If anyone is watching in 2020 the Merge to Center is not ALT M it is now just M. Great video. I forgot to add this - If you are going to have small, medium and large sized trees. Create 3 different models with the appropriate number of polygons for the objects size and importance. I found out that if you are halving the size, halve subdivision as well. This creates cohesion. If you don't and you just duplicate trees or rocks and re-scale them, it can turn out your images could be a messy.
Note: [1:52] If you scaled down your cube before merging the vertices, the skin will look EXTREMELY lumpy. To fix this, select all vertices in edit mode, and scale it up until it looks normal. Then, in OBJECT MODE, scale it back down to the size you want.
Well all of us are beginners, we should call this a Beginers Age!, rather than some Millinials or Gen Z or or Gen X generation ;). Every pro learns himself all the time.
In 11:50 if someone is rotation the leaf and the tree are rotate together, you created the leef with the tree, go to Edtir Mode use "L" key to select leaf right button mouse and "Separete" -> "Selecetion" and the leaf will be just the leaf not the tree.
This tutorial shows in a nice way that you do not need to create your desired object out of only one base object. Using more objects and combining them afterwards can give quicker results and also be easier to do, especially if you are not that experienced in modeling. Thank you for that
I guess I messed up on the Pine tree and made the needles parts all in the wrong mode so when I was in Object mode I could only select the whole tree not the individual parts. So I remembered from an earlier Tutorial of Grants' that in Edit mode I could "separate by parts" under the "Mesh -Separate" tabs and voila it worked :P Great teacher!
This is the first ever blender model I tried as a fresher it took solid 3 hours for me to model this and I'm happy that it came out really well Thanks for the great tutorial keep up the great work.😇
i really want to ask that where r you standing now after 3 years because im also a fresher so that i also can figured it out that how it become also easy for me one day...
Hi. Thanks for your video. A good way to fill the notches in the tree is using the option Faces / Fill Grill. If you have any gap in your mesh you can use this tool and with the option Offset change the way Blender fill the gap until you are happy with the position of the faces. If the gap is big, you can save a lot of time. I´m sure you knew that but can be very useful for the rest.
Fantastic video. Second modelling object/course I did in Blender after the donut by "Blender Guru". I love that you have the buttons to press displayed on the lower right side. Great tutorial, very well explained. Bob Ross indeed, I never felt so relaxed doing something so fun in the evening after a stressful day. I will definitely do view more of your videos like this, just for the fun of it
The simplest way to make a tree is, start with a cube, extra face upward and, scale it down and, twist them a bit . . where you want branches, add loop cuts and, extrude a single face and, bend it upwards and, make a ' bulp ' at the end, by scaling four extrusions, so they ' bulge ' out or, Seem big - - then, add some quick materials and, Boom Simple tree, Your trees are nice but, they Not single mesh, if you do it this way, it one, continuous mesh Or, Object . . I Don't know if that's important but, I Dig it - - § Your trees look nice too, Though, and, they Look good in a Game Or, movie - -
Having them be a single mesh is indeed very good for video games as it usually reduces the amount of times the draw function has to be called to draw an object. AFAIK you can just join the objects after modelling them like shown in this video, that way you would probably get those trees as a single mesh too.
If somebody has problems that u get big cube like meshes ... go on the top under mesh -> transformation -> Skin Resize [Ctrl + A] => its for the skin modifier to scale down the "thicknis" around the edges xD
man this video was awesome! I love how to the point you are and I especially loved that you threw little tips in there like the create a new instance thing. hadn't heard that before so thanks!
Cool little trick I learned from one of Imphenzia's (another great Blender master for beginners) videos: if you change the Snap With to "Active", you can just Shift + RMB to change the location of 3D cursor to top of another branch, Shift +D to duplicate the icosphere and Ctrl + point at the top of the branch to snap the duplicated icosphere to the new location.
