I disliked because of two key problems: - too fast, zero step by step detailed process - heavy use of brush mode If only you warned about that in the video description...
If you're currently just using Substance to bake and actually don't do any texture work in it, you should check out Bake Wrangler for Blender. It bakes quite literally anything (and since its using a node graph you can re-use bake settings from previous projects quite conveniently)
Yes, this would be for if you are planning to texture with substance painter, in my Skin painting tutorial, I do 100% of texture painting and baking inside of vanilla blender without any external applications: th-cam.com/video/-H_bYDxl-CU/w-d-xo.html
High poly means your model has a high density of polygons, it can be highly detailed but it has too much information for a game engine to handle, and it difficult to animate. So game artist scans the dense high-poly detail on to texture sheet that is projected on a low polygon version of the same model. This texture is called a Normal map and it contains the lighting and bump information the replicates the high polygon geometry. You can get more detail without having more geometry.
@@Tosmo oh sweet right! I remember seeing someone just create a normal map of a high Polly in substance then import the low Polly and hook it up 👍 thanks more clear on this now
Not much at the moment, I sculpt some simple armour in my DOOM style demon video. I would like to sculpt and concept more hard surface subjects, it is pretty fun an easy to do.
Thank you for the video. Is there anyway to include what you press and go slower? I’m unsure how you did those slants to the cylinder at 1:47 and can’t do anything after that since I’m a complete beginner. Also I’m not sure how you can select the middle dotted circle and then push the ends of the cylinder back. Great video but a bit hard to follow for a beginner like myself
Thanks, I understand what you mean, I am considering making a video in the future on basic modeling techniques applied to practical examples. The techniques are simple and I don't use a lot of addons, but it's the approach to modeling that can be hard for people to learn when your beginning.
@@Tosmo thank you for the reply. If you can release a full version of this video without sped up I would greatly appreciate that. I can support you on patreon if you’d like. I love titanfall and would love to model a cool helmet. I was able to get the slants but don’t know how to push the left and right side of the cylinder back for that respirator look. Thanks
@@DaR3ALAWESTSIDENXT33 You probably saw me transform my pivot point. I often move my 3d cursor to the location where I want to strategically scale or rotate an object or a selection from by setting my transform pivot Point to the 3d cursor instead of the median point.
Short answer yes, and just about anything can be animated. typically for games, you need to appropriately optimize your models for animations. The helmet can easily just be set to the same vertex group as the head if you have an already rigged character. Some of my recent videos have touched on the basics of animating, but I hope to do in-depth tutorials in the future.
At 9:05 you mention isolating inner faces. I do not know if I should delete the inner faces of my model as I'm making a game asset, or should I keep them? Do you have any suggestions? Also do you know a fast way to choose inner faces? because doing it manually takes a long time :D Great video. Thanks!
That all depend on if you are going to use them. If a game character is mot expected to take off their helmet and look inside, then you would need to create an interior portion. There's no point in making a a lot of geometry to create something if its never going to be seen.
@@Tosmo Thanks. I have one more question though. Do you use subdivision surface modifier in this video? You mentioned it, but I haven't seen it used. A trivial question
@@Klarified01 Most parts get a subD modifier after I add a bevel. However, I often have "simlify" enabled and set to 0 in my viewport render properties simply to save some processing time.
Objects can be made smooth by right clicking and select "smooth shading". You can also select auto smooth in the object properties tab under Normals. This get turned on by default when using the hard ops addon.
do you need hard ops to get the hard edges after applying the subdivision modifer? i am working on a helmet that i want to add mechanical parts for 3d printing and i need sharp edges but everything rounds off after adding subdivisions ide be greatful for any insight! thanks
Hard Ops is helpful but not necessary in this demo. I show the standard Blender method of creating hardsurface objects without any addons. Only later on in this video do I start using Hard ops for convenience sake.
This is more suitable for game engine use, there a few other steps that would need to be taken for 3d printing, and the workflow is a little different, but it can be accomplished in Blender.
Can you do a full tutorial on this helmet? I would watch it all, you dont need to comment I have some experience, I want to know your full process, you can activate the keys you press to show in the screen, that wouñd be awesome

I got a ton of really valuable information from this. Thank you for sharing, man.
No Problem! Real happy it was useful :)
hey I'm new to 3d i don't understand why people use high poly mesh details on low poly and what is this baking process?
High poly means your model has a high density of polygons, it can be highly detailed but it has too much information for a game engine to handle, and it difficult to animate.

also id like to use the sculpt tool too for hard surface any videos that use sculpt specifically in belnder for hard surface?
Not much at the moment, I sculpt some simple armour in my DOOM style demon video. I would like to sculpt and concept more hard surface subjects, it is pretty fun an easy to do.
@@Tosmo thanks! Any good sources where I can get started with sculpting in blender? Heard there was a huge up date to sculpting
lol @ 1.30 your finished, at least it fixed his face ;) great vid thx
Why helmet looks easy but actually complex to make? Anyway, amazing workflow!
Once you get a grasp of it, the workflow is easier than others. Still fairly complex though.

Thanks Erman, I'm glad you enjoyed :)
Man how did respawn not hire you
I need a lot of help with this app I don’t really understand what everything is for and how to use it 😩please help
That helmet can animate in latar

can you do a fighter pilot helmet.

@@Tosmo thank you so much!, also do you recommend any tips on how to create sharp edges /90 degree angles and even holes on subdivision models?
@@grahamtech If you don't want to use a bevel to create a hard edge on a subdivided mesh, then press Shift+E to drag off and create an Edge Crease.
And this will 3dprint?
This is more suitable for game engine use, there a few other steps that would need to be taken for 3d printing, and the workflow is a little different, but it can be accomplished in Blender.
@@Tosmo yeah I just thought there was a easier way of doing it without needing to connect all the meshes together
@@Tosmo thank you

any tutorials without using any add-ons?
Most of this is all vanilla blender, and everything can be done without extra add-ons. Add-ons save a lot of time, however.
Dude did you render this begginning animation bro?
nice video
Thanks 😀👍
I am going to get nightmares of you going into wireframe mode.
Its look very easy but its very hard hhh
the number of likes this video gets is pretty nice..... just like that helmet
Thanks a lot, it was a quick design giving homage to one of my favorite games of the last generation.
How is this a tutorial?
You move too fast.....
