Thank you for this video i'm a game programmer trying to broaden my modeling skills as well and every single step you mentioned from being able to understand how forms work in the real world and deconstructing the work of others all the way to knowing when to reuse parts and having a workflow are all applicable to the field of programming as well so I really take them to heart.
I'm glad it helped. Even if it is mostly general advice that can be used for a variety of applications, I find it helps to keep reminding myself of these tips from time to time.
Yeah, I got some tips, it's actually something I have been playing around with. The main tip is to define the design motif you are going for and learn how to convey more with less.
@@Tosmo for an example, the games Dusk and Ultrakill knew they couldn't compete with AAA FPS, so they went with a pretty minimal PS1 era style. Probably not what I want to do exactly, but having constraints is important when working alone.
@@mana20 I did something slightly similar in another project that I made a short video on. I think there are more details I can go into in a future video: th-cam.com/video/H4e1Zd5Ug2k/w-d-xo.html
Will for me.. i finish the donut and grant abit absolute beginners toturial , half of his get good in blender and then I tried doing a huge sci fi underground base...Still bad at many points in modelling but got a lot of experience, better understanding of tools, and discovering new solutions..... I will rebuild the same project next month after watching some more toturials of other stuff like cloth physic cables better glass, light, and baking
so for a gun like this, are you adding new primitive shapes when you are adding to the gun and it's detail? Or could you use existing topology to add on to the gun? I'm learning blender and I love it, so much to learn but 4 months ago I knew nothing about modeling, now I know a little more and can create some stuff, nothing crazy but it's fun to see progress and I know I can create something special in the future with more persistence. edit - seems like you cover this in your steps. I appreciate the video thank you for your knowledge!
@@joyz_style I think the donut is a mess for a beginner, basically blender guru shows you everything in 1 tutorial (nodes, particles, sculpting, modeling, texture painting, animation etc). As an absolute beginner I found it really challenging, I've made it 1 year ago and I must say that the tutorial is brilliant to understand (a little) blender's potential and complexity. I'm currently Into blender bros (boxcutter and hard ops) what are your favorite out there ?
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 Same! I started with blender guru, I’m now following imesh for more arch vis and interior asset modeling tutorials. My end goal is arch vis so.. those are mostly who I’m following.
I have some timelapse videos uploaded on my channel as well as stream VODs where I go through a weapon model project from start to finish in real time :)
Hello nice video what i have issue with my modelling is that if i only have a single side view image then i have problem with width and height but if i have all sides image but in black and white i mess up with details and all.
There is recent series of videos on my channel, in which I cover a bunch of steps concerning weapon design from high-poly modeling to texturing. I'n that series I'm working on creating an older model AR-10 in that video series which should be fairly similar to what you're looking for 👍
i have been trying to develop a ww2 game, and the stg44 modeling is going so horribly, not to mention the mg42 i failed at also. the hardest thing is learning the tools of blender and trying to shape things
I just find it hard to manipulate the mesh itself. I’ve been trying different objects today and each of them have ended in a flop because I just don’t know how to recreate the 3D shape. It’s disheartening but I will carry on, but there’s just something I haven’t caught on yet
While I love getting out to find real world reference, most of the time you need to rely of web research to fill in as much detail as possible. There is a very helpful resource section in my Discord server linked in the description, from there you can learn to hunt for your own sources.
Hi. Very nice 15 minutes (5 minutes to watch again). I am learning blender for 1 month. But because of I am 3d game developer too, blender felt very familiar to me and I already started to model hard models. But I dont know that when my model is ready to sell online. How can I know and be sure that my model is really error-free and good.
You can check your model for as many errors as possible. Try exporting it to different programs in different formats. Think of how people might use the model in their projects, and optimize it for that.
Lol that blender guru reference

Dude, thanks for these tips, I'll follow your advice! Thank you very much.
And how?
They work?
you format to mention tip no.8, Myabe tip 8 was usable your model. thanks for this tutorial & keep it up🔥🔥
Any advice on stylized but minimal models? I want to keep it simple so I can create a lot of content, but be interesting.

Now I can finally model an Amazon box so I can recreate my dream in blender
Aye let's go lucid dream?
Considering the anvil like level 1 is a bit unfair, at say at least lvl 5 to 30. Btw it was funny as hell ahah
True, donut is certified level one.

@@joyz_style cool how is it going? (4 months later),
@@gabrielegagliardi3956 haha!😅 Well I'm currently modeling my second interior project. So I can safely say so far so good
Have you got a video of that gun demo? I’d like to see how you start out the model
I have some timelapse videos uploaded on my channel as well as stream VODs where I go through a weapon model project from start to finish in real time :)
@@Tosmo nice! I’ll be sure to have a look. I fancy making some weapons for practise but every attempt so far has been pretty bad
OH MY THE BEGGING PART 0:00
Hello nice video what i have issue with my modelling is that if i only have a single side view image then i have problem with width and height but if i have all sides image but in black and white i mess up with details and all.
Im trying to model a M4A1. I was wondering if you could make a tutorial of that?

same im building a game kind of like insurgency sandstorm im running into a problem with 3 d art
@@herrofrwiends8475 damn, goodluck i eventually gave up
@@jayhop960 hey don’t give up , it’s hard at first , just got to have practice. And a good group to help you along the way
I just find it hard to manipulate the mesh itself. I’ve been trying different objects today and each of them have ended in a flop because I just don’t know how to recreate the 3D shape.
It’s disheartening but I will carry on, but there’s just something I haven’t caught on yet
Keep working on it, use good references, copy what others do, and eventually you will get a hold of it for yourself.
Bro when I use Subdivision surface, I have to hope for the best on what's it's going to create

I've finally found my style of modeling:
Ugly as hell

Which software do u use?
I use Blender as my primary 3d program, zbrush for high poly mesh works, and Substance Painter for texturing.
you have a gun!!
Few times i start modeling grenade and didnt finish...hard
The grenade tutorial is more difficult than it looks, it's a good challenge to test your problem solving skills, especially in Blender.
Z brush is best for hard surface modeling ?
Depends on what you are creating, but Zbrush does hardsurface Modeling and concepts very well.
@@Tosmo thanks a lot
You save my time
Thank you so much
Zbrush is for sculpting, not just hard surface modeling.
Thanks for the tute... lol
Which program
Blender 3d
How does he get all of the lines to edit from though
ALT+z to go into x-ray mode
@@Tosmo thanks
1:46 thats not cheating
