In this video, I try to explain, why how Blender and Plasticity are similar but different and each have a use case, and how its all about the right tool for the job. - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
its very interesting to find out
In my opinion autodesk and adobe combo is the top tier to use, Texturing with subtance painter, maya for animation, 3ds-max for modeling and more. But it hard to learn them, they are really complex! Great video, keep going
Fair play, I disagree about Max, but Maya has great animation tools for sure, this video was more of a response to people saying -why should I pay for software?, I don't know if I was clear enough, but the right tool at the end of the day is the one that you're comfortable with that gets the job done
Keep bowing to your corporate overlords I guess
@@j_shelby_damnwird u can get cracked ;)
You didn't really touch on the boolean capabilities of Plasticity. That's where the software truly excels. It's more dynamic and easy to use even than MOI, Fusion, and MOP Booleans with Modo, all of which already blew ZBrush and Blender out of the water. There's a lot more to it than people are giving it credit for. But I guess you don't really run into that unless you're doing high level modeling.
Deffo the way to go for boolean hard surface stuff, is the main reason I use plasticity, I will admit I didn't really script this video I just wanted to make an example of different ways you might use each technique might do an updated version more generally down the line that highlights better the pros and cons of each technique
My workflow at the moment is Plasticity for the grunt work and then Blender for fine tuning. My work is predominantly non-organic objects for 3D printing, and Plasticity is great for knocking out objects quickly and accurately.
Blender will always be a part of the equation. Its just too powerful. The base app plus all the plugins available is just ridiculous. The only problem I have with it personally is that the UI is the posterchild for TMI. Its like wanting to ride your bike, but you're presented with the cockpit of the space shuttle.
Plasticity provides the essentials in your face, with everything else being a shortcut away. This combined with the search function make the UI very easy to learn. Even as a complete novice its very intuitive.
Agree 💯 here, I'm used to it now but the first time I opened blender 2.78 I basically closed it again for a few weeks
Would you say that plasticity is useful for 3d printing jewelry alongsize zbrush (if the product in question is organic like a skull ring)
But if the product in question is going to be a cnc machined piece.. then fusion 360 because plasticity although nurbs.. isn't exactly suited to that?
@@wildguardian I haven't dived deep on the 3d printing side of things aside from printing a few sculpts.
I cant see why this wouldn't be OK as long as the final mesh is manifold
I think the ui for blender was designed by someone who thought well microsoft excel has menu's let's stuff menu's on top menu's and go with that.
I appreciate the video, but I am mostly interested in what the end product is in terms of. is it viable for a game ready model? Is it only for 2D renders? etc.
It seems like almost ever video I watch skips over this
It's totally viable for a game ready model, slightly different workflow to polymodelling, you need to convert to OBJ and do some fixing of mesh and uvs but no more than traditional boolean workflow.
My latest video is a direct reply to your question.
Thank you for making this video of those 3 software. Plasticity is CAD?
Yes plasticity is Cad, you can check out my introduction to placticity video, and I explain what it is.
@@takerefuge3d this video, right?
@@takerefuge3dit’s not Cad!! Stop lying
At present in my opinion the difference is only one: curved surfaces.
Blender is strong in subd, but eve it is powerfull it is slow because the subd are slow.
Curved surfaces in Plasticity are slow and rather technical, still.
Solid modeling in Plasticity win also Boxcutter Hardops and whetever polygonal program.
Once Plasticity will have subd (and maybe it will, as with Rhino) with a new workflow, all in it the 3D part dealing with modeling will be unrivaled. But a thousand things can happen in the meantime: new addons in Blender, new tools, improvements of existing ones.
With Nurbs models there is nothing to subdivide as it's completely different from polygons, in a way it already is sub d and you just choose your resolution when you export.
@@takerefuge3dthere is a subd workflow in CAD too, it's just that plasticity doesn't support it atm
Plasticity makes me think of a cross between Blender and CAD
Exactly right, it borrows the blender controls and speed of modelling with a cad base.
Perfect combo in my opinion.
So box cutter and hard ops arent as good as plasticity?
The dev borrowed from those in regards to shortcuts so plasticity tips it's hat to those add-ons, working with nurbs is a little bit easier than working with polys for hard surface stuff, so I'm just considering it another tool in my belt.
I picked up Plasticity in a day (to the point where it clicked) I've been playing about with Blender on and off for years and honestly? I can't stand it. It's got better by miles but still the modelling is just retarded.
Retarded? It's a pure spline to surface modeller, it doesn't get much better than this for freeform modelling. A lowbudget software that allows you to quickly model a car by example is awesome! What modelling program/manner are you used to? I also do modelling in max, zbrush, but a package like this is indispensable
Same here!
@@alexvisart1016 why would you wait for a cracked version? This package is EXTREMELY affordable for what it does, only 100euro gets you a full license!
@@alexvisart1016 It's a $100, honestly the guy who developed it is just one bloke and he's done something incredible: most of that money will go to paying the licence to the company that develop the geometry kernel..same one used in the main stream parametric CAD applications that cost 1000s...just pay the guy for God's sake.🙏
@@alexvisart1016 🤮🤮🤮
As a product designer, I'm thinking Blender is the way forward...on so many levels and for so many reasons.
Thanks for the comment, I agree a tool like blender is indespensible Blender is my number one for sure, but I still like to have a seperate knives for slicing tomatoes and chopping potatoes.
@@takerefuge3d Take your point...but I put value on a knife that will slice tomatoes and chop potatoes with equal perfection
@@porthmeor1 and that is my point in the video (may be didn't do the best job making it) an all round chopping knife will do every thing well enough but it won't slice a tomatoe paper thin like a serrated fruit knife and it won't fillet a fish like a filleting knife, in the same way blender can't do nurbs modeling and plasticity has no render engine and zbrush modelling tools are pretty awkward.
Blender is very good at a lot, and it's free and it's my go too for most things, but to continue the knife analogy going there is no knife that does all knife tasks with equal perfection (speaking as some one who worked as a chef for a decade) 😏☺️
@@porthmeor1 in saying that I agree blender is the way forward and open source in general, it's getting better by the day and I am excited and amazed with every update.
"in this video , i try to explain....." gonna need to try harder there champ, all i see is someone not explaining anything at all, but dont worry im sure all the nice comments will make you feel like you achieved your goal....spoiler alert , you didnt.
Wow... You've gone too far. You could have said it in a constructive way and I would honestly agree, but you just spewed bile.
Yeah I'm still learning to structure yt videos and honestly could have come up with a better example to highlight differences and actually written a script, but in regards to this kind of commentary it's "water off ducks back" as they say, I used to wash windows in traffic when I was a teenager so my skin is thick. 🙃
Yeah imma be real nothing really got explained and I feel like I got super clickbaited BUT you're an asshole for putting it this way