This is so great! I was thinking of doing something similiar like making a mobile game and then donating through global givings api to tree planting charities, but the conversion wouldn't have been no way nearly as efficient! like a big chunk would have gone loss, like apple/google taking a chunk, global giving taking a chunk, that like it would have needed 10 $ for a tree or so... 1$ per tree is so fucking awesome! so happy you made me aware of this! thank you
I had no idea there was such a better way to make trees! That is so freaking quick! Thank you for sharing this! Defiantly looking forward to making my trees for my game. ^ ^
Just a neat little trick with the Skin-Mod: in the Properties Sidebar [N-key] you can review the numerical values associated with each vertex' skin radii. They are called "Radius X" and "Radius Y" and sit in _Properties Sidebar [N] > Item-tab > Transform-section > Vertex Data_ below the Bevel-Weight bar. Checking the numerical setting can be useful in case a node in the branch-structure has the wrong thickness and you don't want to under- or overscale it. Additionally Ctrl+A's Skin-Rescale is implemented like a normal tool. This means limiting by the X- or Y-axis works just like the regular Vertex Transformation Tools and even the Proportional Editing Tool [O-key] can be used to scale neighboring vertices quickly. So the whole trunk can be done in as little as one single re-scale.
If anybody wants the tree models in a unified mesh: 1) Object Method: add the icospheres in Object Mode as separate from the trunk and unify them by adding a Boolean Modifier to the trunk, set to Union with the icosphere selected as the Object in the dropdown-list. 2) Mesh Method: pull the foliage-bubble away from the branch, inset [I-key] a smaller face on one of the foliage-faces near the branch, select both the face on the tip of the branch and the inset foliage face and bring up the Edge Quick Menu [Ctrl+E] to connect them with Bridge Edge Loops.
Another good trick for low-poly modeling in particular is customized quick access to merging: since Remove Doubles has become _Mesh > Clean Up > Merge by Distance_ I've bypassed it [RMB to bring up context menu with the desired shortcut-target selected] via the Quick Favorites menu [Q-key]. That way I can quickly grab vertices or edges, edge-slide them [G x2] into other vertices and fuse them. Another good addition is _Overlays > Geometry: Face Orientation_ as a convenient reminder for beginner to keep models clean.
*Low Poly Douglas Fir* Ref. woodyplants.wdfiles.com/local--files/pseudotsuga-menziesii/pseudotsuga_menziesii_tree.JPG The Douglas Fir's foliage is less fanned out than the 3rd tree in the video and its needles hang in heavy clusters from its branches. Yet the species maintains a strong, majestic appearance thanks to its upward-swept branch-growth. An elegant low-poly approximation is a banana with a boomerang cross-section: 1) insert a cube and stretch it longer by about x3 2) insert loop cuts for shape definition, this design requires 3 faces for branch length and width, 2 for height 3) grab all width-edges on the front bottom and rear bottom and edge-slide [G x2] them upwards into center-height, then Merge by Distance to remove excess vertices 4) on the front select the upper and lower center face and scale them to zero [Median-Pivot!] along the width-axis, then Merge By Distance again 5) select the two top-faces in the front, the three top-faces in the rear and on the top deck the dead-center and rear-center faces and scale them inward along the width-axis by about 0.300 6) on both sides select the top and bottom center faces at half-length, scale them inwards along the width-axis by about 0.500 and pull them downwards by about 0.800, then on the top select the dead-center face and pull it down by about 0.400 7) on both sides select the bottom center faces at half-length and scale them outward across the width 8) on the rear select the bottom-center edge and pull it upward to form a roughly square top-center face for a well-proportioned branch-attachment shape You should now have an upwards-swept branch with downwards-hanging needle leaves made of 132 tris. Scale and randomize the proportions to your liking. To complete the fir, add a tall thin cylinder to serve as a trunk and scale the top circle to taper it. Duplicate the branch and rotate them around the trunk [mind the Pivot-setting]. Insert loop-cuts to provide faces to connect the branches to with [Ctrl+E > Bridge Edge Loops]. The larger lower branches are heavier and have a less pronounced upwards-sweep. If the tree is supposed to tower over other trees with a long branchless trunk-section, extrude the bottom-ring of the trunk straight down because tree-trunks only taper on foliage-sections for reasons related to mechanical stress. _Then whistle the Halo theme song because you know this conifer design reminds you of something!_
