Fantastic. I'm pretty sure for every one of these tips, I said to myself "ahh, I know what he's going to do." And then every time you surprised me with some new feature or workflow I didn't know existed.
Transfer normals blew my mind. I always thought you had to get it all lined up and shrinkwrapped, and then do a remeshing to properly join them. A non-destructive shrinkwrap intersection that just fudges the perfect transition is incredible.
Loop tools, shrink wrap, angle joining and curves for cables have floored me in this video. I've been avoiding making so many models for years because I didn't know those techniques existed. Thank you so much.
I got up out of my chair and left the room multiple times watching this. I am so mad that I took some of these features for granted (the transfer normals thing is CRAZY dude I have never used Data Transfer) and so thankful to you guys for making this video.
I've been searching for a nice tutorial that would give me the "basics" or the standar process for Hard surface, this might be just a nunch of tips, but man, this is one of the best hard surface tutorials I've found so far. amazing.
As a junior Hard surface artist, last one got to be one of the most game changer tip that i've learned in the past 3 years, you deserve the best my man.
3 years working in Blender, Bridge Edge Loops is the operator #1 on my keyboard, every time i used to make the pipes with the spin and merge by hands, every fckn time i thought here is no way to make it other way. And every fckn time i had this feature on my most used hotkey. Cool! Thank you guys!
Great tips, I learned some game changers. Appreciate it. BTW, instantly add things to a vertex group by selecting vertices in Edit mode and press Ctrl+G.
This is just incredible, amazing how you can use a program for so long and still get surprised by such simple little tricks, that normal transfer was such a mindblower for me, thank you for sharing!
Some awesome stuff here, each section taught me something new and that last section at the end was really awesome, didn't know any of that!!! Thanks a lot for putting this up!!
Golden hard surface modeling tips thank you so much .I've never thought of combining vertex group assignment with shrink wrap before and i can think of so many complex models that it would be such a helpful trick to use❤❤❤
When snapping the pulse engine onto the other object at 6:45 I missed an important setting where you have to set the Snap Base to "Center". It is not explicitely mentioned in the vido but important because otherwise your pulse engine won't snap properly.
I did that and still, the object is allways 90° off. Works at the very side of the object, where the surface is flat, but at the place I was supose to position it, dos not work.
I usually only model organic characters, I'm so surprised how well this hard surface model turned out for me! Thank you so much for making these seemingly complex shapes so approachable!
I love your videos and I'm really looking forward to going through your course! I bought it a couple months ago but had to take a Blender detour for a bit, but I'm excited to get back into things soon!
Another good method for making cables is via vertex extrusion, add a skin modifier, edit mode, ctrl+A to change the fatness of the cable and et viola you have a cable that can be moved around with normal editing tools (this gives easier control in some instances and may be preferred), you can dynamically subdivide it or vertex bevel it as needed which is nice too. As a bonus this tool is EXTREMELY useful for tree roots and other organic shapes since you can set the skin thickness per vertex if you so desire.
I have 880 hours in blender (yeah I know that thats not too much for blender, I started using it almost a year ago), and there are a lot of things I learned from this! This helped me so much with hard-surface modelling!
Great tips! But if I may bring up a problem for further, a bit more advanced construction... ... the shrinkwrap and normal data transfer method works perfectly to integrate objects with simple materials... but what would you do when they have any sort of texture? If been using this method for some time now to "blend" objects of different density... but I still haven't found a reliable way to add textures to that. Any ideas?
Excellent tips, the 90 bridge is something I've never used before. An additional curve tip, if you need to make a curve that is both not on a surface nor on the x/y/z plane is to just use a NURBs "path." You don't have to mess with bezier handles, and the result is a smoothed interpolation between the points.
Fantastic. I'm pretty sure for every one of these tips, I said to myself "ahh, I know what he's going to do." And then every time you surprised me with some new feature or workflow I didn't know existed.
Same!

Yeah thats pretty impressive, imagine making a rig with that, a lot of possibilities
Blew my mind with that one. I'm never doing a Union boolean ever again
help me with that- its great but its pop out in substance in AO baking
Fancy seeing you here!

Just wanted to say I really like the thumbnail showing what kind of tips would be inside. It’s a great solution for a hard to summarize video topic!
The best 10 minutes of blender content on all of youtube, no exaggeration.

