Wow! No disrespect to others teaching Plasticity but I was near sensory overload. You answered my Top Ten Frustrations. I think the most helpful thing was your clear, well paced explanations. That was absolutely one the best videos on Plasticity I've watched. Sadly, only hours before, a fella on a Plasticity forum told me about using the slash (/) to put the model back in view. When I saw you mention the slash button to bring the model back in front ... it was like the planets aligning.
You are so welcome! Glad you found it useful! We have a Plasticity playlist with loads of getting started and UI overviews as well as a car modeling series, a beginner series talking about basic workflows here th-cam.com/play/PLBDfGh8A8kXVIrO1aizPFmRBy-A-G9svk.html and i have a course on my learneverythingaboutdesign.com website if you are looking for more content.
@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign I had a $65K powder 3D printer back in 2005. Not really a good buy then. Lost my MoneyMaker™ in the process. ;-) 3D Printing took off after I took a thorough beating. I know my way around Ashlar Vellum Cobalt, Photoshop and Illustrator. Not really a beginner in the craft. Just getting muscle memory and finding the tools in Plasticity. Plasticity is so Mac-Like it's hard not to fall in love with it...except for that crazy ~ must be a windows requirement ~ of double clicking or return to accept. Ugggggh. I think if you direct your videos to help 3D printer and CNC router guys like me, you will get a good following. I know I will be following with a passion!
As an Fusion User I would now like to see the possibilities to edit the part. For example: add or delete some of the cutted spheres (edit the Array). Change the generell outer diameter. Change the positions of the cuting Lines. Something Like that. I change often some of those thinks after printing it for the first time. Holding it in your hands is often completly different then see it on the screen. So the timeline in Fusion is essential for me. How is the typical workflow to make bigger changes after first printing?
yeah unfortunately it is all Direct Modeling (with some slight exceptions). So to remove the dimples you would select the dimple face and delete and Plasticity would patch it. If you wanted to change the OD you would select the faces and offset them a set amount. I 100% hear you and that is a big difference in Plasticity vs Fusion. Those that go to Plasticity are often more direct/conceptual modelers rather than Parametric. So you couldn't go back and say change a dimension from .4mm to .5mm. You could go back to the curves and move one curve .1mm and recut with it, but different workflow.

This a great video Matt, love the pace and explanations!
Thanks Peter!
Amazing as always. Keep up the great work!
Thanks! I have another one ill probably record today. My kids love these types of things and they are easy to model so win win :)
excellent tutorial! thank you
You are welcome!
More fidgets! MORE MORE MORE 😁😁

love it please do more thx
I have more planned! Specifically 3d printing with plasticity or just any plasticity content?
Maybe some cool little puzzles too
thats a good idea
Thx for your videos
My pleasure!
