    After pressing double G for edge side you can press E for evenness.
    Also would suggest that you use the grid fill to close of circles

    Nice little step by step evolution video man! Having a fair amount of experience using the tools, to the point that I'm not necessarily finding myself asking "how" every two minutes, it's interesting to see your choices and following the process from a higher level. That gets you thinking about the alternatives for making your shapes, where no one option is necessarily right or wrong.

  • @abkh5780
    @abkh5780 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I several years ago inspired by a video describing some machine thing. The creator of that video said he used blender to build to a comment. I downloaded an old version and tried to follow a tutorial for the beginners but used to fall asleep while watching it😁. Anyways now I came back to blender to do a house construction modeling. I just learnt how much we can do with the blender if we could learn it.

  • @LallyOfTheValley
    @LallyOfTheValley 4 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    That bevel+subsurf workflow seems really powerful, I've been learning how to use subsurf but feel like I'm overusing it and have to add loads of loops - this seems like a muuuch better method!

    • @cg_cookie
      @cg_cookie  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Couldn't begin to express how powerful it is. And because of its non-destructive nature, it's incredibly easy to go back to in case you need to fix up some edges. Loops are cool, but the second I learnt about this method it was as if I had learnt how to model all over again! -Chunck

      There are several videos on the channel that cover rigging in different capacities, so taking a look there may help you out. As well, we have an awesome course on rigging a rifle that may be useful for those more mechanical rigging jobs (th-cam.com/video/G3lYabSIUD8/w-d-xo.html, timestamped primer video for you to a particular part that I think may help). -Chunck :)

  • @112productions
    @112productions 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I found this very useful and I love the organic feel each part has using the sub surf/bevel weight combo. I use it for most objects I make.
    However, I find that I am working with a high vertices /faces count. I am currently modelling a BMX using this method and I am nearly complete. I have just the bike in my scene and I am at 3million verts! It went up to 5 million when I used an array for the chain. Before any decimating.
    Any tips on keeping verts lower using this technique?
    Thanks for the great content, I really appreciate it

    • @112productions
      @112productions 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      So after about 8 hours of learning n working, I got my face count down to 650,000. I used a mixture of unsubdividing, manually deleting edge loops and faces, limited dissolve, and the decimate modifier (but hardly used the decimate mod)
      Thanks again for pointing out this technique. I love it!

    @Gichanasa 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    As much as I love Blender... the development team really needs to get its act together to enable setting the pivot points and building a hierarchy. Even if you simply provide this finished model to an advanced Blender user, it would require an advanced maneuver to get it to mechanically operate like a poseable desktop lamp. Seems like it's something that is not in the nature of Blender... perhaps import into Maya to set up the hierarchy and animate?

  • @alejmc
    @alejmc 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    I believe the same rules could apply when making a car, except maybe long stretches of smooth geometry where the bevel is non-constant along the surface, but even then, the support edges would then be used in combination to drive the weights of the bevel themselves. Would that be too far off-mark?
    As someone that has used a long time ago support loops every-freaking-where to make smooth hard surfaces, mostly trucks, helicopters, cars and planes... this is something that I would like to try as an effort to get back to proper 3D modeling.

      Ultimately, one method doesn't outright trump the other. They both have areas that they perform better in, because they do different(ish) things with similar looking results. I use both in my workflow consistently, it's a matter of knowing where you'd want to use one over the other. -Chunck :)