Man, that's 9 minutes, 31 seconds full of learning about solving common modelling difficulties. Thank you so much! 🙂
This video shall be saved to a playlist and revisited many times, as I am sure to forget all these amazing tips during a project! Thanks! :D
one of the best tips in blender after my 3 years thankyou
Nice style you have, to the point & entertaining
Felt like I was missing something in my knowledge of hard-surface modelling, and these really clicked into place for me! Thanks.
Thanks!

So many great tips, presented in a very clear and efficient way. One of the best Blender trick video I've seen. Thank you !
This was really amazing! Lots of crazy stuff hidden in blender! Keep up the good work
7:30 I love the way you explained that you can limit a modifier to act only on a group of vertices. Good stuff!
The last one feels magical, never even imagined something like that could be done! The approach is simple and intuitive yet the result is amazing.
As a junior Hard surface artist, last one got to be one of the most game changer tip that i've learned in the past 3 years, you deserve the best my man.
Last one is awesome.

Oh nice. Will have to try this, thanks!
Those were some awesome professional tips, thank you so much!
This is the best blender video I have seen in years. Please, please. More of this. Thank you so much
This is a real gold mine! Wish I had known this stuff a long time ago...
This is just incredible, amazing how you can use a program for so long and still get surprised by such simple little tricks, that normal transfer was such a mindblower for me, thank you for sharing!
amazing
Drawing the curves instead of moving vertices just made making my cartoonish hair for my characters 10x easier 🙏❤️
One of those special demos that is both succinct and informative, thank you Louis a great video!
Thank you, the Mesh Detail 6:07 and Transfer Normals 7:43 were especially helpful!
Some awesome stuff here, each section taught me something new and that last section at the end was really awesome, didn't know any of that!!!
Thanks a lot for putting this up!!
This is so much valuable information in a very straight-forward video! Lots of techniques I was not aware of. Thanks a lot!
WOOOOW, one of the best tutorials i've ever seen! THANKS!
This is one of the best tuts I've seen recently, these are super usefull. Thank you!
Golden hard surface modeling tips thank you so much .I've never thought of combining vertex group assignment with shrink wrap before and i can think of so many complex models that it would be such a helpful trick to use❤❤❤
Hard-surface gods are pleased.😁
CG Boost is the way to learn! Fantastic info here.
Very good! Big fan of CGBoost!!

Thank you that's what was bugging me !
I did that and still, the object is allways 90° off. Works at the very side of the object, where the surface is flat, but at the place I was supose to position it, dos not work.

Thank you so much for making these seemingly complex shapes so approachable!
I can't believe how helpful every tip was and how it was packed into such a short video. Really great stuff
Awesome tips! Thank you for sharing!
This is absolutely amazing, thank you for the tips! It helps a lot!
These productivity tips are amazing!
Those last couple tips had my jaw on the ground
No question, the most useful video I've seen in ages. Concise and helpful. Love it!
CG Boost videos never fails to entertain and teach new tricks! Thank you!
Wonderful! These tips are going to really help with my modeling, thanks! I never thought of using Shrinkwrap with a vertex group, that's so powerful!
The last one was really helpful and awsome. Never heard about this modifier. Thank you for sharing those tips.
It's impressive how much blender improved over the year. It's non destructive editing is so good.
thank for these tips, awesome
fantastic video
Best one ive seen i while, saving this!
wow that was very helpful, ty for the tips I'm a newbie in blender and that cables tip already motivated me to make a cool mech🙏
Fantastic! Loui is one of my favourite Instructors on CGBoost

Genius tips, thanks it definitely improves the workflow
Grazie, Veramente esplicativo di certe procedure complesse di Blender.
istg this video literally explained everything i been confusing for the past 2 month
the transfer normals one was absolutely crazy
One of the best teachers out there. His Robotic Planet class is great too.
Wow, a lot of useful information! Subscribed
What a great, short, tips video. Well done!
oh wow as a newbie this video is so informative! can't wait to get back home and improve the model I started to work on! thank you!
collection of some wicked tricks. thanks
Amazing! I hardly thought of using any of these tips before, though I have to wonder if they can be used for characters and animations, too.
thank you so much for the great tutorials! love them alll!! :)
Awesome tricks
This tutorial is really helpful, Thankyou.