*Low Poly Aloe Vera* Ref. infogalactic.com/info/File:Aloe_vera_flower_inset.png The complicated tangling of the succulent's leaves can be beautifully simplified in low-poly style using one of Blender's built-in primitives: 1) insert an ico sphere 2) switch to Vertex-Selection [1], wireframe-display [Shift+Z] and from a side-view [Numpad 1] box-select [W] all vertices in the top half of the sphere, switch the Pivot-Setting to 3D-Cursor-based and flatten the northern hemisphere by scaling along the height-axis to zero [S, Z, 0] 3) switch to Face-Selection [3], grab only one of the flattened triangles and extrude [E] straight up, then merge all vertices at center [Alt+M, "At Center"] 4) repeat for most or all of the flat triangles, tris near the center should be extruded taller than tris near the rim 5) switch back to Vertex-Selection [1], box-select [W] all spike-vertices and fan them out by scaling with Cursor-Pivot along the horizon-plane [Shift+Z] Randomize the shape to your liking and populate your forest with succulents. _Then realize that succulents don't look natural next to Douglas firs, erase your composition and model some Mediterranean conifers and palm-trees instead._
A simple way, to make trees . . make a square, extrude it and, make two loops cuts where you want a branch, then extrude it from those squares, a branch and, you have a simple, functional tree - -
Ok, I've spent the day with trees officially :D This was the final result of the first tree for me: i.imgur.com/EEjl0kv.png I also did the pine, but that didn't look so awesome at the end. It looks OK from afar though. Check them out in UE: i.imgur.com/qconYzT.jpg Almost sellable :D I do need to revisit all my models though. It turns out I missed some important thing with all. Location. If you don't put the model to the middle, when you import then try to rotate, it rotates on the center (or maybe misplaced origin), if you scale it, scales my hopping around off the screen etc.. - Apply transforms and modifiers, - Merge the model as 1 object, - Set origin to geometry, - Set the model to world center, - Pack textures into the model, - Export as FBX.. I need to work a bit more on best practices, since this can be complicated with more than one texture slots. My final goal is to be able to produce models that can be added to UE as props and foliage to create scenes. I feel quite comfortable with making the models, I'm 20% comfortable with texturing (I'm not really clear on adding multiple parts of my model to the same texture yet. Sometimes I get it right though, but it's guesswork, not knowledge :D)
Thanks for the video. Im wondering if you could potentially make a tutorial video with creating pixel art textures for 3d models. As looking online it is confusing as I believe you have to create the model using grid snapping to have the texture clean, but im not sure.
If u want to use the third tree in a video game make the leaves a little bit thicker or u will have maybe graphic bugs / glitch's and it's anyways better for the performance.
Excellent tutorial. I like your calm but concise way of explaining things. You don't talk too fast and you are very beginner friendly in your explanations. I learned so many new skills from this one video. I am only learning in order to design things for 3D printing, but the majority of this video was relevant for me. Thanks very much. New sub from me. :D
love the tutorials.I may do some videos on doing these tutorials because some funny stuff happens lol,Like my ico sphere is one giant sphere with missing faces here and there even when i scale it down,and when i did hte skin mod on trunk i had to scale it down because it was a huge blob of polygons. Edit: And i found out why my stuff was being crazy.
Nice Tutorial! I have one big issue (using Blender 2.83 LTS): When i have my model ready for coloring and i open the shading tab, my object becomes something like specular-reflect-invisible(?)-ish. I can´t see the colors i am adding on it like you do at min 13:52. I never had this issue before. Even if i open a new project, this issue is still there. Can you help?
I mean that my cube is at the step to get colored, but not like in your video is the object white, its is specular like the ball left from the white ball at min 13:52 where the Buttonshower says LEFTMOUSE in front of those said preview balls.
As a beginner Me: I've done it without watching the video. Few moments Later After watching the video Me: Wait he did it on a way different procedure? 👁👄👁
![Как устроен QR-код? [Veritasium]](/img/n.gif)
[1:15] - Merge Shortcut has changed. It isn't _Alt_ + _M_ anymore. Now it's just _M._

