Just extrude a vertex by selecting it and pressing E, then you can just move it and extrude again, and again... and again... if you zoom in, you can be more precise.
I successfully converted all the n-gons to quads but the topology still looks like garbage (but ig that’s to be expected when I try to use these tricks on a >20 sided weirdogon)

Thanks for all the kind words! :)
I always bring out my knife whenever I see N-gons on my models and this is a very useful tip to add in your workflow
I can't remember when I have learned this much from a tutorial. Great job man!
You are a 3D genie, thank you so much for the great tips!

I can not tell you how much you helped me!!!!!!!!
i habe the Blender Secret eBook! This book is worth every cent! THANK YOU
Thank you!
Great channel for people with ADHD that can't sit though a 30 minute lecture filled with trivial technicalities
This is my favorite blender channel.
i learn more in this 5 min vids from you, than i can in tutorials of 10 hours! thank you so much!
Great tipps in the video!

I know what to be thankful for this Thanksgiving Blender secrets channel 💕💕💕
That Alt J shortcut, was very handy. Thank you! Subscribed.
Yoo, you are by far the most helpful blender channel!!
Always so much important Stuff that you need daily, explained very well and understandable even for beginners.
Also I would love to see your face but its okay 😄
He has shown his face in earlier videos
Such a Lifesaver
Underrated channel, just got a new sub
I got your ebook. About a year ago and it just keeps growing full of tips great purchase
Me vas a hacer llorar, he buscado esto desde hace 2 años.
Ahh, just what I wanted to know! Auto-merging and ctrl x to dissolve vertices!

Thanks man this is one of the most helpful channel that has the shortest video
Thank you! I was able to redo something that's been bugging me all weekend.
SO HAPPY to have a clean mesh now!
Instant subscribe.
It is 5:59 in the morning and I am just noticed this in my feed I'm early
I wish to have superpower to remember all Your tips

@@katiebarber407 I learned that way of remembering stuff from university :) Practice is a good way to remember.
Yes, I usually have to do something about 4 or 5 times to really learn it / remember it.
This just saved my big time pain in figuring out and manually making perfection ✨😭🖖🖖😭🖖😭🖖🖖😭.thanks a lottooototootototooot
Thank you for the info, I really appreciate your insight. I will get your book at the end of April. :)
That was informative as well as relaxing to watch.
Why can I like it only once? Some serious great tips here! Thank you!
I can't believe you packed so many methods in a 5 minute video
Extremely useful video. Liked and faved.
I'm starting with Blender and this is amazing! Thank you
Taking away several insanely useful tips from this one. Thanks so much.

Very nice work as always Jan!
I love you, man. That's all.
This guy must be The master of Blender
Love it! What a lesson!
Please make guide for beginner...i know its to ask but if possible, your methods are fascinating
wow, this tip is awesome!!!!!!!!
This is very useful, I didn't know knife project was a thing.
Love the music!
option simple in subdivision best to do edge crease
Is this fantastic, thanks man for this. Is this very very important technic for transform after knife aplication. Thank very much
Thank you very much 👍👍👍

U always amazes me
Very useful 🔥
Thank you! So useful tutorial!
Je bent een legende, blij dat ik dit nu gevonden heb. Kort krachtig én to the point :)
Great modelling lessons!
Legend thank you
Thank you so much!!!!!
That's pretty good
This is super helpful!!
Wow this is so helpful! Thanks!!
The first method sounds quite powerful, although the second seems to require less clean up
If we buy the book do we also get updates on future versions/updates on the book for a while? LIke, 1 year of updates or something like that?
Yes, free updates forever when you buy the book.
I was looking for something like this for a couple day!! Thank you!!
very useful video !
Thx
thanks!
Perfect
Je préfères JV legends plus "factuel" que "perso", mais le coté "personelle" c'est bon pour une petite intro👌🏿
Tremendo hermanaso
nice video
Great!
ok thing to say ----------DAYUM BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

How would you do this with an .SVG imported shape? From Tris to Quads?
thanks!!!!
Epic
But how can i save the new 3 d model ?
can this secret also be replaced as a retopo, is that possible?
nice
I’m doing product design and I have a 3d non manifold object with terrible topology, can I retopologize(is that a word) by using the method you showed on the leaf?
Ntikiant6! Are quads better than triangles?
AWSOME °_°
How would I do this with an imported SVG file
Felt like an idiot because I couldn't get this simple tool to work. @45 seconds "delete only faces" was the part I was missing.
do I CAN APPLY THIS TECHNIC TO THE SVG FILE IMPORTED FROM ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR.
I TRIED TO DO IT, I CAN'T MAKE IT
👍👍👍
How did you trace the leaf so precisely? I was trying to do something similar and couldn't find anything very helpful googling it.
Just extrude a vertex by selecting it and pressing E, then you can just move it and extrude again, and again... and again... if you zoom in, you can be more precise.
@@BlenderSecrets thank you! I wish blender just had a pen tool that you could add edges/vertices with as you draw. Maybe there's an addon somewhere 🤔
I just watch everything related to blender. Regardless of I understand it or not.
Make a video on texturing with texturingxyz images
Small brain: shrink-wrap modifier
Galaxy brain: apply cloth physics simulation and simulate scissors trimming the edges
I successfully converted all the n-gons to quads but the topology still looks like garbage (but ig that’s to be expected when I try to use these tricks on a >20 sided weirdogon)
N-gone
HOLY SHIT YOU CAN DO THAT??
I know this sound stupid... But why? Why triangle to quads? Does it mess with the object?
Unreal wants triangles now, i think.
fantastic
More like soy-gons and qhads. Am I right?