Hey thanks for the tutorial. That way of shaping the tree I’ve never seen before and it’s a really cool trick.
For those who don't have such a nice result:
- enable ambient occlusion and increase the distance.

*Low Poly Douglas Fir*

The Douglas Fir's foliage is less fanned out than the 3rd tree in the video and its needles hang in heavy clusters from its branches. Yet the species maintains a strong, majestic appearance thanks to its upward-swept branch-growth.
An elegant low-poly approximation is a banana with a boomerang cross-section:
1) insert a cube and stretch it longer by about x3
2) insert loop cuts for shape definition, this design requires 3 faces for branch length and width, 2 for height
3) grab all width-edges on the front bottom and rear bottom and edge-slide [G x2] them upwards into center-height, then Merge by Distance to remove excess vertices
4) on the front select the upper and lower center face and scale them to zero [Median-Pivot!] along the width-axis, then Merge By Distance again
5) select the two top-faces in the front, the three top-faces in the rear and on the top deck the dead-center and rear-center faces and scale them inward along the width-axis by about 0.300
6) on both sides select the top and bottom center faces at half-length, scale them inwards along the width-axis by about 0.500 and pull them downwards by about 0.800, then on the top select the dead-center face and pull it down by about 0.400
7) on both sides select the bottom center faces at half-length and scale them outward across the width
8) on the rear select the bottom-center edge and pull it upward to form a roughly square top-center face for a well-proportioned branch-attachment shape
You should now have an upwards-swept branch with downwards-hanging needle leaves made of 132 tris. Scale and randomize the proportions to your liking.
To complete the fir, add a tall thin cylinder to serve as a trunk and scale the top circle to taper it. Duplicate the branch and rotate them around the trunk [mind the Pivot-setting]. Insert loop-cuts to provide faces to connect the branches to with [Ctrl+E > Bridge Edge Loops].
The larger lower branches are heavier and have a less pronounced upwards-sweep. If the tree is supposed to tower over other trees with a long branchless trunk-section, extrude the bottom-ring of the trunk straight down because tree-trunks only taper on foliage-sections for reasons related to mechanical stress.

*Low Poly Aloe Vera*
Ref. infogalactic.com/info/File:Aloe_vera_flower_inset.png
The complicated tangling of the succulent's leaves can be beautifully simplified in low-poly style using one of Blender's built-in primitives:
1) insert an ico sphere
2) switch to Vertex-Selection [1], wireframe-display [Shift+Z] and from a side-view [Numpad 1] box-select [W] all vertices in the top half of the sphere, switch the Pivot-Setting to 3D-Cursor-based and flatten the northern hemisphere by scaling along the height-axis to zero [S, Z, 0]
3) switch to Face-Selection [3], grab only one of the flattened triangles and extrude [E] straight up, then merge all vertices at center [Alt+M, "At Center"]
4) repeat for most or all of the flat triangles, tris near the center should be extruded taller than tris near the rim
5) switch back to Vertex-Selection [1], box-select [W] all spike-vertices and fan them out by scaling with Cursor-Pivot along the horizon-plane [Shift+Z]
Randomize the shape to your liking and populate your forest with succulents.
_Then realize that succulents don't look natural next to Douglas firs, erase your composition and model some Mediterranean conifers and palm-trees instead._

love the tutorials.I may do some videos on doing these tutorials because some funny stuff happens lol,Like my ico sphere is one giant sphere with missing faces here and there even when i scale it down,and when i did hte skin mod on trunk i had to scale it down because it was a huge blob of polygons.
Edit: And i found out why my stuff was being crazy.
what did you find as the solution
I need this answer
Nice Tutorial! I have one big issue (using Blender 2.83 LTS): When i have my model ready for coloring and i open the shading tab, my object becomes something like specular-reflect-invisible(?)-ish. I can´t see the colors i am adding on it like you do at min 13:52. I never had this issue before. Even if i open a new project, this issue is still there. Can you help?
is it in material preview mode?
In the shading tab? Yes.
@@iEL_Rivale do you meant the workspace as it may still not be set to material preview mode
I mean that my cube is at the step to get colored, but not like in your video is the object white, its is specular like the ball left from the white ball at min 13:52 where the Buttonshower says LEFTMOUSE in front of those said preview balls.
Thanks for saying apply and then saying - but make sure youre happy with the tree. I already saved it. :(
I made this model for my game and its amazing :)
Keep doing tuts :) I learnt so much :) Thank you :)

how did you box in the points and move them? at 1:35 thanks
you can box select as long as you have the default selection tool enabled in your tool bar at the top

Third one could use some texture painting to make it look very nice
